Nidev the Vain

## Nidev

**Prince Nidev the Vain** was one of the Perfect Princes ruling the outskirts of Naga Space in the late 4th century A.U.. He earned his title for the labyrinth of mirrors in which he ensconced himself, some say so that he would never need to behold a face other than his own. Nidev would not allow any to meet his gaze nor even to look upon him indirectly.

## History

Prince Nidev exhibited considerable psionic power, including the ability to possess and thus command small fleets and hundreds of men over vast distances in the aether, and indeed to affect other powerful psionics like Banshee the Blind over the same distance with the aid of such artifacts as the petrified Eye of the Anathema.

Though doubtless as arrogant and self-loving as any Perfect Prince, there may be reason to think that Nidev's labyrinth and strict rules on beholding him were not mere vanity: his connection to the Anathema seemed linked to sight, and whether Nidev was a voluntary servant of the Anathema or a slave was far from clear. Migna the Renegade, though far from direct in describing her time as Nidev's Chancellor, seemed at the least to suggest that she had ended the relationship by destroying much of the labyrinth and that Nidev, rather than exploding into a narcissistic rage had wept with fear at the result.
O'Callaghan

**O'Callaghan** was (together with McFitzpatrick) one half of a pair of halflings who fought in the Irish War of Independence as members of the Karma Kameleons. McFitzpatrick was killed during The Irish Campaign by The Aeldrum Dragoons.

Lechtan Uprising

The **Lechtan Uprising** began as a result of The Seer Crisis around 1770 C.A..

## Background

Adalna’s great silence slowly entered into academic discourse on the fringes of the Imperium, though all discussion was severely repressed on Aeldrum proper. Various Seers and unsanctioned psionics claimed to hear her voice, and some went as far as to rebel against The Seer Council. Though such “Revivalist” heresies were usually short-lived and brutally curtailed by the Inquisition.

One Revivalist Seer, Corron Lecht, claimed to be an avatar of Adalna and transformed his supposed connection to the goddess into a full crusade against the “imposter council” that ruled Aeldrum. "Lechtan" uprisings occurred across the Imperium, but the heresy had its roots in The Norelle Sector, where Lecht had untold followers and even managed to sabotage naval sites and seize ships to build his "Revival Fleet." His ultimate ambition was nothing short of taking Aeldrum and installing himself as an absolute theocrat.
Octavo Seldonius

**Prince Octavo Seldonius** was the younger brother of Emperor Mithranatus, serving as the communications and counter-comms guy for the Second Fialta Imperium during the First Coalition War. He was pro-progress and military modernization. Prior to the war, he was wounded in an experiment gone wrong that also killed the emperor’s favorite son.

Nebai Industries

**Nebai Industries** (also known as **Nebai Technologies** or the **Nebai Consortium**) was a Aeldrum megacorporation and Industrial-State Cooperative founded and led by industrialist and politician Chella Nebai.

## History

### CompuNav

Nebai Industries originally began as **CompuNav**, a technology company created by Nebai in the 370s A.U. and specializing in mechanical, etheric, and biological computers. After originally focusing on automated navigation and mapping, the company then expanded into various mechanical and etheric computing applications. Later, using the connection between genetics and the soul, CompuNav developed a line of biocomputers, using primitive organisms (gossamers, slime molds, etc.) with tweaked gene markers to create a distributed soul computing system that was immune to typical possession-hacking.

### Nebai Industries

CompuNav was reincorporated into Nebai Industries in the early 5th century, becoming a more general technology company and absorbing many of Aeldrum's other key technical corporations. In the early 440s A.U. it was the Serene Duchy's third-largest company (after Mossag Industries and General Etheric).
Lavrency Beriak

**Lavrency Beriak** was the Empire of Alusia's Head of Internal Affairs during the mid-400s A.U.

## History

Beriak worked primarily in an administrative roll, making sure state projects ran smoothly. Additionally, he served as oversight for matters regarding national well-being and civil unrest.

He died on Reilla in 453 A.U., during the Alusian-Shantine War. After fending off an assassination attempt by Seraphim agents of the Knights of Adarnum, Beriak killed himself with a cyanide pill to avoid being stabbed to death by Shantaran cultists.
Milgar

**Milgar** refers both to a Pocket Dimension and, in the Imperial era, to a substate consisting of an additional ten minor worldsin The Hybern Sector. It was ruled by House Semokku during much of the late Mage Imperium period.

## Locations

### Grand Milgar

*Main article: Grand Milgar*
Grand Milgar was Milgar's capital during the late Mage Imperium.

### Limont

*Main article: Limont*
Limont was once a great city of Dalthad, the Genteel Lord of the Pentacle; it and its client states were a cultural and military bulwark against total Kirvan domination of Milgar for centuries before the Imperial occupation.

## History

### Mage Imperium

The Governorship of Milgar constituted a regional power within the Mage Imperium. Milgar was subdued and incorporated into the Mage Imperium around 1400 C.A., and was ruled by House Semokku since around 1450 C.A.

### Milgravian War of Succession

*Main article: Milgravian War of Succession*
The Milgravian Civil War was sparked to determine whether House Keith or House Semokku would govern the Milgar Substate.

There are persistent rumors of sentient lizards establishing colonies under Milgar's control on some planets. The Blood Sap operation is heavily influenced by the Hybern Development Consortium, which helped rebuild Milgar after the civil war.

#### Military Forces During Milgravian War of Succession

Fleet:

* 3 Warships
* 20 Frigates
* 25 Upgunned merchantmen

Ground Forces:

* 200,000 Imperial Marines (100k on Milgar, 100k on surrounding territories)
* Various semi-sanctioned auxiliary forces

### Fialta-Shantine War

*Main article: Fialta-Shantine War*
Milgar became a major battleground in the Fialta-Shantine War. A resource-rich world recently added to the Shantine Empire as a protectorate, holding Milgar forced the Fialta to defend a considerably longer supply line to Zanevuela, vulnerable to attacks by Shantine privateers and freelance pirates.

## Notes

1. ↑ When referring to Milgar and its territories, it is most often referred to as "The Milgar Substate".

Owen Roe

**Owen Roe** was a hero of the Restoration of the Seventh Spire.

## Early Life

Owen was born in the Irish Free Republic to a family of Irish freedom fighters. Owen spent much of his youth fighting alongside his family during The First Irish Civil War - taking up the Irish traditions of bomb making, smuggling, and assassination. The best shot of his siblings, his father gave Owen his well tempered service pistol after the war, which he carried with him on all of his journeys.

Owen was first employed as a member of the Free State Mercenary Force, an organization comprised primarily of out of work former insurgents, who used their skills in the service of well paying benefactors. There, Owen smuggled, assassinated, and bombed until he had saved enough to look for work in the more prestigious places.

## Adventures on Aeldrum

*For more information, see The Aeldrum Campaign*

## Later Life

It is not known what became of Owen Roe in the 7th Spire. Some say that he walked as a god among the many strange creatures which fled from the spire. Others claim that they found a massive scorch mark where he must have, in a final act of desperation and madness, detonated his entire explosive cache at once.

The truth of these tales has been lost to history.

## Personality

Owen was known for his steady gun hand and his smooth tongue, yet he was an intellectual and thoughtful person beneath his rough brogue. Skilled in the arts of persuasion, business, and craftsmanship, Owen was quick to take up anything to which he tried his hand.

He was something of a drunk, and always carried a bottle of whiskey to make sure that he could get a fix in a pinch. He also enjoyed tobacco and often thoughtfully chewed on his favorite pipe (unlit, for safety) while tinkering with his explosives or planning his next attack.

Owen's favorite tactic was to drop smoke grenades to confuse his opponents and gain an advantage on them.

## Rumors

It is possible, assuming he survived, that Owen went on to found the DUOC, Aeldrum's black operations command. Using his experiences as a guerrilla and a member of the Free State Army, he could have created a cutting edge special operations force that fully utilized the potential of firearms and steam vehicles. Ironically, this would mean that he contributed significantly to the modernization of Aeldrum's army - which eventually led to the fall of the Irish Free State.

New Reilla

**New Reilla** is a pocket dimension in Celestial Space.

## History

New Reilla was colonized by the Empire of Alusia as part of Outer Alusia, during the wave of colonial expansion by Imperial powers that took place in the latter half of the 5th century. It is named after Reilla, a major Alusian pocket dimension in Imperial Space.

New Reilla's etheric gate opens onto Ley Line 10 near two different etheric conduits: The Greater Alusian Conduit, linking Outer Alusia to Imperial Space, and the Lesser Alusian Conduit, linking to Ley Line 13 near New Sierna.
Orcish-Fialta Wars

The **Orcish-Fialta Wars** (also known as the **Great Orcish-Fialta War** or **Urlek's War**) were a series of conflicts in the 240s A.U. in Imperial Space.

## History

The Orcish-Fialta Wars began with an invasion into the Fialta States by orcish tribes led by the warlord Urlek Thar, representing the last cosmic-scale military incursion by shamanistic orcish populations. The wars led to the founding of both the Orcish Directorate and the Thalranese Marches.
Octavia

**Octavia** was a member of the Court of the Second Fialta Imperium and head of the Fialta Security Bureau. After her meteoric rise to power culminated in leadership of the FSB in the mid-400s, she took an early retirement to be the inaugural head of the Networked-Etheric Security Academy (NSA).

## History

Born to a human Kirvan family in the in the former Shantine Protectorates, Octavia fled her family early and was a member of various, minor criminal gangs and enterprises on her home world. She also began questioning her Kirvan faith and quietly converted to the Church of Dalthad shortly thereafter.

### Early Professional Career

After a risky smuggling operation brought her to an Imperial world, one particularly bad set of circumstances landed her in the custody of the Fialta Security Bureau at the age of 20. She was given a choice—face certain imprisonment or prosecution, or act as a mole so the FSB could round up the rest of the gang.

Not being the sentimental type, Octavia chose the latter. FSB lore states that her handler was so impressed with her skill as a double agent that they soon gave her a job as junior field agent, recruiting and managing low-level contacts among the criminal underworld.

### Leadership

After several successful operations, her star rose within the organization. Proceeding to work as an agent runner, propagandist, and analyst, she worked her way up to a senior rank at an exceptionally young age. This was much to the displeasure of many in the (predominantly Othali) old guard of the organization who attempted to hamstring her rise to power, leading to Octavia's career-long dislike of the Othali.

### Coup and Neptos' Reign

Her cunning caught the eye of Emperor Asterion's counterintelligence detail, for whom she worked until shortly before the Emperor's attempted assassination and coup. While Octavia had the chance to escape alongside Asterion, she decided to stay and later accepted the new Emperor's offer to head the FSB.

While on Phillip Neptos' cabinet, Octavia played a key role in the Imperium's response to conflicts of the mid-400s, both as chief propagandist and spymaster. Perhaps her most lasting impact on the cosmos, her covert influence operations on Aeldrum through contacts in the press indirectly led to the rise of Chella Nebai and hastened the eventual retirement of Serene Doge Manuel Emiir.

### Retirement

An early adopter of Ethernet espionage and propaganda techniques, Octavia retired from the FSB after founding the Networked-Etheric Security Academy. Built in partnership with the Church of Dalthad and the Imperium's new wave of Fialta academies, the NSA helped cement the Imperium as a new center of learning—and, many say, as a continued source of covert influence in this new medium.

## Trivia

Octavia is named after a street near Nathaniel's house in San Francisco.
Olympias

**Olympias** was the mother of Cato Tullius Nars, and (secretly) the bastard daughter of Emperor Tiel'Fialt of the Second Fialta Imperium.

## History

Olympias was the daughter of the Shantaran Archpriest Sylettis Alantaris (then in female form), who seduced Tiel'Fialt (then still Mithranatus) in the guise of a camp courtesan during the early Fialta-Shantine War. Olympias, being female and visibly elvish could not hope to claim the Fialta throne, but she resolved to position her son(s) (Cato had an identical twin brother kept hidden from public knowledge) to claim the throne in her stead (indeed, Cato himself lived in fear that his mother might have him assassinated or imprisoned and replaced with his slow-witted, pliable twin).

When Olympias came of age, she was positioned by Sylettis to marry one of the new Imperium's grandees, one of Tiel'Fialt's younger generals. After the birth of her children, Olympias conspired to have the Crown Prince of the Imperium, Constantinus son of Tiel'Fialt, assassinated. The assassination was successful, but the Emperor's spymaster, Prince Rogers, used his connection to Othal to discern the cause of the assassination: rather than report it to the Emperor, however, Prince Rogers confirmed that the incident was an accident (thus also tacitly placing some responsibility on Imperial Prince Octavo, the Emperor's brother and chief engineer) and, believing that Olympias's husband was responsible, proceeded to blackmail him into ceding his lands and resources to the Rogers dynasty. Olympias, disgusted at her husband's weakness and feeling herself to have been manipulated by Sylettis and the Shantaran Church, assassinated him (the matter was made to resemble a suicide) before faking her own suicide and disappearing into obscurity, hiding herself even from the Shantarans.

Olympias emerged some years later under an assumed name, having seduced and married a minor prince of the Imperium; she then proceeded to steer her new husband's territorial and political expansion until shortly before her sons came of age, killing her husband and placing Cato on the throne of a new dominion.

Neoconservative Party

The **Neoconservative Party** was a political party in the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum, active from the mid 400s A.U. onward and initially led by Count Sevrar Orvhim.

## History

The Neoconservative Party initially formed as a splinter from Aeldrum's dominant Conservative coalition, platforming on the need to manage the distortive effects of the Industrial-State Cooperative programs and risks to Aeldman prosperity and the accumulation of wealth and power by key industrialists.
Irina Luisa di Limont

**Madame Irina Luisa di Limont** (generally believed to be a stage name) was the paramour and second-in-command of Minister Narvelle and the director of the National Theater on Milgar during the late Mage Imperium, and also the leader of the Cult of Dalthad. During the Milgravian Succession War, she mobilized the city of Limont for House Semokku.

## History

Irina Di Limont was one of the few non-Imperial citizens at the court of Milgar, a daughter of prosperous merchants in the Limontine Band. She rose to prominence as something of a poet laureate for her home city and received ample funding from Minister Narvelle to establish and direct a lengthy propaganda epic in the region, aggrandizing Governor Frodlaw Semokku and reminding the people of his protection. Madame Di Limont’s work was an enormous success, and she quickly gathered a troupe of actors and dancers around herself. Within a few short years, Minister Narvelle made her the director of his new state theater at Grand Milgar. Irina was not a particularly influential voice at court, but she was very much a part of Narvelle’s inner circle, and members of her troupe often accompanied the Minister.

Madame Di Limont died in the Milgravian Succession War during the bombardment of the Limontine Cities.

Outer Lane

The **Outer Lane** is a natural etheric phenomenon almost like a conventional etheric ley line, producing a sort of "pseudo-line" which connects two other ley lines. The Outer Lane does not open onto any pocket dimensions or etheric gates, but allows transit between Ley Line 4 in Imperial Space and Ley Line 17 in Conduit Space.

## History

In the early 6th century A.U., the Outer Lane spanned both Aeldman and Shantine territory, connecting the Aeldman Commonwealth Worlds and Shantine Empire in Imperial Space with the Commonwealth of Noloth and Outremer Kirvan Kingdoms in Conduit Space.
Nippon Shantine Quarter

The **Nippon Shantine Quarter** is the portion of the Veiled Dominions (formerly the Nippon States) occupying Imperial Space, adjacent to the Shantine Empire.

## History

The Shantine Quarter largely became part of the Shantine Empire and Adarnum Bastions following the First Coalition War, but was returned to the Nippon States in 453 A.U.. The Knights of Adarnum retained some fortification rights in the restored Nipponese cession but gave up revenues.
Olaf Mielnar

**President Olaf Mielnar** was a politician in the Presidential Republic of Delarma during the mid-400s A.U.

## History

Mielnar was a originally a cabinet member in the government of Delarma. He President of Delarma in 447 A.U. during the Delarman Civil War, after the previous president went missing. In the war, his government received the backing of the Elvish Enclaves, the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum, and the Shantine Empire, along with support of hired mercenaries from the Thalranese Marches.

Although Mielnar was the preferred candidate of the Elvish Enclaves, he was seen as a compromise between the extremes of elvish domination and Kirvan radicalism.
Milanese Gang

*See also: The Irish Campaign*

The **Milanese Gang** was a group of gangsters from the city of Milan on Italy who attempted to use the Irish War of Independence as a way to take over the organized crime scene on Ireland. However, they chose to feed intelligence to the Aeldman government rather than to the Irish rebels, and were thus put into conflict with the Karma Kameleons and the new Irish government. They were mostly destroyed by the end of the war.

Many members of the gang were former associates of Luigi G. Alberghi who were searching for accomplices to his recent murder, including Eamon O'Finnegan.

Patriarch Ibektos

## Ibektos

**Patriarch Ibektos of Highveldt** was the Kirvan Patriarch of Highveldt during the early-to-mid-400s A.U..

## History

### Accusation of Lord Yennek

In 446 A.U., Patriarch Ibektos publicly accused the Shantine Empire's Dowager Emperor-Consort Lord Yennek Masue of Revelationism. Perceived as an indirect critique of the Kirvan policies of Empress Theoboda Kataph, Ibektos's accusation caused riots on Bishant and Highveldt, with clashes between those rioting in support of the Patriarch and those in support of the Empress. Empress Theoboda personally intervened to calm the mob and "rescue" Patriarch Ibektos from the besieged palace on Highveldt.

### Retirement

Following the incident, Ibektos was blackmailed into publicly expressing remorse for his "error of judgment" and the violence it caused, and going into meditative retirement in Highveldt's hinterworlds to "consider his errors". He was replaced as Patriarch of Highveldt by Bishop Latakon, a longtime protegee of Patriarch Jan the Baptist of Bishant.

**Mimir**, also known as "The Count of Lidenia", was a High Elf of aristocratic origin with vast influence over the Aeldrum Trade Company and increasing clout through his shadow party within the Aeldrum Parliament.

## Personality

*This section is incomplete. You can help The Aeldrum Wiki by expanding it*.

## History

After a near-death experience on Witch Haven left him a mutilated amnesiac (ultimately reduced to a disembodied head supported by a form of magical iron lung), Mimir plied his trade as an expert on the occult. He eventually became an associate of the Third Knight Mercantile Expedition to the Taino Basin under the leadership of Kelly MacNial and Al the Dwarf and the employment of Hans Schulz and Frederick Hopkins.

Mimir recovered his memories and knowledge of his birthright to the considerable estates of Lidenia on one of the Aeldrum core worlds through the use of Mind Eels. After employing the Eels to transfer his consciousness and soul into a reconstructed elvish body of absolute perfection, Mimir reclaimed his birthright and set about plying his influence as a Knight Mercantile with inside access to the highest echelons of power in Aeldrum.
Morovin Arms Company

The **Morovin Arms Company** is a relatively small specialty arms and equipment manufacturer. It was created thanks to the connections, money, and expertise of The Professor, who named it after Palia Morovin, his lover and bodyguard.

Many early patents were made for Morovin Co. by Royce Poindexter, which gave the company an edge in the realms of remote guidance and cybernetic integration. Morovin looked primarily to capture the market in new and advanced machining techniques for high end customers - the Aeldrum Dragoons, for example, purchased a large number of Morovin Gunwork's "MG51" rapid-fire heavy machineguns, which utilized a quick manual barrel swap mechanism to dramatically increase the weapon's potential rate of fire.

More recently, the Professor's daughter Katya has taken over the company as part of the operations of the Knights Mercantile Celestial chapter, and has been using it to sell imported weapons and technology, dramatically increasing its size and scope of its business and putting it more directly into competition with the other manufacturers and distributors of Imperial space, especially the Schulz Arms Corporation.

New League of Sovereign Republics

*For the Aeldrum political party, see League of Sovereign Cities.*

The **New League of Sovereign Republics** (NLoSR), formerly known as the **League of Sovereign Republics** (LoSR) or **League of Free Republics**, is an alliance of worlds in Imperial Space formerly controlled by the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum. Throughout its history, Aeldrum has intervened in the internal affairs of the League, such as by blockading the country and forcing a regime change after the failed assassination attempt of Sevrar Orvhim during the 450s, or in the late 430s when the Republic of Chelonia (backed by Aeldman funds and arms) invaded the League to restore a pro-Aeldman regime.

## Overview

The League of Sovereign Republics is principally an economic and defensive alliance for the preservation of member autonomy against Aeldrum. Some half of the republics (including the Republic of Ireland) are former Aeldman colonies, and all have at some point been Aeldman client-states.

## History

The League was formed at a low point in Aeldman power and competitiveness at the tail end of the Fialta-Shantine War, before the revival of Aeldman colonial fortunes with the opening of the Pin-Jump. The League reformed as the "*New* League of Sovereign Republics" after it was occupied by Aeldrum during the regime of Serene Doge Guillarme du Montreal in 453 A.U..

## Society

League members must satisfy certain democratic and social standards, intended as part of a charter to prevent division and exploitation by foreign influencers.

### Religion

Historically, the majority of religious citizens in the League worshiped Idolmar, though most of the republics are pluralist and tolerate a variety of religions (the Bank of Valdos and other Church-Institutions operate with some difficulty owing to the general suspicion of League governments toward foreign power). The governments of the sovereign republics are all de jure secular, a model largely inherited from their former Aeldman colonizers.

## Relationship with Aeldrum

Geographically, the League was historically surrounded by Aeldrum and thus forced to operate on cordial terms with its colossal and encompassing neighbor. In this respect, by the early 5th century A.U. nearly a century of relative peace had encouraged significant economic reintegration, and the increasing racial pluralism of the Serene Duchy had also improved cultural and social ties to the League of Sovereign Republics. Though ever-wary of Aeldman expansionism, and committed to an “interior-first” plan of trade among members, the member republics settled into a semi-comfortable mercantile routine as an autonomous element of the vast Aeldman trade network.

This relationship with Aeldrum changed significantly following the Aeldrum Devolution Crisis of the late 5th century, with the NLoSR afterwards bordering the Republic of Chelonia and the Minor Republics rather than bordering the Serene Duchy directly, and being now only one of many former Aeldman territories within the Aeldman economic sphere.
New Sierna

**New Sierna** is a pocket dimension bridging Celestial Space and Conduit Space.

## History

New Sierna was colonized by the Empire of Alusia as part of Outer Alusia, during the wave of colonial expansion by Imperial powers that took place in the latter half of the 5th century. It is named after Sierna, an Alusian pocket dimension in Imperial Space.

Party Lenin

a solid communist party in progress

"****Party Lenin** isn't classy because party Lenin isn't classist. Party Lenin is for everyone.**"
 — Seth

**Party Lenin** knows how to make a communist party. He seems to show up drunk to every communist meeting, and also appears somewhat randomly anywhere there are other members of his party (since the party never stops when Lenin is around). He will even sometimes make appearances without any communist characters nearby, although this is fairly rare, as Lenin understands that there can be no party without communism. Lenin is there to ask the hard hitting questions; "Where is vodka?" "Did someone say 'Party'?" and his eponymous "What about Lenin?" are just a few of his astounding repository of deep and searching questions.

May or may not have been killed off screen one or more times by a frustrated GM.
Miri Akari

**Miri Akari** was a mute Nipponese woman who was mutilated by the agents of the Veiled Masters and turned to the Naga cause by Davian and Vania. Later, during the Deep Ether Expedition into Naga Space, she served as Captain Hiru's pilot/navigator and bodyguard under the alias **"Tenku"**, wearing a heavy scarf and a porcelain mask over her entire face below the eyes. After the expedition, she was taken into her former mentor Sumire's care, until she disappeared, perhaps to mete out vengeance on the Veiled Masters, perhaps to join her Naga patrons once more—she was never seen by Sumire again, though an old Yakuza who had been on the expedition to Naga Space claimed to recognize her in the crowd during an attack on Temshi's casino years later.
Naga

The **Naga** are a race of serpent-like beings with human faces.

## Description

The Naga seem largely uninterested in the affairs of the Human, Elvish and Orcish powers, with the distinctive exception of the Nippon States, whose secretive rulers they appear to loathe with an alien passion.

Spies and explorers within the Covens of Corrobel suggest that they control a domain of dozens if not hundreds of worlds and could potentially threaten the great mortal powers. Most disturbingly, there is evidence that the Naga can navigate the Aether without using the etheric lines, making a mockery of carefully planned defensive lines and fleet patrol routes.

## History

It is not known how long the Naga have ruled over the humanoids on the Covens of Corrobel, but it is suspected to have been for millenia.

## Powers

The Naga control the humanoids in their domain through a form of Psionic hypnosis.
Opium

Milramar Gestus

**Captain Milramar Gestus** was an Imperial Navy careerist who served as Secretary and second-in-command to Rear Admiral Roland Drumpf during the late Mage Imperium. Following the death of Drumpf during Ehrlai An'Drosse and Julia Brahm's wedding, Captain Gestus disputed the claim of Commodore Flynn Malley ("Mutineer Malley") to the Rear Admiralty and declared himself Acting Rear Admiral. In the aftermath of the soiree, Gestus was arrested for treason by Naval Logistics Chief Nold Tul'Semokku, and held as a bargaining chip to protect his daughter Aria, who was then in the custody of the Hybern Consortium. Gestus was later traded to Grigori Levin and House Brahm in return for posthumous amnesty for Nold's son Dante and the safety of his daughter Aria and his cousin Raolf Semokku. Gestus was tried and executed by Judge Bevor as a traitor to the Imperium in 1753 C.A..

Null Bombs

**Null Bombs** are weapons of mass destruction first developed and used during the First Coalition War. They make use of Null Space technology developed using the Black Pyramids.

## Description

Null bombs are large and unwieldy, requiring extensive resources to build and maintain and (at least initially) entire repurposed warships to transport. When detonated they can destroy everything within a 10-kilometer radius, with shockwaves usually causing fires and other damage much farther out as well.

## History

Null bombs were first developed by the Serene Duchy of Aeldrum during the War of the Coalition in the late 300s A.U., with their development and testing taking place on the remote pocket dimension of New South Saldan and making use of the Black Pyramid there. The first combat detonation was against Fialta Imperium forces on Firhbank, near one of the planet's etheric gates.

Post-war null bomb proliferation was a major cause of cosmopolitical tension in the decades following the First Coalition War.

Pantheon War

*For the One-Shot, see The Pantheon War (One-Shot).*

The **Pantheon War** was a series of vast conflicts among the cosmos. Over tens of millennia, the war saw hundreds of worlds devastated, many wiped entirely clean of life by cataclysmic weapons. During the war, rival gods dispatched angels and even Aspects of themselves to command enormous armies of mortal followers in an effort to secure their platforms of worship and forcibly convert as many souls as possible.

## Cost

No mortal war since has approached the scale of The Pantheon War, in which armies of tens of millions were deployed and, ultimately, billions upon billions would perish in the grinder.

The war saw the death of several gods, including Falamar the Lucky Wanderer, who was destroyed by the Elvish Triad.

Membership in the Great Pantheon was determined by which Gods were signatories to The Partition, which ended the Pantheon War and prevented the Gods from manifesting as easily in the mortal realms.

Orange Bicycle

An **Orange Bicycle** is a mythical object in the Aeldrum universe.

## Lore

No being mortal or immortal would be able to even conceive of, much less obtain, an Orange Bicycle without suffering instant insanity. The lack of Orange Bicycles is partially due to the non-existence of rubber trees in the entire universe. This in turn means that there are no rubber tires which can be used to construct an Orange Bicycle.

To even conceive of a normal bicycle is to instantly go mad. Furthermore, orange is the color of madness. This combination is therefore even more impossible. Similarly, to conceive of an orange unicycle is to only go half mad.
Outremer

**Outremer** is a language spoken in Celestial Space.

## Description

The Outremer language is spoken by the "Outremer" culture that developed in Celestial Space in the 200s-300s A.U. It is most generally thought of as a mix of the Celestial trade dialects acting as a platform for various words and constructions from the Imperial languages, most significantly Aeldman and Shantine.

## History

There are two separate origins postulated for what would become the Outremer language as it is now officially recognized by the New Celestial Confederation.

The first is that it was a creole formed by Imperial exiles who passed through the Nippon States, found they could not return, and congregated as pirates and privateers in the Gunpowder States (most notably the Margravate of Tarim). High levels of preservation of Aeldman among the elvish population of Tarim are thought to suggest that linguistic intermixing was limited during the Tarim period, but a strong argument for this origin is the number of loanwords that do not appear in the dominant trade languages (e.g. a significant Fialta and Orcish influence), suggesting a line of influence through exile populations.

The second origin would be more recent, as a pidgin used by Celestial merchants and sailors to communicate with Aeldman and Shantine traders and to describe the new technologies introduced through the Pin Jump Route in the late 300s. The second origin is well-attested in oral traditions among Celestial sailors, who describe an era when different ships had their own variants of early Outremer, varying depending on their respective levels of exposure to the ATC or the BTC.

It is thought to be likely that both originating phenomena occured, and that the Tarim Creole was subsumed, especially with the collapse of the Margravate, and became a part of the Outremer language. Outremer was formally codified in the 420s by the NCC, with a decidedly pro-Aeldman approach attributed to diplomatic posturing for the benefit of the Pin Jump's latest masters but keeping an "essentially Celestial" character vital to the legitimacy of the language in political relations with the Middle Kingdom and other regional powers.
