National News

The **National News**, also known as the **Aurumean-Chrysosan National News**, was the biggest News Network in Aurum-Chrysos until their unexpected bankruptcy following the Ghetto Insurrection. They have been succeeded by the news network known as "The News of the Whole Nation".

National News was founded by Chancellor Otto-Benjamin when he was still a council member. Noticing the small amount of people paying attention to the current state of the nation, he founded the National News to help spread the word about recent events to the whole nation. National News consisted of a Weather Channel, a Political News channel, a Gossip Channel, a Sports Channel, and a Breaking News Channel. These channels have been continued on in "News of the Whole Nation".

Alchemy's General Info

## **Hierarchy**

Alchemists have a Grading System similar to the general system. The difference is in the use of flower brooches. The leaves of the flowers represent their Grade and Rank. Number of leaves corresponds to Grade, and the color corresponds to Rank.

The most common Grade/Rank is Two-Leaf Silver flower (Earth-Grade Middle) alchemist. The rarest Grade/Rank is Three-Leaf flower (Heaven) alchemist, or greater.

To decide his Grade/Rank, the alchemist needs to concoct a pill of the same Grade/Rank.

Example: A Two-Leaf Silver flower alchemist needs to concoct a pill of Earth-Grade Middle.

 Earth(Two-Leaf)
 Heaven(Three-Leaf)
 Mysterious(Four-Leaf)
 Spirit
 Saint

## **Alchemist**

A cultivator who focuses his life on Alchemy. Because of this, increasing their cultivation and strength is only a means to improve their Alchemic abilities. That's common sense. However, an Alchemist is also a cultivator, needing pure Qi and high control of it to perform any alchemic action.

## **Xiao Fu Shen's Insight**

Because of Alchemy's need for a very pure Qi and high control of it, a cultivator must first reach the Immortal Ascension Boundary before beginning his Alchemy Path. With this, it is understood that to have excellence in the Alchemy Path, you must first have excellence in the Martial Path. In other words, the peak of the two can coincide without any problem.

Elizabeth D'Or

**Queen Elizabeth D'Or of Aurum-Chrysos**, typically called **Elizabeth D'Or** or **the Queen**, is the Queen of Aurum-Chrysos and the Magistrate of Iles du Roi Jean. Queen Elizabeth is considered a good queen in terms of popularity and action, as she is shown to be a kind person who likes to mingle with commoners and get their perspective of life and improve it.

Queen Elizabeth was born in an aristocratic family loosely related to the Royal House. As a child, she was a constant victim of hostage situations due to her family's immense wealth and her vulnerable side. As a result, her parents kept her confined to their home. This would later spark her immense curiosity among things as she wanted to recover her time lost in her childhood.

She moved to Iles du Roi Jean in her 20s and studied law and government in a prestigious college before returning to the capital after only 2 years of studying. She signed up to be in the Capitole Congress and gained a minor seat on behalf of the Conservative party. She became a focal point in women's rights and prompted better treatment of females.

A few years later, a coup ousted the entire congress and Elizabeth fled to Iles du Roi Jean. By this point, she had met the Dauphin and they were dating. She gained popularity in Iles du Roi Jean and was unanimously appointed Governor. A few days later, the Dauphin proposed.

With the death of King Jean III, the Dauphin Jean-Alphonse ascended the throne and Elizabeth immediately became Queen. Her popularity soared as she improved suffrage rights and often made public appearances.
Oro City

**Oro City** (**OC**), often simply called **Oro**, is the most populous city and capitol in the Kingdom of Aurum-Chrysos. With an estimated population of 536,817 distributed over about 15.2 square miles (9,728 acres), Oro City is also the most densely populated major city in Aurum-Chrysos. Located in the Capitole State, the city is the center of the Oro metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the area by urban landmass. Oro City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the continent, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports, and is the most photographed city.

The city was founded by settling Aurumeans and Chrysosans as a small trading port along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. As a target for many pirates and raiders, Oro City was constantly attacked for it's gold. The city, however, grew to be a powerful city ruled jointly by Aurumeans and Chrysosans until the establishment of the Sabatae Dynasty.

With the rise of the Sabatae Dynasty, Aurum-Chrysos was united under one Royal House. However, following the death of the last Sabatae king, the land plunged into chaos and Oro City fell into anarchy. Oro City was among one of the first cities to fall to the Labradorian Empire in their conquest of Aurum-Chrysos. Oro City became the capital of the Labradorian Empire and the native Aurumean and Chrysosan people were enslaved.

After a few decades, an independence movement rose in Oro City. The Aurum-Chrysosan Revolution quickly overtook the city, forcing Labradorian people back into their homeland. With the revolution succeeding, the Kingdom of Aurum-Chrysos, with Oro City as its capital, was established with Jean D'Or as the new King of Aurum-Chrysos. Under Aurum-Chrysos, the city went under drastic modernization within the course of three kings. These modernization reforms shaped Oro CIty into the largest metropolitan city in the area.

Historians typically divide this period of time into three sections: The First Wave, the Interwar, and the Second Raid. The First Wave is associated with the time between Aurumean-Chrysosan independence and the Great Grootist Genocide (GGG) by the Empire of Labradoria. This period of time was filled with guerrilla warfare and all-out battles. The Interwar is associated in between the genocide of the Groots and the recuperating of their race. The Second Wave is associated with the smaller and more swift Raids in Aurumean-Chrysosan sovereign territory. After the OS Revolutionary State invaded, both sides ended their long conflict and tensions finally eased as both sides learned to co-exist.

Dyno Coup

The **Dyno Coup**, sometimes called the **Truvenov Coup** or the **1st Brigade Takeover**, was a military coup headed by General Danil Truvenov that aimed for the overthrow of Prime Minister Otto-Benjamin and the installation of General Truvenov as Prime Minister. Following Prime Minister Otto-Benjamin's military reforms, the First Brigade of the Royal Army stormed City Hall and ousted Otto-Benjamin's cabinet.

Reactions across the nation was mixed. Far-right groups such as the small Ultra-Crown Party supported the coup, while far-left groups such as the Dhauchak Cult disapproved of the takeover. Citizens largely supported Otto-Benjamin due to his philanthropy, but the army favored the military takeover as the budget was raised as high as ever.

A day after the successful coup d'etat, General Danil Truvenov made a speech outside of City Hall, declaring the nation a "military junta under royal rule". DUring the later half of his speech, followers of Sanchit Dhauchak, the former Chief Justice of Aurum-Chrysos, forcibly arrested General Truvenov and declared the former Chief Justice the Supreme Leader of Aurum-Chrysos.

Pill Saint

The Medicine King’s Valley’s first patriarch, had long ago passed away, but the passage of time had not diminished his sacred position in the hearts of this world’s Alchemists.

Rumor had it that the Alchemic Method had been created by the Pill Saint, who, using Medicine King’s Valley as a center, distributed it to every corner of the world, so that when cultivators became injured, they would be able to take pills in order to resume their practice.

His statue hung in Medicine King’s Valley's Myriad Drug Pond. After countless years, it has not degraded.
House of Loviz

The House of Loviz, formerly known as the Royal House of Loviz, and commonly referred to as the House of Gimenez, was the first Royal house of the Kingdom of Aurum, ruling since the establishment of an Aurumean state. The House of Loviz was known as a notoriously inbred household as the population was scarce and absolute primogeniture was practiced.

The House of Loviz ruled as absolute monarchs, which portrayed them as tyrants and eventually led to their brief overthrow at the hands of the Sarikan Dynasty. Due to the unpopularity of the Sarikan monarchs, the Lovizan monarchy was reinstated and a constitutional monarchy was established. The dynasty met their demise at the hands of warring clans demanding the King step down. The Dynasty was overthrown and male members executed. Survivors fled to the neighboring Principality of Chrysos and sought refuge there. The dynasty eventually died out.

The Confederation is sandwiched in between the Kingdom of Aurum-Chrysos and the Republic of Libertas, making the nation a buffer state between the two powers. Although unofficially, the Confederacy is a puppet state of Aurum-Chrysos due to their growing influence in the confederacy, but the nation remains sovereign and has their own government.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is the last remaining sovereign Native American nation. With the puppetization of Nunatsuak and the liquidation of Anasazi, the Haudenosaunee are the last sovereign Native nation, giving it the nickname "Native Stronghold".

The Confederation is ruled by the Six Chiefs of the Six Tribes of the Confederacy. Politics in the Confederacy are meant to mirror the politics of the Old Confederacy, before the Apocalypse.

Apocalypse of Earth

The **Apocalypse of Earth** was an ancient apocalyptic event that occured in 2000 BI (4000 AD). In Aurumean-Chrysosan texts and legends, the Apocalypse shares many similarities to the prophesied Apocalypse of John mentioned in the Christian Bible. The Apocalypse of Earth was the prelude to Aurumean-Chrysosan culture and civilization. Due to the Burning of 1/3 of the World, most of Europe was set ablaze and people from Italy and Greece migrated to a deserted and unpopulated Quebec, commencing Aurumean-Chrysosan civilization.

The exact time of the Apocalypse of Earth has always been a subject of discussion among historians. Many stories, if not all, stories about the Apocalypse were passed down orally with only one small papyrus text describing the Apocalypse. The text says "The Earth had become so advanced the Lord up high decided to punish us." This perhaps states the Apocalypse happened in the far future when civilizations have gotten very advanced. The text also says "The Lord up high hath promised us after the Great Flood, but thy seas not overtake our land, but turned to the color of the crimson dress." This is a reference to when 1/3 of the seas turning to blood.

The general agreed time of the Apocalypse is 2000 BI, otherwise known as 4000 AD.

In Chapter 2, Aiko meets to discuss the threat of the warlord about to attack the nearby village of Kamikawamura. She believes they need to aid Kamikawamura, as they will soon suffer the same fate.

If Hiroki chooses the path of love, then he returns to Yomi to spend eternity with her after defeating Kagerou.
Martial Arts

"Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage." **Source**

Crude Tekko

Location

## Description

A horseshoe, repurposed as a simple weapon by a desperate farmer. To strike while holding a Tekko is to grant the strength of iron to a clenched fist.

Raging of Izanagi's betrayal, Izanami birthed the thunder spirit Raijin from her very flesh, and sent her new child to pursue her fleeing husband. With the sound of drums does Raijin herald his deadly arrival. So it is that Yomi is home to fury as well as loss.

## Description

Truly, a miracle! This is the remainder of my mother's Hiogi fan, to join the part I found when I was but a child. Wait, I count 39 blades in total. That would mean this was a fan owned by a woman of an imperial blood. That would mean I am of Imperial blood...
Matching Kai-awase Shell

Location

**Matching Kai-awase Shell** is an artifact that can be found in Chapter 7 of *Trek to Yomi*.

## Description

The pair of the shells I was given so many years ago, a relic of my lost parents' marriage. The paint on this one is intact. Is it meant to represent my parents? Who is it that separates them here?

Snow Scavenger

**Snow Scavenger** is a Enemy in *Wizard with a Gun*.

## Background

What mainlander would brave the cold, vulfs, and barbarians to steal the secrets of Koleye? The Imperium's outpost in Koleye was burned down when the world broke, their papers and tomes scattered like ashes by barbarians angry at the magicks that tore the earth and their kingdom apart.

Now, he has a smile for all, and the fishermen look to him for good fortune.

Where were you this day, Ebisu?
Chaos

**Chaos** is the central enemy of your gun-toting wizard. By the time the game starts, it has already shattered the world and won, so your only choice is to return to The Tower and rewind time, hoping that eventually you'll figure out a way to stop it.

In terms of mechanics, Chaos is set to destroy the world within five minutes of you starting an expedition. The counter can be delayed by destroying Rifts you come across (an Ambush Rift delays Doomsday by 30 seconds, a Dormant Rift by 3 minutes, while a lurking Eye of Chaos miniboss by another three). Once counter hits zero, the world ends and Chaos starts appearing across the map, destroying tiles and spawning high level enemies. While this does yield a ton of Arcana, it's also very dangerous and routinely spawns enemies above your character's level.

Surviving five minutes in a doomed world does unlock an achievement though.

## Enemies

* Chaos Mite
* Eye of Chaos
* Chaos Devourer
* Emissary of Chaos
* The Harbinger of Chaos
Ema

Location

**Ema** is an artifact that can be found in Chapter 2 of *Trek to Yomi*.

## Description

Long ago, we gave horses to the kami shrines, believing the beasts would dutifully carry our requests for aid to the spirits.

Our horses are, of course, too precious now, and so simple wooden tokens instead bear prayers for bountiful harvests and long lives.

Perhaps a real steed would have bought Kamikawamura its safety.
