All of this happened in large part thanks to the scheming of the rulers of Aurdicania and Caergwynn, who secretly made a pact that would spell the end of the destructive holy war. They both allied together with the Templars to finally deal a definitive defeat to the Valkeer. This war took seven bloody years but would see the Vitruthavalkeer almost completely pushed out of the islands back into Borea. This was not the end of the celtic scheme however, as the two allied nations immedietly proceeded to declare war on the templars. During the war with the Valkeer they had kept back and limited the damage to themselves, placing themselves strategically to defend the templars lands as the templars themselves assaulted the pagans. The sudden betrayal of their former allies would substantially weaken the Templar orders, but they would still prove a tough opponent. After 15 years of war, they were finally defeated, with Rolv being born exactly a year before the war started. | All of this happened in large part thanks to the scheming of the rulers of Aurdicania and Caergwynn, who secretly made a pact that would spell the end of the destructive holy war.

Rolv would lead his armies, taking substantial land from the Templars for Aurdicania.

In 1983 a nuclear blast was detected in the arctic in a region currently claimed by Vithinja. This blast would serve as undeniable proof that Vithinja had an active nuclear-arms program. With it's hostile demeaner and lack of international allies, this would result in international sanctions and an indirect embargo, with Caergwynn being pressured to seize it's trade agreements with Vithinja. With all of these issues coming up just as the nation was preparing to elect a new National Council, the Reds did something unprecidented since the revolution of 1807: They marched on parliament to seize the power directly. This would result in the ''Battle of Tingssundabron'', where the princess-Valkyrian would fight together with her royal guard to protect the parliament against the Reds attempted coup. What would follow would be a swift but effective counter-coup by the largest branch from the Reds: the Cooperatist. They would seize the suspected schemers behind the plot to overthrow the government and ensure that the next elective season was carried out post-haste. The end result was a collapse of support for the Reds, with the Cooperatist and the Royalists becoming the two largest factions in the Assembly. | In 1983 a nuclear blast was detected in the arctic in a region currently claimed by Vithinja.

. | The Cooperatist would take Vithinja and a whole new direction, quickly opening the country up to foreign trade, even if corporative representation and interests were still discouraged. They would also start to open new diplomatic channels especially with nations like Burgundie and Kiravia to help the nation find new treaties and possible allies. | ||
... | One of the effects of this new economic policy was the Vithinjan Economic Miracle, where the Vithinjan economy suddenly grew by several sizes in only a few years. This boom exteneds almost all the way to today, with substantial growth thanks to a new export-based economy built most of all on natural resources and heavy machine industries. This would also see the birth of one of the stranger economic sectors in Vithinja: The mercenary industry, where large paramilitary groups would sell their services to distant wars, in part to fulfill a religious zealotry granted to the most devoute of followers of the Church of Rolv. | ||

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.
