Prairie Provinces

The Prarie Provinces were the territories of the Empire of Chikago that bordered the High Plains. They included the provinces of Inner D'Kota, Nbraska, Kanzus, and Okie'Humma. They were formerly the territories of the Prairie Nomad tribes, whom were slightly more sedentary than their brethren on the High Plains, with peasant farmers under the control of nomadic nobility.

Under Imperial war these Prairie Nomads began adopting the ways of their Chikagoan overlords by settling down and adopting an agricultural lifestyle, although nomads still wandered the rural areas of the provinces, refusing to accept Chikagoanization. But even Imperial rule the Prairie Provinces remained backwater country, with the only Chikagoan presence was felt by the armies garrisoned on the frontier facing the High plains. These areas were by far the least densely populated regions of the Empire.
Ranks of Archivism

## Non-Ordained

* Follower- Is someone who subscribes to the beliefs of Archivism and sometimes attends the lectures of Priests at the Library temples, but is not ordained or actively pursuing a path to priesthood.
* Novice- Is someone who is studying at a monastery-school to become a Priest or Monk. They must become novices at a monastery before the age of 4 and study their entire early lives to take the ordination exam when they turn 18. Each class consists of 25 novices, out of which only 5 are ordained. Four are ordained as monk-teachers to train other novices, while the highest scoring novice is immediately ordained as a priest.

## Ordained

* Monk- Is a novice who passed the exam but has not yet reached the qualifications of priesthood. They remain at monasteries as teachers to the Novices, or can become the temple assistants of a priest. If a monk shows exceptional talent they can be made the leader of a monastery and given the title of Principal-Abbot, or even ordained as a priest.
* Priest- Is the lowest rank of the Priesthood, consisting of the highest scoring Novices who are in turn made the leaders of a Library-Temple, where they hold lectures for followers and offer advice to their communities.
Dixie Druidism

Was the religion of the Dixie people of the south. The religion centered around the Druids, priests that formed a special caste in Dixie society which held massive influence over their tribes. The religion revered the forces of nature, such as the spirits of the forest and its wildlife, the power of hurricanes, and the worship of ancestors. They worshiped Boars as Holy animals which represented the warlike spirit of the Dixie.

The Druids were an exclusive caste of mystics whom were often tattooed across their body, and cut large scars across their faces to prevent them from growing facial hair. Gatherings took place at the sacred groves of the druids, which were scattered throughout the south. The Druids often served as a mediating force between the Dixie tribes, who often warred with one another.

The Druids believed that all things in the world possessed spirits, and that these spirits guided their decisions and prophecies to their people. To please the spirits of their ancestors and the forces of nature, the Druids would often make sacrifices to the Gods within their groves. They were also augers and watched the flight pattern of birds to predict omens.
Midlander Language

Midlander was the language of the Midlander peoples. The language was the lingua-franca of the Chikago Empire, being widely used in the Eastern Empire as a primary or secondary language, while Texan was popular in the Western Empire. It was often spoken as a main language by those of the Midlands, or as a secondary language for trade and diplomacy, used alongside native provincial tongues. Midlander was the official language of the military and imperial court, and Chikagoan officials were required to know the language.

Midlander has two distinct dialects. The more common and more widely spoken one was Hoosier, which spoken in Chikago and the lower Midwest. Upper Midlander, also known as the Yooper Dialect, is a harsher variant of Midlander spoken in the more rural areas of the Upper Midwest, including Minisota, Iyowa, Wiscansin, and Upper Mishigan.

Midlander is one of the languages descended from the ancient Anglish language, which was spoken before the Flood. It is a also considered to be the language that remains the most similar to the ancient form of Anglish. This is though to be due to the midlands central location in Merika.
Pittzburro

Pittzburro was a large city located at the point where two rivers converge to form the O'Hio river. The city serves as gateway to the interior of Atlantika, and is the largest city located entirely within the subcontinent. Pittzburro is a major manufacturing center, and is known as the "Forge city". It is home to numerous Ironworks, where metals mined in the nearby Apalachian mountains is forged into various products, which were then shipped down the O'Hio river, and around the Empire. The city became the Imperial Capital of the East after the Emperor Gordun divided the Empire between his children following the Century of Anarchy. The new capital allowed the Emperor to be much closer to the Canuck threat in the east, and much further from the corrupt politics of the longtime capital of Chikago.
Quebecois

Were the inhabitants of the Northeastern sections of Canuda known as Quebec. They lived in the numerous fjords and inlets which indented their homelands coast, as the interior was heavily forested and largely uninhabitable. Because of this the Quebecois chose to take to the sea, and began to raid and settle the lands around them. They eventually spread away from Quebec to the lands of Acadia and N'Fynlund, where they settled down and established new tribes. The Quebecois had a reputation for being vicious pirates, who raided all along the Atlantikan coastline. After the fall of the Eastern Chikago Empire to their Canuck neighbors, the Quebecois took advantage of the chaos to raid the newly formed Canuck kingdoms, which were still attempting to consolidate their power. This brought them great wealth and amounts of plunder, which they used to finance more and more raids.
Koachella

## Info

### Allegiance

Kalifornya, Empire of Aztlan, TexMex Kalifornya, Empire of Chikago, Empire of Deseret

### Population

500,000

Was a large city located in southern Kalifornya. It was founded near the ruins of Old Palm Springs by the famous Texan general and conqueror Gunnar the Great, who founded it as a colony for his veterans following his conquests of the southwest.

The city grew into a large Texan Colony in Kalifornya, and eventually a large native Kalifornyan community would develop in the city as well. The city quickly became a melting pot of Texan, Kalifornyan, and Mexican cultures, and was at the center of the Texmex World.

Exotic goods from lands far to the south of Mexico pour into this major port, and it is said that almost anything one could look for can be found in Koachella. The cities elite largely Texan population lived in large palatial complexes in comfort and luxury, while the native Kalifornyan urban poor lived in crammed apartment blocks and townhouses.

During the Peak of the Empire of Chikago the city had a population of over half a million, making it the largest city of the far-west, and by far the most important long-distance trade port in the Empire.
Hispanic Language Family

Is a family of Languages which are spoken in the southern portions of Pacifika, they are all mostly derived from the ancient Spanish Language. The Mexica, Mayan, and Cubano languages are the langauges of the family most closely related to the ancient language. The Californyan, Ar'Zonian, and Puebloan languages of the Southwest are mostly derived from ancient Spanish, but have some Anglo influences, due to the fact that the regions were once part of the long gone Anglish-speaking United States.

The Language family is the second largest of Meruka, behind only the Anglo Language family, which consists of the new languages derived from the lost language of Anglish. However, there are believed to be several more undiscovered languages of the Hispanic family, which are spoken in the Largely unknown continent to the south, across the Southern Sea, in the mysterious Peruvian Empire.
Great Schism

At the end of the long and devestating Century of Anarchy, the Emperor Gordun searched for any advice he could find on restoring his Empire. The various cults and superstitious oracles of his court failed to give him any sense of resolve or options for victory. But one day a stranger in a red cloak approached his throne, the High Priest of the Archivist sect in Chikago, Seth.

Seth told the Emperor of his faiths immense wisdom, and convinced the Emperor to allow him to teach him how to read and write. The Emperor agreed and was amazed at the things he discovered through the guidance of Seth's teachings. He discovered an ancient book known as the Art of War, and was immensely inspired by the tactics portrayed in the book. He immediately began to organize his campaigns to re-unify the Empire and defeat his usurpers.
Atlantika

Atlantika was the eastern subcontinent of Maruka. It was located between the Mississippi Sea and the Great Eastern Sea which bordered it on the West and East. To the north of the subcontinent was Canuda, and to the west across the Chikago Straits was Pacifika. Atlantika was the smallest subcontinent of the fractured Marukan landmass.

## Geography

Atlantika was the most temperate of the subcontinents of Maruka, and was covered in large deciduous forests. Its western coast was largely indented and fractured, with its many islands forming the tops of now submerged hills. Its Eastern coast was much straighter, but still indented by occasional cliffs and rocky shores.

The central region of the landmass was dominated by the high hills of the Apalachian mountains, which were sparely populated and very rugged. The hilly coastlands of the Mississippi sea were very rocky and were the site of many hundreds of small islands and islets. The East consisted of a very narrow coastal plain, which overlooked the flooded ancient cities which were once the core of the long gone United States. The central western protion of the subcontinent was known as the lower Midlands, and were the flattest and most fertile areas of the landmass, home to the Chikago Empires heartlands. The northeastern portion of the Subcontinent was made up of the large islands of Catskill and N'Angland, which were rugged rainy lands that formed the northeastern extremity of the Chikago Empire.

## Culture

Atlantika was home to a wide range of different cultures and peoples. The most prominent groups are the Yankee people of the north, the Dixie people of the south, and the Cajun people living along the islands and harbors of the landmasses western coast.

For much of its history Atlantika was a mostly uncivilized land, populated by the Dixie and Yankee tribes, whom the peoples such as the Chikagoans and Texans viewed as uncivilized. However some of the Penzlivannian Yankees and Lowland Dixie peoples developed organized chiefdoms based around large hillforts. The Cajun people were a sophisticated culture living on the western fringes of the subcontinent, where they built many of their famous stilt cities.

Later on, Atlantika was entirely conquered and incorporated into the Chikagoan Empire, which established many colonies of Midlanders in the region. Eventually the Dixie and Yankee tribes adopted the civilized ways which were forced upon them by their Chikagoan conquerors, and formed unique Chi-Dixie and Chi-Yankee cultures under imperial rule.
Haitien People

Haitiens were the largest group of inhabitants in the small and scattered tropical islands of the Carib Sea. They were renowned for their seafaring abilities, with their many tribes travelling between archipelagos in catamaran style boats. They occasionally formed powerful tribal confederations which led devastating pirate raids into Dixieland and the Missipee Sea. They were infamous for their great strength and fearlessness in battle, as well as their ability as swimmers and divers, sometimes being hired by other nations as mercenaries and marines.
The Southwest

Was a region of Maruka which included the lands of Pueblo, Ar'Zonia, and Californya. The region was bounded by the Great Basin Desert on the north and Mexico to the south. The region was the site of the first new civilizations built after the flood, and has some of the oldest cultures of the new world.

## History

In the days before the Great Flood, the southwest was ruled over by the Anglo dominated United States of Maruka, but had a very large Hispanic population. After the flood the languages of the southwest retained some Anglo elements but remained more closely related to ancient Spanish, making the languages of the region part of the Hispanic language family.

Ghost Cities

Were the ruined remains of the once great cities and metropolises of the Ancients. They are looming reminders of the worlds distant past, as well as a major source of resources such as building materials and precious metals. Salvagers often established large salvage camps within ghost cities to remove these valuable materials from the ruins.

Often, new cities were founded within range of a ruined Ghost city, so that it could have an ample supply of building materials for new structures. In other cases the new cities were constructed directly on top of the ruins of the ancient cities, which their new urban fabrics melding around the decaying hulks of ancient skyscrapers. An example of this would be Pittzburro, which is constructed directly in the old city center of its ancient forerunner city, Pittsburgh.

Due to their shelter and often overgrown streets and alleyways, Ghost cities are often used as bases by raiders and bandits. Ghost cities have also been used as the site of many great ambushed during wars.

Kolyradans

Were the people native to the mountainous lands of Kolyrado. They were the original adherents to the Archivist Religion, which they adopted shortly after the emergence of the ancestors of the Wise Ones from the Ark. At first glance they were a simple people who raised sheep in the valleys, and lived in villages and cities carved straight into the sides of their homelands many mountains. But the Kolyradans were unique because their religion placed immense importance on the preservation of knowledge, and their priests knew how to read the language of the ancients, Anglish. However, outside the priesthood the Kolyradan dialect of Mountaineer was used by the general population.

The Kolyradans managed to protect their strange religion from numerous outsiders over the centuries, but they were finally conquered by Chikago. After a rebellion against the Empire, the legions destroyed their Holy city of Ark Mount, the Kolyradans were forced to flee their homeland in what became known as the Scattering. The Scattering forced the Kolyradans to live among the various peoples of the empire, and eventually their native language faded away as they adopted the local ones. But the Kolyradans all maintained their Archivist Religion, and the Sacred Anglish language, and eventually the descendants of the Kolyradans began to spread Archivism to the masses.
Great Eastern Sea

Was the massive sea that was located to the west of Merica. It was largely uncharted as few sailors dared to go beyond sight of the coast, fearful of tales of sea monsters and vicious storms. The seas massive waves and powerful currents would make short work of the rather flimsy ships of the post-flood world. However, a few brave sailors and navigators have attempted to cross the sea driven by their intense curiosity of finding new lands. Of the few who have attempted this dangerous journey, very few have returned. There are rumors of another continent on the other side of the ocean known as Yerup, which is believed to have been the original homeland of the first speakers of the ancient Anglish language.
Kalifornyan Language

The Kalifornyan Language is the native language of the large country of Kalifornya. Of all of the languages of the Hispanic family, it is the most unique, combining elements of both the ancient Anglish and Spanish languages. The language is divided into the NorKal and SoKal dialects, which are quite different but mutually understandable.

The language was the dominant tongue of the early Kalifornyan Kingdom, and persisted to be spoken by the larger population through the periods of Aztlani, Texan, and Chikagoan domination.

The original writing system of the language was the Kalifornyan Emotiglyphs, which was a pictorial writing system based on ancient symbols used in communication. Although the Emotiglyphs continued to be used by the priesthoods of the Hollywood Cults, many scholars of the nation began to adopt Texan and Chicagoan alphabets in later periods.

The language was infamous for its emphasis on Y- Sounds.
Cascadian Language

Was the language of the Cascadian people of the Northwest. The language was the farthest western language of the Anglo Language families, as well as one of the most unique. The language was the state language of the old Cascadian Kingdom as well as the various tribes whom inhabited their moist forested homeland. The language had a system of hieroglyphics which were heavily influenced by the Californyan Emotiglyphs. The Cascadians would later adopt the Anglish Alphabet with the arrival of Archivism in their lands.
Imperial Cult

Was one of the official religions of the Khagoan Empire alongside Khagoan Polytheism. It was based around the divinity and power of the Emperor, and his promotion of order among the chaos of the post-summer world. The cult taught that the Emperor was the God-like successor of the ruler of the Laaklunder Gods, Linkun.

The Emperors were the sons of Linkun, who ruled the mortal world for him. The Khagoans declared the deceased first Emperor Don Wabbash a God, to justify his successors autocratic rule following his overthrow of the Republic, declaring that Linkun had told them to restore order to the world and build an Empire that stretched from sea to shining sea.

Ceremonies of the Imperial cult took place at temples and monuments around the Empire. During them sacrifices would be made in front of images or statues of one of the Empires various rulers. It was very closely tied to the Imperial government, and its shrines and idols were often located in or near government buildings, like the palaces of provincial governors or garrisoned forts.
Tower-Manors

Were large towering structures constructed by the elite families of Chikago and the Midlands, to house their families and serve as places to conduct business and negotiations. Each tower loomed over the surrounding tenements below it, which were often owned by the Elites. The tower houses began to be constructed when Chikago grew so densely populated that the smell and crowds of the street were unbearable for the cities elite. They decided to build up to avoid the stench of the streets below them, and soon enough it became a competition to see which family could build their Tower-Manor the tallest. In fact, the towers were constantly evolving structures, and would often grow taller.

Eventually the Upper-city was formed when the various Tower-Manors were connected by a series of rope bridges, which allowed the snobby Chikago upper classes to to travel across the city without ever having to descend back down to the crowded alleys of the city. The bridges connected the various garden terraces and plazas of the upper levels of the different Tower-Manors. Surrounding these picturesque locations were the entrances to bathhouses and shops inside the towers.
Puebloan Mythology

Puebloan Mythology was the standard religion of the Puebloan peoples and is considered to be among the most ancient religions of the continent. Their mythology is very animistic, believing in the forces of nature and its powers. It is also very influenced by the Puebloans advanced knowledge of Astrology and the various locations of stars in the night sky.

They worship in partially underground circular formatted temples, known as Kivas, where the priests perform the religions many rituals to the spirits of nature and ancestors. The religion is thought to have been present in Merika long before the arrival of even the ancient Anglish people.
The Misborn

Also known as Gleps, The Disfigured, or Mutants; were beings who suffered from major genetic mutations as result of the Thousand-Year summer's unhindered and poisonous sunlight. The Misborn were the descendants of those who were especially exposed to the radiation of the suns rays, and they suffered extreme mutations as a result of this. These included but were not limited to missing or extra limbs, eroded and disfigured skin texture, or extended lifespans.

The Misborn were generally feared by the general public, due to their often horrific appearances as well as ancient blood libels against deformity. They were often ostracized from society and forced to live their lives in seclusion as hermits, or join other Misborn in small isolated communities known as Glep Colonies. But certain Misborn did not suffer from the physical mutations of their fellow mutants, and looked strikingly normal, these Misborn were referred to as dupes. Dupes were even more greatly feared due to their ability to mix in with society, and many feared them spreading for the possibility of them spreading their mutated genes to their newborn children.

The vast majority of communities greatly distrusted and feared the Misborn, but there were a few exceptions. Notably the Pragmatic Archivists
War Barges

War barges were the main warships of much of the post-flood world. They were shallow drafted vessels which were built of wooden planks and powered by a contingent of oarsmen, who may or may not be slaves. War barges ranged in size from small patrol boats meant for short range operations, to large 200 foot long warships with hundreds of oarsmen, which could carry many catapults and archers upon their decks.
Pax Chikagoa

Pax-Chikagoa was the peaceful period of the first half of the fourth millennium post-flood, when the Empire of Chikago was at its peak of power. During the period Chikago was under the rule of the Wabash dynasty, which was founded by the first Emperor Don Wabash. Wabash ended the corrupted and fragile Republic and proclaimed himself the first Emperor of Chikago, the son of the God Linkun himself.

For around 400 years trade, travel, and peace was at its peak across the empire, which now extended from sea to shining sea. The Empires powerful Legions were considered by most to be indefeatable, and they preserved the order and peace across the vast empire. Local peoples were swiftly chicagoanized, and soon began to adopt the cultural customs of their rulers. Many new cities and colonies were established by retired veterans, and the cities of the Empire reached their highest populations to date.

The period is dated of lasting from the ascension of Don Wabash, to the death of the last Emperor of his line, Kwentun, at Aztlani hands in 3501PF.
Archivist Uprising

Was a conflict which lasted from 3101-3109 across Kolorato. The conflict was triggered by the oppression and rampant taxation imposed upon the Koloratians by the Chikagoan overlords.

The Prophet Damian was a low ranking priest of the temple of ark mount. The High Priest of the temple was corrupt, and essentially a puppet of the provincial governor. The High Priest looked the other way when the Chikagoans committed atrocities against his people, and withheld the vast knowledge of the priesthood from the common people, who were kept ignorant of his corruption.

One day Damian stole as many books as he could from the Temple and fled to the countryside. From there he went from valley to valley across Kolorato educating the poor and teaching them how to read and write. He also performed a series of miracles using the knowledge he had gained from his years as a priest. He healed the sick with his medicines, and helped the crops grow more efficiently by showing the peasants new more effective fertilizers.

Damian began to gain a massive following among the poor of Kolorato, to the alarm of the High Priest, who declared him a heretic and criminal. Damian and his mass of followers traveled across their mountainous homeland, and began to add more and more followers to their ranks. Damian preached peaceful protest and condemned violence of any kind. He and his followers peacefully refused to pay tax collectors, even when threatened with death.

Damian's followers now numbered in the hundreds, and he decided to lead a peaceful march on Ark Mount to peacefully protest the High Priests corruption. He entered the holy city and approached the entrance of the temple itself, there he was arrested by the High Priests men and held in a small cell.

He was tortured and interrogated by the priesthood for hours, but refused to renounce his teachings to the poor. When he refused to reveal the location of the stolen books, The High Priest then approached the Chikagoan Governor and demanded that Damian be executed due to the unrest he had created in the province. The Governor reluctantly agreed and Damian was handed over to him.

In front of his hundreds of followers Damian was dragged up a hill outside the city, after being lashed dozens of times. He was approached by his closest followers who asked him what they should do after his execution.
Yenkees

Were a group of people who inhabited the northeastern region of Maar'Ka at the northernmost areas of the subcontinent Tlantika. A diverse group of people, they were united by their common Yenkee language, which evolved from the Northeastern dialects of Ancient English. The Yenkees were known for their love of freedom and individual expression,and they worshipped a pantheon of Gods known as the Founders. Like their Deksee neighbors to the south, the Yenkees largely lived in a tribal society until their conquest.

The Yenkees were divided into two broad groups, the Mainland Yenkees of Penzlyvana and N'Oyrk, and the Insular Yenkees on the islands of N'Anglynd and Upstadt. The mainland Yenkees traditionally based their society more around Agriculture, Hunting, and trade with neighboring cultures, and lived in more organized chiefdoms which built large Hill-forts, while the Insular Yenkees lived in society almost entirely based around fishing around their coastal homelands, and lived in much smaller independent tribes based around small coastal villages.

The Mainland Yenkees and all of the Insular Yenkees besides the Brunzwyker tribes of the far north of N'Anglynd were conquered by the Khagoan empire and largely civilized. Under Khagoan rule the Yenkee tribes began to abandon their old ways of life and settle in Khagoan established towns, cities, and estates. Here they adopted many aspects of Khagoan culture, whilst still retaining their Yenkee identity. They developed their own more complex forms of architecture with Khagoan engineering, and maintained their staunch sense of independence. However this yearning for freedom led the Yenkees of N'Anglynd to rise up against their Khagoan occupiers, leading to their defeat in the N'Anglynder uprising.
Mountaineer Language

Mountaineer was the language spoken by the inhabitants of the rocky mountains, most notably the Kolyradans. The language had two distinctive dialects, one being the Kolyradan dialect spoken by the Archivist Kolyradans, and the Highland Dialect spoken by the isolated mountain tribes in the Northern Rockies of Wyoming, Idaho, and Idaho.

The language was the first language since ancient Anglish to adopt the Anglish Alphabet, due to it being the homeland of the Archivist faith. While the Priesthood used Anglish for their spiritual purposes and the translation of ancient texts, Mountaineer was the language of the commoners.
Ruszbaldters

The Ruszbaldters were the native inhabitants of the Ruszbaldt, the region surrounding their famous city of Khago. The Ruszbaldters were an industrious and ambitious people, who would come to rule the most powerful empire known since the end of the summer. They were highly versatile and quickly learned from their adversaries whom they conquered and absorbed. They were known for their civic virtue and urbanism, but also for their rampant corruption and brutality towards those who resisted their rule.

Originally a humble farmer people inhabited the regions surrounding the great lakes, they would later expand the power of their capital city Khago to span across the greater part of Nor´Marka, expanding it to become the greatest city of the new world.

On the outside the Ruszbaldters seemed to be a conservative and hard-working people, but political intrigue and a lust for power led to widespread corruption across their governmental institutions. The corruption of the Khagoan Republic and its scheming Aldermen eventually led to the first emperor Don Wabbash overthrowing their power and reducing them to pawns under his command, his sucessors became known as the Dons and continued to rule his sprawling empire for the following centuries.

Cajun League

Cajun League at its peak in 2000AF

Was a League of Cajun cities that spanned across much of the southern Mississippi sea, in the lands of Tenesee, Bama, Kantuky, Ozarka, and Arkanzus. The League was founded when Stilt City unified all of the scattered Cajun cities, which were founded by refugees from the lost land of Louisiana. The League was for a while the most powerful entity in the East, but was later defeated and conquered by the expanding Chicago Republic, which fought a long and bloody naval war with the league.

At the council, the Emperor called upon all the Archivist priests of the his Empire to meet him in the Temple of Linkun in Chikago, which was now converted into the Great Temple of the new Archivist Order he was about to found, an Order which would unite all of the Archivists under the leadership of its central Priesthood headed by the Primate of Chicago.

In stark contrast with their Bygone counterparts, the Texans refused to eat beef besides on holy days which featured festivals known as Rodeos, where the religions priests would attempt to ride bucking bulls as well as show off livestock. They especially viewed the unique longhorn breed of cattle, which was native to their homeland, as especially holy; and refused to eat its meat altogether, allowing them to graze on holy pastures.

Anglish Language

Anglish was the language formerly spoken across all of Meruka and possibly around the entire world. It was the language of the ancient nation known as the United States. After the complete breakdown of communications following the Great Flood, the Anglish language quickly splintered into several new regional languages and was almost completely forgotten.

However, the language continued to be spoken by the Archivist Priests of Kolyrado, whom used it for spiritual purposes and the translations of ancient texts. The Archivists also adopted the Anglish writing system, which was first utilized by the Mountaineer language of their homeland. After the destruction of the Ark and the scattering, the Archivists preserved the language and taught it to the new monks and priests from around the Empire who joined the faith. They also spread the use of the ancient Anglish Alphabet, which was far more efficient than the native writing systems for the languages of the various different peoples they now lived alongside.

Anglish was thought to have originated as the tongue of colonists from far to the east, who brought the language of their homeland to Merika long before the thousand year summer. It quickly spread across much of the continent and eventually become the main language of the ancient Merikans, before it splintered into the many language of the Anglish language Family following the downfall of the ancients.

The Great Dumbing

Was an era which lasted throughout the first millennium after the Flood. During this time the foundations of Ancient civilization began to break down causing the world to enter a dark age. Learning became a thing of the past and almost all of the Ancients technologies were destroyed by the intense power of the sun, which beat down on the worlds surface mercilessly. The Ancient cities that were spared from the rising seas began to fall into ruins after the global population went into rapid decline due to the mass famines and plagues that ravaged the populations that survived the Flood.

The survivors abandoned their once comfortable lifestyles and focused all their resources on survival. Ancient nations like the United States immediately ceased to exist and were wiped off the map during the chaos. The absence of any sort authority led most to join bands of survivors which would eventually transform into primitive tribes. After the complete breakdown of communications, the ancient languages like Anglish and Spanish began to splinter into hundreds of regional languages, causing the peoples of Meruka to lose their old sense of identity under the United States.
Hollywood Cults

Was the native religion of the Californyan people. It was centered on the Oracle of Hollywood, which was a large temple complex outside Kalifornyas old capital of Ellay, near the famous ancient Hollywood Sign. The Religion was Polytheistic and worshiped the "Stars", whom they believed were Gods and Goddesses, but in reality were just renowned actors and actresses of ancient times. The Priests of this religion would wear costumes similar to the ones worn by these ancient movie stars.

The priesthood of the religion took part in bizarre rituals, and treated the salvaged films of the Bygone as holy relics. Their ceremonies often took place in their theater-temples, where the priests would view the films on salvaged projectors and re-enact scenes from them. The religion was known for being very liberal when it came to matters of sex, gender, and social taboos, and the priesthood was known for their lavish and often indulgent festivals. The Priesthood was under the command of the God-King, who was viewed as the most lavish descendant of the Stars.

The Priesthood was obsessed with ideas of beauty and fashion, and often adorned themselves in extravagant costumes based on the outfits of stars, as well as wearing excessive jewelry, makeup, wearing fake white teeth over their rotting natural ones, and dying their hair unusual colors. They were also known to undergo primitive plastic surgery to increase their perceived beauty, often with disastrous results.

Texus

Texus was a large nation which lay in the Near-West, along the western coast of the Misipee Sea. It was one of the major cultural centers of Merika, and had strong traditions. Originally Texus comprised of a series of city-states and kingdoms, until their great gains against Aztlan under Gunnar the Great. Later the resulting TexMex kingdoms and Texus itself were conquered by the Chikagoans and incorporated into their expanding western territories. Texus remained a key province of the empire, serving as the crossroads between east and west. After the century of chaos and the War of the successors, the daughter of the Emperor Gordun, Irene, founded a breakaway Empire in West. Awztyn was renamed Irenopolis after her, and it became a new Imperial capitol in-exile.

Texus was a major economic powerhouse due to its location between east and west, their culture itself combined eastern and western elements, which made the Texuns very unique. In one way or another Texas was either directly or indirectly involved in the history of the post-flood world.
Dupe

A **Dupe** or "Trick", was a mutant who appeared by all standards to be a normal human, but that yet had mutant genes. Dupes were feared by many because of their ability to morph into regular society unlike other more noticeably disfigured mutants, giving them the risk of conceiving mutated offspring. Dupes could be distinguished from non-mutants by very slight mutations however, such as strange birth marks, piercing eyes, or heightened sensitivity to touch or noise. A notable dupe was the Emperor Hannibul Washtenaw's mistress and concubine Jyriana, who conceived his mutated daughter and later rightful successor Irene the Faceless.
Imperial Auxiliaries

Was the largest branch of the Imperial military of the Empire of Chikago, its soldiers were recruited from the massive numbers of non-citizens in the provinces. In contrast with the heavily armed and armored Legionaries, who were citizens, the Auxiliaries comprised of various different groups of people from around the Empire. This made the Auxiliaries a very diverse force, with the majority of the Imperial armies archers and horsemen being in the Auxiliaries. A provincial who served his 25 years of service in the Auxiliaries would be granted citizenship, thus raising their status greatly within the Empire.

Auxiliaries consisted of volunteers who were mostly local provincial nobles attempting to gain citizenship to increase their status in their Chikagoan overlords. They also often had prior combat experience which made them more skilled soldiers, however not all auxiliary volunteers were of noble birth, many were just trying to find a better life or searching for adventure. The Auxiliaries would often recruit specific kinds of soldiers from the provinces that were famous for. For example, the Pueblo auxiliaries often formed archery units, due to their peoples skill in marksmanship. Cavalry was often recruited from the Prairie Provinces and Texas, due to those regions famed horses.

Auxiliaries were often stationed at forts around the Empire, and kept order in the provinces. In times of war Auxiliaries would be attached to Legions, to give the Legions a more diverse array of support troops. Auxiliaries often comprised mostly of light to medium infantry, archers and skirmishers, as well as heavy and light cavalry units. Normally the Auxiliaries would be the first forces to confront a threat, if they were defeated or overwhelmed the smaller but more elite Legions would be called in to win the day.
