The Asurine Coast (Lûlian Asurinica) was a small state to the south of Lûl which was eventually absorbed into Imperium Lûlium. It was founded following the Midway Massacre by Scæþing refugee jusipat after moving from a temporary base in the west near the borders of what would become Tianchao. Its name is derived from the great quantities of Asurine within its quarries.

Settlement and Early Days

Player jusipat founded what would become the Asurine Coast following the disastrous Midway Massacre. After much deliberation and nearly an entire ingame year of scoping out a settlement, jusipat settled on an isolated atoll just south of Lûl. Original infrastructure on the atoll was solely limited to a hole in a small hill that contained the bare necessities for basic survival. Eventually jusipat would begin construction of a small compound on the island made out of limestone, cobblestone and asurine bricks. The Asurine Coast's raison d'être was to be the industrial hub of the eastern hemisphere, employing the Create mod. Its fellow neighbour of Lûl was not consulted prior to the founding of Asurine so close to their borders. If conflict were to break out due to the shared proximity, jusipat planned on keeping the Asurine Coast under his domain. Luckily bcfoss was not troubled by the establishment of the new state.

Admission into Lûl

At its own insistance following the consolidation of the Western Economic Zone (WEZ) into the new nation of Tianchao the Asurine Coast was reluctantly admitted into the Imperium Lûlium following jusipat's contribution to the expansion of Lûl towards the east via menial labour involving digging for andesite and clearing required land for new construction. Under Lûlian law, the Asurian Coast was now protected from external threats at the cost of its own sovereignty and the necessary annual payments of tribute to bcfoss.

Contributions to the Empire

Asurine participated in the War of Conquest of Scæþing, producing arms and providing manpower to Lûl during the conquest.

Independence

Following an extended period of inactivity within Lûl, Asurine declared formal independence from Lûl during the Year 41 to no Lûlian opposition.
