Union Rail

Coat of Arms of the Imperial Railway System

Eudeonic: Black with Silver Lining

The **Union Imperial Rail Network**, originially the **Hybretian Royal Rail System** was the first completed railway in the New World, constructed jointly by the Kingdom of Hybretia and the Grand Duchy of Kolangrad in mid 244 following the Great War. As of 338, Union Rail is responsible for 35% of all rail transport in the New World and 70% of all rail transport in Arassia. It is also responsible for maintenance and operation of the Union Flyer.

The original railway ran from Novohybrilaudum to Dalovsk and was expanded to meet Commonwealth Rail in 255. Over the course of the next several decades the line expanded up into Kygon and into Arassia. Union Rail has an agreement for direct line transfers into Commonwealth Rail, which commences at the Kordynian Border. Union Rail runs consistent Trans-Continental express trains with termini at Iksis, New Hybris, Kordowyn, and Luton. Express engines and goods run on Union Rail to every city in the Second Kygonese Empire, Cigaltria, and the Hybro-Gorathic Empire.

Union Rail has a subsidiary, known until 338 as Galatean Rail, which services Hybretian Galatea and connects via transfer yard at the Kordynian-Pandrosi Border. The Imperial Commonwealth owns a partial stake in Galatean Rail due to the stretch running through its exclave.

Union Rail maintains a behemoth fleet of steam locomotives, with a total of 26,510 in either mainline, branchline, or industrial use across four continents. Following a series of high profile accidents in the 330s, lobbying began to discontinue steam locomotives in favor of Diesil engines, though efforts have been blocked due to the cost of building enough locomotives to replace already functional equipment.
Mernis Plague

The **Mernis Plague** is a virulent disease native to the Mernis Jungle, resulting in no known settlements and few expeditions in the forest. The most notable victim of the Plague is the colony of Taris, there have not been any major outbreaks of the disease since 56KOR, when it destroyed the Gorathic Kingdom. A theory behind The Great Cataclysm places the plague as the killer of Endiolaudum, however this has been contested by historians.

## Transmission

Recent research has indicated that the Plague was first introduced to humans via the water in the Mernis Jungle, the Hybretians believe it to be a secretion of a type of jungle algea. Once the disease infects a carrier, it is spread through fluid contact, be it spittle, blood, or other forms.

## Symptoms

The Mernis Plague manifests differently in certain people, but it begins with a slight cough, before causing severe migraines. A week after symptoms begin to manifest, *acral necrosis* begins to set in, before wide spread lymphatic failure. After a week and a half, most victims became unable to absorb water, resulting in death from dehydration. In other victims, it causes a breakdown of the nerves, and in others lung and organ failure. While usually 8 in 10 infected die, those who survive are very likely to develop a similar disorder to Leprosy.

Multiple nations have shoot-on-sight laws for vessels or individuals believed to carry the Plague. Quarantine time is suggested by the Hybretians to be 60 days to ensure individuals in Plague areas are not infected.

Unlike adults, children have a much greater chance at survival, only one in five infected will die, and oddly victims will not develop the leprosy found in adults. These children become immune to the disease for the rest of their life.

## History

The first known outbreak of the Mernis Plague was the destruction of the Taris Colony in 10KOR, 46 years later followed by the collapse of the Gorathic Kingdom. Due to heavy quarantine, the disease has mostly been contained.

Historians believe that the plague may have killed the Endiolaudiki, as well as destroyed the Adonian people. This is subject to debate due to the massive lack of information from both sources involving their downfall.
John Bradley

John Bradley, Oct. 245

## **Early Life/Adolescence**

Born 187 KOR in Varsais, John accomplished little in his youth. He was an only child, and spent his days working odd jobs and wandering the city. A few years after Peter Riggs left the city, he caught wind of a new nation being setup, called the Republic of Novac. He left Varsais, bound for the fledgling nation.

## **Military Career**

Shortly after the founding of the Novacian Armed Forces, John approached the Chancellor personally to request an officer's position. Delighted at the enthusiasm of the man, the Chancellor accepted. He was given the position of Colonel of the 1st. Novacian Battalion. After service all around the country and throughout the Great War, including on the Iron Line and the Assault on the HMIV Renton, he was given the newly minted position of Field Marshal. During this time, Peter and Bradley grew very close, sharing a drink almost every night together.

## **Later Life and Death**

Those on the outside could see nothing wrong with the star Field Marshal. But people and officials near to him noticed the storm inside him, chief among them Chancellor Peter Rioux. Bradley had a tendency to lose his temper, and become a ruthless and cold machine. The final instance of this was shown when a suspected spy fell from the rafters of the meeting building, and he nearly beat him to death. Knowing it had gone too far, Peter called him into his office a few days later. He was told he would be forcefully discharged, and things escalated. Bradley lost his mind, nearly shooting the Chancellor and killing himself. Despite this, the circumstances around his death were kept from the public, allowing his image to remain decorated and a hero of the people. His death racked the Chancellor's mental state, nearly shattering it.

Rheinhallt Drynnedd

## Titles

Governor of the Crown Colony of Maddocksland

**Rheinhallt Drynnedd** is the current Governor of the Crown Colony of Maddocksland. He was appointed as Lieutenant Governor by Emperor Arthwr III in 242. Drynnedd was the former Kordynian ambassador to the Grand Duchy of Kolangrad since the Second Invasion in 233 until his appointment to his current position. He was born in 201 KOR in County Brys to a wealthy family involved in the mining industry, and was educated to be a politician and a diplomat.

In 243 Drynnedd made peaceful contact with an indigenous tribe in the South East of the Crown Colony, however the peace was short lived, as Governor Uthyr Varnes declared war on the tribe, citing attacks by them on colonial citizens and property. As a result of this action by Varnes, he was removed from his office and replaced by Drynnedd as Governor.
Sasamayed Horde

The **Sasamayed Horde** was a power that rose to control much of Selizuyukstan, Cordolva, and parts of Varreny around 800BKOR.

Starting after the Varrenian-Selizuyuk War of 256, a terrorist group referring to themselves as the Sons of the Sasamayed began bombing civilian and industrial targets in Garman, Novac, and Varreny, before killing the Doge of Sanrerugia, Marcello Gillotti, on a visit to Abhainn Garman

On December 31st 259, after the outbreak of the Tenth Selizuyuk War, the Sons of the Sasamayed captured Edward Madison while he was en route to negotiate a peace between Varreny and the Ayatollah's government.
Oliver Petrovich

Oliver shortly after being elected Chancellor, 248

## **Early Life**

Oliver Petrovich was born to a Danilov and Sasha Petrovich on July 8th, 215KOR in Palovensk, Kolangrad. He and his brother Ivan were loved as much as any parent can love a child, but their family was quite poor. Living conditions were not always the best, and their father Danilov was unable to hold down a job for long.

## **Immigration and Early Adulthood**

Oliver and Ivan were sent off to Novac shortly after their father lost his job for the 37th time in 233. Their parents believed a distant relative in the Republic was much better suited to taking care of them. Unfortunately, once they arrived, they discovered the relative had died months ago from smallpox. Oliver, now 17, and Ivan, 15, carved out a living for themselves on the then muddy streets of Fleetwood, later renamed to Montgomery. They managed to land jobs, Ivan in the experimental development of weaponry and Oliver as a runner for the newly formed United Front Party.

## **The NTP and Chancellery**

When the United Front Party split, Oliver went with the Novacian Traditionalist Party. He remained a loyal member all the way until Peter Rioux's death. He was selected as the representative for the party, and won the emergency election. His term as Chancellor can be described as a roller coaster. After years of displeasing and re-pleasing the people, the citizens of Novac finally wised up to his act and tendency to enact decrees without asking congress much of anything. In fact, it later came out that he had filled Congress with yes men through bribery and pulling strings. Combined with terrorists attacks by Selizuyuk Nationalists, his popularity sunk to an all time low and he was thrown out from the party. Shortly before the next election, he fled the country after several attempts on his life. His current whereabouts are unknown, though many suspect he was assassinated by an unknown party.
Vivienne II

**Vivienne II** was the final blood ruler of the House of Varsais and final legitimate Queen of Varsais. Due to her father's salic law, she was forced to take the throne with her husband, Phillipe IX. Despite enjoying the popularity and sympathy of the people, Vivienne was never able to gain a right to sole rule, and her husband continuously weakened her political position. Following the invasion of Varsais in the War of 241, Phillipe was executed for Treason against the Empire. Disillusioned with rule, she abdicated in favor of the Duke of Maereynde.

Pávlos Lefkós

**Pávlos Lefkós** is a composer from the Hybro-Gorathic Empire, and the leader of the "thóryvos" movement in music.

Lefkos began his career as a trained percussionist and conductor, and recorded a number of popular piano-rolls in the emergent komikós, or ragtime, songs in the 250s KOR. Shortly after the end of the War of the Hybretian Succession, Lefkos put together a brass band, complete with percussionists, a bass player, a pianist, and a Kordynian soldier playing the banjo to create a new style of music, which premiered on December 15th at the Royal Opera House - to much dismay.

Despite the emergent hatred of this new type of music by certain members of the upper class and Union Elites, the music quickly became popular in clubs and on records with the middle and lower orders. One newspaper trashed the "ruckus", which was adopted as its name (thóryvos in Hybretian). Kordynian soldiers occupying New Hybris also came to enjoy it, referring it to as Cam-Cloff, or limp-step, based on the genre's strange pulsing.

Lefkos is considered a forefront member of the Generation of '62 movement.
Liberal Reformer Party

### General Platform

Decentralized Imperial government, minor representation for Imperial Subject States, laissez faire capitalist economy and free trade

### Number of Seats in Parliament

House of Burghers: 138House of Nobles: 8

The **Liberal Reformer Party** is one of the larger political parties in the Empire of Kordowyn. The LRP was the second political party to declare candidacy in the first election for the Imperial Parliament of Kordowyn, doing so a day after the Conservatives. The current leader of the LRP is Heddwyn Tudor, a wealthy merchant based out of the Imperial Capitol.

The primary party platform of the LRP is the support of the current decentralized government of the Empire, as well as representation for the Imperial Subject States in Parliament. They also support for laissez faire capitalism and free trade. The LRP agrees with their primary rival, the Conservatives, on the status of the military and voting rights.

The LRP received the endorsements of the Counts of Lloyd, Brys, Gwynne, and Bowen, as well as the endorsement of Empire Daily, the primary newspaper for the Imperial Heartland.
Thunderbrawl

The **Battle of the Northern Islands**, or commonly known as **Thunderbrawl**, was a showdown between the damaged Gretian prototype destroyer, HMIV *Thunderball*, and the flagship of the Garmanese Navy, *Thunder Child*.

Following the Battle of the North Sea earlier that day, the Destroyer, which had been successful in destroying numerous Hybretian, Kygonese, and Garmanese vessels, as well as responsible for the shots that killed King Marcas De Róiste I, was somewhat damaged from buying time for the Third Imprial Army to land north of what would become Faraday. The *Thunder Child*  and *Curracloe* gave chase. Unable to find the *Thunderball* in the fog, leading to an intense game of cat and mouse, with the destroyer occasionally running into the *Thunder Child*, slamming it with heavy artillery, before dissapearing.

At one point, *Thunderball* dissapeared into a narrow chain of islands, *Thunder Child* pursued, leaving the Curracloe behind. The destroyer suddenly pulled along side and began tearing into the deck and crews with gattling guns, destroying the masts, and wiping out the command deck. With the battle seemingly swinging in their favor, the *Thunderball* suddenly clipped the man-o-war, sheering off a large piece of the hull and tethering the ships together.

As fire broke out on the destroyer, slowly spreading to the man o war, an oil leak lit up and detonated the ammunition dump, sending both ships up in a ball of fire. There were 5 survivors, including Admiral MacDiamúda, who died shortly after seeing the King. The destruction of the *Thunderball* severely curtailed the Gretian Navy's effectiveness.

Lortetski Steelworks Riots

The Lotetski Steelworks Riot were a series of protests turned violent in Palovensk, Grand Duchy of Kolangrad in 320.

During the 310s, high tensions with the Templari'i Republic and Nichibotsu Shogunate lead to Conservative majorities in the Novzaklod. Grand Chancellor Jaroslavl Fyodorovska repealed several labor protections in order to support the colonies and fend off a Templari'i invasion. The Great Scuffle was brief and inconclusive, but the repulsion of Templari'i invaders in Dalovsk won substantial support for the conservatives, however the Nichibotsu invasion in 312 provided the government an exscuse not to reimplement labor protections.

In 320, with the Colonial Wars in a lull and the international community finally at peace, workers became fed up with years of labor abuses and preventable deaths. The Lorteksi Steelworks experienced a string of deaths, with five workers dying in the span of 6 weeks. Incensed, the workers went on strike and demanded the government reinstate labor protections.

The strike didnt gain national attention for two weeks, until the lack of steel became noticeable. Newspapers published the issue extensively, and the Conservative Government labelled the strikers as "Traitors to the Nation". Conservative groups sprung up to counterprotest, leading to fights and escalating violence. The tough on crime Grand Chancellor dispatched the National Guard, who fired into the strikers on August 8th 320.

Massive riots struck the city as a result, and for ten days Palovensk looked like it would return to its old ways. The government prevented this by stationing a massive force in the city for three years.

The final loss of continental West Eudeon in 323 pushed the Conservatives out of power, and empowered a Liberal minority government under Athenasio Deredeios, who failed to implement reforms as a result of his limited legislative control. Conservatives regained power in 324 with Pytor Forvky, who had won votes in Dalovsk and parts of Palovensk on the promise of reimplementing peace time labor protections, which failed. Protests would continue in Palovensk for years to come, but the Lortetskiy Steelwork Riots were the last major example of labor violence in the Grand Duchy pre-Union.

There were 19 monarchs of the Gretian Empire between its establishment as the Duchy of Greyborough in 138BKOR and its restructure into the Tripartite Empire in 250KOR. The state was founded by rebel mercenaries and Brixian warriors after Imperian loses in the Apexine Rebellion. The First Gretian Civil War saw the Empire briefly become a Republic.

Social Democrat Party of Kordowyn

### General Platform

Redistribution of wealth via social reform, full funding for childhood education, pensions for those injured in the workplace, minimum wages and maximum work hours

The **Social Democrat Party of Kordowyn**, or the SDPK for short, is a socialist party founded in October of 244 by the Acro-Kordynian scholar Andreas Powell. The party received widespread criticism for their outlandish and radical policies, which include redistribution of wealth via social reform, education funding for the lower classes, government mandated minimum wage, set number of work hours, and work safety regulations, including banning child labor.

The Social Democrats are the current ruling party in the Kordynian Parliament with a majority of the seats in the Parliament.
Operation Dimokratía

### Result

???Hybretians seize Westport for General Reens, withdraw once General Reens denounces the intervention.

**Operation Dimokratía** was an operation by the Hybro-Gorathic Empire and the Grand Duchy of Kolangrad to assist the failing campaign by General Reens. The Operation was launched at Kolanski fears of a victorious General Lucius invading Kolangrad. The attack on Westport resulted in the destruction HWS *Punishment* and serious damage to multiple Hybretian Destroyers and Caestoras Class cruisers, but ended with a Hybretian victory.

General Luicius and Dictator Hellerian captured the Templari'i Citadel and Reens denounced foreign support before his government fell. The Operation ended before it's next planned phase.
Veltran of Caestor-Volinas

**HRH Prince Veltran**, **Kankelários, Prince of Eresia**, is the current Chancellor of the Hybretian Government, having gained the position after the victory of the Conservative and Moderates in the 270 Election. He dethroned Kyra Mardakadies, who had been the first Chancellor and had ruled with one interruption for a decade.

The Prince-Chancellor was unable to stop the plummeting economy and the government's decision to join the Second Great War again on the opposite side as when it first joined severely ruined his popularity.
Vlasily Mrediysav

Vlasily Mrediysav was the ninth monarch of the Grand Duchy of Kolangrad after Grand Duke Gregor Halsza VI abdicated the throne due to declining health. Vlasily Mrediysav was killed in a duel with Fyodor Yskorov, who assumed the throne of Grand Duke afterwards.

Vlasily Mrediysav was a traditionalist, often at odds with Gregor VI over the latter's progressive stances, especially that of a national parliament, which Vlasily dissolved immediately following his ascension. Vlasily's rule became swiftly unpopular, as he established a secret police force to arrest dissenting voices, as well as cracking down on the press, often arresting any editors and paper staff who printed critical papers. As a final straw, provoking the duel with Fyodor Yskorov, Vlasily would gift vast sums from the Kolanskiy treasury, neglecting to rebuild infrastructure and buildings across Kolangrad in the years following the Great War and Gretian Invasion.

Though unpopular, Vlasily also saw the completion of the Great Dalovskiy Citadel, a massive modern fortress in the Duchy of Dalovk, as well as the modernization of the Kolanskiy Army and Navy.

Republic of Kygon

## Autocratic Republic of Kygon

The **Autocratic Republic of Kygon** is the successor to the Empire of Kygon following the former's collapse after the Invasion of Kygon by the Empire of Kordowyn. Unable to regain control of the greater Kygonese Expanse, the Republic was replaced by the Neo-Kygonese Empire in 241KOR.

In 218KOR, after eight years of chaos, a sustainable government was formed in Haven the Capitol of new government. The Republic of Haven, named after it's home city, was formed with Kordynian and Varisian bankrolling. For the most part the Republic was a City-State, only controlling Haven and parts of the surrounding Expanse. For many years the Republic tried to regain control of the Expanse by fighting local warlords and trying to restore the order of law. After the Death of Chancellor Frank Mair(170KOR-235KOR), The Republic elected Friedrich Kaiser(209KOR-243KOR) a politician from the middle class in Haven, born in Trier. The Republic was vieing for power with the Republic of Inaria, a similar state on the east side of the country.

**The Republic becomes an Autocratic Republic**

In the early months of Friedrich Kaiser's term, he declared himself the Supreme Leader of the Autocratic Republic of Kygon and took control of the government and military operations. The Republic began experiencing continuous victories against the Anarchy warlords, and eventually reached an agreement with the Inarians for a post-Anarchy peace settlement. After the allied victory in the War of 241, Kaiser announced the declaration of the Neo-Kygonese Empire to regain most of the Kygon Expanse and expand in the Northern Reaches.

Reconstruction Decrees

### Provisions

Expansion of Novohybrilaudum to accommodate new factories and buildings.Reorganization of the Military

Demotion of the General's Council to an advisory committee

Department of Military Loyalty

Authorization to use Slave Labor for Traitors to the State

### Enaction Date

March 25th 244

The **Reconstruction Decrees** were signed into law by King Daelin I of Hybretia in the 10 days after the defeat of the Gretian Navy at the Third Battle of New Hybris. The Decrees were ordered to rebuild the state, and caused some controversy.

## Reconstruction & Expansion Decree

The first Decree, signed March 16th 244, ordered the rebuilding of New Hybris and to expand the city further inland, opening up more land for factories, warehouses, and barracks. It also ordered the construction of additional walls and internal defenses on the coastal sections of the city.

## Military Decree

The second decree, signed March 17th 244, restructured the Military, demoting officers who sided with Caelar VII in the Great War and promoting Daelin's loyalists. General Drakon Kalkhas was named Lord High Commander of the armies, and a rank system overhaul decreased the total number of Colonels and Generals and increased the number of Captains and Admirals.

## Government Reorganization Decree

The third decree, signed later on March 17th 244, reorganized the government into a series of departments headed by a member of the Generals' Council reporting directly to the King, appointed by the King. The Generals' Council lost all ability to control military endeavors and legislative actions, and was restructured as an Advisory Committee.

## Traitors' Redemption Decree

The most scandalous of the decrees, signed on March 25th 244, was the Traitors' Redemption Decree, which authorized the use of those known to have outright supported Caelar VII to be seized as military property and put to work for the construction of New Hybris or any other military projects as the King saw fit. Reactions were mixed, but fear of retribution from the King's special forces prevented any outward challenges of the act.
Kingdom of Naomh Dubhí

**The Kingdom of Naomh Dubhí** was a Gretian puppet state in the northern regions of the Confederation of Garman, comprised of County Cork, County Wicklow, County Galway, County Sneachta, and County Fethard, as well as claiming control of Gretian occupied Garmanese colonies.

The puppet state was ruled by Caiomhe ó Mhuirneacháin, the sister of deceased Saoirse ó Mhuirneacháin, who ruled Fearna and sparked the Garmanese Civil War. The hope was that having a major proponent of Northern independence would rally some support from Naomh Dubhí sympathizers did not materialize, and for two years the Kingdom struggled to maintain control of it's own territory.

For the most part of it's history, the Kingdom only controlled it's cities, The Golden City, Dublin, Tagoat, and it's capital Fearna, with the countryside descending into chaos and rebellions. An inability to resupply troops and a reluctant Gretian Empire now needing troops to defend against the Pandrosi lead to a slow collapse of the Kingdom culminating in the May Revolution. The Kingdom was declared legally defunct on June 1st, 269.

The collapse of the Kingdom showed that there had been a fundamental shift in the north's view of the south, and that the Confederation had become much more united than previously thought.

King **László VI** of the house of Arpad was the King of the Kingdom of Várrény from 246-270. Laszlo was the second son of King Agostan III and pursued a career in the Grand Army of the Empire of Kordowyn. He served in the War of 241 and the Great War and grew to greatly respect Emperor Arthwr III and the Kordynian style of governance.

In 246, his father was assassinated by anarchists while touring Tisanas, and his brother contracted the Gorathic Sweating Sickness. A courier recalled him home, and unknowing Laszlo returned to Korleny, where he was shocked to find himself now King of Varreny.

His coronation occurred on the 18th of December, 246. In March the following year, the Seventh Varrenian-Selizuyuk War broke out with Selizuyuk troops crossed the border. He appealed to western nations to help him, and received some success. During the course of the immediate war, he lead the army in numerous victorious campaigns while modernizing the Kingdom's military.

László has been described as quiet, socially inept, and had a stammer until he was 24. It is known that he despises court and all it's machinations and keeps a close eye on the nobility. According to rumors, he was dismayed to find himself King, having wanted to work his way up the ranks in the Imperial Army. Possibly for this reason he often leads the Varrenian Army to war.

When the 255 All Avalon Hurling Tournament was announced, Laszlo personally founded and played in the Royal Reavers, who advanced to the Quarter Finals, with the King on the field with his military buddies.

Laszlo is best remembered for his constant wars against the Beylik of Selizüyük, of which there were seven during his reign. Varreny won the first three and were for a period considered a regional major power. The tables turned however when the Selizuyuks won the Ninth Selizuyuk-Varrenian War in 256, and subsequent attempts to regain advantage failed as Selizuyukstan rapidly mobilized and by consistent Templari'i interventions in the wars. His death through the government into chaos.

## Titles

First Lady of NovacGeneralia of Hybretia

**Queen** **Keila** was a Hybretian woman who served as the Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Várrény from 252 to 263. She was previously married to Peter Rioux, until his death.

Her discipline and vigor attracted the attention of her superior, General Kroyzos, who then brought her to the attention of the King, Daelin I who promoted her to Colonel directly from the rank of Private. She fought and commanded with honor during the November Terrors and served at the Battle of Langston.

Colonel Tysos led the Hybretian 4th Division in the December Offensive and was personally tasked with ensuring the evacuation of civilians safely to Dalovsk. She was in charge of the ground forces sent to recapture New Hybris and Kolangrad should the Third Battle of New Hybris have had an engagement on land.

After the war, Tysos was a favorite to become a Generalia after the execution of numerous members of the Council after they supported the Gretians. She was appointed on July 4th, 244, and was appointed Ambassador to Novac in August. She married Chancellor Riggs in a surprise ceremony in early 245.

Her marriage was loveless, and the birth of her son, Douglas, did nothing to further the relationship. After her husbands death in 248, she protested when she was re-assigned as Ambassador to Novac, and was allowed to move to a new position.

In 252 she was dispatched to Varreny to serve as the Hybretian Ambassador. She met the King, Laszlo VI, and they began a courtship. They were married on June 18th 253. Her son by her first marriage was adopted and made Duke of Bohm-Rioux.

The Queen is controversial in Varreny, where she has numerous times taken command of the army, such as to crush the Varrenian Republic in 260.

In 262 she gave birth to Prince Laszlo, who was stillborn. The following year, she gave birth again. She died but the boy, Péter survived.

Templari'i Civil War (902)Imperian War of Suppression

Formation of the Gretian Duchy

The **War of the Arcadian Succession** was a major conflict in the Old World that seriously destabilized the Balance of Power that had existed since the beginning of the Imperial Age. The War broke out over the disputed succession to the Arcadian throne, before spiraling out of control and devastating most of the major powers, with the exception of the Empire of Tyris and the Rigdenship of Pandora, which remained neutral.

The war marks the end of the Second Imperian Supremacy and the rise in power of both the Templari'i Empire and what would eventually become the Gretian Empire.

## Causes of the War

### In Arcadia

In late March of 896, Emperor Marcas I died of natural causes, leaving the throne to his eldest son, Marcas II. Despite the legal security Marcas II enjoyed, precedent had been set for a younger brother to seize the throne, and his brother Atolonius was very popular.

By March of the next year, Marcas II had angered most of the nobility after raising their taxes and confiscating lands of courtiers he disliked. A group of nobles declared Atolonius as Atolonius III

The war quickly swung against the Rebel King, who was driven from the region with ease. Atolonius fled to a disunified Duchy of Sidonia, and hid there for a few months.

### In Imperia

King Metaphorous III had lost a number of possessions to Arcadia in Upper Silvestra in a small war in the earlier half of the decade. The King, sensing a prime opportunity to take back his lands did so with ease, before moving to grab a few extra miles. This angered Marcas II, and relations broke down until Metaphorous sent an envoy to entreat with Atolonius to scare off Marcas. When the envoy was intercepted and killed in Arcadian territory, Imperia declared war.

### In the Templar

Since Claneria's Treaty, the Templari'i had been staunch allies and supporters of Imperia in exchange for recognition of claims on Hollandis. Emperor Doharnes IV had aims on the Arcadian posession of Solitude, and tried to convince Atolonius to hand it over in exchange for military support, but were refused. As a result, the Templar opted to remain neutral
The September Bulls

### Provisions

1. All Gorathic Citizens are afforded equal rights, protections, and treatments under the law as Hybretian Citizens; actions taken by Hybretian Citizens to deprive Gorathic Citizens of their rights unlawful2. Basilean, Prince of Endioulaudika, made Lord Governor of Taris in Minority until his 16th birthday

### Enaction Date

Immediate

The **September Bulls** were edicts issued by Emperor Daelin I ordering that Gorathic citizens be afforded equal treatment. While this had been the de facto prior, a number of attacks on Gorathics, including one on some school age boys by the Crown Prince, caused Daelin to award these rights de jure.
Operation Asfyxianes

**Operation Asfyxianes** was a top secret classified project within the Imperial Union Armed Forces. The existence of the project was leaked to the Press by accident in 335, and the government has aggressively kept details secret on the project. It was presumed that the project had something to do with the Union's computer research as part of the Hybretian Antiballistic Missile Network as Asfyxianes is an ancient Endiolaudiki mathematician. Instead, this was a red herring, and instead referenced Asfyxianes famous death by posioning.

As revealed in mid 339 during the Second Eudeonic War, the project was actually a chemical weapon labeled as H-04, aka S.A.R.I.N. The weapon was deployed to great success against the Nichibotsu but resulted in high civilian casualties. It was named for the project leads, Drs. Aristotalis Stratotis, , Jobilya Akaware, Theodosius Remoulis, Kassandra Iadana, and Athanasios Nicolidis.
KRV Bakro Moija

The Kolanski Royal Vessel (K.R.V.) *Bakro Moija* was a Kolanski heavy frigate, the second built following The Second Invasion of Kolangrad by order of Gregor Halsza VI, Grand Duke of Kolangrad, due to rising tensions with the Duchy of Hybretia.

On March 7th, 242, two days after the declaration of the Inter-Coastal War the *Bakro Moija* barely evaded a pirate fleet near Endiolaudum.

Templari'i Republic

**The Isinyithan Revolution** or **The Templari'i Invasion of Isinyitha** as it is known to the Imperial Commonwealth, began in late 278 when years of anger over the rule of a non-noble child boiled over, leading to the Army conspiring with revolutionary and student groups to overthrow the government and declare a republic. The Templari'i supported the efforts, and by 282 had landed a large number of forces to aide the army. The Imperial Commonwealth, concerned over the Templari'i precense, made attempts to support the King, but could do nothing before he was driven into exile and the war ended. Holdouts remained until late 282, when the Templari'i officially annexed Isinyitha as a protectorate, and then in 300, officially incorporated it as a district.

Corporate Armies

The **Lirrachan Anarchy** was a total collapse of authority in the capitalist Lirrachan Republic precipitated by the collapse of the economy and mass unemployment, following almost a decade of grueling warfare and austerity.

In July 1296, LRS *Hand of Democracy*, the first Democracy-Class Dreadnaught, suffered a catastrophic failure of her turrets, afterwhich a massive sale of Bannean Arms stocks lead to a collapse of the Stock Market. Shortly after, a bank run lead to the collapse of the Bank of the Republic, and the government backed corporations collapsed. Heavily in debt from the Great War and Third Pandrosi War, as well as excessive spending of Treasury funds by the Corporations lead to the collapse of the Republican Dollar, and employment shot through the floor in the next month. A Congressional Panel estimated that almost 93% of the population was now unemployed and that most of the working class's savings had evaporated or been spent by Bannean Arms.

Attempts to open new lines of credit or gain aide from the Gretian Empire were thwarted by an increasingly isolationist Empress, and riots broke out against the Government and Corporations by early 1297. In June, a bomb was detonated in the Congress of Deputies, killing a number of them, and driving the government to evacuate, as the Ironbridge Riots ravaged the city.

A group formed under Sorel Inanias, leader of the Iron-workers Union, seized control of the mines for themselves, and began organizing a massive Syndicalist movement, which other Unions flocked to. To compound issues, the country was struck by the Eulasian Flu, the President and cabinet were wiped out as well as a large portion of the population, and the army was unable to mobilize to quell the revolt due to rampant deaths in the camps.

The Congress of Deputies forced Clariel Vercinge to become President of Lirrach for a second time, as Syndaclist forces gained ground in the north of the Republic.
Samson Model A

The Samson Model A is the first motor vehicle produced by the Owen Samson Company, which hit automotive markets in mid 259, later than its competitors. This did not, however, hinder sales on the Model A, as it was much cheaper and more affordable than it's competitors the 259 Cadigan and the Kenrick 'Runabout'.

The Model A is advertised as an affordable vehicle for the common man.
Isinythia

Isinythia is a kingdom with a population of 650,000. Its
current leader is Delano Kuznetsov and is a constitutional monarchy.  Founded roughly 247 years ago under King Ivan
Kuznetsov it quickly expanded to the eastern reaches of the known world.

## GOVERNMENT

Isinythia is a constitutional monarchy. There are
two governing bodies: the ruling monarch and the senate. The Senate is voted in
by the people and there are 50 delegates and one Delegate Executive that is responsible
for managing senate meeting and keeping order on the floor. The Delegate Executive
is also in charge of dealing with foreign affairs and chief diplomat. Any law
that is pass has to both get a 4/5ths of the senate vote and approval by the
ruling monarch. The ruling monarch can veto a law if he/she feels its unjust
and can also call emergency orders into effect without the approval of the
senate.

## Economy

For decades the economy of the kingdom of Isynthia
relied on a barter and trade system for its main economy with no major form of currency.
After meeting the Templar ‘I Republic the current ruler, Delano Kuznetsov
adopted a new form of currency that became the standard form of payment, but
some regions still adopt the practice of barter and trade.
Third Great War

**The Third Great War,** also known as **The Tradesmans' War**, **The Reluctant War**, **The Not So Grand War**, and in Kordowyn, **Lord Griffith's Folly**, was a large conflict that lasted slightly under 4 years between 315 and 319 KOR.

The War broke out initially via a trade dispute when the Fung Empire and Dominion of Mangalore attempted to cease trading with the Imperial Commonwealth, Rigdenship of Pandora, and Nichibotsu Shogunate. Secondary conflicts arose as well in the Old World in the Dionian War, where the nations of that continent went to war with Pandora over longstanding tensions, and the former states of the Confederation of the Horsch. Eventually the Uneasy Alliance formed, pitting the Imperial Commonwealth, Pandora, and the Nichibotsu with the Areians, Garmanese,Vorghars, Sarara, Malathor, and Sorgan.

Part of the war was the Nuclear Arms Race, which the Rigdenship of Pandora won on the 15th July, 318. A nuclear bomb was dropped on Seylistis on August 8th, 318. Five days later, another bomb was dropped on Linsele, Drevlia. A plan sent to bomb Calican, Mangalore, was shot down, leading to its bomb detonating in its crash, in the Mangalorian mountains. The losing side surrendered to the Alliance soon after and Setacolina surrendered on February 8th, 319, ending the proximal war between them, Kygon, Garman, and Veerelande.
