Svyturys-Montagne Railway

One of the largest railway companies of Liotain.

### History

A railway line across the Liotainian Kordilerja was proposed as early as 1850, but the technical challenges were thought to be too significant. Upheaval in the domestic railway markets during the 1860s led to the formation of the government-owned Liotainian State Railways in 1869, but through the 1870s, the government still encouraged private investment in railways (so long as they met the requirements being imposed elsewhere).

The Svyturys-Montagne Railway was founded in 1874, but was not officially recognized until 1875. Construction began in 1876, running a metre-gauge rail line southwest from Svyturys, with the objective of reaching the city of Trakai, on the shore of Lake Tripartite. The line was completed in 1881.

Another meter-gauge line was built from Svyturys to the port of Telsai, further down the coast, between 1880 and 1883.

## Locomotives

The Svyturys-Montagne Railway prefers steam locomotives, largely ignoring the electrification efforts which swept across the Liotainian State Railways between 1898 and 1904.

Somal

Somal is a country on the northwestern shore of the Encircled Sea, in the northeastern portion of Zamoroziet. It is bordered on the west by Bedin and in the east by Prem-Bol.

Up until the 1740s, Somal was part of the Northern Bolish Confederation, which had conquered and subjugated the region between the 9th and 11th centuries. The primeval Som people (a tribe very distantly related to the Yuez) were conquered. Up to the the 17th century, they remained a minority within their traditional homeland.

During the Great Northern War (a conflict associated with the 40 Years War, the Northern Bols suffered several defeats at the hands of various enemies. The Somi and the neighboring Bedi tribes both entered open revolt, massacring the local Bols while also suffering numerous defeats on the battlefield. However, this cascade of rebellions - including the Zakiri to the east - proved overwhelming for the Northern Bolish Confederation, which collapsed under the onslaught. The majority of Bols regrouped in modern Prem-Bol, although some formed/joined the enclave in Kyslev.

Somal officially received their independence in 1754, but the state has seen uncertain times since then. An attempt to seize territory from Prem-Bol in the early 1800s resulted in defeat.

Since the early 1800s, there have been occasional proposals to unify the Som people (specifically, Somal and neighboring Bedin) but these proposals have received little popular support over the years.

Somal is ruled by a monarchy led by Caetizar Valik Valikav. Valik is the son of Caetizarina Akaderenya Valikava, whom he deposed in 1899 after an almost-bloodless revolution (with the sole casualty being the Caetizarina's lover, who was thrown off a balcony to a crowd of soldiers with bayonets).

In spite of their traditional hatred of Bolish culture, language, and customs, Somal's religion is heavily based off traditional Bolish polytheism, with Som names substituted for Bolish names. Somal's broad retention of Bolish polytheism constitutes one of the major differences between Somal and neighboring Bedin.

Since Valik Valikav came to power in 1899, the government has proven more willing to conduct discussions with neighboring Prem-Bol; Valikav even dropped the traditional phrase "defiler of Bolish virgins" from his official list of titles - even most Som started to agree that it was perhaps a little more offensive than strictly necessary.

Somal has an unresolved border conflict with Bedin.
League of Cultural Preservation

The **League of Cultural Preservation** (*Aukustian; Barcă Sokhranenije Nasledije*) is a political think tank dedicated towards the "preservation of traditional Aukustian & Konseptiyan values." The League is financially supported by the Aukustian People's Interest Party. Before he became chairman of the party, the league was led by Nenad Sabić. The League is in charge of managing the cultural policies of the APIP.

## List of Known Pirates

* Roberto "El Bucanero" Hernandez (1571-1623): Firoccan corsair and folk hero.
* Ion Lardizabal (1678-1773): Syrellian pirate.
* Aldona Mockus (1771-1830): Liotainian-born pirate, famed for ransoming the king of Qichau in 1821.
* Micha Aiolfi (1770-1808): L'acquan Pirate, Kidnapper, murderer & war criminal.
* Wenzu Borg (1796-1867): Erisian river pirate.
Automobile Industry of Liotain

## Companies

* **Flavia**: Liotain's largest car manufacturer, with its headquarters and primary factory in [[Rokantiskes]]. Flavia was originally a coachbuilder (and still builds coaches, on a decreasing scale) but moved into the automobile industry early in the process. They have three models in production as of 1907.
* **Vytautis**: Headquartered in the Neris suburb of Seta, the Vytautis Company is another coachbuilder that made the transition to an automobile manufacturer. Vytautis has a high reputation for their innovative design features, but they have struggled with motors.
* **Gorkunv**: The Gorkunv company was founded by prolific Breizhoned-born inventor \_\_ Gorkunv, who started building motorcycles before switching to machine guns. The motorcycle-based portion of the industry expanded into automobiles in 1901.
* **Ascania**: Although Liotain's fourth-largest automaker, Ascania has struggled with their business, largely due to the oddity of their designs. Their first vehicle was a tricycle-car powered by a pair of motorcycle engines. They produced a successful truck in 1904 which has partially revived their brand. However, from 1903 onward, they have competed successfully with Gorkunv in the motorcycle business.
* **Sabra**: Originally producing steam tractors and mechanical harvesting equipment, Sabra began to diversify into automobiles in 1903. Their small automotive factory outside Sventoji is cramped, contributing to a low production and sales rate.
* **ALFA Remeo**: Founded in 1906 by a small group of engineers who left Flavia, ALFA Remeo has established themselves in Girkalnis. Due to the high expertise of their initial personnel, they turned in a very respectable first-year performance.
* **Titan**: Opening their doors in 1903, Titan is headquartered in Eletrenai. Their 1905 model, which sold twenty-five units, resulted in such poor publicity that the company nearly went under in 1906. They have switched to trucks for 1907, although it remains unclear if the company will survive.
* **Allvelo**: A Telsai-based bicycle manufacturer, Allvelo has produced a number of motorcycles before dabbling in automobiles, mostly on an artisanal scale.
* **GELA**: This Rokantiskes-based firm has been license-building a Firoccan automobile design, albeit in modest numbers.
* **Rimsa**: Operating in the suburbs of Neris, the Rimsa firm builds automobiles on the artisanal scale. Every single vehicle is custom-designed from the chassis up based on the whims of the customer.
Four-Foot Gauge Railway (Erisian Gauge)

Four-foot railway gauge spaces the rails with exactly four feet (1,219mm) between the rails. It is sometimes called **Erisian Gauge** due to its preferential use in Erisia.

### History

Four-foot gauge originated in Celtica, and was the primary user of the gauge until the 1870s and 1880s, when Celtican Standard Gauge (4'11") became significantly more common.

The Kingdom of Eirenn originally built much of their railway network to four-foot gauge. However, they converted to Celtican Standard Gauge in 1880 in order to connect with the standard-gauge railways in Firocco and Pictfearr.

The Erisian National Railways adopted four-foot gauge for the first lines of the Erisian railway network, and it was widely emulated within the country. Aside from a small portion of Celtican Standard Gauge in the north of the country (which parallels a four-foot gauge line), virtually the entire nation uses the four-foot gauge. A four-foot gauge line was built to connect Erisian Vreketai to the rest of the country, resulting in some four-foot gauge lines running through Liotain as well.

### Use

* Celtica
* Erisia
* Liotain
* Varsow
Royal Canal

The **Royal Canal** is a canal between the Gulf of Argent in the north and the Gulf of Erisia in the south. It is one of the most important commercial and military canals in the world.

### Official Name

* Celtican: *Canal Royal des Deux Royaumes* ("Royal Canal of Two Kingdoms")
* Liotainian: *Dvieju Karunu Karališkasis Kanalas* ("Two Crowns Royal Canal")

### History

It was built sometime, and improved since then.

### Dimensions

* Length: 225 m (738.2 ft)
* Width: 30 m (98.4 ft)
* Depth 12.5 m (41 ft)
* Air draft: 35 m (114.8 ft)
Currency

A **currency** in the most specific sense is money in any form when in use or circulation as a medium of exchange, especially circulating banknotes and coins. A more general definition is that a currency is a *system of money* (monetary units) in common use, especially for people in a nation. Under this definition, Celtican pound sterling (¥), Liotanian florins (ƒ), Firoccan dollars ($), Kabirite liras (**₤**), and Fusan dong (₫) are examples of currencies. Currencies may act as stores of value and be traded between nations in foreign exchange markets, which determine the relative values of the different currencies. Currencies in this sense are defined by governments, and each type has limited boundaries of acceptance.

One can classify currencies into three monetary systems: fiat money, commodity money, and representative money, depending on what guarantees a currency's value (the economy at large vs. the government's physical metal reserves). Some currencies function as legal tender in certain political jurisdictions. Others simply get traded for their economic value.

### Currencies of the World

The Celtican pound sterling (¥) is used as the comparative world currency of Erf.

The Shield States employ a system of rations for necessities alongside their general currency. This system was modestly impacted by the 1908 Western Stock Market Crash. Each ration card is three portions, which is enough to sustain a person for a day. Additional rations are provided for children and any Bellringers in the care of a family.

Nations in northern Akaina utilize the *Fusan Dong,* however monetary exchange in the north is next to nonexistent. Consumers of northern Akaina often use simplistic & traditional bartering systems instead of currency.

Eirenn & Pictfearr's currencies are mutually pegged to one another.

Due to the Antargentine Civil War, the Antargentine Peso has become incredibly inflated, becoming essentially worthless. This has lead to the practice of Antargentines using Pesos as wallpaper for their homes.
Consumptio Pugnapudnosmutuo

The **Consumptio Pugnapudnosmutuo** (*English: Those Who Fight Together*) is an illegal party & paramilitary active in Varsow. The party claims to represent the national interest of the Reman minority population, believe in Reman supremacy, pan-Remanism, support a revival of the Reman Empire, and wish for the country to return to the province of Inoltra Superior, whereby the Remans would rule with impunity. The party has very little support.
Guns of the Shield States

No nation of The Shield States is distant from the fires of conflict, which means that all have vested interest in the refinement of ballistic death.

1/3
A popular weapon with the L'acquan Royal Service Corp. The carbine is liked for the decent stopping power it offers, as well as high accuracy. Though not as powerful as a rifle the carbine is much lighter and it is far easier to train recruits to shoot compared to large revolvers. All of these make the guns popular on both the export and especially domestic markets.

Sritije

Sritije is an equestrian game which is Liotain's national sport.

## Rules

The game is played by a team of six players on a circular field. Two field sizes are normally used. *Federation Rules* sritije is played on a circular field measuring three hundred meters long by three hundred meters wide. However, Army Division and the Ladies League plays sritije on a smaller oblong field, measuring three hundred meters long by two hundred meters wide. In spite of the different field sizes, the rules are nearly identical.

The objective of the game is to move a heavy ball into the scoring zone at opposite ends of the field. The ball is called an *ozka* or 'goat' stemming from the original use of a stuffed goat-skin.

### Teams

Each team is composed of six players, with up to four sritije ponies per player.

* 2x lancers: equipped with a blunt wooden lance 3m in length
* 2x drivers: equipped with wooden mallets 1.1m in length
* 2x guards: equipped with wooden mallets 1.8m in length; cannot ride past the half-field line except in certain circumstances.

## History

Sritije has a long history in Liotain, with strong literary evidence of the game dating back to the 900s, and possibly earlier. It was mentioned in the epic poem *Solymitana Delivered* as a favorite past-time of the main characters.

## Leagues

* Liotainian National Sritije Federation: the National Federation dates to 1868, with a mix of professional and semi-professional teams.
* Ladies Sritije League of Liotain: a ladies' sritije league founded in 1783; the oldest continuous sritije league still in existence.
* Army Sritije Division: a sporting division heavily-supported by (but not exclusive to) the Liotainian Army. It is composed of semi-professionals. It was founded in 1833.

Thousand-Florin Cup (Yacht Race)

The Thousand-Florin Cup is a prestigous annual yacht race held in the Encircled Sea, usually between Syrellia, Liotain, and Firocco. Other yacht clubs are invited to participate.

## Primary Competitors

* **Club de Yates Firoccensis** / Firoccan Yacht Club: based in... Cartagenisis?
* **Karaliskasis Liotainias Jachtklubas** / Royal Liotainian Yacht Club: based in Laizuva, Liotain.
* **Yate Flotilla Nazionala** / National Yacht Flotilla: based in Pamplonia, Syrellia.

## History

* Formally established in 1868, but informal races were held on a semi-annual basis as early as 1831.
* The titular cup was cast in 1870 out of Firoccan silver, but was paid for by the Syrellian National Yacht Flotilla (the winners of the first race).
* In 1883, the format moved from having one entry each from Firocco, Liotain, and Syrellia to including a fourth contender, who is invited by the unanimous agreement of the three main members.

## General Notes

* The race is acknowledged as one of the "Triple Crowns" of oceanic yacht racing.
* In even years, the race begins in Laizuva (Liotain), stops in Isla Balagua (Firocco), and ends in Pamplonia (Syrellia).
* In odd years, the race begins in Damlis (Firocco), stops in Pamplonia (Syrellia), and ends in Svyturys (Liotain).
* The open fourth slot is usually extended to a yacht club which has achieved notable victory in other yacht races, and is deemed to be a worthy competitor.  By courtesy, the previous winner (among the three regular attendees) is given the first right to recommend the guest entry.
* As of 1905, Syrellia has had 13 victories, Liotain 12 victories, and Firocco 6 victories.  The "guest" yacht has triumphed on six occasions, with Eirenn scoring three victories, and Antargentina, Valpo, and Celtica each with one victory.
* The "Thousand-Florin Cup" actually costs rather more than a mere thousand florins.  It's uncertain exactly how or why the name was first used, but it has stuck.
* All three of the primary competitors have bowed out of the race on at least one occasion, either due to other commitments, damage to their boat, or some other factor.

We shall go on to the end.

Tsankov Expedition

The **Tsankov Expedition** was an 1647 Ostron expedition under Captain Petar Tsankov financed by both the Ostron crown as well as independent Ostron trading companies, for the purpose of finding a suitable place to establish an Ostron colony in Vissentia, which was at the forefront of burgeoning interactions between Velravin & Kijana.

Vissentia had already been in the sights of several other Velravin powers, primarily separate princedoms of Drakenstaat, which caused some early geopolitical concern about the ramifications of the missions, however the financiers believed the benefits would outweigh any potential costs.

Tsankov returned to Ostrony in early 1648, returning with roughly a dozen native Vissentians. Tsankov, alongside the natives, provided a highly embellished account of the area's resources to the other financiers, as he wished to see the project continued due to his own investing in it. His ploy would, at first, work exceptionally well; hearing of the area's great riches, a boat full of settlers was sent to the region in just 3 months, however the hasty dispatch of the settlers meant the initial colony was highly underprepared for its task, contributing to its great struggle in the early years and its eventual collapse.

Wenzu Borg

Wenzu Borg (1796-1867) was an Erisian river pirate who operated in remote areas of central and northern Erisia. He was the most notorious Erisian river pirate, with a career running without interruption from 1835 to 1867.

The Borg gang used river canoes which could be easily hidden in the forest, and launched quickly to attack river traffic. Borg maintained good relations with the poor in the regions where he operated, often giving away large portions of his cargo. In this fashion, he maintained an air of public respectability, and ensured that the authorities could never catch him in the act. Borg's gang had hideaways in the swampy Mistaghdra wetlands.

From 1850, Borg's gang operated a pair of small steamboats as well as the traditional canoes.

Borg was still active at the time of his death in 1867 at the age of seventy-one, but his gang was broken up by the authorities only a few months later. His death is usually marked as the end of the Golden Age of Erisian River Piracy.
Velravin

A continent in the northern hemisphere of Erf. Velravin connects to Zamoroziet in the north, and to Jihau in the southeast.

The continent's physical boundaries are drawn using the Unnamed Mountains on the northern border of Antargentina, and the northern border of Toraidhach; Anitkabir's western border usually constitute the eastern limits of Velravin.

Velravin includes the nations of Inoltra, Ostrony, Toraidhach, Varsow, Antargentina, Valpo, Celtica, Liotain, Erisia, and Drakenstaat.

### Disputes

Scholars and geographers dispute the exact boundaries of Velravin. Minority positions on the continental borders include:

* Some scholars include the island of Octavia in Velravin.
* A small number of geographers argue that the term "Velravin" should be more limited to only Celtica and Drakenstaat (placing Liotain and Erisia in Jihau, and the states of the Great Rift in Zamoroziet).
The Calendar

For the simplicity of play in game, dates use the Gregorian Calendar.
Most cultures and nations will have their own dating system which may well be incredibly varied.

## Examples

* Shield States use as system based on the discovery of Saddia in Gregorian year 1500(ish) meaning the year 1905 is the 505th year of the Shield. Where as the years 1000-1500 are referred to as the years of atonement as the L'acquan endured the tribulation of building of a new civilization on the Shelter islands.

* Another example.
Zakiristan

Zakiristan is a small country located in the northeastern portion of Zamoroziet.

### Overview and History

Up until the 1750s, Zakiristan was dominated by the Northern Bolish tribal confederation (modern-day Prem-Bol). Toward the end of the Great Northern War, the ethnic Zakiri people, who had been pushed into the furthest corner of the continent prior to being conquered, rose up in rebellion, achieving a modest victory of their own independent homeland.

Independence changed very little for the majority of Zakiris aside from a new flag. They have a lingering mistrust of the Bolish states of Prem-Bol (their immediate neighbor), Aukustia, and Kyslev.

Through the 1880s and early 1890s, the government allowed piracy to get out-of-control in the second-largest port of Tok Bara. As a result, the port was occupied by the Kingdom of Liotain in 1892.

### Government

Zakiristan is ruled by a monarch. The ruling monarchial house between 1753 and 1864 was almost entirely foreign-born, having started with a minor Firoccan nobleman who was invited to become king in 1753 (largely in order to win recognition from foreign powers). Since that time, very few of the monarchs actually married locally. In 1864, the crown passed to Alsu Husendayiz (1834-1894), a local tribal strongman, the illegitimate son of a prior king. Alsu's oldest son Tarko Husendayiz took the throne in 1894, and rules as an absolute monarch.

A small, inefficient bureaucracy attempts to administer the country.

### Culture

Most Zakiri practice a religion of traditional tribal shamanism. They believe the world is filled with hostile and benevolent spirits who must be appeased or bought off. Shamans are hired to recognize these spirits, and intercede wih them for beneficial results. In certain times, powerful shamans wield nearly as much influence as the monarch.

The population of Zakiristan is poor. Most natives are engaged in herding or the lumber trade.

### International Relations

* Prem-Bol: Poor. As Zakiristan's former oppressor, Prem-Bol is constantly thought to be plotting their imminent return. (Meanwhile, Prem-Bol is dominated by isolationist politics and barely wants to even trade with Zakiristan, massively kneecapping the Zakiri economy.)
* Other Bolish powers (Aukustia, Kyslev, Arkadyetsiya): Poor. Also believed to be antagonistic and expansionist-minded.
* Liotain: Poor. Zakiristan hasn't quiet forgiven them for so casually taking Tok Bara away from them in 1892, and believes they are plotting with Prem-Bol to help them reconquer the area.
* Joseon: Ambivalent. Offered a little bit of help during the war of independence, but then smacked around Zakiri pirates. Largely mysterious to the average Zakiri.
Trans-Oceanic Canals

The **Trans-Oceanic Canals** are a system of canals that connect the Encircled Sea to the world ocean.

There are two separate canal systems:

* Great Rift Canal: runs through the Great Rift Valley along Celtica's border with Antargentina, Varsow, and Ostrony.
* Royal Canal: runs along the Celtican-Liotainian border.

### Dimensions

* **Great Rift Canal**: 175 m (574.15 ft) length, 20 m (65.6 ft) beam, 7.5 m (24.6 ft) draft, 24 m (78.7 ft) air draft
* **Royal Canal**: 225 m (738.2 ft) length, 30 m (98.4 ft) beam, 12.5 m (41 ft) draft, 35 m (114.8 ft) air draft
Toraidhach

**The Republic of Toraidhach**The **Republic of Toraidhach,** commonly known as **Toraidhach,** is a Pictish nation in the northern Rift Valley. The majority of Toraidhachen are Celtican. It is bordered to the north by Arkadyetsiya, to the east by Antargentina, to the south by Varsow, and to the west by Ostrony.
Svyturys Carnival

The Svyturys Carnival is a week-long carnival held in the Liotainian city of Svyturys. It begins on the third Monday of April, and ends on the following Sunday.

### History

The carnival started in Svyturys during its time as a Firoccan Treaty Port, when locals began to imitate similar celebrations from mainland Firocco. After control returned to Liotain in 1707, the carnival continued, slowly growing in scope and gaining its own unique traditions.

### Costumes

Carnival-goers are strongly encouraged to wear costumes, which can either be home-made or purchased (usually for outrageous sums).

Participants wear painted wooden or ceramic masks and ornate, and often outrageous, clothing.

### Main Events

* The Archangel's Arrival: the carnival opens in the afternoon with a masked acrobat, dressed as an archangel, "flying" above the crowd in the central square.
* Blue Maiden's Coronation: twelve local girls compete for the coveted crown of "the Blue Maiden" on the second day of the carnival.
* Parades: each morning of the carnival opens with a parade starting in the "Little Firocco" quarter, and ending in the Central Square.
* Street Operetta: a unique musical genre features the actor-singers moving about freely through the crowd, performing short half-hour operas where spectators interact with the live performance.
* Feast and Ball: a feast and masquerade ball is held in the Svyturys Guild Hall on the Friday evening of the Carnival. There are limitations on the number of people allowed into the Guild Hall.
* Ringing the Thunder Bell: the massive "Thunder Bell" installed in the tower of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Svyturys rings three times a year: twice for religious holidays and once to signal the end of the Carnival. As the largest bell in Liotain, and one of the ten largest in the world, the ringing of the "Thunder Bell" provides a resounding final end to the celebrations.

#### Miscellaneous Entertainments

* Street Musicians: street musicians (licensed by the city) perform from morning until evening. Vanollars and other stringed instruments, as well as hangs, are most common.
* Fire-jugglers
* Street sellers

#### Characters

A number of people have unique costumes and wander around the carnival each day. By tradition, these characters are accompanied by an assistant with a pennant (showing they are an official part of the carnival).

* The Phantom
* Queen of Bells
* The Blue Maiden
* The Centurion
* Brother John
* The Juggler
* The Knight

The Holy League of Sventoji was a short-term alliance composed of:

* Antargentine Empire
* Firocco *(Antargentine territory)*
* Liotain

The war saw the last great galley battle of history, the Battle of Cape Sovata, which was fought on 7 October 1571.

## **Timeline:**

* March 1570: Kabirite troops cross into eastern Liotain with intent to annex the country.
* April 1570: The Antargentine Empire and the Kingdom of Liotain agree to the Holy League of Sventoji, a military alliance against Anitkabir.
* 12 June 1570: Anitkabir begins the Siege of Eisiskes.
* 7 October 1571: The combined League navies win a dramatic naval victory at the Battle of Cape Sovata., destroying the Kabirite naval power on the Encircled Sea.
* 4 January 1574: In the Battle of Taukuniai, Anitkabir prevents a Liotainian Army from lifting the Siege of Eisiskes.
* 16 March 1574: Anitkabir ends the Siege of Eisiskes.
* 16 October 1576: The Liotainian Army under Vydmantas I crushes a Kabirite army under Faruun Bey at the Battle of Innichenziai.
* 3 March 1579: A joint Liotainian and Antargentine army defeats Anitkabir at the Battle of Rovereto; the Kabirite army withdraws from Liotania Minor, ending the active phase of the war.
* 18 September 1579: Anitkabir agrees to the *Peace of White Doves* with Antargentina, ending the Holy League.

Liotain and Anitkabir continued to face off indirectly during the War of Erisian Succession (1575-1595), but did not fight again directly until The Great Invasion of 1629.
Valeska Guides

Established in 1900 by the Valeska Tire Company, which sought to increase tire sales by encouraging a rise in motor travel.  The authors of the Valeska Guide reviewed restaurants and hotels with recommendations for travel and tourism.  The 1900 and 1901 editions met with excellent success in Liotain, and expanded to other countries beginning in 1902.

Two different types of guides are produced:

* **The Gold Guide**: a guide specifically for the review of restaurants and hotels
* **The Blue Guide**: a general guide to cities, regions, or countries

Both the Gold and the Blue Guides limit themselves to only one hundred entries per volume, making inclusion in the guide a major achievement in and of itself.

## Editors

* **Edgaras Petraitis**: Lead editor and writer for the Gold Guide
* **Genovaite Valeska**: Lead editor and writer for the Blue Guide.  A member of the Valeska industrial family.
* **Herve LeDeunff**: writer for both the Gold and Blue Guides.
* **Jadvyga Dusvente**: writer for the Gold Guide.
* **Antanas Zemaitis**: writer for the Blue Guide.
