Trenton

Situated at the mouth of the frigid **Polaris Bay**, the city of Trenton is considered by many to be the capital of the Theocracy.  It has the largest population at 50,000,000 residents, most of which work to support the massive farming territory, which spans all the way to the **Ellesmere River**.  Fallow swaths are used for heavy armor and weapons training with vehicles being shipped in from **Płock**.  The southern sector of the city contains the Theocracy’s **Sacred Ministry Of Scientific Harmony**. It is here that developments in Theocracy technology have been made, such as the discovery of the **Vostilization** process, or **Miekel’s Fire**.  The ministry can only develop technologies approved by the **Seers** however, lest they incur the wrath of the **Gods Of The Passage**. Researchers are selected from across the Theocracy by prospectors; no village or town is too small.  To be selected by the ministry to research is considered a great honor in the Theocracy, and the chosen will likely have a monument erected in their name at their home town.

Further down near the coast lies the **Swintus Naval Academy**, named after the storied **Admiral Beauregard Swintus**. Here cadets are trained to survive the harsh conditions at sea, with  the **Polaris Bay** providing a conducive arena for war games and combat exercises.  Newly minted officers and captains are most likely to be sent off to the ongoing front in the **South Harbinger Sea**, or stationed on one of the Theocracy’s numerous **Monitor Class Megaliths**.

Despite the city’s history of military developments and expansion, there are groups of citizens that campaign for peace against the **Iron Coalition**.  The most membered group is named the **Pax-Integrus Proposition**.  They believe in peaceful resistance as the ultimate act of defiance, and they preach a return to the ways of living that the **Sacred Wanderers** taught them over a thousand years ago.  While the group still believes in the **Gods Of The Passage**, the **Seers** of the faith view them as foolish at best, and heretics at worst.  It is not uncommon for more eccentric worshipers of the faith to attack and even kill members of the **Pax-Integrus Proposition**, with these crimes usually going unpunished by the **Sacred Ministry of Law**.  It is rumored however that many citizens of the Theocracy sympathize with their views but do so in silence and secret, lest the ever-present eyes and ears of the **Seers** catch wind of their whispers.

Blue Tufted Maelians

The Blue Tufted Maelian is a small salt water duck, primarily found in lowland areas across the Primus Territory. This species was first discovered by intrepid Ornithologist Brendan Cannata in Y1462 during his trek along the Aorean River. Adult males sport an iridescent blue tuft and creme-white plumage, with large black spots circling the eyes. Females generally have duller plumage with a smaller blue tuft and a light underside.

Their diet consists mainly of waterbound insects and aquatic plants such as Nascent Japonica. Most importantly they are the primary bird species that keeps the population of Dreglings in check, a fast-reproducing flying insect that often carries diseases like Kakwarts and Bloedhoes.
Dreglings

Dreglings are an airborne nuisance insect that can be found throughout the Primus Territory. They are born in and thrive in stagnant, tepid waters and feed on the blood of large mammals. They are similar in appearance to mosquitos however they are much bigger (7-9cm) and contain multiple sets of wings, which allow them faster flight and control. They emit a distinctive clicking sound at night when mating.

The nymph stage of a Dregling is markedly different as is it land-dwelling. It is smaller and contains a small mouth with sharp pincers. Bites from these insects are extremely painful as once it latches on it is difficult to remove, often requiring heat or flames to burn the creature alive.

These insects are considered dangerous due to their ability to carry diseases such as Kakwarts and Bloedhoes. Both diseases are potentially deadly if left untreated, and can become contagious between humans. A large portion of research at The Killian Institute At Lexington goes towards reducing Dregling populations as well as finding cures to their accompanying diseases.
Herafrons

The Herafrons Ibis, also known as "His Majesty's Horn" for its distinctive trumpet-like call, is a migratory species of wading bird which can be found in the warmer and wetter regions of the Primus Territory. They primarily feed on mud-dwelling animals, usually various forms of crustaceans. Its defining characteristics are a dark brown chevron pointing down its face with a white, creme-colored plumage. They can grow to a height of 4-5ft, most of which can be attributed to its long pale-gray legs. They have a wingspan of 7ft, which aids them in their long migratory patterns. Though they prefer to nest in salt-marsh environments, the Herafrons Ibis thrives through a wide range of habitats. Their most notable behavior is the way in which they hunt and forage for food: The Herafrons has developed a novel technique in which it will submerge its large beak and begin to vibrate it. These pulses reverberate through the mud, eventually attracting small invertebrates to its source. On a calm day in the marsh, one can hear the intermittent low humming of this process at work.
A.M.D.M

## Overview

Acidic Mitrium Diluted Manthanate (A.M.D.M) commonly known as Slick (tablet form), or Crunch (crystal form), is a potent recreational drug with extreme stimulant and hallucinogenic properties, primarily used in underground and elite IC party circuits. The reported pharmacological effects that substantiate its popularity include altered sensations, increased energy, sex drive, and pleasure. When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last three to six hours. Short-term adverse effects include loss of bladder control, thoughts of cannibalism, sweating and explosive, fountain-like diarrhea. Extended use can also lead to addiction, hair loss, penile deflation in men, extreme paranoia and difficulty sleeping. Deaths have been reported due to prolonged erection and dehydration. Following use, people often feel depressed and hungry for human flesh, although this effect does not appear in clinical use, suggesting that it is not a direct result of AMDM administration.
Blackrock Prison

Blackrock Prison is the last stop for countless Iron Coalition war prisoners and captures. The structure was hastily built shortly after the start of the Perennial Wars when the Pax-Viribus Theocracy found itself with a dearth of prison space from its abundance of early military victories. Its thick walls are constructed from Aegis Aggregate, which seals the fate of any prisoners planning to tunnel their way to freedom. In accordance with PVT Doctrine, the prison contains no citizens. Natives who violate the PVT dictations are ultimately either exiled or executed; there is no need for imprisonment. The population is kept at around 35,000; relatively low compared to mega-facilities such as B43-12, Stalwart Penitentiary Of His Excellency. The current warden of the prison is Keymaster Wolfram Drenthe, who was awarded the position by the clergy for his heroic actions in the 1st Battle of Bulwark.

The conditions of the prison are only so much that its captives do not die or end their own lives.  This generally means that they are chained to a **Rotation Block** 24 hours a day, and given the bare amount of food necessary to survive.  Prisoners who refuse to eat will have “meals” injected directly into their digestive system.  It is no surprise that many inmates lose their sanity within the first few months, or become hollow shells of who they once were.  Such conditions are not considered when negotiating. To date, nobody has ever successfully escaped Blackrock Prison.
Kaiser Sharks

The Kaiser Shark is a genetically mutated hyper-predator that prowls the waters of the South Harbinger Sea. Previously known as the harmless Jester Sharks before their mutation, they were exposed to harsh radioactive chemicals and substances as a result of intensive drilling and deep-sea mining by both the Iron Coalition and the Pax-Viribus Theocracy. While many of them died as a result, a small few of them survived and managed to reproduce, eventually in large numbers. Currently they have reached some sort of tolerance or equilibrium with the pollution, creating a definitive species in the process.

Measuring in at a staggering 64ft on average, Kaiser Sharks are the absolute apex predators of the sea. There are very few specimens that have been acquired, many of which happened to wash ashore during heavy storms. Their entire body is covered by a thick, slimy green blotchy skin, which is sporadically impregnated with large keratinous spikes. It has two dorsal fins in place of a single one, as well as an extra set of pectoral fins further down its torso. These extra fins provide it with superior bursts of torsion when rending and tearing its prey. There have been accounts of smaller wayward fishing vessels that have wandered too far into the open sea, and were later found to have been bitten clean in half by a hungry Kaiser Shark.

The one saving grace against this predator is that it has ultimately become to accustomed and tethered to its irradiated environment. While they can be found outside the South Harbinger Sea, they will gradually enter an extended state of torpor, swimming around lethargically until they reach their toxic homes again.

Brackenweed

As the name might suggest, Brackenweed grows best in brackish waters, preferring slightly warmer temperatures than normal. It can be found in copious amounts at the Bay Of Telluride. it is a medium-sized sea weed plant that provides ample environment and shelter for small species of fish and marine life. It also acts as a filtering agent of the surrounding waters, absorbing harmful substances and neutralizing them through internal biochemical processes.

While it has been used by humans for thousands of years as a food item and for medicinal purposes, recent efforts to commercially farm the plant have gained popularity amongst coastal towns in the Iron Coalition. Once environmental conditions have been properly dialed in, Brackenweed grows surprisingly fast, and offers a high yield compared to other domesticated plants.
Aegis Aggregate

Aegis Aggregate is a regenerative organic construction material unique to the Primus Territory. It has a consistency similar to concrete, and can be used as substitute for such. The discovery of this material can be attributed to Marine Biologist Cleric Dalton Seraphson during his deep ocean exhibitions of the South Harbinger Sea in Y4125.

Depending on the ratio and mixture, damaged walls of Aegis Aggregate-impregnated structures can regenerate completely in under an hour as long as there is a skeletal structure to guide the process. Scientists have identified that its regenerative properties are thanks to a unique bacteria whose bi-product excretion is an extremely hardened calcite-like substance. The only way to completely destroy a structure made of Aegis Aggregate is to completely remove the skeletal substructure, which is particularly difficult to do as the surrounding concrete is after all, constantly regenerating. This ironically leads to interesting scenarios when trying to make routine maintenance or renovations on public structures. Developers must be careful when they decide to use this super-material as not only is it difficult to work with, but it is difficult to grow and cultivate the necessary precursors which thus makes it cost-prohibitive.
Fort Derringer

Fort Derringer is a heavily fortified defensive position situated on the western tip of **Walcott’s Island**, next to the **B43-12, Stalwart Penitentiary Of His Excellency**.  The fort was built shortly after the start of the **Perennial Wars**, as the coalition sought to protect its assets in the **Bay of Telluride** and provide safe grounds for the wartime production of weapons and battleships. With **Uranite**-reinforced concrete 12 meters thick in some places,  A garrison of roughly 150,000 personnel is stationed here to keep the position operational.  The fort is bristling with dozens of anti-aircraft gun batteries equipped with quad **McManus 120mm Area-Denial Flak Cannon**s. These are generally loaded with **Cerberus Rounds**: high velocity shells containing hundreds of small warheads, each with a Tungsten core placed in front of an **Activated Cinderite** payload.  These are ideal munitions for punching through thick titanium armor and vaporizing an aircraft’s internals.  On the sea-facing side bunker of the fort there are 21 mounted **Latimer Mk III Electromagnetic Railgun**s, independently enhanced with **MacLeod Seastar*™* Auto-Tracking Module**s.  The immense power draw of these emplacements necessitates the fort’s own **Cinderite-Fusion Reactor.**   Firing solid **Uranite** sabots at speeds of up to mach 24, Latimer guns are specifically designed to engage and disable heavily armored watercraft at an effective range of 200 nautical miles and a max range up to four times as much.  Vessels without proper defensive capabilities will be quickly disabled if not sunk outright.  The guns are also used for natural threats against the island such as **Kaiser Shark** and **Terrorclaw** attacks.
Yellow Regent

Yellow Regent is a medium-sized flower with large yellowish green pentagonal petals that have a thin royal blue stripe down the middle. They mostly grow in the warmer months, however it is possible to farm them year round when proper hydroponic techniques are used.

The plant has been used as a medicinal herb in the Primus Territory for thousands of years. It contains strong analgesic and healing properties and when coupled with other substances such as Tiamat, it can turn PVT troops into frightening foes that simply ignore pain and fatigue. The standard method of delivery is to soak a bandage in a serum, packing and wrapping tightly around the wounded area. Ingestion should be avoided as it produces long-term numbing of the throat and lungs, causing loss of breathing sensation which can cause panic and anxiety. The petals can also be ground into a potent yellowish dye for textiles and other materials. It is in fact used as one of the colors for the Pax-Viribus Theocracy Battle Standard.
12mm Jaeger Munition

## Overview

The 12mm Jaeger Munition is a now-retired caliber that was developed in the early Y2750's by Brownstark Firearms, Co. primarily as a high-caliber big game hunting round. Its impressive stopping power and terminal ballistics made a fitting choice for apex game such as Yodelorgs and Crested Titanhogs. Despite its power, its heavy weight and poor ability to cross over into an automatic platform resulted in its limited use for military applications. Today it is all but forgotten, in favor of more practical munitions such as 10 x 56mm IOD.

### History

In the early Y2670's, the Thulian military adopted the Daxite-charged 8mm Jagter cartridge (72J8S). The Y2674 version of that cartridge used a Grade 2 Eladium alloy flathead projectile. Around Y2681, the TDO(Thulian Department of Ordinance) started developing an experimental higher pressure 12mm cartridge for a Marion-style action with a box magazine. That led to the 81JM12R service round that used a larger round-nose bullet than the 8mm Jagter while still maintaining similar velocity and terminal ballistics.

As war technologies continued to evolve through the late Y2000's Many provincial militaries were adopting lighter-weight, higher velocity service rounds that were purpose-built for their rifles. The importance of penetration outstripped the importance of stopping power, and rounds like 12mm Jaeger fell out of favor.
Ützgrad

Ützgrad Is a massive farming town located on the **Arsenault River**, an offshoot of the **Aorean River.** They are the coalition’s largest supplier of **Leavenmeal**, and the second largest supplier of fresh **Boar-Bass**.  In older times Ützgrad (Then called **Pratus Rai**) was considered the region’s capital due to its abundant natural resources and strategically advantageous location.  However with the invention of **Mass-Reconciliation Technology** (MRT), naval logistics and supply chains, while still less costly than MRT, slowly became obsolete.  This struck a blow to the town’s economy, which is only now beginning to recover and thoroughly modernize its distribution practices.
Perennial Wars

The Perennial Wars refer to the long and drawn out series of conflicts (still continuing to this day) starting approximately 80 years after the exile of the growing sect of Pax-Viribus Theocracy loyalists from the Primus Territory. Pressure from Iron House delegates to assimilate the cultural elements of society turned into an empire-wide genocide and resulted in the mass internment, execution and ultimately exile of prominent PVT figureheads and loyalists into the the Synovian Desert. Faced with political execution or the hardships of the elements, members of the PVT chose the latter and ventured out into the harsh desert terrain to forge a new life for themselves. After learning the secrets taught to them by the Sacred Wanderers, the rejuvenated PVT peoples quickly spread across the eastern lands, creating city after city. Within but a few generations the PVT managed to create an economy as well as an army that could challenge the coalition's Iron grip over the land. In their hubris the Iron Coalition ignored early reports of bustling PVT towns and nascent militias forming across the Harbinger sea. It was not until an entire Coalition fleet was decimated at the First Battle of Saltstraumen that they truly saw the PVT as a serious threat. From that point on there has been various levels of conflict throughout the territory, much of which being focused around locales such as Bulwark, Ziggurat, Walcott's Island, and various parts of the Gulf of Kemet.

The conflict has spanned multiple generations and through multiple arcs of technology, most notably the invention/discovery of Cinderite and cinderite-based techonlogies and munitions. Such technologies allowed for the possibility of prolonged and sustained battlefronts as well as the opening of new/unconventional theaters of war.
Płock

Although the city of Płock is relatively small, its contributions to the Theocracy are many.  Inside the walls of massive factories, its citizens toil in the smog and haze, creating great machines of war.  Massive cranes and pulleys suspend thick slabs of **Dynasteel**, which are then welded together to form the city’s famous tanks and heavy armor.  It is here that the **Vicar-23** , the Theocracy’s flagship main battle tanks, are forged and assembled.  These machines will then be shipped to the fielding grounds at **Trenton**, where crews will be drilled and trained on their operation and tactical utility.  For more uneven or mountainous terrains the Płock factories produce the **KBM-27 Warlock**, a bipedal battlemech, equipped with mounted armaments varying from railguns to energy or plasma based weaponry.

While much of the city’s workforce is put into its famous factories and forges, Płock also has a rich culture of meat produce and hunting.  For the men of the city it is a favored recreation to venture into the **Minamuck Forest** for the weekend with a hunting party, tracking wild **Belloa** or **Minkus**.  However, those that do so must be weary of enraged **Dryles**, semi-intelligent humanoid creatures of immense strength who reside in secretive subterranean colonies deep in the forest.

Coming back with the spoils of their efforts, the women of the families will turn the pelts into beautiful **Piękny Garments** that are usually worn by Theocracy officers, and sometimes even find their way into obscure markets throughout the **Iron Coalition**.  Not only are they fashionable, they offer a surprising amount of protection for how thin they are, warding off stabs and even small caliber ammunition.  The meat from the hunt will then be processed into military rations, or doled out to the public by way of the **Ministry of Sacred Distribution**.
Walcott’s Island

Walcott's Island is a relatively large, rocky Island situated in the middle of the Bay Of Telluride, at the edge of the Cartesian Channel. The island is of particular historical significance as it served as a primary economic hub during the early days of the colonization of the Primus Territory. Not only was the island a large center for the processing of Telluridian Pearls, the main factory at the time for processing various textiles is located there. The factory was later converted to a weapons and ordinance factory after the start of the Perennial Wars. Currently the island functions as a first line of defense of the area, and contains a massive garrison of troops and ordinance stationed at Fort Derringer.
RHOD-66 Battlemaster

The Pax-Viribus Theocracy are masters of shipbuilding, and the RHOD(Rear Headquarters Offensive & Defensive)-66 Battlemaster is no exception. More like a small floating island than a battleship, a crew of over 10,000 maintains all of the ship's functions and processes. The hull is constructed from a phalanx of thick Dynasteel Plating, protected by a Sodius-Electron Active Protection System. The largest weapon systems are located on the ship's bow: four massive Magnus Cannons as well as a suite of Honor-32 Missile Racks (also known as Dawn's Doorstep) can eliminate all but the hardest of targets the IC has to offer.

While extremely slow at a max speed of 3 km/h, Once a Battlemaster has advanced to a position, there is little that can be done to take it back. In fact they are virtually unsinkable, as each ship contains massive extendable pillar-like anchors that drop and slam into the sea floor so as to create a rock solid platform with which to conduct sea operations from. Only one Battlemaster has ever been recorded as destroyed, during the Second Battle of Saltstraumen.

As one can imagine, these mammoth vessels are extremely costly in time and resources to manufacture and deploy. Each vessel take about 12 years to become fully operational, and losing one is a devastating blow to the PVT's navy. For this reason they very rarely engage in any sort of direct combat, and are generally used in support or logistical operations. Groups of small units such as the Jakkal-7 or the QRLA-RooiKat aircraft will use the Battlemaster as a base of operations when conducting sorties in the South Harbinger Sea and the Gulf Of Kemet.
Prison Gangs

Gangs and organized crime, while attenuated to some degree, pervade the prisons and streets of the Iron Coalition. Much of their activity centers around the peddling of party drugs such as Sun Sugar, A.M.D.M, and a new deadly substance called Python. A number of large groups such as The Sons of Marloth, the 22nd Valkyrie, and the Cape Miner's Union all have extensive distribution and surveillance networks in their respective areas. Many of these gangs and syndicates have a prison presence, where brutal fights are known to break out with unsettling regularity. The most violent breakouts occur at prison B43-12, Stalwart Penitentiary Of His Excellency.

Of course, there exists an incestuous relationship between elite members of the coalition's major government institutions and the more affluent organizations. High profile crime like the trafficking of Mass Reconciliation Drives and Pearl-Class Organic Weapons could pose existential threats to the Coalition and their sovereignty.
Rapier Sturgeon

As its name implies, the Rapier Sturgeon is a fast, slender, deadly fish. While relatively small compared to other sturgeon, it compensates with a lightning fast speed of 82mph. This speed coupled with its razor-sharp bony protrusion on its face means the Rapier Sturgeon can crack the shell of even a Bunker Crab, which they are known to eat on a regular basis.

While their eyesight is very poor they possess superior olfactory senses as well as clusters of electro-receptors located on top of their dorsal fin. These clusters intercept the low-level electrical fields generated by other creatures and other geo-electric sources. With this combination of sensory systems they can pierce their prey with deadly accuracy.

They primarily reside in the South Harbinger Sea and adjacent waters, however their numbers have been ravaged due to the ecological destruction wrought by the start of the Perennial Wars and the battling over valuable sea-floor mineral deposits.
Tawney Islands

The Tawney Islands were originally uninhabitable due to a species of hostile birds called Rainbow Rippers that populated the area. However in Y1475 Ornithologist Brendan Cannata managed to somewhat domesticate them through a process of progressively splicing their DNA with the genetically similar but more docile Grey Josephine. The island gets its namesake from the beautiful bushes of Speckled Bells (nicknamed Bellas) that decorate the landscape. These turn a subtle yellowish-gold when bleached by the sun during the summer months, and give the island its characteristic color when viewed from afar.

Of course there any many beach houses that are frequented by the more affluent citizens of the Iron Coalition. However during times of war the island acts as a makeshift resupply port for vessels headed to and from operations in the Gulf Of Kemet and in the South Harbinger Sea.
Telluridian Boar-Bass

Telluridian Boar-Bass (nicknamed 'Tellie Hogs) are a unique species of Boar-Bass found in and around the Bay of Telluride. It is a bony fish whose identifying characteristics are its generally large size, forward facing tusks and bony protrusions on its face. Telluridian Boar-Bass are unique from other Boar-Bass in that they are much more aggressive as well as yield more meat. This makes for high stakes fishing, as the potential yield must be weighed with the danger of dealing with such fish. Stories of local fisherman being impaled by a wayward " 'Tellie Hog" tusk are not uncommon.
Primus Territory

The Primus Territory refers to the entire breadth of the geology of the Cindershore universe. the area exists on the southwestern edge of the continent of Longinus Maximus. It is of particular importance due to its material wealth and strategic value. Anthropologists believe humans first settled the area around 13,000 years ago, forming small nomadic settlements along the area's abundant rivers and deltas. There have been various periods of global cooling and warming over the millennia that have driven human civilization from the region. After the end of the most recent ice age approximately 6,400 years ago, a robust group of peoples dubbed the Jennanites settled the area currently known as the Synovian Desert. The area however was lush and green at the time of settlement, as evidenced by soil and sediment analysis, as well as the discovery of early agricultural implements. It is believed that modern day Jennanites still inhabit this area, and have learned how to subsist in their original homeland, which is now inhospitable to all but the most hardy of lifeforms.

Modern settlements of the territory only occurred approximately 2,400 years later with the arrival of the Havanites. These were a robust group of agricultural workers that tamed the area's local flora and fauna, creating an empire that would eventually lead to the regime and events of the Iron Coalition.
Polaris Bay

Polaris Bay is a large inlet that serves as the primary center of commerce and military operations for the Pax-Viribus Theocracy. the approximately 2400 miles of coastline offer ample space for ports and docks, which is the primary reason the PVT generally has more naval mobility compared to the Iron Coalition. The bay was discovered and charted during the period of great Havanite exploration in the early to mid 1,500's. Captain Lothair Koblenz and a fleet of Havanite ships managed to circumnavigate the South Harbinger Sea over a period of two months and eight days, using (for the time) advanced navigation equipment acquired from the Kingdom Of Velocitus. The bay gets namesake from the beloved hound of the captain, who sadly passed away of disease shortly before arrival. Cadets studying at the Swintus Naval Academy in the city of Black Rock make a pilgrimage to Polaris Rock upon graduation, completing their initiation as officers in the Ministry's Holy Navy. The unassuming rock is said to be the site where Koblenz and his expedition first touched land nearly 3,000 years ago.
Oakwit

Oakwit is a medium sized town focused on logging and textile synthesis.  The town is situated next to the man-made **Valgren Forest**, which amongst other vegetation contains the largest concentration of **Lothian’s Topiary** trees in the region.  The nanotube fibers harvested from these trees are immensely strong with a high tensile coefficient.  The relatively low cost of production means that these fibers are used in everything from common clothes and cloth to **high-impact composite ballistic armor**s.  Oakwit also maintains a fair sized academic and technology sector, with many of the coalition’s science scholars having worked or studied there.  It is home to **Faraday Academy**, the coalition’s most prestigious university.  It was named after Researcher **Kelly Faraday**, whose team invented the first engine to successfully use **Mass-Reconciliation Technology**.
Borgman Coast

The Borgman coast lies near the northern boundary of the Primus Territory, and is characterized by windswept crags, rocky outcroppings and tufts of hardy beach grasses. In earlier times it showed promise as a possible port area for trade between Havanite settlers in the area and merchants from the Kingdom Of Velocitus, but the ground proved to be too unstable and the seas to rough to justify any development. It is currently home to a few dredging facilities that look for Gellar-Sulfites in and around the O'Boyle Swamp. Some citizens still occasionally visit the area, paying homage to the place where their ancestors once lived. It is home to a unique bird, the Large-Breasted Tan Roller, known to be found only in this region.
Nascent Japonica

Nascent Japonica is an aquatic herb that grows best in more temperate climates and steady waters. While it buds a delicate purple-white frock of flowers, its leaves and stem are very hardy and are commonly used as substitutes for cabbages and pickled shoots, respectively. Its prefix is "Nascent" due to its ability to revert to its polyp (nascent) stage at the end of its lifecycle, experiencing eternal rebirth. Large populations of Nascent Japonica can be found in the mangroves dotting the Bay of Telluride, and in the quite off-shoot ponds found along the Presby River.

The Japonica's flower has been historically used for many medicinal uses. It has been used in teas to promote digestion and treat constipation and other ailments of the gut. In a more active role, concentrated Japonica extract can be dropped into the eyes to produce an intense increase in visual acuity. This powerful astringent has been used by precision artisans and workers for thousands of years, as well as many Havanite marksmen and snipers. It cannot be used without cost though, as repeated use can damage the eye's muscles and cause heavy vision loss for a long while after.
Ornithologist Brendan Cannata

Brendan Cannata (Y1416-Y1502) was a Havanite Ornithologist and behavioral scientist during the Samnathian Dynasty (Y1065-Y1617). He is widely regarded as the most influential ornithologist in the world, for his numerous discoveries and groundbreaking theories. His most notable works was his experiments with Rainbow Rippers, a hostile species of birds native to the Tawney Islands in which he was able to pacify through a technique of progressive genetic modification. He has also made other species discoveries while exploring the Primus Territory such as the Blue Tufted Maelian.
Napier

Napier started out as a guard post/barracks that quickly grew due to its choice location.  It was intended to act as an outpost for the then state’s capitol **Messiah** (Then called **NaMonne**). Residents found that there was an abundance of **Boar-Bass** in the nearby **Presby River**, a boon which greatly contributed to Napier’s rise to prominence.  As wharfs and fishing farms popped up, Napier’s wealth and population grew.  Today, Napier is the Coalition’s premier supplier of **Boar-Bass**, a staple commodity across the region.  There is also a moderate mining sector in the town, primarily serviced by the contractor **Ruairc Excavation Services, LLC..** Workers primarily mine **Vanadium**, **Osmium**, as well as **Cinderite** at select locations in the **Bostrom Peaks** as well as the **Devanean Alps**.  It has been alleged that Ruairc and other companies may be using slave labor to improve their profit margins, however it is unknown whether this is true or corporate sabotage between competing businesses.

The town still shows signs of its military roots: the residents are a hardy and self-reliant people  and it is the only city in the Coalition that maintains a strong local-run standing army (around 100,000 troops), functioning as a quasi city-state.
Shipmaster Eldwin Telluride

Shipmaster Eldwin Telluride (Y2576-Y2660) was a First Class Captain in the Thulian Navy, first joining as Shipmate Initiate in Y2595. The crowning achievement of his career was the defeat of Magnus Garriksson and his army of Raskolian Raiders at the Battle of Ayerland Hill, and the subsequent founding of the bayside town of Hapsburg. After his retirement, Telluride served as the Chosen Administrar for Hapsburg until his death in Y2660. His naval background heavily influenced the town, propelling it to become the most affluent location in the Thulian Empire until its collapse in Y2722.
Sea Ballasts

Sea Ballasts, while relatively harmless, can cause havoc for ships trying to navigate the turbulent waters of the Primus Territory. These golem-like creatures can be found anywhere, but primarily reside just outside the Bay of Telluride. Researchers believe they a more mobile form of coral reef, feeding on clouds of plankton where it can find them. While relatively slow, Sea Ballasts can move up to a mile a day, if motivated. They have an innate sense of local plankton density, and will move to richer areas if required.

The danger of these creatures occurs when they wander into high-traffic areas in search of food. Vessels not paying attention to updated nautical charts or their navigation equipment are in danger of gashing their hull on the crags of a wayward Sea Ballast. One may think that these slow-moving hulks could be moved, but such an option would be a far cry as the average-sized sea ballast weighs close to 200 tons.
Razorjack

The Razorjack is a sleek Bonito fish that travel in small schools of 20 or less. They have a characteristic iridescent, bony scale over their entire body; males sport a singular, extremely sharp dorsal fin used in fighting other males during mating seasons. Unfortunately in recent years this particular feature has caused them to be overfished as it has become a fashionable accessory in high-end Iron Coalition couture. It serves a critical role in the area's ecosystem as it preys on smaller fish such as Blue Galies and Sathanams, keeping their respective populations in check.
Telluridian Pearls

Telluridian Pearls are a unique phenomenon found in various species of bivalves living in the Bay of Telluride. They are defined by an iridescent sapphire outer hue as well as a dull yellowish-green luminescence. Specimen dissections show that the luminescence comes from small irritants of Tritium, which entered the bay area by way of an asteroid during a superbolide impact event towards the end of the Kaolithic Period (26 million years ago). This phenomenon is exceedingly rare, and most specimens are kept at museums or universities for study. A small sliver however are traded on the the fashion market, where only the most affluent of the Iron Coalition spend the income equivalent of small cities for a chance to own one.

Terrorclaws

An encounter with a Terrorclaw is an absolute nightmare scenario for any mariner, no matter their level of experience. They are most closely related to crustaceans, but researchers find that each one behaves more as a colony than an individual organism. Being a conglomerate of smaller organisms, there has been no defined limit to how large a Terrorclaw can get. It was believed that like the Kaiser Shark, the Terrorclaw was a bi-product of human pollution and activity in the South Harbinger Sea, but there have been accounts and sightings prior to these events. Smaller Terrorclaws (50ft in diameter and below) will resemble something of a massive lobster-like creature, with a deep, midnight-blue hue. Like its name implies, it has an enormous pincer claw, the subject of terror for many a sailor.

The largest Terrorclaw (Cancrius Rex) ever recorded was in Y3156, being 126.5 miles at its longest point. At this stage the Terrorclaw has reached its "Island Eating" phase, where it will induce local but intense tremors, causing episodes of rapid liquefaction in nearby islands. It will then proceed to "eat" the island by consuming the soil (and everything on it) to filter it for nutrients and other beneficial substances. This particular Terrorclaw singlehandedly removed a slew of coastal islands from the map of the Primus Territory before it was stopped in Y3159. Johannes Altig, General of the Collingian Coastal Defense Force, ordered 1.15 million barrels of a cinderite-laced sulfite solution to be dumped onto the coast so as to surround the beast. this deluge of material was then ignited, immolating the entire coast and starving the Terrorclaw of its food supply. To this day the area has never fully recovered from the devastation, and this 16,000 sq mi area is now known as O'Boyle Swamp.
The Havanites

The Havanites were a large group of pilgrim peoples that settled and explored the Primus Territory around 4,000 years ago. It is generally assumed that most if not all modern-day persons living in the territory can be traced in part back to this singular group. It is not well known whether the group was pushed into the region by some driving force, whether by inter-tribal warfare or natural disaster related reasons, or there were simply "greener pastures".

Anthropologists generally agree that the first Havanite settlement was at or near the present-day city of Messiah, around Y34. At the time the settlement was believed to have been called NaMonne, roughly translating to "City By The Mountains". The first ruler was King Roti, ruling from Y34-Y76. He was only 17 at the time, and required a large cabinet of functionaries at his disposal.
Wian's Wrath

The birth of the Iron Coalition was a time that was rife with blood and corruption. The collapse of the Collingian Empire created an immense power vacuum, with petty warlords springing up seemingly overnight to take their shot at ruling the land. For decades, battle lines between territories had been pushed back and forth, kings and generals executed, and countless men perished. In Y3584, Berach Corsair, the leader of the nascent Iron Federation at the time, managed to out a small but sturdy holding in the regions of Lexington and Hapsburg. His trusted General-At-Arms, Wian DieGetrou, managed to commandeer a Collingian stockpile of weaponry at the Lexington Garrison, supplying them with superior weaponry, and the means to hold their gains. Slowly but surely, year by year, the power of the Coalition grew, and so did its appeal. By Y3594 The nation reached a critical mass, and soon citizens began to flood in from across the land, clamoring to be a part of this newfound regional stability.
Hidden Lake

**Room ID** | N/A

The **Hidden Lake** is a subterranean lake in Waddle Lounge. It's open out to the sea, and a variety of sunken treasure are drifting here from underwater. Waterfalls flow here into the sea from underground reservoirs. An underwater door here leads to the seafloor, but the door can only be opened with the key, that the player can get from playing a specific level of Puffle Rescue.

Raskolian Raiders

From what can be gleaned of scant records and accounts, the Raskolian Raiders were a group of nomadic warriors that arrived in the Primus Territory at some point before the settling of the Havanites over 4,000 years ago. Members of the Killian Institute at Lexington have conducted archaeological investigations at locales like the Adoban Peaks and O'Boyle Swamp, finding convincing evidence of early Raskolian activity. Early days of Havanite history show numerous clashes between their small settlements and roving Raskolian warbands. This activity reached its peak at some point around Y2100-Y2150; that is not to say that raids ceased following that period. Isolated Raskolian tribes have been found as recently as Y3562, many years after the defeat of their latest leader Magnus Gariksson.

While the bulk of documentation describes conflicts between Havanite and Raskolian forces, very little is known about Raskolian culture and society. Due to their nomadic nature as well as their superior knowledge of stealth and enviromental navigation, very few outsiders have ever seen the grounds of a Raskolian community. It has been tentatively agreed that the average size of a Raskolian tribe numbers about 200-300. All of the tribe's men look to be fit for combat, whereas the women seemed to focus on various professions related to homesteading. There is also mounting evidence that various fauna were domesticated and used not only for societal purposes but combat as well. It has been noted that Viper Swifts, a predatory bird not indigenous to the Primus Territory, seemed to arrive around the suspected arrival time of the Raskolian Raiders and mirrored the raiders' nomadic patterns. There also a number combat accounts of large, blue humanoid beasts fighting alongside the raiders. It is not known if this is a distinct species separate from Homo Sapiens, or some sort of ritual augmentation process of a human being.

One recorded account of a Raskolian man rejected from his tribe provides a detailed look at daily life in a Raskolian society:

"I've been stricken from my kin. I was but a whelp, surpassed by my own brother, and my dulled spear could not pierce the chest of the Blue Ogre. My mother spat in my eye, and tore my beard from my face. I wear these burns of soot in shame. They are a sign for any kin that look upon me to offer but fists and rage. I stand before you now, foul pygmies, men who scurry and hurry for any shred but a shred of honor. Do what thou wilt. Take what thou wilt. For I have nothing left to give."
New Hastings

Situated at the end of the **Fleuve Bastogne**, New Hastings is the sister city of **Black Rock**.  Both cities have been strong allies for many years. Having a primarily  logging and forestry driven economy, it was easy for New Hastings to send supplies down the river to be processed.

Much like **Walgren Forest** in the west, the workers of New Hastings have taken to modifying the great spruces of **Minamuck Forest**.  While the climate is not suitable for **Vostilization**, tree farmers maintain artificial groves of **Ayturian Mosswood**, a critical export for the Theocracy.  It has also long been a primary goal of the Theocracy to steal the gene data for **Lothian’s Topiary**, the Coalition’s genetically modified tree that produces immensely strong and tough Nanocarbon Strands.  If they succeed, it would eliminate a huge technological advantage for the Coalition and its forces.

The town gets its namesake from the old **Havanite** town of **Hastings**, which housed the seat of parliament in the **Old Kingdom Of Lucieric**. Like its predecessor, the city houses the Theocracy’s parliament, however its decisions and decrees generally take a back seat to the will of the **Seers**.  Even so, the **Seers** know a state cannot function without a government.  Despite being the seat of politics and legislation for the Theocracy the citizens are a highly spiritual people.  Many if not all residential units have some sort of shrine to their preferred deity, which is usually **Salamar** or **Channa**. When not worshiping at home, citizens will opt for one of the many beautiful and ornate temples situated across the city.
