Atheros

During the Famine of 2138, a migration known as the Atherian Uprising took hold, in which what would become our president today, Asylla Wakeborn, led the Atherians from Estaea to Saltus, successfully allowing for the escape of the Atherian people from the famine. In only a few years, the ancient city of Cerulea was discovered in what is now Atheros. After its discovery, the Atherians fought against the native country, the Kingdom of Damagar, in what is known as the War of the Crows. For roughly 40 years, the war lasted, and tens of thousands of lives were lost among the Atherian forces. At first, it appeared as if the Kingdom of Damagar would become the victors, but a decisive battle, known as the Arrival of the Crows, turned tides on Damagar. In this battle, the Atherian airforce bombarded the Damagarian forces, annihilating them with precise and quick deliverance. Afterwards, the "Crows", as the Atherian stealth airforce was known as, allowed for the Atherian people to win battle after battle, until Damagar was conquered and was no more. But, unfortunately, the Crows were destroyed before Atheros was declared a country of its own.

Unlike Skyland and the Kingdom of Damagar, the Atherian people preferred to have a democratic system, and developed a government based on this system. Afterwards, the Atherians claimed Cerulea and redeveloped it into the modern capital of Atheros. Spreading out from Cerulea, the Atherians created much upon the continent of Saltus, and a colony was sent to take the land to the west. Manchatar, as the colony was named, allowed for much development of the Atherian military, and made it so Atheros became the third largest military power during the Age of Empires.
