House of Tesentan

The **House of Tesentan** is a Nydian noble house which was created in 1170 at the moment of coronation of Gaioz Tesentan as the first King of Nydia, marking the beginning of the existence of a native Nydian noble class for the first time in history.

## Coat of Arms

The Tesentan Coat of Arms consists of a shield in front of a crossed axe and sword, with a banner reading the family name above the shield and another banner reading the family motto beneath the shield. At the top and center is a crown representing the house's status as belonging to the Monarch of Nydia. The shield itself is a defensive orientation, with a single stripe of color from the top left to the bottom right. The colors royal purple and wine red represent authority and sacrifice, respectively. The animal in the center of the shield is the Nydian Leopard.

## History

House of Tesentan was established in 1170 by the Revolutionary Council in recognition of Gaioz Tesentan's heroic efforts as leader of the so-called 1st Independence Army, which liberated the Nydian capital of Vanaza from a grueling Steinard siege and later won further victories in Zonă Capitală, Zonă de Câmpie, Zonă Mare, Zonă Steini, and Pădurie.

National Journal: false accusations spreading!

**Accusations against the Duke of Zonă Voru**

Korneli Toreli, 1st Duke of Zonă Voru, has from some groups been accused of being Pro-Steinard due to his former position in the Steinard Army.

These groups that can only be from socialist environments have recently spread untruths and false rumors in the streets of Noyemberyan.

Stories that only have one purpose which are to damage the Duke's reputation and to attack a beloved and respected citizen of Nydia. A defender of Nydia.

It is true that the Duke served as Captain of the Steinard Army at the beginning of the revolution, and that the Duke, as the loyal soldier he is, did his duty as an officer to protect the people around him. This fact, the Duke has been open minded about from the very beginning, but what these liars do not say in their propaganda is that the Duke after a short time joined and chose to fight for the revolution, to fight for a better Nydia, with the result that the Duke's parents and two sisters were brutally executed by Steinard.

They do not write how the Duke fought side by side with our King and served faithfully as second-in-command during the long war for freedom. And today there is absolutely no doubt about where the Duke's loyalty lies, namely with Nydia and the Nydian people.

Therefore, we, this newspaper, strongly wish and hope that you ignore these untruths and attempt to attack the Duke and our Commander.

**A Muslim as Defense Minister!?**

The rumors of the nomination of Imam Fahd Isaam el-Shaikh I, Duke of Balta, as the head of the ministry of defense have caused some dissatisfaction and resistance among a number of citizens.

The National Journal has been approached by several citizens who do not believe a Muslim should occupy an important position as the Minister of Defense of the Kingdom.

Despite the fact that many Nydian Muslims fought side and side with the Christian Nydians during the war, religion is still an extremely important subject for many. And a subject that create divisions.

We tried to get a comment from Duke Korneli, as Provisional Commander of the Nydian Army, and member of the Nydian Apostolic Church, but without any luck.

**Lord Valerian joins the military**

Lord Valerian, son of the Duke of Zonă Voru, has announced that he will join the army and thus follow his father's footsteps. The 19-year-old Lord already has a good education and he plans to take an education as officer in the army.

His Grace **Leonti Hagopi Zuyev, 1st Duke of Steini (Leo Yev)** is a Nydian revolutionary, journalist, broadcaster, politician and speechwriter. Having joined the Nydian Revolution (18 year war), Zuyev played a pivotal role in keeping the forces and populace moralised through speeches, propaganda and rallies. Most notably, Zuyev is known for his "Gentlemen, we are at war" speech. In a speech to rally people into joining the armed struggled, Zuyev told a crowd while standing on a wooden platform, "gentlemen, we are at war. It is not a question of if you must join, it is a statement of fact that, if you wish for your way of life to continue, free from oppression, then you must take up the banner and water the gates of this great land with blood and toil. Gentlemen, we are fighting a war for our lives, our sons and future children of Nydia."

On the issue of establishing a constitution, Zuyev has said: "Fundamentally, we are moulding a new State and all which entails. And all revolutionaries want a State which serves the people. A monarchy would ensure this and entrust our rights. For the monarchy is part of the state and the state, as we have already established, serves the people. Stability is what we crave. I do not apologise for saying, very clearly, that for stability to be our medicine we must have a monarchy - a single figure for the general populace to get behind, to support, to love, to cherish, to look to and to call home."

## Children

Emin Vosgrichian Zuyev, Srabion Ojaghian Zuyev, Maral Ter Zuyev, Stephan Mesropian Zuyev and Leniya Galinyan Zuyev.

## Printing Publisher

Zuyev owns the 'Zuyev Printing Publisher' (ZPP) company which is a major provider of news, media, magazines and newspapers for Nydia, and previously was a sub-group of 'Printing Core Venture' which printed in the Steinard Kingdom. ZPP were the main publishing group during the revolutionary uprising, when the company ran the illegal paper, 'The Revolution' and 'Free Men's Truth'. These platforms were used to spread propaganda and news stories against the Kingdom, promoting the ideals of revolution and separation. 'The Revolution' continues to be printed, however Free Men's Truth has been taken off printing after its reader base switched to 'The Royal Gazette'.

ZPP run a magazine and newspaper called the 'Royal Gazette' and 'Royal Page Press' (respectively). Zuyev uses this platform to bring people around to the idea of a Monarchy, mainly a liberal, restricted Crown Monarchy. The header reads: "PRINTED IN NAME OF GOD AND BIRTH RIGHT OF A SOVEREIGN TO LEAD AND SECURE US". Somewhat controversial considering Zuyev's position in the Revolution Council, althouh Zuyev has defended this positon, claiming he is merely Honorary President of ZPP and no longer has a direct control over publishing or content.

## Dukedom

In early 1171 CE, having helped draft the Constitution, Zuyev was granted a noble title by Gaioz I. In a ceremony held by the King, Zuyev was instituted as: His Grace Leonti Hagopi Zuyev, 1st Duke of Steini. Commonly referred to as The Duke of Steini.

The largest occupied home in Steini is Abdusheli Moor which is home to The Duke of Steini and was formerly used by the King of Stein. There remains a strong influence of Steinard culture and language with most people, especially the adult population, speaking both Nydian and Steinard.

House of Zuyev

The House of Zuyev is a Nydian noble house which was created in 1171 CE for the Leonti Zuyev, a Revolutionary Councillor. The name 'Zuyev' originates from a small village in Voru, meaning 'Axe'.

### Rise to prominence

The founder of the House, Leonti Zuyev, was a Revolutionary Councillor following Nydian independence from the Steinard Kingdom. Along with the other Councillors, Zuyev was offered a title of peerage from King Gaioz I. Zuyev accepted and was later granted the Dukedom of Steini.

The Coat of Arms of the House was designed by Jorvin Pe'treah and features a strong blue colour, representing the family's links with the revolution. Either side of the crest lies an white and golden eagle - representing the family's steadfast commitment to defending the realm and moving forward. The Symbol of an Eagle demonstrates the family's proud history, but even brighter future. Their slogan, 'Deeds Not Words', was decided because it highlights the families revolutionary links where they acted and not just said

All children of the reigning Duke are titled as 'The Lord' or 'The Lady', with the style 'His Lordship' or 'Her Ladyship'. The Duke and Duchess are styled 'His Grace' and 'Her Grace'.

The first Duke, Leonti I, is expected to set the role of the family and future Dukes. It is expected he will cut ties with politics, despite founding The Cavaliers. The respect of the family will depend on how the founder shapes his own reputation. When Leonti I passes, his eldest son, Emin, will become the 2nd Duke.

The Celestial Keys

When the High Fire expedition first came across the city that now bears the same name as its discoverers, the city was protected by a magical barrier preventing entry to all. At an altar in the middle of a small lake northeast of the city, one scouting party discovered a set of instructions left by those who erected the barrier in the event their kin wished to return to the city. These instructions spoke of three discs that had to be inserted into slots in the altar: the Celestial Keys.

The disc of the Moon was discovered on an expedition to the Windy Mountainside off the southern coast, requiring the group to find a way up the perilous paths leading up to a cavern inside the mountain where the disc was found on an old corpse.

Unfortunately, the disc of the Solar Light did not come as easily. The Herald had taken notice of the expedition’s acquisition of the first key, and ambushed the party at a graveyard north of the city, raising Dolls to fight for him in what would eventually go down in history as the Battle of Gravehill. Upon successfully defeating the Herald and his forces, a second disc was discovered embedded in the grave of Maximus Decimus.

The final key was found in the bowels of the earth under the Temple on the Horizon, requiring the party to activate a mechanism in order to reveal the passage leading to the resting place of the disc of the North Star.

With all three discs assembled, the leaders of the High Fire expedition called a meeting to decide the future of their people. Under pressure of the Herald’s aggression towards the expedition, it was decided that the safe harbor offered by the thick walls of the city was worth the risk of lowering the barrier despite a complete lack of knowledge on why it was erected in the first place. And so, the campsite in the hills was abandoned, the barrier was brought down by inserting all three discs, and the exodus to the newly-christened City of High Fire began.

Mr. President, following the conclusion of our young nation's first exercise of democracy -- I want to congratulate my fellow Senators and Premier-elected Njde.

**A BILL TO** establish a framework for how the government operates, set mandatory representation of certain governmental affairs, make provisions towards the overseeing of elections, to set term limits for the executive and legislature, and to standardise definitions relating to the executive.

The Volunteer Army keeps the Order

With the coronation of our great leader Gaioz, as king of the proud Nydia, then I, as the Provisional Commander of the Nydian Army, can declare that the organization of the Nydian Volunteer Army is at an acceptable level.

The war destroyed large parts of our nation's administration, civil service and infrastructure which we still see today, despite the fact that we have now crowned a king and despite the fact that the revolutionary leaders lead our nation on the right path to a brighter future.

As responsible for our armed forces as well as the defense of Nydia while the major discussions goes on - I have ordered the Volunteer Army to carry out a variety of guarding tasks as well as other authority duties where some of them are actually the tasks of the police but which are necessary to take care of until our administration and civil service, including the police, are fully established.

Many veterans from the war with military experience and knowledge will be set to take on leadership in the various units, as our current army consists mainly of volunteers and untrained soldiers - but we still have a significant share of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers and officers, who will assume the task of performing my orders of maintaining peace and order - and to help the people.

In spite of mostly good news and reports from the regions, however, there are also sad episodes which unfortunately have not been inevitable.

Most episodes involve wrong arrests of persons who were believed to belong to or otherwise persons who had supported the enemy, but many of these charges were inaccurate or just insignificant.

In spite of a large-scale mission to arrest people with a serious connection with Steinard for further prosecution, we have nevertheless sees that innocent citizens has been taken by our military forces - in many cases because a neighbor or similar had said the person was involved with the enemy but these accusations were false and instead it all was just about normal disputes between neighbors.

Most of the population has a good opinion of the Volunteer Army, but we also experience some irritations and provocations from citizens who are not always happy about our presence or authority.

Unfortunately, we also have to announce that we have seen a few, but still too many confrontations between citizens and soldiers that have resulted in shots being fired, in five cases, so far, this has resulted in the death of a citizen, as well as a soldier in despair.

Overall, however, the situation is quite fine. And the organization and training of this army goes on as it should.

71 Vanzich Street, colloquially known in the Nydia as 71 Street, is the headquarters of the Government of the Nydia and the official residence and office of the Prime Minister.

Situated in Vanzich Street in the City of Vanaza, Capitală, the building is over 300 years old and contains approximately 100 rooms. A private residence occupies the third floor and there is a kitchen in the basement. The other floors contain offices and conference, reception, sitting and dining rooms where the Prime Minister works, and where government ministers, national leaders and foreign dignitaries are met and entertained.

The residence is characterised by two adorning black doors which have been the centre of much political satire, with the Prime Minister of the day often giving other politicians "the black door".

While there only remains three addresses on Vanzich Street (70, 71, 72), the street bustled with homes of wealthy Steini Oligarchs and 71 was the address of The Count of Vgeorit, a notoriously corrupt noble and alcohol businessman. It was, along with the three other addresses, brought into the possession of the Nydian Government following the Revolution. Now gates surround the street, cordoning it off from the main street, which has been renamed to East Guten-Baxe Street and West Baxe-Guten Street, respectively.

Please be aware that this wiki is a work-in-progress, and we apologise for any unfinished or unclear information or references, inconsistencies, or any other problems you may encounter. Thank you for your understanding - we greatly appreciate it - Mr. Burwell.

## What is the Burwell Railway Supply Company?

The Burwell Railway Supply Company, or B.R.S.C, was formed on 4th April 1945, and was officially opened for business on 3rd March, 1946. It is a British-based company that supplies, designs, manufactures, maintains, and decorates locomotives, engines, railway rolling stock, vehicles and their parts. They specialise in Standard Gauge locomotives, and are best-known for their steam engines.

The owner of the company is a certain Mr. Burwell, and has been so ever since, though the specific Mr. Burwell in question has changed over the years, as the mantle of Ownership and Director has been passed down the generations. All of these 'Mr. Burwells', as they are jokingly referred to, have been pacifists, a fact that in the past has occasionally affected their business relations and success, in both negative and positive ways. This has granted the company outlying support from railways, businesses, companies, and the public in latter years.

Please note that not all of the images of locomotives, rolling stock, vehicles, engines, and other things on this wiki are designed, supplied, manufactured, maintained, or decorated by B.R.S.C, and are for educational, example or explanatory purposes.

Nydian Legislative Election, 1177

The **Nydian Legislative Election of 1177** was an election to determine the composition of the 3rd Senate of Nydia. Due to six-year term lengths, this election did not coincide with an executive election and thus Prime Minister Ferdinand Gotha did not face a challenge. The legislative election did, however, coincide with the nation's first ever local elections. The result was a loss in seats for all three of the largest parties due to expanded competition and criticisms from new parties, as well as weak Senate approval ratings.
The Inauguration of Prime Minister Njde

Following his victory over the NLP's Nanava in the first PM Elections of Nydia, Colonel Dro Njde travelled to Zona Capitala for his official inauguration, from his plantation and home in Zona Voru. In front of the Capital building, in the presence of thousands of supporters, clergy, and government officials, the Colonel, for the first time in this race not wearing his military uniform, placed his left hand upon the Sacred Scriptures, which themselves were ontop of a book of Nydian law. His right hand was raised to Heaven. After is brief, hushed oath, the silent crowd heard him finish with the phrase, ***So help me God Almighty.*** Shortly thereafter, Prime Minister Njde turned to the crowd, and with his eyes raised to Heaven gripped with his left hand the National Flag, and with his right a Suppedaneum Cross with an Icon of the Crucifixion painted on it. ***Our day has begun!*** followed by the cheers of the crowd. Letting go of the flag and setting down the Cross, Njde stated,

***Our time has come, my brothers and sisters. Not so long ago, our Nation was founded, but with the formation of a functioning government, we have negated chaos, dictatorship, and the gaze of foreign powers. Indeed, now our day has begun. Our time has come to make Nydia great, a mighty Nation worthy of the respect for others. Make no mistake, however, this would have happened regardless of whether you chose me, or Mr. Nanava. The transition of power from Stein to the people of this great Country is now complete. We are truly free at last. Great God, Almighty, we are free at last today. I attribute this victory for our Nation to God, and to you, you wonderful people. Now, we must get to work. We must immediately work to repay our debts to our brave soldiers, who sacrificed life and limb for our freedom. We must secure the right of the common man, the farmer and the laborer, from exploitation.

Life magic is a deep and powerful magic that is able to repair, transfer, or at deep cost, even create life. Its most common and simple application is to transfer one’s energy to rapidly speed up the healing of a wound. However, it can do much more. It can be used to help sustain life, to grow it, there are rumours it can even create life, though most of that is unsubstantiated. Such powerful magic comes at a high cost of energy, and skill required.

### Examples of Use:

Healing, Empowering, Boosts of energy

Nydian Local Elections, 1177

The **Nydian Local Elections of 1177** were the first ever series of elections at a sub-national level in the Kingdom of Nydia. Municipal governments called local authorities were elected in 20 different districts nationwide. These elections occurred concurrently with the Nydian Legislative Election of 1177.

## Process

S2-008: The Local Authority and Governance Act of 1175 established so-called local authorities as municipal governments in Nydia. Whichever party received the largest vote share in each district is given the right to name the mayor, who presides over the local authority and has veto power over ordinances proposed in them. The local governments established under this election were nullified shortly thereafter in the landmark High Court decision in *Babloyan v. Central Election Board*
Gaioz I

Children

His Majesty, **Gaioz I** is the monarch of the Kingdom of Nydia and a former military hero who was a pivotal figure in the Nydian War of Independence. He is a celebrated hero among the Nydian population. In 1177, he was declared the first ever non-Muslim Caliph of the East by his Duke, Fahd I Isaam, an Islamic religious leader.

Born to a stonemason family in downtown Vanaza, the then-unknown young man became involved in the independence movement after going to college. He spent his first and only year of college learning how to command an army from the greatest literary works on the subject, and then returned home to Vanaza to share what he had learned with his brethren in the town, training them to fight. A year later, war finally broke out, and Gaioz' heroic fight to lift the siege of Vanaza and later fight to eject the Steinard Kingdom from the whole region of Nydia made him a national hero. So beloved was he that both the commoners and the Revolutionary Council supported making him their King. On April 14th, 1170, Patriarch Cyril III of All-Nydia coronated him as Gaioz I, King of Nydia.
Republican Party

The **Republican Party**, or simply the **Republicans** is a left-wing and Republican political party in Nydia.

The party was founded by Noe Tengiz, a political theorist and Revolutionary Councillor, and Giorgi Margvelashvili, the owner of a prominent Nydian newspaper.

## History

The roots of the party can be found in the more radical elements of the revolution. One of the most important radical and republican militant organisations prior and during the Revolution was the Nydian Youth Federation. R3P founders Noe Tengiz and Giorgi Margvelashvili were prominent members of the organisation, and organised much of it's administrative and publicity operations. Many NYF members hold important positions in the R3P, further cementing the radical and revolutionary socialist nature of the party.

The party had outdone expectations both on the national and local level, strengthening its position in the Senate, electing the nation's third Premier (Zaal Kalinka), tying with the Cavaliers in held local legislatures (9/20) and with the Christian Democrats in Governors' mansions (3/7). The National Alliance of Progressives on the other hand, who had risen from the ashes in 1777 as a strong contender both nationally, but more importantly locally -- fell as fast as it had risen. The NAP lost 10 out of its 21 seats in the Senate, and lost 2 out of its 3 Mayoralities -- Mayor Manu Kostanian (Prog.) being the only one standing. In 1180, the party rebranded from its original name (Radical Republican Revolutionary Party), to simply the Republican Party after a merger with the National Alliance of Progressives.

## Organisation

The administrative apparatus of the Republican Party is the Republican National Committee. The Committee is headed by the Politburo which is the executive organ of the party. The 5 Politburo Seats are filled with the members of the organisations which drive the Republican Party. The breakdown is as follows:

1st Seat goes to the Party Chairman
2nd Seat goes to the Senate Leader
3rd Seat goes to an appointed member by the Nydian Congress of Labor.
4th Seat goes to a Local Authority or Provincial Official
5th Seat is appointed by the Republican Party Membership directly on a 6 year term.

In the Senate, the Republican Caucus is led by a Senate Leader. If the Senate Leader also serves as the Speaker of the Senate, he can maintain his seat at the Politburo.

Provincially, the party is run on independent branches of the Republican Party which are coordinated internally in compliance with the National Party Platform.

Windy Mountainside

The Windy Mountside sits in the middle of the ocean, pulling at the air streams around it. The ocean is pulled up as gusts of wind control the waves, causing them to crash into the rocks and creating an unsafe passage to the mountain. Rocks jet from the ocean, forming a dangerous bridge over to the main mountain. Around the mountain sits platforms of rock, floating due to the multiple air currents keeping them from falling. The top of the mountain is adorned with a fierce windstorm, making it impossible to think or speak.

## History

The history of the Windy Mountainside is mostly unknown from before the new settlers. However, some have indeed traveled there to observe the phenomenon. Crossing the dangerous rocks, the wind patterns were unnatural, constantly changing and pushing in all directions. The sensor amulets began to shake, almost breaking, too. The climb up was constantly affected by the ever-changing winds, knocking some off the side, however catching them in time to also save their lives. Those that venture up the mountain are given a major challenge that tests their will to climb the mountain and see what lies at the top.

## Landmarks

The Mountain itself is considered a landmark, jutting out of the water and being a sight to behold. The pillars leading to the mountain make it look almost artificial as the waves crash against the rocks to shape their formation. Jumping from pillar to pillar is the only way onto the mountain as there is no way up if approached by boat.

Yet another smaller landmark for the Windy Mountainside is the wind storm that sits atop. Almost unnatural and an unusual sight, the storm produces a great force of winds that can easily throw one off the top if not grounded.

Colonel Njde Holds Rally in Zona Voru

With the official start of the campaigning season, Colonel Dro Njde, known by his former men affectionately as "Uncle Dro", held a campaign rally in his homeland of Zona Voru. Within the provincial capital, Colonel Njde, the candidate of the Fatherland Front, was greeted by hundreds of rally-goers, many of them being veterans from the War of Independence. Surrounded by party members with party flags, and a few others who carried large crosses, Colonel Njde declared to his viewers,

> Thank you, thank you, my people. Your welcome home is most appreciated. In this first election of our great nation, we have to tread carefully. This first election will determine much of our nation's path in the near future, whether it be those who are elected to the Senate or to the office of the Prime Minister. It is for this reason that I will not run as an independent, but have been selected to run, unopposed, on the ticket of the Fatherland Front. The Fatherland Front is a patriotic organization that seeks to set about a Government policy that protects our Holy Religion, ensures benefits for our marginalized members of society, and advocates for a strong military that allows our nation to defend itself. Some people think that the threat of the Steinards or other foreign powers are over. Think again, I say. Our nation is like a freshly born child. We are a fledgling state that one of the many foreign hawks would seek to devour. Under the Fatherland Front, we shall move to adulthood, and prevent this threat from existing. We shall establish a strong,
>
>
>
> capable, and dependable military that is able to fight for our interests where needed. Our Government currently does not support our Church, the Nydian Apostolic Church. This is unacceptable. Our Church is one of the largest supporters of the poor, and is clearly beneficial to society, as the primary promoter of upstanding morality and service to the nation. We cannot allow the Church's influence to be blocked out of the Government and erroded from society. Therefore, under the Fatherland Front, the Church shall be given a position of authority in which it may serve to benefit the nation to its best ability, and so that the government may assist the Church in anyway possible.
>
> Through the support of the Church, and through Government programs,
>
> we shall support the marginalized of our society, specifically the unemployed,
>
> the aged, and veterans of our glorious independence struggle. Mark my words, one way or another, this nation will have a Ministry of Veterans Affairs,
>
>
>
>
> and our veterans will be given support for the blood they shed in our national struggle. I therefore, call on all of you, to consider voting for my party, and voting for a great Nydia. **We Will Make Nydia Greater**
