Beluna, a charming independent Duchy with beautiful landscapes and a rich history, endured generations under the rule of the Emperor of Hawks. The Belunese people were compelled to provide resources such as iron and levies to fuel the Empire's relentless expansion.
Under this oppressive regime, they toiled as thralls in the mines and as soldiers in the Emperor's conquests, their sweat and blood laying the foundation for the Empire's rise. Despite its dominance since the 1st year after the Cataclysm, the Empire's downfall was inevitable. As the Empire slipped into slumber by the 37th year, neighboring domains and far-flung raiders seized the opportunity to strike.
On 38-4-1, Luria emerged as one of the Empire's successor states, alongside Turindië and Valkyria. The Belunese people and migrant raiders began to reclaim their lands and destiny. It was in this turbulent period that Kolfinna Kolfiniya of the Rathgarian Confederation led her forces to Beluna, reclaiming much of the region and securing recognition from the Confederation as its ruler on 38-7-5.
Despite Kolfinna's victories, doubts lingered among the Belunese regarding her legitimacy as an outsider. To address these concerns, she defied the Confederation and wed a local Belunese lord, Albertiano Rochalva, who assumed the rulership of Beluna in her stead. As the new Count, on 39-56-6, Albertiano declared Beluna's independence from the Confederation, restoring local governance.
The Duke, with the understanding that his people would benefit from being part of a broader community, aligned itself with the Successor Kingdom of Luria, forsaking his wife's barbaric heritage and swearing fealty to the Duchy of Pian-en-Luria. Under the protection of King Enacio Leal Seriaro, who sought to unify the Lurian peoples and confront external threats together, Beluna became a part of the Lurian Kingdom. However, despite the King's best intentions, this vision faltered in execution. The cultural and political diversity of the subrealms proved too vast to reconcile under a singular Lurian ethos. Local traditions and identities persisted, often in quiet defiance of the King's unification efforts, leaving Beluna and its peers culturally distinct rather than united.
Though King Enacio's policies brought stability and security to the realm, the dream of a cohesive Lurian identity remained unrealized. Instead, Beluna retained its unique Belunese character while benefiting from its place within the larger Lurian framework. The Duchy continued to flourish, with its peaceful coastlines, productive iron mines in the Redgorge Mountains, and close-knit, hospitable people.
With the slumbering of King Enacio, Beluna transitioned into a subrealm directly under the Kingdom of Nova Lúria on 43-27-6. This new chapter ushered in profound cultural and spiritual transformations, as the Belunese fully embraced the teachings of The Asrian Solisian Church. Additionally, one of Duke Albertiano's distant cousins was chosen by Helia I, Solar Ecclesiarch of the Church and regent of New Luria at the time, to serve as the first ruler of the newly restructured Kingdom, crowned as Dom Afonso Miguel, O Fundador on 44-2-5.
Unfortunately, it became clear that Duke Albertiano’s cousin was little more than a puppet of the Asrians from the distant northwest. Thus, on 45-34-2, Albertiano formally declared Beluna's Declaration of Independence, reestablishing Beluna as an independent realm. This renewed sovereignty came under the guarantee of the Erstes Imperium, and in alliance with the other Lurian Duchies that also seceded from the Kingdom and emerged from the dismantling of Nova Lúria.
