The Verseinian Sovereignty Wiki

## **Welcome to the The Verseinian Sovereignty Wiki!**

This is a wiki I'm making to help share my world building project. The Verseinian Sovereignty is a nation set in a universe with developed history spanning tens of thousands of years.

## Overview

This project is something I've worked on for well over 10 years. My goal is to make this universe as fleshed out and "lived in" as possible. Verseinia is teeming with myriad cultures, nations, and traditions, as well as unique magic and technological systems. My hope is that no matter your interest in world building, there will be something in this project to grab your interest and hopefully inspire you.

The setting encapsulates several nations in a galactic theater, focused on the namesake nation, The Verseinian Sovereignty, and the Sovereign, Asíron Imádoryé Mastanéa. Though there's so much to explore, it'd be a challenge to summarize it all. At the bottom of this page will be several links to some of the most interesting/well developed parts of this wiki, so feel free to explore.

### Key Nations

As mentioned above, there are several unique nations that are at various levels of narrative development. Some have only a name and maybe one or two historical facts, and others have full histories, cultures, cities, populations, currencies, traditions, languages, flags, and more. Below is a list of some of the more important players, and some overview information about it.

* **The Verseinian Sovereignty** is of course the main focus. It is an absolute monarchy with a representative government delegated by the Sovereign. Though it came from humble beginnings, from the ashes of a revolutionary war it rose to be the predominant superpower of Epae.
* **The Republic Kingdom of Vosonova** is a nation with a storied and ancient past. Starting as a loosely connected kingdom of feudal lords, it rose to become a trading powerhouse in its region. The nation went through a bloody civil war resulting in the toppling of the ancient monarchy and the establishment of authoritarian dictators. After annexing Verseinia in the 1800's, tension between the two people groups rose steadily until the eventual war that gave Verseinia its freedom saw Vosonova crumble to ashes. However, thanks to rebuilding efforts headed by Asiron as the newly crowned Sovereign, Vosonova rose again to be an inseparable ally to Verseinia, and was reformed into the modern Republic Kingdom that it is today.
* **The Sisli Jumhuriate** is another major player in the global field. This matriarchal nation is situated in an inhospitable desert called the Aurai Saia, or simply the Saia. As far back as history goes, the people of the Saia have been skilled navigators and survivalists. Leading trade through the dangers and heat of the desert, they became very wealthy. Once a monarchy, this nation went through it's own bloody civil war which saw the overthrowing of an oppressive queen and the establishment of the world's first nation with a President.
* **The United Provinces of Asatsu** is the oldest surviving nation on Epae. Much of this nations history is shrouded in mystery to the rest of the world as they have long been isolationists. But in modern history, this archipelago nation is another superpower in the world of business, technology, and culture. For most of Asatsu's past it has been ruled by warring lords, but those wars died out around the 1700's when contact with the rest of the world became more established. Today the nation consists of 32 self governing provinces with an Emperor serving a mostly ceremonial role over the whole nation.
* **The United Kingdoms of the Veldelands** is a constitutional monarchy located in the far northern hemisphere. Originally it was 3 separate kingdoms, but over centuries of wars and royal marriages, it was united into a single nation. Historically only a local power with an agricultural economy, through the industrial revolution this tiny kingdom expanded to become an expansive colonial empire. After a series of revolutionary wars in the late 1800's and early 1900's, the empire formally let go of nearly every colonial state and is in a slow decline on the global stage.
* **The Kingdom of Alebois** is another constitutional monarchy. Narratively, this nation is known for offering aid to Verseinia during their war for independence. However, as of now, I haven't developed too much of this nations history. More will come at a later date when I've put more thought into this.

### Key Characters

Much of my work has usually been on the national/international scale, so individual characters are not usually developed. There definitely are several of them though from all over history. Below are some of the more important/famous ones and a brief description of them and when they lived.

* **Asíron Imádoryé Mastanéa** is the "main" character of this universe, and the longest-reigning monarch of the Verseinian Sovereignty. He was born in 2016, and lived an impossibly long life, passing away in the year 30,078. He was granted immortality by the gods Aionus and Exetyr in exchange for his dutiful service to them. I could honestly talk about him for hours as he is by far the most developed character, so to read more see his dedicated page.
* **Saranéa Yvonne Eliséivashka Mastanéa** is the wife of Asíron, making her Queen of the Sovereignty. She was also given immortality, and served alongside her husband for nearly 28,000 years. Her most notable accomplishments are her charity work and military service. She is a powerful breaker with an affinity in spatial breaking and regularly uses this power to aid in combat roles or transportation for Asíron.
* **Uriah Kessman** is the founder of the Kessman Group, one of the largest corporations in the galaxy. He was born in 2001, and passed away in 2087. The Kessman Group has a share in nearly every market, and is passed down from father to son, making it somewhat of it's own monarchy. The family is always very closely tied to Asíron and Verseinia due to their unfathomable wealth and influence.
* **Victor Dexetyr Beaulieu** is the last Sovereign of the Verseinian Sovereignty before the nation eventually collapsed. He was born in the year 29,947, and passed away in 30,100 at 153 years old. He started his career in the Verseinian military, and quickly rose the ranks to become the Auxillorator of the Military in 29,992. He and Asíron became close friends, and Victor was one of the Sovereigns closest advisors of his era. When Asíron abdicated the throne in 30,004, he appointed Victor to become the next Sovereign. However, Victor didn't have a desire to rule, and so abdicated as well in 30,012 in favor of the nation electing a president.
* **The Divine Prince and Princess** are the reincarnating, demi-god children of the gods Aionus and Exetyr. The gods created them in the year 100, to serve as the spiritual guides to humanity. Since then they have been continually reincarnating, always being born as twins to a virgin mother whenever the previous pair passes away. Though each reincarnation are unique people, the shared identity and memories of their past lives are awakened at a coming of age ceremony. Because of their semi-immortal nature, they have always been very good friends with Asíron and Saranéa.
* **Yvin Dyavsdov** was the brutal dictator of the People's Federation of Vosonova. He was the Premier during Verseinia's revolutionary war, and is responsible for many of the policies that lead the Verseinian people to revolt. He was born in 1979, and was executed by revolutionaries in 2042 at the age of 63. Yvin is infamous for his cruelty, having ordered the execution of his own father to secure is role as Premier.

### Religions

Within the universe there are several religions, some even with major denominations. Divinism is the primary religion, which has it's own page, but below are some of the other major ones.

* **Eudaimonity** is a religion that does not believe in any gods, but instead believes that the human soul is itself a god. Eudaimons place a great emphasis on purifying the body through a healthy lifestyle and various rites and rituals. They believe in reincarnation and seek to purify themselves in order to achieve enlightenment and end the cycle of rebirth.
* **Devatism** is often considered to be a denomination of Divinism rather than a wholly separate religion. They believe in the same gods, Aionus and Exetyr, and the same afterlife, but place vastly different emphasis' on certain rituals and practices. Where Divinism is chiefly concerned with the advancement of mankind and a fulfilled life, Devatism enshrines ancient traditions and ancestor reverence.
* **Mundaism** is the largest religion that does not believe in the gods Aionus and Exetyr. Mierus, (the term for followers of this faith), believe in myriad gods that are largely tied to local phenomena, landmarks, or personal heritage. They believe these gods, or spirits, inhabit nearly everything and that they are responsible for one's fortune in life.
* **Ameram** is another offshoot of Divinism. Formed by soldiers who witnessed the Battle of Mountain Death and saw Exetyr as a force of destruction, Ameramites venerate Aionus solely as the one true god. They reject the worship of Exetyr and label her as the root cause of all evil.
