Terre Blanche

**Terre Blanche** is a colony of the Agardian Empire, being established in late January of 1802 after a series of successful voyages by explorers Jean-Claude Camille and Denis Chardin, colloqually known as Denis and Jean.

## History of Terre Blanche

The history of Terre Blanche extends well over 200
years, first established in 1667 by way of the Monttou Bay Company, which charted and explored small sections of land along the coast before establishing permanent trade operations upon the creation of a fur industry.

Over the course of the 1700s and eventually up into the present day more swaths of land were charted and trekked by Agardian explorers Jean-Claude Camille and Denis Chardin, who became colloquially known as Denis and Jean (RLE: Lewis and Clark).

In their travels they discovered a breadth of natural beauty along with various native tribes, most of whom were hostile towards the two explorers, with Jean-Claude being mortally wounded at the hands of CHEROKEE natives.

Since the expeditions and finds of Denis and Jean along with the pacification of native peoples Terre Blanche has expanded into a thriving Agardian colonial territory with a booming fur industry and growing fishing trade along its coastline. Agardian miners have also began discovering mineral deposits in the northern hills as recently as 1834.

## Politics of Terre Blanche

Terre Blanche is a colonial state, and as such, most power is designated towards the white landowning natives. Native Martrian tribes however have been in the process of being forced further away from white landowners, or assimilated into the local culture.

The nation's legislative assembly is the unicameral Assemblée colonial, with the colony's Head of State, the Gouverneur général being Léon I. The nation's Head of Government, Ministre d'État is Alphonse Robespierre, Prince of Vitrieux.

## Economy of Terre Blanche

Terre Blanche has since its founding developed a thriving fur and logging industry, along with various mining operations being conducted across the land. Due to the cool but temperate climate of the area, the colony is also home to a thriving fishing industry along its coastline.

## Culture of Terre Blanche

The culture of Terre Blanche is mainly comprised of the same of Agardy. Various customs, cuisines, and traditions have transferred from Agardy proper but with some slight twists, reflecting a change in the continent and climate. Various native tribal cultures also coexist within the nation, if albeit shunned by the white population.

## Military of Terre Blanche

The military of the colony is largely made up of expeditionary forces from Agardy proper, along with a mix of home guard garrisons trained on the colony itself. The navy of Terre Blanche is comprised of a small fleet of transport and clipper ships.

## Martrian Agardian people

The people of Terre Blanche, regarded as Martrian Agardians are a hardworking populace that love their newfound colonial territory, along with its natural splendor.

Szkoła Klątw

Szkoła Klątw jest magiczną tradycją opartą na rzucaniu uroków i ich odczynianiu.

## Magia

Zaklęcia Szkoły Klątw, jak sama nazwa wskazuje, są klątwami. Mają przeważnie wysoki koszt oraz długi czas działania. Często ustępują po spełnieniu jakiegoś warunku.

Praktykujący Szkołę Klątw przeważnie nie palą się do rzucania zaklęć, robią to wtedy, gdy wymaga tego sytuacja. Traktują oni magię jak przedwieczną siłę, która daje, ale i zabiera. Nie łudzą się, że panują nad magią, co najwyżej potrafią ją ubłagać, by przyczyniła się do ich życzeń.

Na Osi Magicznej Szkoła Klątw znajduje się najbardziej po lewej stronie, na lewo od Szkoły Iluzji.

## Miejsce w społeczeństwie

Szkoła Klątw nie ma swoich uczelni i rzadko można spotkać ją w miastach. Jej ostoją jest głęboka wieś, gdzie często można znaleźć znachorki i wiedźmy, które, jeśli uznają to za stosowne, przed śmiercią przekazują swoją wiedzę następczyniom. Zazwyczaj jednak strzegą jej przed obcymi.

Klątwy są często traktowane jako zabobon, zwłaszcza w miastach. I faktycznie są tam rzadko spotykane, co najwyżej wśród napływającej z prowincji biedoty. Jednak nieco dalej od cywilizacji są one brane za pewnik i wpisują się w ludowe obyczaje, a parające się nią kobiety i mężczyźni często traktowani są jednocześnie z szacunkiem i strachem.

Negus XVII

Predecessor
 Predecessor
 Royal house

**Negus Negus Abeselome**, commonly known as **Negus XVII** (7 September 1779 - 26 December 1844), was the Emperor of Lijochia. Although not entirely successful, Negus is notable for being one of the first Lijoch Emperors to seek to strengthen relations between the Empire and the Telephan empires.

## Personal life

Throughout his reign, he was plagued by a failure to produce an heir, prompting rumours that he was biologically unable to do so. Contemporary accounts suggest that his eventual heir, Menelik IV, may even have been the result of an extra-marital affair by the Empress Consort Safia Iskinder.
Negus II

Royal house
 Religion

**Negus II** was the first modern Emperor of Lijochia and a spiritual leader in Lemilaki Maderi. He founded the House of Tesfai and is venerated as a leader who brought the Lijoch people back to God according to oral tradition.

## Lijoch Empire

In late 997, Lalikulite leader **Negus II** completed his conquest of the country's surrounding territories and established himsefl as "King of Kings" (Lijoch: የነገሥታት ንጉሥ, *Yenegešitati Niguši*). Claiming to be a direct decedent of spiritual and historic Lijoch leader Tesfai, Negus was influential in the formation of both the Lijoch identity and the Empire. While Negus is often revered in Lijoch history as a military tactician and a liberator of the Lijoch people, much of his success has been exaggerated or is somewhat revisionist. For example, many people who lived in the territory he conquered did not consider themselves Lijoch and the identity did not properly emerge for several centuries.

Nonetheless, the formation of the Empire was a significant moment in the history of Lemilaki Maderi and the wider Lijoch culture. During the early period of his rule, Negus relied mainly on fractured opposition to remain in power but over time, he came to be regarded as a unifying figure within his land. Many contemporary historians highlight the killing of Gersem Mekbib Nahum as pivotal event in Negus' rule. Gersem was a cousin of Negus and this meant he had a claim to Lalikulite throne. During his early rule, Negus was unable to move against him but at the beginning of the 11th century, the Emperor had Gersem killed as part of a series of movements to consolidate his power.

Throughout his rule, Negus attempted to solidify his rule through a form of proto-nation building. In order to earn the support
of inhabitants of freshly conquered territories, he established himself as the spiritual leader of the nation as well as its political leader. Lemilaki Maderi had existed for at least several centuries (and longer according to many of its followers even longer) prior to the rule of Negus but it was during this time that it became closely associated with the Lijoch people. Negus claimed that his unification of the Lijoch people marked the beginning of a new era and identified himself as a prophet second only to Tesfai in terms of his importance.
Lijoch people

The **Lijoch** are an ethno-religious group who primarily inhabit the Lijoch Empire and the Hethish and Sturian colonies in northwestern Martria.

## Religious beliefs

*Main article: Lemilaki Maderi*

In Hethish, these beliefs are variously referred to as the Lijoch religion, Lijochism or as "Lemilaki Maderi", a corruption of the Lijcoh term for their faith: "ለአምላክ ማደር" (*le’āmilaki maderi*) which means "Godly Devotion".

Year of four Emperors

The **year of four Emperors** refers to the year 1390 in the Lijoch Empire and a series of events which meant that four different individuals served as the Emperor of Lijochia during a single calendar year. Although the phrase initially referred to the Lijoch calendar, it applies to the currently used global calendar too.

## Events

Following the death of Tesfai XI on 14 October 1390, his infant son ascended to the throne as Negus XI. Negus was found dead by his regent within a few weeks of his ascension though, with some accusing Tesfai's brother, Gebrekristos, of murdering his nephew to allow him to ascend to the throne. In spite of this, he began to reign as Gebrekristos VI anyway. Less than two months later, Gebrekristos was found dead too and his son, Negus XII ascended to the throne. After ruling for just over two years, Negus died. Notably, this led to the rule of one of few Lijoch Empresses regnant and to the rule of a third child of Negus X.

Saradin

**Saradin** (Vosteibian: Сарадин) officially the **Saradin Governorate-General** (Vosteibian: Генерал-губернаторство Сарадин; tr. *General-gubernatorstvo Saradin*; Saradic: ولاية صرادين-جنرال; tr. *wilayat saradin-jniral*) was a colony of the Vosteibian Empire. In March, 1883 Emperor and Tsar Lubomir IV announced the formation of the Imperial Qaran State in which he was crowned as the first Caliph, ruling as Caliph Aziz I.

## History

The first recorded history of the Saradic tribes come from ancient Ierigian scholar and historian Sisenna Pullo Ripanus who wrote the *Historia de tribuum* as he studied the various tribes of "Saradin", believed to have been coined by Ripanus. Ripanus lists 5 major peoples and a dozen minor peoples spread throughout the area that he had mapped as "Saradin" which today is effectively the entire colony of Saradin. Ripanus noted that the Saradic people, as he called them, had many tribal distinctions similar to the Ierigian but in a more rudimentary form. Ripanus noted some cultural and geographical distinctions with the groups, giving rise to their relative areas of settlement in the modern era. Ripanus noted that the:

*"Badi were prevalent through the majority of society, Urhec were believed to be "mountain dwellers" and believed to be a mystic, esoteric people. The Fudesh dared the harsh deserts that they feuded over with the Sobac and Sobac tribes in the cruel desert known as the "Burned Desert".*

Overtime historians, including Saradic historians, had become less interested in tribal distinctions and became more interested in protecting themselves from foreigners and outsiders. Haamid el-Demian, an early Saradic historian noted that "...the preservation of the Saradic culture became a central tenet of the numerous tribes of Saradin." The Saradic peoples banded together and formed the "Kingdom of Saradin" prior the outbreak of a civil war in the late 1700s which tore the kingdom apart from numerous feudal-style warlords who vied for control after Grand Emir Taalib II (House of al-Kanan) died without any issue. It was shortly after that the Vosteibian Empire arrived and forced a tenuous peace with the numerous tribal and territorial warlords known as the "Treaty of Tel Ketra". Governor-General Lavr Tikhonovich Varennikov has been charged with keeping the peace in the colony which spans thousands of miles and is home to a people both divided by tribe but also united by common language, shared religion and love for their homeland.

Kiyomizu clan

The **Kiyomizu clan** (清水氏 *Kiyomizu-shi*), also referred to as the **Imperial Family** or **Imperial House of Nantou**, is a royal clan of the Emperor of Ishikoku, head of state of Nantou, and they were a powerful daimyō family in Ishikoku. They are a cadet branch of the Sanjou clan, the original Imperial Household of Ishikoku. In the feudal era, the Kiyomizu were most prominent in southern Daishu and on the islands of Shirazu and Yukijima.

Closely aligned with the Sanjou Imperial Household, the Kiyomizu had been in a long-standing feud with the Soga shogunate, which exercised all real power over the government and politics of Ishikoku. When Emperor Tōryoku abdicated without an heir in 1847, the Kiyomizu were selected to inherit the throne as shinnōke of the Imperial Family.

## Shinnōke

The seshū shinnōke (世襲親王家) is the collective name for three cadet branches of the Imperial family which are entitled to provide a successor to the throne if the Kiyomizu line failed to produce an heir. The heads of these royal clans hold the title of imperial prince (親王 shinnō), regardless of their genealogical distance from the reigning Emperor, as the term seshū in their designation meant that they were eligible for succession. Current seshū shinnōke includes the Hojo clan, Yamada clan, and a minor branch of the Sanjou clan.
Twelve Lijoch

The **Twelve Lijoch**, according to Lemilaki Maderi, are the twelve spirits sent to the world to deliver them from pain and suffering. In traditional teaching, the universe is considered eternal and not as having been created in the sense that it is in Agiosinity and other faiths. As a result, there are no creation stories relating to the origin of the planet, plants, animals and most human beings. In contrast, the Lijoch people are considered to be God's children, sent down from heaven or the sky in response to God's disappointment at the discord in the world.

Different accounts exist about whether the Lijoch were created explicitly for this purpose or whether they existed in heaven prior to their arrival on the planet. Twelve individuals were selected by God from among his community in the sky to bring peace and harmony to the planet and their leader was his own son Tesfai. The number twelve retains a special significance in Lijoch culture as a consequence. The twelve Lijoch were:

* Tesfai
* Abeselome
* Menelik
* Gebrekristos
* Negus
* Ketema
* Lakech
* Tigrigna
* Amsalech
* Safia
* Hosanna
* Metasebiya

## Names

In Lemilaki Maderi, a great emphasis is placed on oral storytelling and one important aspect of this is that the spirit of a deceased individual can be strengthened by speaking of them. Even the act of repeating someone's name can be beneficial and this has led to a common tradition of naming children after the Twelve Lijoch.

The most notable example of this can be seen in the fact that every Lijoch Emperor and Empress has been named after one of the Twelve. The numbering of Lijoch Emperors also reflects that each of the Twelves is considered the "first" of their name. For example, this means that Negus II was the first Emperor named Negus.

## Dynasties

The Twelve Lijoch's claimed direct descendents form the twelve most important noble families in the country. Each takes their name from one of the Twelve. Among them, the Tesfai dynasty is the most powerful as the Imperial family.

The **Constitution of Nantou** (*南島帝国憲法 Nantou Teikoku Kenpō*), known informally as the **Shinmei Constitution** (*神明憲法 Shinmei Kenpō*), is the constitution of Nantou that was enacted on 20 January 1848.

Nonetheless, this power has often shifted, sometimes with the Emperor exercising greater authority over governmental affairs.
Parliament of Retrania

* NP (64)

**Opposition (282)**
* NRP (114)
* RNC (106)
* PL (57)

The **Parliament of Retrania** is the national legislature of Retrania and the most important political body with law-making power. The Parliament is elected at least every five years. In situations where a motion of no confidence is passed and no suitable replacement government can be formed, elections may be held before the five year term has expired.

## Role

The role of the Retranian Parliament is fundamental to the political system of the country. The government, meaning the Prime Minister, while they may not be members of the Parliament, are responsible to the body and all legislation must be approved by Parliament before it becomes law. After a general election has been held, the President will meet with party leaders in order to understand how a government may be formed. The circumstances surrounding an election will alter the length of this process as well as the President's role. In the past, the President has simply invited the largest party to form a majority government while at other times, they have been required to act as a mediator in coalition arrangements. If the latter situation develops, it is common for the President to appoint other individuals to assist them.

## Elections

Elections to the Retranian Parliament utilise a party list system and utilise a "highest averages method" for allocating seats. If a member of Parliament resigns, is expelled, dies or retires during the term of a Parliament then the next individual on their party's list is elected in their place.
