## History

### Discovery

very little is known about the Gou'rhon kingdoms before the rest of the world discovered them. they were discovered when Inquisitor robert steinsen did a planetary scan and discovered something living in a volcano. an expedition was lead to the volcano, and it was discovered to be the capital city of the Gou'rhon kingdom. this was the first interaction between the Gou'rhon and the rest of the world. it was, by all accounts, a good first impression. it also led to the assigning of Daruk as ambassador to the people of [redacted]

### The great payment

when governor Penguin demanded the payment of taxes the Gou'rhon supposedly owed, 50'000 years of them or so, the Gou'rhon ambassador promised to pay it by the end of the day. much to the shock and awe of Penguin, the entirety of the taxes in gold and platinum was delivered to him before the end of the day.

### The creation of the planetary shields

the Gou'rhon, in alliance with clarice, and under orders from Nobolo, the chief engineer of the Gou'rhon kingdom, created the shields that protect the planet from planetary bombardment in exchange for weapons. they consider this a truly great achievement

### The refugee crisis

during one of Penguins schemes, he attempted to kidnap refugees under the protection of king Darunia. he dispatched Daruk and several Gou'rhon ruby guard to stop the trucks transporting the kidnapped refugees. during this crisis, Daruk and the generals of the kingdom cried for war against Penguin for his actions, but Darunia did not go to war.

### The hunt incident

when Penguin declared a hunt against the tau of a certain mountain, Darunia called an army to defend the mountain, as it was, unknown to penguin, a Gou'rhon city. a massive army, led by Darunia himself, encircled the mountain, promising to not let a single hunter into the city. the hunt was called off before their oath became action.

### The Decepticon war.

in the war against the Decepticons, the Gou'rhon held out in their cities, constantly battling the Decepticons in a long siege. the battle was fierce, and many Gou'rhon died in the conflict. due to the siege being thorough, the Gou'rhon were unable to provide aid to the other members of the planet, despite many attempts. during the last days of the war, the Gou'rhon were able to break through the siege and rout the Decepticons in a massive bombardment followed by a charge. before the Gou'rhon could assist in the rest of the war, however, the Decepticons retreated from the planet.

### The war of darkness

in the war against ganon, the gou'rhon fought hard and long, eventually finding out the location of the blade of evils bane. not much happened, the war only being 2 days long

### The boycott of the steel republic

due to tensions, the gou'rhon ceased all trade with the steel republic. the kingdom thought that war was on the way. they were correct, and eventually declared war. the gou'rhon did minor amounts of fighting during the landings, as they were attacked by paratroopers. during the battle of londinium, they were the main cause of the steel republic being driven from the city, and helped end the war in peace

### The war against chaos

during the chaos assault on underbright, the gou'rhon arrived in the middle of the conflict. they brought their armies, and attacked the daemons. they won their section of the battle, and helped rebuild underbright.

### Swearing fealty

The gou'rhon have sworn fealty to katherine and subterranus, taking them out of penguins rule

## Organization

the Gou'rhon kingdom is organized in levels. each city has a mayor, who functions as a king of that city. all mayors rule for life, and when they die, a new mayor is elected. the mayors report to the king, who is also the mayor of the capital city. every city also has a guardian, whos job is to protect the city from threats. the chief protector is the leader of the guardians, and is decided in a series of fights between them every ten years. the current chief protector is Daruk, guardian of the capital. there are also the generals, who lead the military and report to the king.

## Military

the Gou'rhon military is a large, if somewhat unadvanced and outdated, force. the army mostly consists of heavy infantry capable of both ranged and melee combat. the standard ranged weapon is basically a lascannon, wielded like a rifle. they also bring weapons that fire beams of plasma and heavy bolters. the main melee weapon is the rock crusher, a large, one or two handed blunt sword/hammer, designed to cut through things via pure force. the Gou'rhon make use of large amounts of artillery, either stationary or pulled into battle. they ride dodongos, which are lizards that can breath fire, as cavlary or as something to pull chariots. they also have the divine beasts, lizard-like titans with large plasma beams in the face, and artillery batteries on the back. however, recently they have been attempting to modernize. they have started producing tanks in the form of the d1 m3 volvagia, the d2 m2 lynel and the d3 m1 talus. they have also developed gyrocopters in the d1 m2 skywatcher and the d2 m1 armos. they have also started small scale production of power armor. they have made six modern naval ships, two battleships, two aircraft carriers and two destroyers.
