Cryseilis Holy Kingdom

The **Cryseilis Holy Kingdom** (also known as the **Sacred Kingdom of Great Cryseilis**) is an island nation located in far southeast from the Civilized Regions, about a thousand miles (1609 km) southeast of the Kingdom of Silkark, and about three thousand miles (4828 km) southeast of Florida. It's located on a cross shaped island roughly 500 km long and 500 km wide.

## History

Centuries ago, the people who will establish the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom fled the continents that made up the 3 Civilized Regions today seeking refuge from the Demon Lord Nosgrath's unstoppable might. Due its relative isolation from the rest of Elysia, the Cryseilians never learned of Nosgraths defeats at the hands of the Americans. Despite so the kingdom flourished into a lively and well developed regional power with the combination of Arcane and technology. In recent days, the Kingdom's political system is divided into two factions, one lead by Warlord Minette who propose a campaign of militaristic expansion and believing that the New World is full of weak nations ripe for the taking; and one lead by Divine King Geuge, Princess Neith and Minister Tatchell proposes to set aside the ways of the past and instead opt for peaceful diplomacy.

However,, the Kingdom's increasing expenditures has placed a strain on its economy, and thus it was determined necessary for the Kingdom to expand further northwestward. However, the information the Cryseilians possess are incredibly dated as it's based primarily on a Parpaldian ship that has ran aground on their shores long ago, and thus they likely have no knowledge of the more recent events occurring on Elysia, such as the sudden arrival of the United States of America, the defeat of the Parpaldian Empire at the hands of the Americans, and the ongoing war between the Gra Valkas Empire and the Elysian Defense Initiative. And as such, they were quick to find the United States' similarity and divergence from their Arcane based technology fascinating. With that in consideration, Minister Tatchell proposed peaceful, trade-based solutions to resolve their economic troubles, and refrain from relying on premature assumptions, lest they make new unknown enemies.

## Geography

The Cryseilian nation is very isolated not only because of its distance from the Civilized Regions but also because of strong ocean currents that made it treacherous for most ships to navigate their waters. However, those that have developed sufficiently powerful propulsion systems such as Mu, the Holy Mirishial Empire, the Gra Valkas Empire and the United States are supposedly capable of navigating these stretches of rough sea.

## Chronology

On December 19th, 1640 (2022), the Americans detected 3 Cryseilian airships departing from their homeland towards an unaffiliated island in the South Pacific, two thousand miles (3219 km) southeast of Rodenius and a few hundred miles away from the Republic of Varkland. The exact intentions of the aerial warfleet is unknown, the Americans assume it's likely for exploration or diplomacy. This fleet was later revealed to be the Cryseilian New World Development Fleet, dispatched to the Kingdom of Silkark searching for resource deposits and potential trade partners.

## Technology

While Elysia's standard geography based classification system would have categorized the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom as a Barbarin Nation, they are in fact far more advanced than most of the nations within their vicinity.

A particular magitek marvel of the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom is their aerial warship, which according to the Americans resembled an enlarged yet primitive looking V-22 Osprey tiltrotor. The airship apparently uses rotary wings for propulsion and lift generation, but most likely uses magic in conjunction due to their lacking aerodynamics and underpowered engine, they have a cruising speed of about 150mph. But regardless, these airships provide the Cryseilians with a massive advantage against sailing ships and wyverns operated by most nations within the 3rd Civilized Region and beyond. The ship also incorporates advanced defensive magic as well as magical weaponry much like Mirishial warhips, albeit they consume a large amount of power per use. These airships are primarily used for military purposes, as such the Cryseilians found America's robust civil aviation highly impressive.

The Cryseilians are also capable of operating Magnetic Conductive Radar, technology that is normally only fielded by the Ravernal Empire and their descendants. However it's said that the models fielded by the Cryseilians are more outdated ones with relatively short range. Their communication systems are also magic based but can be tuned to the correct frequency to message American radios.
