Caliban

The Order of Caliban, also referred to as Ordos Calibrae, commonly referred to as Caliban, is a small monarchist nation located on the subcontinent of Gexico. Founded by an emperor who only went as Solvarii, it currently is a vassal state of Archonate of Orion and holds a moderately sized playerbase.
== History ==
=== Early history ===
The god Tallowmin, communed with a newly reborn Solvarii, having restored his body in exchange for loyalty. He ordered Solvarii to embark on a grand journey alongside his cohorts, Necron and Aoppen They sailed a mighty warship dubbed the CNS Iron Tyrant. Upon touching down on the land, each one founded their own town. Solvarii, now crowned emperor founded Nova Stockhoff, the capital. Necron founded Tabocan, a vast fortress town. Aoppen founded the slums of Veliche, of which they would provide the needed agriculture. Venturing out they discovered the Magehold of Rohldan, the fallen empire of Enovatha and the remnents of Theiónikos. Whilst these interactions were peaceful tensions did begin to rise as the four all yearned for full control of the island. However they agreed to be vassalized by a nation up north that was dubbed Kaisenuivr and gained strong relationships with the newly emerging Archonate of Orion, of which had decimated a Corry outpost just south of their land and was experiencing explosive growth at the time. The founders would become the inner circle and many serve as advisors to emperor Solvarii to this day.
Kaisenuvir would be forced to evacuate from their land in Gexas as Valora, the dominant power in the area grew aggressive and sought to conquer more land. Knowing Caliban could not withstand this newfound threat alone, Kaisenuvir transferred the vassalship to the Archonate of Orion in order to protect them.
Aoppen would tragically be forced to abandon the town of Velichiye due to external factors. From there it would pass onto many names. Ranging from the chicklandian 5n00b, the devout poke_west to its current owner Dmitri Romatrov. Of which it had graduated to an autonomous territory. One known as the Duchy of Velichia. Filling the town with newfound hope. Hoping to end the curse of a never ending cycle of desolation. 
=== Pirate conflicts ===
An inner circle member whom has had their name reduced to ash encountered the captain of a band of roaming pirates called the Seawolves. The nameless man opened with nothing but malice. Causing outrage among the pirate band, knowing they could not have won the war, Solvarii paid 70,000 crowns in reparations and not only exiled the nameless man but also removed all credit to his name within the Order. While the situation was ultimately resolved, it did leave a strong distrust of pirates in the Order.
Following the reactivation of the Iron Tyrant, Solvarii had created the Calibrae Marine. An organization that serves to fight and prevent piracy within the seas surrounding Gexico. This event was unpopular with the peoples house however popular with the commoners. The peoples house would refuse to vote on any issues regarding the Calibrae Marine and would stagnate the government. As such the inner circle voted to dissolve the peoples house. This event is still ongoing and as such info is unclear.
=== Regional cooperation ===
The Magehold of Rohldan had collapsed due to much of its population fleeing to other nations due to stagnation within the government and mass famine. The other three nations on the island annexed much of their land, Caliban to the land to the north, Enovatha took the south and Theiónikos took the west. Following their collapse, the Order sought to talk to their neighbors and halt their current isolationist policy. As such the Order has been far more open than before, this being symbolized by a bridge between Nova Stockhoff and the Orion city of Bunker hill.
== Government ==
The current and founding emperor Solvarii has absolute control over the nation, though ultimately he too is a servant to the gods and the overlord state of Orion.
The hand of the emperor is the second in command role for the government and also controls the military, the only exception is the deathwing which is loyal to Solvarii alone. The current hand of the emperor is the founder Necron.
The inner circle are the advisors to the emperor, they have the ability to propose laws for the emperor to approve. It is composed of town owners, faith leaders and ministry heads. The current members are as follows: 5n00b, Aop15, Yakurnism, SkyCannon, BBplays, and PeakPenguin2.
The peoples house is a now dissolved branch of the government that was democratically elected by the commoners. They would hold the same powers as the inner circle however in the wake of the war on piracy the peoples house was dissolved due to excessive filibustering regarding the Calibrae Marine. It is suspected that the officials in office at the time were bribed by the SeaWolves. 
== Geography ==
The Orders claims are all entirely located on the northern portion of the largest island on the subcontinent of Gexico. They border Orion to the north and west, Theiónikos to the southeast and Enovatha to the southwest. The Order occupies a majority of the forest and jungles of their island and a small portion of the savanna that is closer to the south. 
== Culture ==
The Order of Caliban is primarily lived in by the abhuman race known as the Calibrae Reforged. Whilst the Calibrae are still human, they differentiate in that their eyes glow a deep yellow and their strength is amplified over a common man. However the Calibrae Reforged only exist as humans who have long since perished, given a second chance by the god Tallowmin. The reforged are a warrior culture, seeking to test their might against any opponent who is willing and prepare for the long vigil. This has made the commoner of the Order, even if they are not Reforged they are often stoic and iron willed, not many things phase them anymore. They are builders, architects of stone but also soldiers, willing to defend the Gexos forevermore.
== Religion ==
The Order has the state religion of Tallowmism, of which a follower is to inherent the mantle of "the long vigil" in which they must root out the foul and heretical "fallen" that attempt to bring chaos from both within and without. Lead by the god of war known as Tallowmin and his mornival, the follower must be ever vigilant for signs of chaos. However it is important to note that most religions are still able to exist within the borders of the Order of Caliban, the only exception at the moment is the Nothing Path which was banned due to increase aggression towards Tallowmist followers.
== Towns ==
=== Nova Stockhoff ===
Nova Stockhoff is the active capital and largest city in the Order of Caliban. It is home to the largest population of Calibrae Reforged at 73%, there is a small population of humans at 25% and a tiny population of void creatures at 2%.

In addition it also houses a port that the Iron Tyrant calls home.
=== Velichye ===
Velichye is the third and smallest town in the Order, Currently lead by inner circle member Dmitri Romatrov, is an autonomous territory that exists under the Caliban banner. Due to stagnant leadership it has remained undeveloped for much of its existence. Romatrov has brought a breath of fresh air to the town, having caused explosive development that should transform it from a brutalist wasteland to a prosperous town like its kin
=== Rohldan-Enoah ===
Recently Annexed from the fallen Magehold of Rohldan, Caliban has converted the settlement into a land to experiment with newly discovered beverages, it exists as an effort to expand outward and interact more with the neighbors they have previously been ignoring.
=== Belt Bay ===
The upcoming riverside city was recently purchased from Orion and is currently run by PeakPenguin2. It has a small population but is undergoing heavy construction. Future projects include: A new Tallowmist church, a grand library, a lighthouse, a shop, and the continuation of a wall. Belt Bay is eventually supposed to be a major fish export and a center of culture and commerce.
