Ostland

**Ostland** is a constituent kingdom in Antia. It includes 3 states (called *krais*): the Northlands, the Telstlands (the Telstlands includes all of the area where Telstic peoples live, including on the mainland), Hast Island, and 2 protectorates (called *pashtpanéchats*): the Alesh Isle and the Frensks.

## History

The original Tsardom of Ostland was formed in 563 B.U. by Ölmit (Ö = *oo* in U.S. English *football*) the Great. It contained the Ostish peoples in the southern part of modern-day Ostland, near the Great Lakes. It finally conquered the Telsts in 320 B.U., when the Telstic Tsar Imit III submitted to Franzt IV. Franzt IV also sent expeditions to islands and towards the north. Yemit Oskavar discovered and claimed Alesh Isle for the Ostish in 315 and later the Frensks in 313.

The Kingdom of Entland was formed in 230 B.U. during the reign of Endrew V. After Entland invaded Vorkland between 225 and 222, Endrew V started strengthening relations with the Entish King Yarold I. In between 200 and 20 B.U., only some expeditions occurred.

In 20 B.U., Tsar Elfred III of Ostland and King Ulmbert II of Entland held the Great Game, where competitions happened between Entish and Ostish athletes, warriors, etc. for 6 months. During this time, Elfred and Ulmbert signed the Treaty of the Two Kingdoms, where they agreed to support each other in military, food, etc. In 15 B.U., Lord Ulkrod of Black Harbour led a rebellion against Elfred III known as the Black Revolution. He had the support of 13 other lords. The rebels were winning against the Ostish army since it was winter and the rest of the soldiers were in the east, not west. Ulmbert sent 25,000 fully-trained foot soldiers, along with 90 ships, 3 of which armed with cannons, through the Aden Bay to Black Harbour. Lord Ulkrod was executed and the House of Esten was deposed from ruling the Lordship of Decon. The 13 lords who supported Ulkrod were also executed. The one house in Decon that did not revolt was the House of Tyburn, who ruled the city of Ty.

### Revolution

In 578, Vorkland declared independence, then Vornland in 579 during the Entish Civil War. Nedward I, the Kaiser at the time, went down to Vorkland to see Lord Yosef Kenton, his old friend, about the revolution. He was captured in the Battle of Saltcastle in 580 by the Entish. His first-born son, Edmyn, named himself Tsar of the New Ice (Ice meaning Ostland) and declared independence in 580 in revenge for his father, thinking Nedward was dead.

In 589, Edmyn was killed at the Battle of Moat Prine, and his younger brother Rodrick became Tsar. However Rodrick was killed in 591 by a fleet of Entish-paid privateers who attacked Black Harbour. The youngest son of Nedward, Podrick, became Tsar at the age of 9. He was killed after being captured by the traitor Lord Tomas Hamos of Ozeria in 594.

## Regions and Protectorates

Ostland was split into regions (called *oblasts*; officially called *lordships*) by Tsar Elfred IV (who was crowned Kaiser Elfred I/IV (more commonly called 'the IV') 2 years after becoming Tsar). They are: (including their Seat)

1. Highlands and Islands (H.I.) | Ellos [Red]
2. Central Ostland (C.O.) | Dübasyen [Lime Green]
3. Occidental Ostland (I.O.) *or* Pecon | Pecongrad [Cyan]
4. Oriental Ostland (R.O.) | Moat Príne [Teal]
5. Decon | Ty [Green]
6. Hastia *or* Hast Island | Hastenberg [Blue]
7. Greatland(ia) *or* | Lyedgorod [Yellow]
8. Leria | Castler Lerain [Dark Teal]

There is one constituent region:

1. Únia | Svyatoygrad and Dübasyen[1]

Únia was formed originally by the combination of Cork and York, but the 9th region of Orientia joined the constituent region as well. It is led by the Dukes of Cork and York, and the Lord of Kenshtnov.

There are 2 protectorates:

1. The Frensks | The Town of Frenesken (on the Isle of Frenskia)
2. The Alesh Isle *or* Alesia | Hinberg

These are not regions because hey were originally Ostish colonies (and because the Frensks is an archipelago of extremely small islands).
