Veravania is located in Northern Deutscheslavania; Frankster is at the most northern point. From earliest times Veravanian territory has been protected by the Vera Mountains. Vicapagans and Vera tribe occupied it when the Tommie Expedition encountered the region in 1034 A.D.
In 1039, Edgar Tommie negotiated the area and set up the first Veravanian monarchy out of the Vera tribesmen’s tribal leaders in return for help in fighting off almost constant Dannunifian attacks in the 1040’s. Colonization was encouraged, and the Church spread energetically. After Tommie's death (1054) the Kingdom soon fell into bad relations with the Tomcovy monarchy. Zender Warcia Klief reconstituted the Veravanian Kingdom and attached Platterveravania to Tomcovy. This alienated the Veravanians from the Deutscheslavanians, a division and rivalry that would last for many years. Veravania proper escaped conquest by the Deutscheslavanians due to the inability of the Deutscheslavanians to pass an army through the Vera mountains.
The 11th and 12th century saw the height of Veravanian feudalism and also witnessed the marked development of Veravanian culture. After the death (1246) of the last Vera Tribal leaders, King Voctorius of Sonster acquired (1251-69) the thrown and created the Voctorius royal line. Fearing his power, the Deutscheslavanians elected (1273) Rudolf of Haspaat Veravanian king. Rudolf I asserted (1282) his royal privilege to reclaim the four duchies of Platterveravania from the Deutscheslavanians and included them in his domains. After the murder (1308) of Rudolf's son, Robert I, the Deutscheslavanian princes balked at electing another member of the ambitious family.
Robert's ducal successors enlarged the Haspaat holdings by acquiring Vera (1363) and Derserta (1382). Marriage allowed Robert II to be elected Veravanian king in 1438. Beginning with Albert II, the rulers of the Veravania were always chosen from the Haspaat dynasty. During the long reign of Frank III (1440-93), the protracted Haaspat wars with Deutscheslavania began. In the same year Frankster was besieged for two weeks by troops of the Deutscheslavania under Karl the Magnificent, who had made a forceful advance across the Vera Mountains. The Deutscheslavanian threat to Veravania ebbed and then climaxed again in the second siege of Frankster in 1683.
The patterns of feudalism were weakening in Veravania, especially as the money financial system spread, and in the 16th century the marketable revolution diminished the importance of Veravanian traffic routes and of the ancient gold and silver mines of the desert.
The monarchy, although repressive of free speech and worship, was far from absolute; taxes and other powers rested with the regional estates for a further century. Emperor Victor VI (1711-40), whose dynastic wars had drained the state, secured the succession to the Haspaat lands for his daughter, Marivette. Marivette 's struggle with Gunter Von Arthor of Tomcovy in the War of the Veravanian opened a long struggle for domination in the Veravanian lands.
Except for the loss of Platterveravania, Marivette held her own. The provincial estates were reduced in power, and a capable centralized organization was created; as the nobles were attracted to bureaucratic service their power as a class was weakened. Marivette 's husband, Francis Vera, became Veravanian king in 1745, but his position was largely titular.
Their child, Matthias I eventually became the King of Veravania in 1754 and started the Vera-Haspaat Royal Line. Matthias I presided over one of the worst periods of Veravanian history. During this period, the Deutscheslavanians annexed much of Veravania’s southern lands and gave Northern Veravania to Duke Hector of the Vicapagans and created Vickesberg. This was only worsened by the unsuccessful attempts of Matthias II in the 1770’s to retake these lands.
When Matthias II was killed in 1779 in the Vera Mountains, his brother Robert III von Vera-Haspaat assumed the thrown and ushered in an era of isolation and renaissance for Veravania. During the previous period the Deutscheslavanians had caused massive damage to the mountain regions, Robert III concentrated on rebuilding these regions and strengthening the frontiers. This action, although initially done for military and political reasons, led to a revitalized Vera Mountain region and actually rigorous trade with Deutscheslavania. This continued well into the 19th century and culminated
Hostilities between the two nations had existed for centuries until 1875, when Crown Prince Victor Vera-Haspaat visited Tomcovy on a state visit. The beauty of the Princerina Carmela Klief Von Arthor took Prince Victor. The title of Princerina refers to a Princess that normally remains single until she can be arranged in marriage for political alliances. The matter was further complicated with since the death of King Rupert III in 1874. Prince Victor courted her much to the displeasure of the court of Veravania. Finally, Prince Victor agreed to cede all ancient Veravanian land claims if he could be married to Princerina Carmela. Veravania rejected this romantic display as a farce and called for Prince Karlo Vera-Haspaat to assume the thrown as King of Veravania. Deutscheslavania accepted the offer and named Prince Victor King and granted him the House of Von Arthor. King Victor denounced his titles in Veravania and assumed the thrown of Deutscheslavania with full honor and support of the Deutscheslavanian court.
King Carlo was livid and was poised to invade Platterveravania, but forces within Veravania had become used to the increased trade pressured him from taking action. In 1886, Veravania sued for the reinstatement of Platterland into the Veravanian Kingdom.
