Telvinra

== About ==
The Telvinra, (aka. Телвинра) was a Crimsonian hospital ship. It was one of the oldest hospital ships in the world and also served as the pride of the Crimsonian Navy. During the wars, the Telvinra was used in order to help heal wounded soldiers in battle. In 1992, the Telvinra sank in the Telvinra Sea along with the Dustreun and the Vaptsarov as a result of floaters operating in the area.
== History ==
The Telvinra first began construction in 1936 at the port city of Telvinra. However, due to the Great Depression and the economic crisis in Crimmitonia, the Telvinra was constructed in a sort of odd and narrow way, and the ocean liner company had seen the ship as an embarrassment, although they had continued to use it for another few years. However, in 1940, the Crimmitonian military overthrew the Crimmitonian government, and as a result, the company which had own the ship had ran away and left behind some of their assets, including the Telvinra.
== Second Great War ==
After the owners of the ship had fled Crimmitonia and abandoned it, the Crimmitonian navy seized the ship illegally without the permission by its owners and had paid over thousands of dollars so that they could secure their presence on the ship. After they had finally secured the ship from its owners, the Telvinra underwent major renovations as many of its interior was stripped. It transitioned into a civilian ocean liner into a temporary hospital ship, mainly due to the Crimmitonian navy's shortage of battleships which had forced them to buy old derelict ships to add them into their fleet. 
In 1943, the Crimmitonian navy took the ship into the frontlines of the Second Great War, and participated in healing wounded soldiers in combat, and it became one of the most reliable ships in naval conflicts. However, a sudden strike onboard the ship had forced the Crimmitonian navy to make a decision by docking the Telvinra until further notice for over a year until they had lost the war.
== Post-war period ==
In the post-war period, the Crimmitonian navy was heavily devastated in the aftermath of the Second Great War as many of their ships had sank in the conflicts. However, there were many exceptions that would nearly save the entire Crimmitonian navy, as the Dustreun had been docked for repairs years prior, the Telvinra was also docked aswell, which gave the Crimmitonian navy another chance at a good start. The Crimmitonian navy had decided to get the hospital ship operating once again the following year. However, there were many major setbacks as the government had demanded the Crimmitonian navy to handover the Telvinra and the Dustreun to their previous owners, as they had returned to mainland Crimmitonia to rebuild their company in the post-war era. After a long fight to possess the ship ensued, the Crimmitonian Navy managed to get hold of the ship after they had shown sufficient evidence that they had little to no ships. The government then dropped the demands and the navy continued to keep the Telvinra in the navy, including the Dustreun.
After years of the fight, the Crimmitonian Navy had managed to get the ship operating after a few years, and the following day a ceremony was held commemorating the day that the ship began its official operation. During the post-war era when mainland Crimmitonia had suffered over a dozen epidemics, the Telvinra was sent to several coastal cities to create more space for the hospitals in the area, and the Crimmitonian navy was proud of the achievements the ship had made. However, the Telvinra didn't last long, as the Crimsonian Civil War broke out.
== Crimsonian Civil War ==
In 1947, the Crimsonian Civil War officially began, however the Crimmitonian navy was not prepared as it still continued to be in a vegetative state. However, dozens of government officials and the Crimmitonian military underestimated the consequences of the civil war, doubting that it couldn't spread to the overseas territories and they could be driven out once they had used the remaining territories as a base. As a result of this, the Crimmitonian navy made a decision not to participate in the civil war and the Telvinra continued to operate and aid patients in hospitals, However, in the year of 1948, Crimsonian rebels planned an operation to seize the Telvinra, and in the afternoon Crimsonian rebels stormed the hospital. The crewman and the captain attempted to take the ship out of the port before the rebels could potentially seize it, but they had failed and the Crimsonian rebels had shot nearly all of them in retaliation.
In the aftermath, the Crimsonian rebels seized the ship along with the Dustreun the following year and news of the ship being seized by rebels spread nationwide. The rebels also had managed to restart the ships engine in order to use it in battle. After the People's Republic of Crimsonia was proclaimed, celebrations spread nationwide in mainland Crimsonia, and as appreciation by the Crimsonian Navy, fireworks launched from the ship and stayed in the port city of Telvinra for a few days.
== Crimsonian Navy ==
After the end of the Crimsonian Civil War, the Telvinra was incorporated into the Crimsonian Navy, and work on the ship immediately began. The ship was painted grey and the rest of the ships exterior was stripped. One of the crows nest on the ship was taken down and it was replaced along with an additional crows nest. In 1958, during the Bistonian Conflict, personnel onboard the ship including all patients were spared by Bistonian rebels while they were docked in West Bistonia. 
== Greco-Crimsonian War ==
The Greco-Crimsonian War was a conflict and a naval war between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Greek military junta in early 1970. Crimsonia's motives for the war was to end the Greek military junta and to assert their dominance over the Telvinra Sea and reclaim control over parts of ocean seized by Greece before the war and in 1970 the People's Republic of Crimsonia declared war against the Greek military junta. The Telvinra was also involved in the Greco-Crimsonian War, however not much was documented about the Telvinra during the conflict.
During the mid phases of the war, the Telvinra had passed through the site where a Crimsonian battleship had sunk, which horrified some of the crew, however this mostly affected the captain of the Telvinra. It was also during this period that a new and experienced doctor named Alexander was assigned to the Telvinra.
== Crimsonian-Bistonian War ==
In the 1980s, the Telvinra began showing signs of aging, as parts of the ships structure had been rusting for decades, however, along with the Dustreun, the Crimsonian navy had decided to ignore the signs and the ship continued to operate for another decade. In 1987 months before the war, Alexander had focused on an abandoned sector in the ship, as he decided to convert it into his own personal laboratory to conduct experiments on patients. During the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, the Telvinra was stationed at the ports in West Bistonia to free space for other hospitals, as a polio epidemic was rising in the area, this however was not effective and the ship was overrun with patients.
In 1989, rebels from the West Bistonian Islamic Front attempted to sabotage the ship, and as a result a shootout occurred in the hospital and the ship. This immediately forced most of the crew and the captain to move the ship to mainland Crimsonia, where it would be docked for another 3 years.
== Aftermath ==
In the aftermath of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, the Crimsonian navy was completely devastated as nearly all of their battleships had been destroyed in the war. They had made attempts to construct new ones with the help of the Crimsonian government, but they had been foiled as the Crimsonian government had no money and the navy didn't have the budget required to restore their status. As a result of this, the Crimsonian navy had made decisions to make some of their older fleets operate again, including the Dustreun and the Telvinra, which had been docked for over a year. The Telvinra was dusty and shelves were filled to the brink with expired medicine. Work immediately began on the ship, and setbacks immediately showed up, as many of the ships internal structure had worsened and ignored. However, the Crimsonian navy denied the claim and forced many workers to continue working on the ship. During this period, Dr. Alexander continued to stay in the ship for another year, however he wasn't capable of conducting the experiments as many of them had been moved years ago. The following year, the Telvinra was able to operate again.
== Siege of Telvinra ==
In 1992, the Second Crimsonian Civil War broke out, with the Free Bulgarian Army seizing Southern Dobruja, and in the early phases of the civil war they had reached to the city of Telvinra, as Crimsonian troops attempted to push out the Free Bulgarian Army a distance away from the city. During the siege, the military hospital in Telvinra was bombarded by artillery coming from the occupied districts of the city, and as a result the Telvinra was called to the port city of Telvinra to establish a temporary military hospital in the naval base in the city. 
As the battle for Telvinra reached into midnight, rebels were close to destroying the last Crimsonian holdouts as they had surrounded the city. As a result, Crimsonian troops began to slowly retreat while wounded soldiers overran the ship. Crimsonian troops then boarded the Telvinra and the remaining forces which were denied from entry into the Telvinra was forced to fight against Crimsonian rebels. As rebels destroyed the last remaining Crimsonian pockets of resistance, they arrived over a distance away from the Crimsonian naval base, and as a result the captain of the Telvinra forced personnel to cut the ropes holding the ship as the captain witnessed the crew onboard the Dustreun doing it. After the Dustreun moved out of the naval port, the Telvinra followed aswell and escaped the port city, with Vaptsarov doing the same.
After the sudden departure, Crimsonian officers sent a message to all captains onboard the three ships, claiming that they had accepted their fate and that the remaining troops left on the ports decided to stay in order to fight the rebels. The Crimsonian officers then gave them orders for all ships to remain drifting in the Telvinra Sea until Crimsonian troops manage to secure Telvinra and they would be given permission to return to the city. 
== Arshturn ==
The Telvinra had no clear motives, as the crew and the captain had no idea on where they would be directed to, and as a result along with other ships, they decided to arrive in another Crimsonian naval base in Arshturn. However, both ships had failed as a result of the Free Bulgarian Army's presence in the Telvinra Sea.
==Last days==
=== Day 0 ===
In Day 0, the Telvinra had recently departed from the port city of Telvinra, and received orders by Crimsonian officers, which had sent their messages and condolences to all ships which had departed. As 3 hours had passed, the captain of Telvinra had made a decision and forced the crew to cut contact with the Dustreun and the Vaptsarov, as they were paranoid that the ship might be shot down if they continued to follow them. 2 hours later, the Dustreun attempted to contact the Telvinra and Vaptsarov to no avail. In the radio room, personnel attempted to get the radio working as somebody had sabotaged the radio after they cut contact. Once they had managed to get the radio operating by grabbing one of the spare radio equipment from the storage sections in the ship, the news had came that Crimsonian troops failed in the siege and that Telvinra had been captured by rebels. The last remaining Crimsonian officer then demanded that all ships which had received their last message should arrive in Arshturn, but however the Telvinra didn't manage to get the message, and they would soon become lost in the Telvinra Sea.
In the hospital ship, the situation was chaotic, as dozens of wounded soldiers caused the ship to be overrun. A few wounded patients soon immediately died of blood loss, and as a result some of their bodies were sent to Dr. Alexander, who would soon use their corpses to make horrifying things despite many of the nurses being unaware. Many of the expired medicine was used on soldiers, and as a result some of their conditions had worsened. Some of the patients conditions were severe to the point they were escorted to the lower levels of the ship.
=== Day 1 ===
Day 1 had passed onboard the ship, and the situation has slightly began to calm down. Some of the crew and the captain held a meeting in one of the office quarters deciding whether they should return to Telvinra to surrender to rebel forces or to return to Arshturn, and however continued to debate for long until it became inconclusive whether or not they should return or arrive. Bodies were dumped into the Telvinra Sea by the nurses and the cleanup of the ship began afterwards. A fight ensued between the soldiers and the nurses onboard as they kicked out one of the soldiers from the wards for trespassing. As a result of this, many of the crew and the captain forced the soldiers to give up their weapons, however only a certain amount of people were able to carry firearms.
With the sudden arrival of patients in the Telvinra, Dr. Alexander became satisfied of the result and immediately began working and conducting illegal experiments on patients, during the hours when nurses would close the lights in the lower sick bay, Dr. Alexander would inject some of the patients sleeping with a substance which would paralyze them, and he would drag many of the patients to Section Percent, a small laboratory he had set up. He began torturing many of the patients during the night hours.
=== Day 2 ===
Day 2 had passed onboard the ship, and the situation still hasn't continued to stabilize ever since the captain had decided to seize firearms from the soldiers onboard the ship. As a result, troops on the ship began turning against the captain and the personnel onboard the ship and made plans to seize control over the ship. However, a certain amount of people had given information about the plan towards the captain and the crew, As a result, they immediately began plotting to counter them, but their plans would be foiled as soon many of the crewmen convinced all sides to stop. 
Later on in Day 2, some of the soldiers had began to realize that some of the wounded patients in the lower decks of the ship had disappeared over the past few days, and began putting the blame on Dr. Alexander because he was staying at the lower bay during the night hours. Suspicion quickly grew between the doctors and the soldiers onboard, and they decided to make a plan on finding who made them disappear. As a result of this, Dr. Alexander then took the matter into his own hands, and at midnight in the ship, he carried a weapon and brutally assaulted one of the soldiers until he was dead. 
=== Day 3 ===
Day 3 had arrived, and the situation has stabilized for the day, and the captain decided to return many of the firearms to the troops onboard, later on, the tension then rose as one of the soldiers were spotted dead later on in the lower decks of the area. More patients later died as a result of untreated wounds and they were dumped into the Telvinra Sea, as the situation in the ship became desperate, personnel attempted to make contact to their surrounding areas for help, but it came to no avail. Later on, the radio equipment was sabotaged and destroyed and no remaining spare equipment was left. Food shortages began taking a toll on the soldiers onboard, as fights between them were common. Then, a last meeting between the personnel and the captain was held, and in the end they decided to arrive in Arshturn.
After the soldiers death, more and more patients began to disappear, frustrating the soldiers onboard the ship, they approached Dr. Alexander in the sick bay, and brutally beat him till he was bleeding. The nurses attempted to stop the soldiers from beating Dr. Alexander, but they were also beaten in the process, this however distracted the angry mob as Dr. Alexander began running to the stern down the stairs. The remaining soldiers then ran and chased after Dr. Alexander downstairs. He attempted to lock the door and ran down further to lock another set of doors. After the angry mob successfully kicked down the door, they soon spotted Dr. Alexander's secret sector, however as they attempted to open the door it was locked and they couldn't bother kicking down the door, as they wanted to make a plan to starve Dr. Alexander so he could unlock the door.
After the mob discovered the sector, the captain immediately heard about the assault, but however due to unknown circumstances he decided to ignore the problem. He then went to the area where Alexander fled and he was baffled that there was another section in the ship. He accepted the decisions made by the soldiers and returned back home to his quarters while the crew directed the ship towards Arshturn. During sunset, the captain had suddenly become paranoid, and as a result he demanded that all of the crew should throw away and dump documents towards the sea. At midnight, the captain became even more paranoid and nearly shot a crewman dead.
=== Day 4 ===
Day 4 had arrived, and this was the last day that the Telvinra would be sailing. The situation on the ship has gotten worse, as soldiers had gone far as to put bullet holes into the door and walls of Dr. Alexander's personal area for him to respond to no avail. The captain had been locked in his room due to his paranoia, and the nurses had been beatened to a pulp, with the Telvinra still unable to contact their surroundings for help. Food shortages on the ship had run rampant, and corpses still continued to be dumped into the Telvinra Sea often. After attempts to make Dr. Alexander respond, they kicked down the door, however, the other door was locked aswell. As a result of this, they moved furniture and blocked the door to prevent him from escaping.
4 days prior, the Free Bulgarian Army had invented a handmade weapon called floaters, these floaters were artillery guns mounted onto a platform which would later on be surrounded by paint, grass and other things as camouflage, to disguise as a island. Many of these floaters began operating in the Telvinra Sea and it was able to travel at medium speeds with engines. As midnight arrived, one of the floaters began operating in the ocean and spotted the Telvinra drifting in the sea, the crew had speculated it to be a battleship due to its color and as a result went beyond their command by going near the ship, and fired the first artillery round while the rest of the people onboard were sleeping. The floater then fired a hole into the ships port side of the bow, and then fired another round which went into the ships mid-section keel, with the final round being fired directly towards the stern.
After the floater had fired over 3 holes into the ship, the ship immediately began taking in water rapidly, as the soldiers and the crew onboard woke up to a sudden loud explosion. They ran to the lower decks where the lower sections were partially flooded. As it spread, the alarm went off the following night, with dozens of soldiers, patients and personnel running to the upper decks where they were waiting for lifeboats, meanwhile, the rest of the patients in the lower sick bays were not escorted outside the ship and they were left abandoned, as they were unable to walk due to their injuries. However, just as they were bound to launch the lifeboats filled to the brink with the passengers, the machine lowering the lifeboats had malfunctioned and as a result dozens of personnel and soldiers fell into the freezing sea. The paranoid captain, who was recently released from his room, began a murder spree and killed another 6 people before he was apprehended by crewman, he was then released and a fight occurred, which resulted in him dropping down below the cold seas along with another crewman who was fighting him.
The ship began to rapidly tilt, and in Section Percent, Dr. Alexander stayed in his office as the water began gushing in rapidly, as a hole was in the middle of the section, he later on drowned afterwards. 40 minutes into the sinking, the power went off, making people unable to see in the dark. Beds, carts and equipment including lifeboats began sliding off which crushed people in the process including a dozen patients in the main medical bay. In the lower sections of the ship, the situation was getting dire as patients attempted to crawl to the door in order to open it, while some had been crushed by the beds as water began flooding each room. An hour had passed, and half of the ship was completely underwater, and over a minute after, the Telvinra had completely sunk.
== Aftermath ==
In the aftermath of the sinking, many of the people who fell off the ship died due to hypothermia or they had drowned, and as a result only 12 people survived the sinking, as some had been on lifeboats or some had held onto floating objects or furniture, however, they couldn't get any help or notice from any of the surrounding areas, as the crew did not send help to any nearby vessel, as a result, the remaining 9 people died to starvation or thirst, with only 3 people still remaining. Chemicals from Dr. Alexanders lab which had spilled as artillery was fired at the ship then spread across the surroundings of the sea.
After days adrift at sea, vessels belonging to the Free Bulgarian Army had been searching for ships belonging to the Crimsonian Navy, and as a result they spotted a substance in the middle of the Telvinra Sea, the vessel immediately tracked down the substance trails to dozens of floating furniture and floating corpses, including lifeboats. As they went through the site, they discovered the flag of Crimsonia floating, and immediately it came to conclusion that a ship had sunk here. After further inspection through the names of the lifeboats and the lifevests carried by soldiers, many of the things floating on the sea were identified as belonging to the Telvinra, they then further realized it was a hospital ship after discovering the lifeless corpse of nurses. They immediately began looking for survivors and discovered only 3 had remained, they then retrieved them from the sea into the vessel where they returned to mainland Crimsonia in occupied rebel territory. They were then immediately detained by the Free Bulgarian Army and interrogated, they became eyewitnesses and had given accounts of what had happened on the ship. They were pardoned immediately afterwards. After the Telvinra had sunk in Day 4, the Dustreun was then shot by another floater the next day.
== Modern Day ==
In the modern day, the Telvinra remains wrecked deep below the Telvinra Sea, and over the past 20 years sections of the ship had begun to rot away due to the rust, however despite divers retrieving the corpses from the shipwreck, there were still rumors that bodies of patients still remained trapped within the bessel. Bulgarian authorities were still reluctant to raise the ship or dismantle the wreck, as the costs for it were high. Along with the Dustreun, it had become a tourist attraction and it opened for diving tourists with risks.
The survivors of the Telvinra had unfortunately all passed away, as 2 of them had died before they could potentially participate in interviews, the other survivor, who was a soldier in the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army, had died in Kradovo in the year of 1998 due to drug overdose, as the other survivor who was another soldier got shot by the Bulgarian military during the Kradovo riots in 1997. The last survivor of the Telvinra, who is also another soldier in the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army had continued to live for another decade and he participated in a interview stating his experience in the Telvinra. He died later on in the year of 2014.
== Sections ==
In the hospital ship Telvinra, there are only over a few dozen sections inside the ship, however there are not much in conclusion. Currently, all of the sections currently don't have images, although some of our developers or anybody else could have the potential to screenshot them and send them in the New Shingleton discord server.
=== Bridge ===
The main center of the Telvinra, it was used to maneuver the ship.
=== Doctor's offices ===
The doctor's offices are located near the bridge on the upper sections of the ship, it was where the main offices of doctors were located, including the captains office and quarters, inside the offices, the radio room is located at the very back of the section. The section is also merged with the quarters of doctors living inside the ship.
=== Doctor's quarters ===
The doctor's quarters are located near the bridge and it is merged with the doctors offices. It has several rooms where the doctors in the ship could often go to during rest hours.
=== Conference hall ===
Due to the small size and narrow areas of the ship, the conference hall is located in the doctor's office rooms, it is small and only two tables and chairs were placed inside the hall. It is where many personnel arrive to attend to meetings in the ship.
=== Sick bay ===
The sick bay is the main and largest room in the Telvinra, it was formerly a ballroom but since the Telvinra had converted into a hospital ship, it was converted into a main sick bay. In the sick bay, there are over a dozen beds, shelfs and a large cart which could be used to transport medicine.
=== Lower bay ===
The lower bay, also known as the lower sick bay, is the section located in the lower decks of the Telvinra. It was converted into a sick bay area incase if the Telvinra had any issues with overcrowding, it was also where patients who were severely injured were sent to the section. In all of the rooms, only 4 beds and two shelves were fitted into the rooms, including a fragile ceiling light. The beds had a difference compared to the ones located in the main sick bay, as a curtain was welded to the walls. Conditions in the lower bay were horrid, as some of the ceiling lights went out a long time ago, causing some areas of the section to be dark. The sections were not also lighted very well, which made some people unable to see. There were tiny holes in the walls and corners began rusting, and the metal doors were often broken due to its age. Doctors also didn't go to the place often, as they held Dr. Alexander to be the one responsible for taking care of the patients in the Telvinra.
However, despite the horrid conditions, it had become worse during the ships final days, as Dr. Alexander would often inject patients laying down on the beds with a chemical that would paralyze them temporarily, and knock them and drag them to his area called Section Percent. People would often avoid going to the area, as patients began slowly disappearing. Although the doctors allowed soldiers onboard the ship to visit the patients regularly, they would be met with a horrid smell of decaying bodies and feces.
=== Section Percent ===
Section Percent, also known as Dr. Alexander's personal sector, is a section located deep below the ship. Formerly before Dr. Alexander arrived to the ship, Section Percent was once another cargo section, as seen in several rooms of the ship where there were industrial shelves filled with boxes dating back to the 70s. After the arrival of Dr. Alexander, he took the keys to Section Percent and began turning it into his personal laboratory. It was earlier found out by personnel that the room was locked, although they had underestimated it as a malfunctioned door, and abandoned it for a while. After the Telvinra was docked in for several years, Dr. Alexander bought several dozens of furniture, caskets and glassware, and Crimsonian authorities immediately began taking records of his purchases, as he was deemed suspicious for buying it. When the naval ports would be closed for the night, Dr. Alexander would enter the ship with many of the belongings he purchased and dragged it into Section Percent. After realizing the rusts on the corners of the room, including holes, Dr. Alexander would use metal scraps and weld it onto the walls. In 1990, he had completed his laboratory, however it came to no avail, as the ship wasn't operating
In 1991, when workers attempted to get the ship operating, including fixing parts of the section, they immediately began focusing work on fixing the door in Section Percent, however when they managed to break through the door, they were immediately surprised as a trap had paralyzed them. They disappeared the following day, and as workers began realizing their disappearance, they attempted to inspect the ship to no avail, only to find that the door on Section Percent had been fixed, although it still remained locked. In 1992, during the Siege of Telvinra, severely injured soldiers and remaining survivors went onboard the Telvinra, which gave Dr. Alexander opportunity to use them as test subjects for his experiments. At nighttime when all of the crew and soldiers were sleeping, including the patients, he would sneak out of Section Percent and open the lower sick bay and inject some of the patients with a chemical that would paralyze them temporarily. He would then drag out somebody he would be interested in from the sick bay into Section Percent and torture them.
On Day 3, after soldiers were frustrated by many of their friends disappearing from the lower sick bay, they confronted Dr. Alexander who was taking notes in the main sick bay, and after a fight Dr. Alexander ran to Section Percent after soldiers began chasing after him, then they discovered Section Percent, after the chaos which had erupted, soldiers began blocking and destroying some of the doors in order to confront Dr. Alexander to no avail. Later on in Day 5, floaters belonging to the Free Bulgarian Army fired artillery shells 3 times into the ship, with the second one hitting the rooms in Section Percent, as the ship was sinking, nearly all of Section Percent was rapidly flooding, and as a result Dr. Alexander gave up hope and sat in one of the rooms to drown himself. He later on drowned. In the aftermath of the sinking, toxic chemicals from Section Percent began leaking and spreading to the Telvinra Sea, where they would spread to the point rebels had used it as a way to locate the Telvinra.
=== Cargo ===
Although the section does not exist inside the Telvinra currently, it is proven that in the storyline the cargo section of the Telvinra does exist, including with all ships including the Vaptsarov and the Dustreun. Although not much was known, it held cargo containing dozens of medicine, and many other things alike.
== In games ==
* Although not ingame, the Telvinra can be found in the group models of the group, Titanic Ship Builders. You can find the group model here including its previous lore.
* In the game, My Ship Creations Museum by mistyerisa, you can find another room dedicated to the Telvinra behind the Dustreun museum, where a mini scale version of the Telvinra can be spotted inside a glass display case. All of the Telvinra's furniture can be located inside the room, The Telvinra museum recently opened on November 28th 2021.
