Christianity

**Adherents**
 **Origin**
 **Nations with the most adherents**

**Christianity** is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of humanity whose coming as Christ or Messiah was prophesied in the Old Testament.

Christian theology is expressed in ecumenical creeds. These professions of faith state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead, in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins. The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven, where he reigns with God the Father, and that he will return to judge the living and dead and grant eternal life to his followers. His ministry, crucifixion and resurrection are often referred to as "the gospel", meaning "good news". The term *gospel* also refers to written accounts of Jesus's life and teaching, four of which—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are considered canonical and included in the Christian Bible.

Christianity originated in Arveyres during the occupation of Granada by the Eurasian Empire. It is the prevalent religion in Duresia, Aloia and other countries. The religion was established in 33 ECE when Eurasia ordered the crucifixion of Jesus. The early Christians fled to Duresia, where they were protected by the mercenaries and their church grew. Since then, the church has spread and has members on all the continents. Large Christian churches include the Church of Lyria and the Church of Aloia. Few native congregations remain in Arveyres, the oldest active church is the Church of Ascania.
(Event) The Outlaw Guilds

***Outlaw Guild: Lost Brigade***

*NEW YORK, New York, October 04 - CyberConnect Corporation (Nasdaq: CCC), the game production corporation that was previously a subsidiary of ALTIMIT Corporation (Nasdaq: ALT), which is known for games such as The World and the in-development title The World R:2, has announced today that they have found two guilds believed to be linked to the "Ovan Incident." After careful monitoring of Ovan's actions, a trade between him and the guild master of the guild, "Lost Brigade", showed that after, the guild master became infected with the virus known as "AIDA," which has been plaguing The World for the last several months. The other guild, the "Twilight Brigade," is headed by Ovan himself.*
*"If it is found that this guild is indeed supporting Ovan, or even helping spread this virus which he has unleashed upon The World, we will see to it that all accounts are banned and the authorities are informed of their actions" stated Joseph Stacko. Please be on the look out for any members of the Lost Brigade, as they are to be considered dangerous Players.*

Just before the initial recounting of "the Ovan Incident" by CC, Ovan started recruiting members to the guild Twilight Brigade to begin searching for the Key of the Twilight. Ovan earned his nickname "the Deleter" in this time, due to the overwhelming number of players that were deleted because of AIDA.

CyberConnect marked this guild, along with Lost Brigade, a known associate, as "Outlaws," and created the group of AIs called TSN, or The Azure Knights, to track down the guild members and delete them. They also warned any other players to stay clear of both the AI and the the outlaw guilds, to prevent getting in the way or becoming collateral damage.

This event started October 4th of 2007.
Celia, Duchess of Castra Maria

 **Father**
 **Mother**
 **Religion**

**Celia, Duchess of Castra Maria** (Celia Ceforina Fiorina da Virgamo, born 11 May 1991) is the oldest child of Sofia X, Queen of Arveyres and Augustus IV of Eurasia, Emperor of Eurasia. Born illegitimately to the Crown Prince of Eurasia, she was not born into the House of Eurasius, but would be brought up in her mother's House of Virgamo and would be raised by her stepfather, Renato, Duke of Castra Maria, following his marriage to Princess Sofia in late 1991. Celia was educated at the Imperial Preparatory Academy in Civitius and would receive her doctorate degree in pharmacology from the University of Angostura. Celia was made the Duchess of Castra Maria in 2000, following the death of her stepfather, Duke Renato.

Celia would marry Mattia Ibarra on 12 October 2016 in a highly-documented and televised royal wedding, being the first Arveyran royal wedding to be broadcast through television and live-streaming. Princess Celia is the CEO of the Eden Initiative, headquartered in Grand Haven, New Zealand, which she has called home since her marriage in 2016. Due to being a high-level working member of the Arveyran royal family, she often travels between Grand Haven and Angostura, the capital of Arveyres.
Constance

**Capital**
 **Governor**

The **Commonwealth of Constance** is a state of the Kingdom of Aloia. Unlike most of the rest of the Aloian mainland, Constance's cities were not members of the Baltic League. Constance is located in the Aloian peninsula's mountainous center. The capital of Constance is Solingen, located on the shores of Lake Havel, Aloia's highest lake and the source of the Zumbro River.

The state receives its name from the ancient Duchy of Constance, seated in the city of Constance (Konstanz). The duchy of Constance was succeeded by the Constance Confederation, a group of semi-independent cantons. The Confederation was the center of Presbyterianism during the Protestant Reformation. The Confederation officially joined the Kingdom of Aloia in 1654, though the small nation had already acted as an Aloian vassal state for about a hundred years.
Network

The Network contains the system functions that keep The World running.

Using Gate.Hacking, players can access the Network as a field, and use it to travel between the Root Town level restrictions.

Many AI are born and live in The Network, and they have made many changes to the area over the years.

To travel through The Network with best efficiency, you need the five server Network Data keys.

The Network contains two areas known as the Core, and Operation Folder.

Both areas are very important to the continuation of The World, and are not easily accessed by players.

The Network contains a physical link to all 5 of the primary Root Towns, and it's said that it also connects to Phi server, although this has not been proven. Traveling through The Network is just like traveling through any other field, although there are many physical firewalls players must bypass, and many monsters called Data Bugs that must be Data Drained to kill.

Since The World R:1, Network access has been shut off to all players, as Gate.Hacking no longer works or exists.

## Network Lost Grounds

Some areas exist within the Network that are a mirror of the Lost Grounds.

These areas are usually accessed by Gate- or Sign.Hacking at a Lost Ground. This is a list of notable Network Lost Grounds.

### NHFHG

Called "The Network Holyground", this place is accessed by Sign.Hacking at Hulle Granz Cathedral. This area leads to the depths of the system files for The World, and is usually shut off to normal players.

Within the core of this cathedral is a place called Operation Folder, where system functions for The World are parsed.

Since 2008, this area has had several firewalls installed and many safeguards added to prevent player entry, including a large Sign within the core of the cathedral, which prevents any type of .Hacking from occurring within The World.

### The Network Core

The Core is the deepest part of The Network. It is unknown how much of the system resides here, or what really goes on in this place.

Several monitors exist that display read-outs of various information regarding the system functions of the game. The tubes used to contain three rogue AIs.

One might consider this area to be like the brain of The World.

### Operation Folder

This area is the heart and soul of The World. All important system functions, from logging in, to warping, to slashing your sword, start in this area. The bookshelves contain read-outs of various system processes within The World, such as connectivity strength, successfully connected servers, and level of infection throughout the total database.

This area has generally been off-limits to players, as among it's importance, it teaches users how to Area Hack. There are read-outs that are warnings to specific players telling them how it's not nice to cheat.

In the upper right corner of the area, past the second bookcase, a barrier was erected that keeps normal players from passing. The knowledge in the books beyond the barrier is not exactly known.
Danzig

**Capital**
 **Lord Mayor**

The **Imperial City of Danzig** was a state of Aloia.

Formerly an international independent city jointly administered by Aloia and the Kingdom of Bohemia, it lost its independence in 1912, following the Aloian-Bohemian War, when it became a state of Aloia.

In 2020, Danzig was merged with Pomerania as part of the 2020 Constitutional Reforms.
Eurasian Fleets

 **Role**
 **Total strength**
 **March**
 **Predescesor**
 **Establishment**

The *Eurasian Fleets* (Eurasian: *Classis Imperatoria*) is the sea-based armed force of the Military of Eurasia. The Eurasian Fleets are one of the largest and most powerful naval forces in existence, and is frequently deployed to project Eurasian imperial power across the world. Owing to its global nature, the Eurasian Empire has historically relied heavily on its Navy, which caused it to receive nearly the same level of funding as the Eurasian Legions.

The Fleets themselves are ordered in a traditional manner, reminiscent of Germanic patterns insofar as the Germanic patters were inspired by the original Eurasian configurations. Ships, despite their evolution from their ancient namesakes, maintain the same naming patterns as the ships whose roles they fulfilled in the ancient past. The Fleets' domestic counterpart is the Port Guard, who operate as a branch of the Ministry of War as well.

Ships of the Eurasian Fleets do not maintain internal prefix-based distinctions. In English-speaking navies, Eurasian commissioned ships are referred to as IES (*I*mperial *E*urasian *S*hip), non-commissioned vessels as EFS (*E*urasian *F*leet *S*hip), and Port Guard vessels as EPGV (*E*urasian *P*ort *G*uard *V*essel).
Battle of Teithwyr

The **Battle of Teithwyr** (Eurasian: *Praelium Pontis Aelii*; Genevian Celtic: *Brwydr y Teithiwr*) was an armed encounter between the Eurasian Legions, Sarmatian Celtic Militia, and several Slavic militias in Sarmatia, Eurasia. The battle occurred from October 9th through October 14th, 1917, and featured violent fighting as Slavic militias attempted to invade the Eurasian province. The battle ended decisively in Eurasia's favor, and was the last major incident of Celso-Slavic violence in the region.

It began on the morning of October 9th when a communist Slavic militia from Ivania attempted to cross the border near the small hamlet of Mons Teldii (Genevian Celtic: *Merthyr Tydfil*). The local police attempted to stop them, but were fired upon by the militia. The villagers hastily formed a militia under police control, and frantically requested reinforcements from neighboring jurisdictions. In the adjacent prefecture the Legio XX Atera Custodiatrix (Twentieth Guardians of Atera Legion), a decorated Eurasian Legion, was stationed. Hearing of the oncoming hostile militias, and fearing a communist invasion, they were directed by the Praetor of Sarmatia to counter the threat.

The legion deployed en masse and began to drive the Slavs back, but were halted when an irregular Ivanian militia arrived. This necessitated the legion to hurriedly rally reinforcements to avoid losing gains already made, and as such the legate, Decimus Poplius Neta, commissioned the creation of an emergency local auxiliary, the Cohors I Sarmatiana, or First Sarmatian Cohort. The cohort was comprised entirely of local Celtic policemen, former legionaries, huntsmen, and effectively anyone who could hold and fire a firearm. The legion counterattacked and successfully drove the Slavs out of the region by the 14th, enslaving the captured for use on local farms and markets.

In the aftermath, the Emperor Titus IX stationed another legion in the province in addition to the two already stationed there. The incident was also used several years later by Laurentius III to enact several anticommunist laws.
Air Europa

**Air Europa** (Eurasian: *Animus Europus*) is a privately-owned airline in Eurasia. It services all provinces and territories of Eurasia and Arveyres, as well as most other countries in Esamir. It is one of the oldest airlines in the world, founded in 1925. It is named for the mythical figure Europa, impregnated by Jupiter in the form of a majestic, white bull. Air Europa's hub is the Mercurius Rapidator Aerodrome in Julium. With 6,700 flights daily in 2013 and over P147.3 billion in profits, it is the busiest and largest airline in the world.

During the Invasion of New Zealand, flights to Auckland and Christchurch were grounded by the Ministry of Transportation. These routes were reopened in mid-2017. Air Europa was involved in the Air Traffic Controllers Strike of 1981, when air traffic controllers across Eurasia went on strike to demand a 32-hour workweek. The strike, which lasted for forty-eight hours, ended when Emperor Justinius of Eurasia unilaterally fired all air traffic controllers participating in the strike. Air Europa, like many airlines, suffered significant flight delays as the Eurasian Air Force scrambled to provide military air traffic controllers for Eurasian airports while replacements were trained.
Eastmarch

 **Motto**

**Eastmarch Hold** (Dovahzul:**Jer Golt** *"East-Land"*) is one of the nine Holds of Cortoriacum, located along the eastern border. It is one of the four oldest holds in Cortoriacum, known collectively as Old Holds. The major city of Eastmarch is Windhelm, near the northern border. Brunwulf Free-Winter is the Jarl of Windhelm and Eastmarch. Its symbol is a bear's head.

Eastmarch covers much of Cortoriacum's eastern border with the sea. The surrounding holds are Winterhold to the north, The Pale and Whiterun to the west and The Rift to the south. Central/south Eastmarch is a volcanically active area, plains with steaming gas leaking in between cracks in the ground, colorful, mineral filled bodies of water, and geysers. The far west of the hold resembles much of the rest of central Cortoriacum, and to the north a mountainous tundra, where the hold's capital Windhelm lies. The east is composed of the Velothi mountain range, which extends down to the Rift.
Cueva de las Manos World Heritage Park

 **Type of park**

The **Cueva de los Manos World Heritage** **Park**is a World Heritage Park located in western Diamanto, just south of the Aloian state of Patagonia. Cueva de las Manos was originally designated a protected wilderness area under the Nature Preservation Resolution. However, in 2016 the Aloian delegation to the Esamir General Assembly introduced successful legislation, the World Heritage Park Resolution, to convert the park into a World Heritage Park.

## **Features**

The park gets its name (Spanish: *Cueva de las Manos;* English: *Cave of the Hands*) from a series of caves with paintings of human hands. The art in the cave dates to 5,000 to 3,000 years ago. Several waves of people occupied the caves and early artwork has been carbon-dated to ca. 3300 years before present. The age of the paintings was calculated from the remains of bone-made pipes used for spraying the paint on the wall of the cave to create silhouettes of hands.

The park also features the picturesque San Gabriel and Pinturas river valleys. The park also contains the northern extremity of the Coastal Range of the Andes Mountains, in addition to the Interior Andes which pass through the eastern end of the park into Guayaquil and Argentina.

The most popular entrances to the park are located just south of Victoria, Patagonia, and Colombia, Patagonia. The Victoria entrance provides access to the scenic coastal regions of the park while the Colombia entrance goes into the San Gabriel and Pinturas river valleys. The valley of the Pinturas River goes to the actual caves that give Cueva de los Manos its name.
Epitaph User

An Epitaph User, also called an Avatar User, was a regular character who was possessed by one of the entities of the Cursed Wave.

Phases, or "Morganna Factors," were known to move between different users depending on the situation, and they were attracted to players with specific personalities, that matched their epitaph names.

Players who were possessed with the entities were capable of summoning them as an "Avatar," and they would fight on behalf of the player.

It was unknown why or how the players obtained their individual Phases, nor what happened to them after they were lost to their hosts, although it was theorized that they obtained their personal phases from the AI, Morganna Mode Gone.

Most Epitaph Users have had a tremendous influence on The World.

Air Traffic Controllers Strike of 1981

The **Air Traffic Controllers Strike of 1981** (Eurasian: *Clamus Magnus Aeronavigans MCMLXXXI*) was a labor strike which took place in Eurasia from August 3rd, 1981 to August 5th. Initiated by air traffic controllers in Arveyres, 11,345 air traffic controllers throughout the Eurasian Empire went on strike to protest what they felt was too long a workweek. In Eurasia, air traffic controllers are employees of the Ministry of Transportation and not of the individual airlines. The strike immediately ground all air traffic in Eurasia to a halt, causing an imperial crisis.

Alarmed by the situation, Emperor of Eurasia Justinius issued an Imperial Writ ordering the controllers back to work, calling the strike a "peril to imperial stability." Only around 1,300 returned to work, with the rest remaining on-strike. At 10:55 am that morning, Justinius went before television cameras and stated, "Let me read the solemn oath taken by each of these malingerers, a sworn affidavit before Jupiter himself, when they accepted their stations: 'I am not participating in any strike against the Government of the Empire of Eurasia or any ministry thereof, and I will not so participate while an employee of the Government of the Empire of Eurasia or any ministry thereof.'" He then demanded the striking controllers return to work within 48 hours or their positions would be forfeit. The Ministry of Transportation then began preparations to staff the airports with military air traffic controllers to make up for the lack of civilian controllers, requesting the Eurasian Air Force make available all controllers not involved in critical military operations. By doing so, 50% of grounded flights were able to complete their routes, albeit delayed.

On August 5th, with the controllers having failed to return to work, Justinius issued a writ terminating the employment of the 11,345 controllers still on-strike, as well as prohibiting, on penalty of imprisonment, their future employment by the Government of Eurasia for the rest of their lives. In the wake of the strike and mass firings, the Bureau of Aviation Administration was faced with the task of hiring and training enough controllers to replace those that had been fired, a hard problem to fix as, at the time, it took three years in normal conditions to train a new controller. They were replaced initially with non-participating controllers, supervisors, staff personnel, some non-rated personnel, and in some cases by controllers transferred temporarily from other facilities. Some military controllers were also used until replacements could be trained. The BAA had initially claimed that staffing levels would be restored within two years; however, it would take closer to ten years before the overall staffing levels returned to normal.

Some former controllers were granted clemency by Justinius in 1986, but the majority were still barred. The ban on the remaining controllers was lifted in a Saturnalia clemency by Justinius' successor, Augustus IV of Eurasia, in 2010.

Ceres (Maiorism)

**Ceres** is the Maiorist goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. She is often associated with Her daughter, Prosperina, who was seduced by Pluto. Her seven-day festival, Cerealia, is held in April, and features the popular *Ludi Cerialis*, or Ceres' Games. She is also honored during the Ambarvalia festival, during Maiorist marriages, and during funerals.

She is the only agricultural deity to be listed in the Dii Consentes, though Mars does have some agricultural attributes. Ceres is the patron deity of mothers, matrons, and farmers. It is customary to offer Her a portion of the first crops yielded during the harvest.

E. G. McKenna

**Ephraim George McKenna** (17 June 1801 - 17 April 1888) was an Aloian archaeologist and politician. He served as Chancellor of Aloia from 1868 to 1872. McKenna was a Federalist.

McKenna was born to a Church of Aloia minister and his Arveyran wife in Sharon Springs, Konza. McKenna was educated at Konza State University, then known as Konza State College, and the University of Konza. He studied to be an archaeologist. During his career as an archaeologist, he was part of the famous multinational team that rediscovered and publicized the Cave of the Hands in western Diamanto, south of the Argentine Republic.

In 1850, he was recalled from the field by Queen Victoria Augusta to be her cultural advisor as she went about rebuilding and reshaping Zumbrota into the capital of the Aloian Empire. He thrived in that role, becoming intimately involved in many of the issues that shaped Zumbrotan society and culture in the beginning of its days as the capital. He was eventually elected mayor of Zumbrota in 1860.

He was elected Chancellor of Aloia in 1868 as a Federalist. Historians have often suggested his election was part of an elaborate effort by Queen Victoria and other top politicians who had constantly clashed with previous Chancellor Milton Waite. McKenna was highly respected throughout the country for his time in Zumbrota. McKenna oversaw the annexation of Natal in 1871. McKenna didn't seek re-election and was succeeded by Otto von Halle.

After his time as Chancellor, McKenna went to Konza State University to teach archaeology. He died in 1888 in LaCrosse, Konza.
Christchurch

**State**
 **Population**
 **Notable structures**

**Christchurch** is the capital and largest city of the Aloian state of Wessex. Christchurch was named for Christ Church Cathedral. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Christchurch. In 2015, the population was 365,000 people. Other large and rapidly growing cities are located along Wessex's southern border with Victoria. These suburbs of Zumbrota are expected to surpass Christchurch in size soon.

Christchurch is situated on the Zumbro River, but since it's above the fall line, river transportation has only been a minor industry in the city. Christchurch was also the site of a major battle of the Aloian Civil War.

## **Notable people**

* Victoria Choi, Prime Minister of Arveyres, was raised near Christchurch.
* Hans-Erik Painter, Governor of Constance, was born in Christchurch.
Bonneville Salt Flats

The **Bonneville Salt Flats** is a densely packed salt pan in Salinas Count in northeastern Patagonia. The area is a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville and is the largest of many salt flats located south of the Great Salt Lakes. The property is public land managed by the Ministry of the Interior and is known for land speed records set at the "Bonneville Speedway".

The area was named for the nearby city of Bonneville, Patagonia. Numerous land speed records have been set by international teams traveling to Bonneville. Drivers come to Bonneville for the unique conditions there that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Lilt

Lilt was an AI, and was supposedly the brother of the entity known as Ombra .

It first existed on Joe Stacko's server.

While erratic, his speech was not incomprehensible, though his intentions certainly weren't clear. His first appearance was in Mac Anu, where he told of "once being like one of you (PCs)," and wanting to set fire to the town.

Subsequent encounters with him yielded no discernible insight as to his goals or actions, despite seeming to take a liking to the user Feral Ferocity (and Silver, to a lesser extent).

Seems to have an extreme dislike for Turtleman, as he would demand the user to leave on later encounters.

Adelaide, Duchess of Braunsberg

**Spouse**
 **Issue**
 **Royal house**
 **Religion**

**Princess Adelaide of Aloia, Duchess of Braunsberg** (Adelaide Catherine Louise Augusta; 7 April 1853 - 28 March 1884) was the eighth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria Augusta of Aloia and Prince Henry. Adelaide was created Duchess of Braunsberg. She had hemophilia, which led to her death at age 30. The city of Adelaide in South Vinland was named in her memory in 1886.

Adelaide had one son, Nicholas, who reigned as Duke of Braunsberg after Adelaide's death. Nicholas had four children, three of which died as a result of the hemophilia they inherited from Adelaide.
Cleansing of the High Fane

The **Cleansing of the High Fane** (Eurasian: *Detersio Fanis Altis*) was a military engagement which ended the War of the Numantine between Eurasia and the Imbrispi Confederation. It involved Eurasian forces attacking Fane Vilvoore, which was the cultural and military capital of the Imbrispi, and succeeding in capturing and destroying it. The battle resulted in the complete destruction of the Imbrispi, both as a political entity and as a culture. They were driven north from their former lands into Duresia following the end of the war.

The war itself involved some of the most innovative battlefield engineering seen up to that point in history. The Eurasian legions engineered several sapping tunnels which ran underneath the walls of the fortress, which were carved through solid limestone and still stand today. A large siege ramp was also constructed using local slave labor to scale the walls, and resulted in the Eurasians completely surpassing local defenses.
Arkay

**Arkay** or **Ark'ay** (Eurasian: *Archaius*), colloquially known as the **God of the Cycle of Birth and Death**, is a god in Novem Deos, representing the qualities of birth and death. Arkay is a popular deity amongst the Nine Divines, and is widely seen as one of the most benevolent and loving gods. Arkay is a staunch opponent of Daedra worship and necromancy, and is seen as a god of human fertility and light. He is viewed as man's god.

The origin of Arkay is widely questioned, however the Temple of the One dictates that Arkay was apotheosed. This belief states that Arkay was an ordinary shopkeeper who was granted apotheosis by Mara. However, as Mara is believed to be the wife of Akatosh, it is also entirely possible that Arkay was born a god of Mara and Akatosh and was never apotheosed. Another theory suggests that Arkay was one of the original gods to have crystallized in the Beginning Place, and that Akatosh's fatherhood of him is merely a parable. In either case, it is believed that he did not exist prior to the creation of the Earth, and as such he is viewed as the Mortal's God.
Cacusian Nuclear Displosal Facility

The **Cacusian Nuclear Disposal Facility** (Eurasian: *Instalatio Eliminationis Nuclearis Cacis*) is a facility in Tolbiacum, Eurasia, which houses nuclear waste produced by the Eurasian Empire. It is one of the largest facilities in the world dedicated to this purpose and was constructed near the Spoletium Exclusion Zone. It is designed to be self-contained for at a minimum 10,000 years, at which point the waste inside will have decayed sufficiently to no longer be as dangerous. The facility services all of Eurasia and Arveyres.

The facility features several warning mechanisms, written in the six largest languages of the United Nations of Esamir, as well as the native dialect, as well as the national languages of Arveyres. It reads:
Dibellan Arts

The **Dibellan Arts** (Eurasian: *Liber Dibellana*; Dovahzul: *Kellesebrii*, lit. "Scrolls of Beauty") is an apocryphal tome purported to be written by the Deosian goddess Dibella, whose realm is beauty and sexuality. It is believed that many copies of the book exist, but the "official" copy has never been acknowledged by the Temple of the One, and most copies available today are considered forgeries.

The book is believed to be a sort of instruction manual for practicing the Dibellan Arts, which are a series of taboo sexual acts meant to honor the goddess Dibella. While not taboo in Maorist Eurasia, it is somewhat taboo in Deosian society, as Dibella is viewed as more a goddess of lust and sultriness than sensuality. In the words of the Temple of the One, "Holy Dibella is the goddess of sexual love, whereas Mother Mara is the goddess of maternal love."

The most widely available copy is a translated version of a text from the 1100s written in Dovahzul, and is believed by Imperial scholars to be a highly sanitized version of the original texts.

## Example Text

One of the few pieces acknowledged by the Priesthood of Dibella as "quasi-accurate" is taken from the aforementioned Kellesebrii, which reads:

"*Ol faal Jovinne dreh koh nid drehheselaas ful faal Dibaal uth hi tol zin rek. Dreh laas ol faal Bromjunaarsedreh zin faal Revak Ofaanselaas.*"

"Just as the Jovians [Maorists] engage in the forbidden forms of amatory, so too doth Holy Dibella commandeth thee to do so to honor her. To make love in the manner of the Civitian manner glorifies the Sacred Lover."

The term "Jovians" refers to Maorists. The phrase "Civilian manner" is more complex, as at the time in Eurasia it referred more to male-male pederasty or sodomy, but in Civitius and Cortoriacum it was understood to imply consensual sexual intercourse between a man and woman involving the anus of either party. The Eurasian term at the time would have been "*pathicii*", from the word "*pathicus*," meaning submissive partner or sexual submission.
Arcadia

**Capital**
 **Largest city**
 **Governor**

The **Commonwealth of Arcadia** is a state of Aloia. The capital is Jamestown and largest city is Capetown.

Arcadia is located in the southwest of the island of Anacostia. The state was named by settlers for the literary concept of *Arcadia*, an idyllic pastoral land. Arcadia was a common theme in Aloian literature of the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Erik of Uppsala

**Erik** **of** **Uppsala**, also called *Erik the Lawgiver, Saint Erik,*and *Erik the Holy,* was a Anglian king and the Duke of Uppsala. Not much is verifiably known about Erik, and most information about him is based on later accounts which aimed to promote his canonization as a saint. A popular tale about him is the story of King Erik and the waves.

What is known is that Erik was the Duke of Uppsala and the King of Anglia. Erik issued a series of laws to promote order and solidarity in the expanding kingdom. He was killed by one of his rivals as he left church in Uppsala. In later centuries he became a focus of veneration and Anglian, and later Aloian, nationalism. The city of Erikskrona, Svea, is named for him, as well as numerous churches and other things throughout Aloia.

Free-Winter has attempted an open rule in Eastmarch, but this has suffered from deep mistrust from the people of Eastmarch, who view him as a Eurasian-appointed figurehead.
Dawnstar

**Dawnstar** (Dovahzul: *Kunsevu*) is the capital of The Pale, a hold of Cortoriacum, Eurasia. It is the largest city in The Pale, and is one of the most important ports in Cortoriacum. It is the seat from which Skald the Elder rules the pale.

The city itself is frequently buffeted by the cold arctic winds, and as such is almost completely covered in snowfall year round, except during the summer months in the south. The city was the location of the Vaermina Controversy of 1897, which involved a cult of Vaermina worshippers active in an abandoned Legionary fort northeast of the city. The cult was eradicated by the Vigilants of Stendarr and the Penitus Occulatus.
Endeavour Bay

**Endeavour Bay** is a body of water in the sea east of Attica. Endeavour Bay is a center of sea trade, as it connects to Georgiou's harbor. Georgiou is the largest city in Aloian Anacostia and a major port city, located at an isthmus between Vinland and the Olympic peninsula.

Together with Discovery Bay, Endeavour Bay is one of Attica's two East Bays.
Apocrypha

**Apocrypha** (Eurasian: *Apocrypha*; Dovahzul: *Rokkesevokun*) is a realm of Oblivion created and ruled over by Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and Fate. It is an endless library consisting of untitled books with black covers, where all forbidden knowledge can be found. The realm is haunted by the ghosts of mortals forever searching for knowledge. Stacks of books form mazes and spiraling pillars that can reach as high as the illuminating green sky. Intricate ruins and monstrous carvings can be found among the stacks. The plane is covered in a sea of ink and roiling tentacles, while Hermaeus Mora is omnipresent over all. Some areas of the realm are consumed by darkness which can kill any who enter it. Discarded pages and floating tomes fill the air.

The realm is feared by Deosians, and is believed to be almost entirely inaccessible to mortals. It is said that those who travel in the realm will be driven mad by the boon of knowledge to be found, and will become ensnared in the endless rows of books and scrolls.
Argentine Republic

The **Argentine Republic**, commonly referred to as **(the) Argentine**or **Argentina**, is a former nation located in the western continent of Diamanto. The nation, a former colony of Aloia, was a major power in Diamanto. The nation took its name from the Argentine River, a river named for the abundant silver deposits.

The nation's history was closely tied to the 21 missions established by Spanish-speaking priests of the Church of Aloia in the 18th and 19th centuries. The priests were members of the Brotherhood of St. Francis, the Spanish-speaking division of the Saxon Order. The missions were mostly concentrated along the southern coast and in the valleys of the Argentine, Sacramento, and Soledad rivers.

In the early 21st century, the nation faced massive national disasters, including a level 8.4 earthquake in 2003, the crash of their stock market in 2008, and a corruption scandal in 2010 which resulted in the prime minister, almost half of the members of Parliament, and a number of other high ranking officials being removed from office. The largest and most populous province, Patagonia, voted to leave the Argentine Republic in 2011 and joined the Kingdom of Aloia in 2012. The Republic formally dissolved the following year, with the remaining provinces forming an association called the Free States of Argentine. Two provinces, Tahoe and Pampas, voted to join the Kingdom of Aloia in 2016. In 2017, the five remaining Free States, Honduras, Campostella, Sonora, Salinas, and Aransas, all voted to follow the other three states and join the Kingdom of Aloia. Following that final unification, the Free States of Argentine became officially defunct and all its members became states of Aloia.

## **Name and etymology**

The names "Argentine" and "Argentina" are derived from Eurasian *argentum* ("silver", plata in Spanish), a noun associated with the region's vast silver deposits. The Argentine Republic and her successors take their name from Argentine Bay and the Argentine River, a river in modern Patagonia, and which forms the border between Pampas and Tajo.

The region was first referred to as *La Argentina*in 1784, by Fr. Luis Delgado, who was the priest at the Buenos Aires mission. As the Church of Aloia started to send English-speaking priests instead of the Spanish-speakers, English became the dominant language. The now English-speaking residents of the region began to refer to it as *the Argentine*, mimicking the typical Spanish usage of *La Argentina*. When the region gained independence from Aloia, they dropped the definite article and used Argentine and Argentina interchangeably, a situation which still exists. However, Argentine is the preferred noun.
ERail Corporation

The **ERail Corporation** (Eurasian: *Ferriviae Eurasianarum*) is a privately-owned railway corporation in Eurasia. It is the largest locomotive corporation in the country, and is responsible for the majority of railway traffic. It was founded in 1896 as the Civitian Locomotive Company, and has since grown to dominate the Eurasian transportation industry.

The ERAil Corporation provides transportation throughout the central Eurasian Empire, including through undersea tunnels to the Vesperian Shield, Genevevia, and all other Eurasian provinces except for the Superior Province of the Outer Regions. It is headquartered in Arbor Felix, Civitius.
Bureau of the Census (Eurasia)

The **Bureau of the Census** (Eurasian: *Dicasterium censorum*) is a division of the Ministry of the Treasury of Eurasia. It is responsible for overseeing the actions of the censors during the Eurasian Census.

It is one of the oldest Eurasian government institutions, and has existed in one form or another since the Laurentine Republic. It is headed by the Supreme Censor of Eurasia, the highest centuriate magistrate in the Empire. Each censor of the Prefectures of Eurasia is an agent of the Bureau, and it oversees the implementation of centuriate procedures as well as tabulating the data for use by the Treasury Ministry.
Benjamin Hart

**Benjamin** **Hart,** **1st** **Duke** **of** **Minnetonka** (10 July 1880 - 10 January 1986) was an Aloian politician who served as Chancellor of Aloia from 1937 to 1949 and Governor of Anglia from 1923 to 1937 and from 1955 to 1963. Hart was Chancellor throughout most of the Great War and managed to minimize the amount of blood lost by Aloians. Hart was the steady and intelligent leader the nation needed as it maneuvered the deadliest conflict in human history. Hart was a member of the Conservative Party. His first Vice Chancellor was Francis Jones and his second Vice Chancellor was Hal Neuberg.

Hart was born in San Francisco, the capital of the Argentine Republic, the son of the Aloian Ambassador to the Argentine Republic. Hart's father Peter Hart was appointed Minister of State in 1889, so the Hart family moved to Zumbrota, the capital of Aloia. The younger Hart grew up with foreign heads of state visiting his home and as a childhood playmate of future King Christian X. Hart married Gustaf's sister, Princess Eleanor. Upon his marriage to Eleanor, King Erik XIII made him the first Duke of Minnetonka.

As a member of a devout Free Lutheran household, Hart attended Augsburg College to study political science and biblical studies. Hart then attended Bethel University and received his law degree in 1903. Hart practiced law for 5 years before being elected to the Senate of Aloia in 1908, representing the Lake Nokomis neighborhood of Minneapolis. Hart was then elected to the High Council of Aloia, representing Anglia in 1916. In 1922, he was elected Governor of Anglia. He served as Governor of Anglia for 14 years.

He ran for, and was elected, Chancellor of Aloia in 1936, against the backdrop of the beginning of the Great War. Hart was re-elected twice and led the country through the war, relatively unscathed. After the war ended, he announced he would end his time as Chancellor at the end of his term. His Vice Chancellor Hal Neuberg succeeded him on 10 January 1949.

Hart retired to his home in the Lake Nokomis neighborhood of Minneapolis. In 1954, he was approached again by the Conservative Party about pursuing the Governorship of Anglia again. He ran and was easily elected. Hart served as Governor of Anglia again for two terms, from 1955 to 1963.

An old friend and brother-in-law of King Gustaf XV, Hart was often consulted by the King over policy matters, even well into Hart's retirement. Hart lived to be 105 years old, the longest-lived Aloian head of government. He died in 1986 and was buried alongside his wife at the Heiligenburg Palace cemetery, at the request of his great-nephew, King Christian XI.
