Rolv would lead his armies, taking substantial land from the Templars for Aurdicania. When the peace was finally made, Rolv would himself take a large part in the negotiations, demanding that he himself be given a substantial dukedom and the title of marquize of the southern isles. While this would spell the end of the Angelic Wrath Wars, it was only the begining of what would become the Sorthänd legacy. | Rolv would lead his armies, taking substantial land from the Templars for Aurdicania.

As a result of the ... war... | |||
The 100 years of history when the Borean Twin Republic existed was the most peaceful and one of the most prosperous periods in Vithinjan history. From this it has received another name: The Unforgotten Peace. Many have attributed this peace to the sharing of policies with the more peace-minded Caerics. | |||
Thanks to the many years of peace this period saw the dawning of a relatively new part of the Vithinjan nation: a scientific sector, largely inspired by similar institutions that already existed within Caergwynn. This lead to a golden age of discoveries in Vithinja. | |||
This unprecedented period of peace would end when what would become the [[First Great War]] broke out between [[Kiravia]] and [[Burgundie]]. With both sides long having been an important trade partner to Vithinja, but a closer alliance being established with Burgundie more recently as well as a fear of Kiravian claims on the vital island of Nordlän, the Borean Republic reluctantly joined the war on Burgundies side. The war would not see much fighting for the Vithinjan army, with not a single battle being fought on borean territory. However, the most important impact of the war on the republic was the near totatl destruction of the navy, requireing years to rebuild it into a competent fighting force. The war would end with huge changes to many other nations, but nothing was really gained nor lost by the republic. At the very least peace had returned. It would not last long. | |||
Only a year after the First Great War, Faneria would declare war to take a large portion of Caergwynns western territories, as well as possibly seizing the Vithinjan straight. This war would come to be called the Borean War, a large-scale conflict that lasted for three years and saw the near total collapse of the republican army, as well as the first ever conflict where Vithinja could not defend itself through the use of their formerly powerful navy. The terms of surrender were to be cataclysmic, the loss of nearly a fifth of the caeric population, a large demilitarized zone as well as occupation zones separating the Vithinjan lands from the Caeric ones. The treaty would effectively cripple the nation as well as prevent the cooperation of the twin republic. In the end however, this would prove to have been going too far. Within the next five years the international pressure on Faneria would force them to substantially roll back their gains. They would still have gained much, but the blow to Vithinja was substantially lessened. | |||
As a result of the attempt to split the nation as well as the large scale devestation, loss of power and loss of confidence in Caergwynn as a shared ruling power Vithinja would reform under a new dictatorial government, focused on rebuilding the nations ability to protect itself through the navy. | |||

Vithinjas varied geography is both a blessing and a curse. Although large portions of the lands are difficult to impossible to inhabit, they hold some of the most beautiful landmarks to be found in the world. Between the innumerable fjords covering the coast to the northern villages surrounded by the sights of huge tall mountain ranges, large glaciers that glimmer in the sunlight and if any visitor is lucky, the wondrous northern lights. This would make it a better tourist location if the temperature didn't drive most foreigners away. | Vithinjas varied geography is both a blessing and a curse.

The Vithinjan military can be divided into three distinct organizations: The Kingdoms Flotilla of Vithinja (''Viþinjske Rikysflottjan''), The Union of the National Reserve (''Fhecket fyr Länsvärnent'') and the Guards of the Revolution (''Nydåningsvacktyt''). Some would only consider the first two as actual members of the military and the third as a paramilitary organization, especially since the constitution contradicts itself when describing them. The Kingdoms Flotilla is divided into four main components: The Royal Marines (''Rikysvärnet''), The Valkyries (''Valkyrierne''), the Homeland Navy (''Länsförsvarsflottan'') and the Wolves (''Ulvärne''). | The Vithinjan military can be divided into three distinct organizations: The Kingdoms Flotilla of Vithinja (''Viþinjske Rikysflottjan''), The Union of the National Reserve (''Fhecket fyr Länsvärnent'') and the Guards of the Revolution (''Nydåningsvacktyt'').
