Took

History
The region of Took was initially under Yuktobania following the First Tookish War in 1880. At this time, it was known as the United Kingdom of Navis and Palanthas. In 2020, Took became the Principality of Took and declared its independence after the Second Tookish War. In 2045, Took, under the leadership of Kylonius, signed the Treaty of Belfast; this treaty was broken five years later, and Took became one of the first members of the Coalition. In 2056, Took fell to Directus as part of the Osean Continental War, but its lands were quickly returned under the Treaty of Midgar. Took went down a path of increased prosperity until a sudden attack from Samarkand, marking the beginning of The War of the West. In 2069, Took defeated Samarkand legions in the second attack on the nation.

Osean Continental War
Took, in partnership with ISAF, was one of the founding members of the coalition of allied powers, the opponent of Directus' rising power. Took joined ISAF in founding the coalition despite already being in an alliance with Directus.

Took was one of the three states invaded by Directus at the onset of the war (the other two being ISAF and Aurelia). While Directus initially made great strides in securing the Bay of Belfast region from Tookish forces which were practically nonexistent prior to the start of the war Took was able to effectively use its very large treasury to create a large army and by the end of 2051 a stalemate had been reached with Directus' II Legion outnumbered more than three to one in Took. Despite this obstacle Directus split it's army into two, supplementing its own forces with mercenaries and creating the IX Auxiliary Legion, Directus was able to defeat the Tookish armies and push them back to Kalm, which they fortified to make a last stand, the rest of Took at this point having fallen to Directian control. By late 2055 Directus was able to finally crush the last of the Tookish army at the battle of Kalm. What few forces remained fled north but were soon after beaten, thus signalling the defeat of Took at the hands of Directus.

Climate
Took bears the common climate of the south; it has a gentle climate that rarely gets too hot or cold, and as a result it is an ideal land for farming grain, depsite occasionally raining chicken fat from nether regions of Linyoa gladly.

Religion
The Tookish people primarily practice the Soleilian religion. The patron god of Took is Lunitari, the god of water, the moon, storms, and magic.
