Elyrian Union

The Elyrian Union was the concept of a union between the independent states with an Elyrian culture in Azora. The concept was one of the most important goals of the Pan-Elyrian Movement and it was most often concentrated on the idea of a federation between the nations popularly known as the "three Elyrian daughters", Achysia, Ichoria, and Kathia. The concept of the Pan-Elyrianism had its foundations in the Elyrian cultural renaissance of the 14th century and the emergence of Elyrian nationalism in the same time period. Proponents considered that such a union would ensure a continued peace in Azora and stop what they considered to be fratricide wars between nations that were very similar culturally and linguistically. The Elyrian Monarchy that had briefly existed a personal union of the three countries between 1235 and 1245 was often used as an example that the Elyrian Union was conceptually achievable, and the notion gained a lot of traction among Pan-Elyrian writers and philosophers of the period. It was proposed several times during the Revolutionary Wars, but as the Wars themselves led to a resurgence of nationalism, and as they also renewed the Achysian-Kathic rivalry, the proposal lost its Pan-Elyrian purpose and was adopted within the irredentist and expansionist ideas of nationalists.

The idea of the Elyrian Union was proposed again during the Second Great War and right after its end, but it was rejected by liberal politicians in all countries due to its nationalistic past. Despite that, many consider that the pan-Azoran ideals that were an integral part of the earliest pan-Elyrian and enlightened proposals were carried on spiritually by the Azoran Communities.
