→Annexation of Brudxaan Province
| Line 82: | Line 82: | ||
The territory of what is today New Veltorina was, prior to the 1960s, a territory of [[Varshan]] known as the Brudxaan Province. The territory, [[Varshan#Conquest_of_the_North|conquered by Varshan]] in [[1525]], was a critical point which allowed Varshan to project its influence across the [[Nysdra Sea]] into [[Venua'tino]]. The inhabitants of the Brudxaan were ethnically related to the neighboring [[Quetzenkel|Quetzen people]]. In the 20th century, the [[Varshan#Dynastic_collapse|collapse of Varshan's Yun-harle dynasty]] critically weakened the state. Several foreign powers, especially [[Daxia]], encouraged [[Quetzenkel]] to annex the Brudxaan Province in order to establish a so-called [[Quetzenkel#Varshan_gradient|"Varshan gradient"]] that would buffer [[Cusinaut]] from Varshan. The annexation occurred in [[1962]]. The Quetzen acquisition of the territory would begin a six decade process of relative instability and ethnic movement that would eventually result in the establishment of the modern state of New Veltorina. | The territory of what is today New Veltorina was, prior to the 1960s, a territory of [[Varshan]] known as the Brudxaan Province.

Veltorine settlers began to arrive in [[1971]]. | Veltorine settlers began to arrive in [[1971]] and arrived particularly in Brudxaan. In the first decade and a half of Veltorine settlement, Veltorines generally enjoyed specific legal protections and a prominence in society protected by the Quetzen state. In this period, the new arrivals served as technical experts, consultants, and advisors to Quetzenkel as it modernized its military and economy; many of the arrivals had been scientists, civil servants, and even military officers in [[Caphiria]], and accordingly they imparted on the Quetzen state a semi-Caphiric model of administration and organization of the military. | ||
In [[1980]], the [[Catholic Church]] created the Diocese of Brudxaan (under the Province of the Nysdra) to serve the Veltorines of the Brudxaan Province, replacing an early Apostolic vicariate. The first Bishop of Brudxaan was a Veltorine priest named Guias Melinkes, and the establishment of the Diocese was the first distinctly Veltorine social or political institution within [[Quetzenkel]]. Melinkes, who would serve as Bishop until his death in [[2001]], became the world's most prominent Veltorine and was viewed by many Veltoriens - both in Crona and in [[Sarpedon]] - as one of the primary leaders of the Veltorine people. | In [[1980]], the [[Catholic Church]] created the Diocese of Brudxaan (under the Province of the Nysdra) to serve the Veltorines of the Brudxaan Province, replacing an early Apostolic vicariate.
