The Empire of Windmir

"Glory and Honour, Long live the Empire!"

## **The Declaration of Independence**

### The Declaration of Independence and Union with Vinhmoc

Sdf, now having secured riches and weapons for his town went to negotiate with nearby mayor, Tyler, of Vinhmoc. They discussed the future of their towns and disillusionment with their current respective nations and agreed that once they had both left the war and payed off their respective debts to their nation leaders they would unite their towns and form the *Empire of Windmir* with Sdf as Emperor and Tyler as Prime Minister.

## **Expansion and the addition of new Towns**

### The Foundation of Stowark

Long before the Empire began, Sdf, the future Emperor, arrived in this world travelling in from the seas to the South West to what is now the Stowark bay. He met the Duke Hythus who offered him supplies and money in this new land which he graciously accepted. Hythus told him of dangers in this world - that it had aggressive nations such as the "United Ape Emirates" (An Ironic statement considering that the people of Stowark would later become mercenaries and work alongside the Apes) which could threaten the independence of Stowark. Stowark was then established by the coast and became a colony of the Grand Valinian Duchy.

### The addition of Numevol to the Empire

Soon after the birth of the Empire, Numevol (A name that derives from the God: Nume and 'vol' which means town in the local dialect of Numevol), a town to the South-west of Stowark, would join the Empire, this took place on the 25th of September after the leader of Numevol, Gala\_Boom was contacted by a God he calls 'Nume', who told him that joining The Empire Of Windmir was a good decision. He reached out to soon-to-be Emperor Sdf to ask him whether or not he would be allowed to join Windmir, confessing that he had been contacted by 'Nume' and told to join. The soon-to-be-Emperor agreed with the decision and allowed Numevol into the nation. They would later go onto to claim most of the South-Western peninsula of the Bay of Windmir.

### The Birth of Veryll and Rising Tensions with the Northern Isles

On the 28th of September, the town of Veryll was created by the former citizen of Stowark, Osh. The formation of this town would lead to a large conflict between 2 of the world's most powerful nations; the Northern Isles and the Empire of Windmir. This conflict was caused by an outpost preventing the expansion of Veryll, the outpost belonged to Mooncross, a town in the Northern Isles. This led to multiple deals being thrown back and forth between Conaco (the leader of Mooncross), Sdf and Osh. After no deal was reached, the Windmirians decided that they would have to use force. They gave a public ultimatum to the Northern Isles, in which they claimed that, if the outpost would not be removed, they would have to use force. Conaco immediately agreed to remove the Outpost, however (after some backing from the Northern Isles) he revoked this response and instead claimed that the outpost would likely go to Veryll, however 'an official response would be posted in the next few days.' After further communication between both sides (only hours before the Windmirians would declare war), both sides came to an agreement. Mooncross removed the outpost in return for something. This ended the tensions and in the end, this event heavily damaged Windmirian-Northern relations.

## Official Religions;

There are two currently worshipped religions in Windmir;

### Voidism

Voidism, a religion in which the one with absolute power over the universe is the Void. The trident that the Emperor calls Zee'Keel is the vessel of the void, telling the Emperor what the best course of action in most situations is. Zee'Keel was discovered in the same place that the Imperial coronation was hosted. In the middle of the ocean, there is a place that has a barrier stopping the flow of water and below it is a room like no other. Nothing but the Void lays below. Many people, despite having seen the Void, do not get contacted by it, like Sdf, this leads many to question whether or not Zee'Keel is actually the Void's vessel or if Sdf has just gone crazy. Real or not, it is safe to say that Zee'Keel will continue to influence the Emperor for a long time to come.

### The Cult of Nume

The Cult of Nume is a religion that is worshipped primarily by the people who live in the town of Numevol. The first contact between Nume and Gala\_Boom took place in late September (it is unclear the exact date which this took place), in this contact Nume had no physical form but instead contacted Gala using nothing but a voice. Nume told Gala the location that he should create his town (The south-western Peninsula of the Bay of Windmir), Nume would later go on to tell Gala that 'the soil and stone of Windmir's land shall bear home to the holy town of Nume', this led to Gala\_Boom seeking refuge for his town within the nation of Windmir.

## **Maps**

This is the official Royal map of Windmir as of the 4th of October 2021. It consists of all three towns that were a part of Windmir as of the map's creation; Stowark, Numevol and Veryll. It also shows a fairly accurate representation of what each of the towns claims, Stowark being the capital recieves the largest claims. It also shows the sea zones that Windmir has complete control over, the Bay of Windmir and the

## **Participation in Conflicts**

### Participation in the Netherite War

Sdf and his Chief Advisor and guard, Osh, being respected warriors in their land at the insistence of their Duke, Tartarus, joined the war on the side of the Apes for a large sum of money. They then joined the Apes in the siege of the Vault and Port Proton of which they later won - likely due to the contribution of the mercenaries who aided the Apes tremendously. The mercenaries then, after the main battle was won, commenced multiple raids against Imperium and Northern Isle towns killing few but securing more sets of gear and greatly angering the Coalition forces. Sdf was later ambushed at Stowark by two coalition fighters and nearly killed one of them before Osh arrived and the ambushers ran away. They further participated in the defence of Apelandia scoring many kills during the battle and earning a collective most kills during the entire war. Goldoguy later payed them 32 netherite ingots and 50k to make the mercenaries leave the war.
