'''Savoie''', Savoy (lat. ''Sabaudiae'') | '''Savoie''', Savoy (lat. ''Sabaudiae'') was a duchy located in the west part of Alps, southern [[Aurora:Europe|Europe]]. The capital of Savoy was [[Aurora:Saluzzo|Saluzzo]]. The last duke of Savoy was [[Thanamos]]. It was established on 12 August 2023 and has been sold on 16 July 2025, effectively ending its existence under Thanamos' rule. The same day towns in Savoyard core joined France, and that remained until the end of Terra Aurora. | ||

Not so long after the launch of [[Terra Aurora]], on 2 May 2022, [[Thanamos]], Vladie, Lamye and [[CorbeauNoiraud]] founded the town of Chambéry and joined Kingdom of Francia. The concept in mind was establishing a nation based on the historical kingdom of Piemont-Sardinia. Soon after in June 2022 the first major build was built: The castle of the Counts of Savoie, based on a Merovingian dungeon. | |||

Therefore, | In mean time, several friends of Thanamos, being former citizens of [[Terra Nova]]'s [[Nova:France|France]] came to settle their towns in Savoy. During the Savoyard expansion, [[Switzerland]] blocked the nation's extension. Therefore, Thanamos, Vladie57 (Mayor of Chambéry) and many town's members became inactive. Thanamos left the city for Rome to assist the Pope. The nation remained inactive for over a year and to be held by several trusted individuals. During this period, town of Chambéry became just another possession of Papal States and eventually [[Francia (Aurora)|Francia]]. | ||

Around April 2023, Thanamos came back to Chambéry (from then on renamed to Savoie), which was then a small settlement without no real urbanized and residential areas. Rather than that, the hamlet realized a protective function of French borders in the Alps. Very soon, Thanamos and Vladie started to develop the surroundings with houses and renovate the castle of Savoy.

The reasoning behind leaving the Holy Roman Empire | The reasoning behind leaving the Holy Roman Empire was lack of time of mayors and incapability of the Holy Roman Empire supporting militarly and economically. Also, in the eyes of Thanamos, the Empire has lost its prestige and main purpose a few months ago. The empire was also allegedly subjected to corruption and cronyism. Besides that, the nation reached the milestone of 100 residents the same day. | ||
The Towny nation was disbanded on 24 March 2024, as maintaining a one-chunk nation would be "costly". By this time, all towns left Savoie and joined the republic. | The Towny nation was disbanded on 24 March 2024, as maintaining a one-chunk nation would be "costly".

=== Thanamos III === | |||
On 14 November 2024 Prince [[Thanamos]] announces launch of the operation "Free Savoie" which main goal was to "liberate France from the grip of ... 'English'". On 23 November 2024 mayor of Armagnac blackmailed Savoy for 3000 gold under the threat of selling the town to French, for which the government accepted the offer and bought his town. On 24 November 2024 Duke [[3meraldK]] stepped out the throne and Thanamos took over. | |||
=== A short revival === | |||
After a brief rule of 3meraldK, Savoy's activity replenished to its fullest within a month or so, bringing over 100 constant resident count to the nation. First elections for a chancellor took place in late December. Under Thanamos' rule, /n Savoie was established once again, and most of Savoyard towns moved from Venice to the new nation. | |||
=== Withdrawal from Venice === | |||
Savoyard towns moving from Venice to the new country was inappriopriate to the respect of the treaty which they signed with Venice in March 2024. It caused severe distrust among Venetians - as a matter of fact, the bond of Savoyards and Venetians was on a low level ever since March. The growing distrust reached its climax in January 2025, when Venice kicked out Savoie from its structures. Main reasons were "being uncomfortable with Savoyard leadership", weak bonds between citizens of both nations, and seeing Savoy as an exploiter. | |||
=== | === Independent Savoy === | ||
In the beginning of 2025, a wave of denunciations striked Savoie, as well as a few countries around the world have irrelevantly declared open hostilities. The drama even came to a moment when Thanamos proposed a fight in-game, however it was met with no response. | |||
Two next rounds of a prime minister elections have concluded in 2025. | |||
On 6 February 2025, Savoy launched the only offensive against Genoa, resulting in occupation of 24 of Turin's chunks. | |||
On 27 March 2025, Savoie announced its constitution called "Magna Carta Sabaudiae". | |||
=== The fall of the duchy === | |||
Popular inactivity amongst the residents of Savoy was present since the spring of 2025. As the consequence, Savoy suffered a major loss of residents. In very early July of 2025, France launched an offensive on Savoy's capital, Saluzzo. The duke condemned the attack, but a few days later opened a bid for towns of Saluzzo and Venaissin. France bought both cities totalling 8000 gold ingots on 16 July, hence ending the rule of Thanamos for good. Town of Geneva signed a separate treaty of friendship with France, joining them and securing their safety. Ultimately, all towns in the core province joined [[Aurora:France]] and that remained until the end of Terra Aurora. | |||
