Associated Colors/Heraldry: Gold,Black,and Red
Short Description: We are refugees from a distant land
Background: Aridell, a distant land across the sea from where Eremor once stood. Aridell is a nation set in a distant desert/savanna that is rather large yet not the most influential nation out there. For years the Arids have battled many foes with sword and axe unaware that the rest of the world had much greater technology. The Dryrock Dwarves where the Arid's ally through many struggles as they helped each other all the time. Aridell caught word of an Empire called Eremor and set sail to see the great nation they heard of. When they arrived they found a frontier with scattered ruins and sent word back. For a while the colony grew and so did its influence. Aridell it self had another civil war and then at the worst time the Dwarves betrayed them for the Arid's iron mines. All ships where called back to Aridell and the colony was cut off and never heard from again. The Arid's fought ferociously and was cut down to 3 and a half legions. Each legion had 900 swordsmen, 50 archers, and 50 scout Calvary. The Civil war was over due to a new found unity but the Dwarves where still moving in on the weakened nation. The Arids sent a small boat to the continent Eremor once stood on to tell the Aridell Settlers and governor Isaac Graham of the situation but word never got back. The Arid council decided to retreat across the sea with as many riches and men they could take. The Arid's took 3 "Man-O-Wars" and striped them down for civilians and stone. They took multiple civilian boats to make the crossing. All of the boats where nearly destroyed but they would make it. The Arid's had 2 legions hold the capital while the boats where filled and left port. The Dwarves did not dare chase the Arids as they feared the Ocean deeply. The Arides came and split into two groups, the main body and a colony body. The main body landed far from Where Judona had control where the Smaller body landed close to Judonian influenced territory. The boats where all turned into houses and firewood instantly. Governor Moodie Mulang lead the Small party and this is his story.
Political Structure: Aridell is a democracy. A congress is elected by the people of a state. The congress elects two councils and they lead together. The fact that two councils ran the nation eventually lead to civil war so when the evacuation happened it was decided to only have a single council. The other volunteered to command the defense force of the capital until the boats left. A Governor is appointed when an Arid settlement is too far for the Council to directly control. A governor is mailed a set of orders and laws and then is left to run his state how he/she wishes. The flag was made to show equality. Gold is the Government, black is a chain, and red is the blood of the people and nation as a whole.
Building Style: Arid housing is usually stone or cobble stone squares with pyramid or rounded roofs that usually don't hang off the side. Some houses are decorated with a sandstone lining. High class Arid houses are large made of beautiful oak with hanging shingled roofs shaped like an upside down "V'. Larger towns use the square style to add smaller square housing on top to allow stacking and safe structural integrity. Almost all buildings are built at ground level but in Arid communities that used to live in the harsh desert monsoons some buildings are built with a raised foundation or on stilts. Even  though Monsoons are no longer a problem for said communities it has been hardwired into architectural culture.  
End Goal: I will try my hardest to keep my faction alive this long but here it is. Aridell wants to wait a few years to build a counter attack armada and army to take back the homeland and leave Aceon behind. They want to go back across the ocean to there secluded desert, jungle plains continent. (a few years will be maybe 6 months to a year IRL). When the time comes the boats will leave Aceon with about 95% if the Aridell population currently in Aceon.
