The Confederacy of Praymalic Kingdoms (C1)

Introduction
The Confederacy of Praymalic Kingdoms, or Confederation of Praymalic Kingdoms, is a loose binding of former-Gilnean dukedoms, the first of the three dukedoms to create the Confederacy as shown on the flag from left to right: Keel, Bannhurst, and Abingden. Despite the cosmopolitan Bannhurstian culture being most dominant, the Confederacy is marked by diverse cultures which are all promoted to emphasize the sovereignty possessed by each and every former-dukedom within the Confederacy. Its capital, Bannhurst, is known internationally as the human cultural hub of Azeroth, standing for thousands of years as an apex of creativity.

The Aquarine Insurgency
On Ignas 26th 2,847 with the unexpected death of Lord-Admiral Elric Tatersall, King Liam was in a bind as to who would be picked to fill in Tatersall's role. The Fleet Admiral Vernay Clemons was the most obvious choice; a renowned leader and one of the youngest high-ranking admirals, however he was also a strong proponent of secularism, and around the time of Tatersall's death was a secularist rebellion. Picking Clemons would also perhaps appear as an endorsement of secularism, while picking an Exarchist admiral such as Sorrell Carmine or Urias Arlin would emphasize Liam's support for Exarchism. In the end, Liam decided on Sorrell Carmine, a Lordaeronian-Gilnean and strong proponent of Gilnean Exarchism.

On Ignas 27th, the very next day after having been promoted to Lord-Admiral, Carmine would gather all the high ranking aquariners to Fort Brynnelan, a massive Bannhurstian naval fortress overlooking the Great Sea. Here, Carmine would announce his first action as the new Lord-Admiral; to expel all non-Exarchist admirals from the Aquarine. However many of these admirals had dedicated their entire lives to the Aquarine and couldn't handle losing their employment, one of which was Vernay Clemons.

Out of a fit of rage, Clemons would thus shove through the crowd of admirals toward Carmine, stabbing him in the heart with his rapier before kicking him off the ledge of the fort for his body to fall into the Great Sea. To his surprise though, the majority of the admirals came to his defense from the furious Exarchist admirals, going as far as to kill them to ensure the protection of Clemons. Thereafter, Clemons would declare the Aquarine Insurgency, a secularist entity separate from Gilneas and one which quickly gathered around half the Aquarine's ranks from the Holy Kingdom. This entity only lasted for around half a month, during its short life primarily operating within Keel and Bannhurst.

The Dawn of a Confederacy
Vernay Clemons knew well that his insurgency couldn't last forever, and so with the approval of the Grand Aquariner Council he turned to the duke of Bannhurst, Ubril Indrew Blackblade. There, he offered his Aquarine to the duke if he would declare independence against the Holy Kingdom. Ubril, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to finally liberate his people from the oppression of the King and Exarch would declare Bannhurst an independent kingdom and himself as its new King.

To his surprise, his declaration started a movement across Praymal—Keel and Abingden quickly following Bannhurst and declaring independence against the Holy Kingdom. However seeing that other dukedoms held a similar interest, Ubril offered to Keel and Abingden a chance to join in an alliance. After a summit in Bannhurst with the duke of Keel, Darias Vyn-Tolsaro and the duchess of Abingden, Lynn Volkester, it had been decided that a nation known as the Confederacy of Praymalic Kingdoms would be formed and Keel would absorbed into Bannhurst to fall under Ubril's rule. Though despite Keel now simply being a city constituing Bannhurst-Keel, the flag of the short lived Kingdom of Keel would be immortalized by being added to the flag of the Confederacy.
