Kingdom Mourns Princess Lena

Rizia, Monday, Sep. 1, 1942 - In a sorrowful announcement that has plunged the Kingdom of Rizia into mourning, Lena Toras, Princess of Rumburg and Princess Consort of Rizia cherished for her philanthropy and kindred spirit, was killed following a harrowing sailing accident. The tragedy unfolded yesterday in the Gulf of Valenqiris in the heart of a sudden tempest that ravaged the sea during the celebration of Princess Vina's 10th birthday. Despite valiant efforts by the ship's captain and a swift rescue operation by the coast guard, Princess Lena's injuries proved fatal, and she passed away at the hospital.

The royal family, overwhelmed with grief, has extended their gratitude towards the rescuers and medical personnel for their unwavering dedication and implores the public for privacy as they navigate through this profound loss. The entire kingdom is united in grief, honoring the Princess. As a sign of respect and mourning, flags across Valenqiris have been lowered to half-mast, marking the commencement of a mourning period for the dearly missed Princess Lena.

A Royal Delight: It's a Girl!

The royal family of Rizia has been blessed with a joyous addition. Princess Vina Toras, daughter of Prince Romus Torus and Princess Consort Lena Toras (nee Livingston), graced the world yesterday at 9:15 PM at Palas Rezna, signifying a prosperous continuation of the royal lineage. The birth was swift, with both mother and the princess, weighing a healthy 3.71 kilograms, and in excellent health. Prince Romus was present, witnessing the arrival of his daughter, who has been named in honor of Vina Livingston, King Alfred of Rumburg’s great-aunt.

Following the announcement, hundreds of subjects and well-wishers crowded outside the gates of Palace Rezna, cheering and screaming as officials placed a traditional birth announcement on a golden easel.

The Zille Agreement of 1927

Signed in 1927, the Zille Agreement granted the Republic of Wehlen temporary ownership of the Zille region of Rizia. Officially, the land was given away as a token of gratitude for Wehlen’s aid in quelling the Uprising of 1926. Unofficially, it also served as a covert reprimand to the Sazon rulers of Brenas for their alleged involvement in the rebellion. This 25-year arrangement granted Wehlen complete governance over Zille's economic and natural resources, encapsulating mining and agriculture, under the guise of ensuring stability and prosperity for the region.



While the agreement included provisions to protect the cultural identity and livelihood of the local Rizian populace within Zille, such as maintaining their traditions and facilitating cross-border exchanges, the reality was more complex. The onset of the Wehlen Civil War triggered significant Rizian emigration from Zille, highlighting the deeper discontent with the agreement's outcomes. The leadership of Wiktor Smolak in post-war Wehlen only intensified calls from Rizians for an early end to the agreement, revealing the enduring tensions and dissatisfaction with how the Zille Agreement had reshaped their lives and homeland.

The Wehlen Civil War

The Wehlen Civil War, a brutal conflict lasting two decades in the mid-20th century, caused widespread suffering with starvation, disease, and genocide. Seen as a proxy war between Arcasia and United Contana, it erupted due to a left-wing militia's emergence near Wehlen's Sordish border. Wehlen's plea for Arcasian assistance failed to avert economic collapse, as trade routes were severed, exacerbating the crisis. Neighboring nations sealed their borders, escalating tensions. Arcasian forces found themselves besieged and outnumbered by Contanan-backed militias, leading to urban warfare and a harrowing refugee crisis. The majority of neighboring countries turned away Wehlen refugees, culminating in the infamous "death march,”during which thousands perished.


In 1932, Wehlen's government was reinstated, leading the evacuation of Arcasian troops. Despite subsequent leadership under President Smolak and assistance from United Contana, the nation struggled with political and ethnic unrest, earning the label of a failed state. The repercussions of the Civil War continues to influence Wehlen's path into the 20th century, as the nation is still confronted with a fragile economy and restricted civil rights and political freedoms.
