Gimliland

Motto: And my axe!

### NOTE: When reading this article, the reader must have this video on loop the whole time. Also, this article includes spoilers for Final Fantasy 6, Undertale 2 and minor spoilers for homestuck. Thank you.

**Gimliland** is an autonomous state in which the events of ***Gimmiko*** take place, and is where the Gimmick Temple is situated. It is located in the mythical mountains of Japan, the land of *Gensokyo.* It is one of the largest and wealthiest states in Gensokyo. It's establisher and leader is the wellKNOWN gnome and local deity *Gimli.*

## National Symbols

Gimliland's previous flag was an axe in front of a standard die on the background of yellow. The axe represented Gimli himself, with the die being a symbol of pride and joy of the technological prowress of gimliland, while the yellow background was the sign of wealthiness.

However, during the events of Gimmiko, the *Jabberwock* did it's magical hoodoo voodoo thing to legally put a picture of a transparent object similar to a phallos on the flag, which represents the zero fucks it gives. (not shown on the page)

Gimli liked the number 43, as it is the count of orcs he killed during the Battle of Helm's Deep, a single orc more than Legolas.

Also, one of Gimliland's major symbols is the number 38. It is a number that seems to always follow this nation in hardships and easyships, but only the advanced know about this mythical number

## History

### War Of The Triad

Somewhere soon after the universe was created via Homestuck bullshit, three gods, Willy, Billy, and Nelly, also known as The Warring Triad descended from the heavens and started the War Of The Triad. They took many creatures as slaves and gave them magic powers, for which they will be known as espers. Soon the gods realized they were causing incredible damage to the planet, so they gave the espers freedom and petrified themselves, sealing away their powers from anyone seeking to use them. Their last words were "Never must we be woken." Magic continued to be used after the war, and espers continued to live, some of the most known examples of which are Gandalf and The Photorealistic Bear.

### An Unexpected Party

After the events of Lord of the Ring and establishing the dwarf settlement in the *Glittering Caves,* Gimli went together with his dear friend *Legolas* to the *Undying Lands* for his friend's sake and to see *Galadriel*, the royal Elf that is the love of his life, and was never seen in the Middle-Earth ever again. That is because during their great travel, Gimli and Legolas learned of *Jesus Christ* and his ways, and decided to go to Jerusalem to help him. They swam over the great ocean and arrived to Siberia. Unfortunately, they soon found out that Jesus Christ was crucified a year before they arrived to the snowy lands. Knowing the road back will be long, the friends decided to setup a camp together with the local folk of Siberia they picked up on the way in a place that, in the future, will be the city of *Yakutsk.*

Meanwhile, it was actually Jesus' brother, Isukiri, who was crucified, while Jesus was escaping through Siberia to Japan to find peace. During his ventures, the savior arrived to the village and after noticing the christian church that has been built by Gimli himself, he told Gimli and Legolas of his plans and asked them for their help. They immediately agreed and, after a long, 12 year long journey in chimera years, successfuly arrived to Japan in 28077 B.T.o.F. (Before Tomb of Friends).

### The Breaking of the Fellowship

After arriving to Japan, Gimli and co. split up to do their own thing. Jesus goes to Shingō, Aomori and becomes a garlic farmer, Legolas establishes a small town near the sea on Orzen island and gives birth to 316 children, most well known of which are *Cai Digamma, Akira Nishikiyama, Sephiroth* and *Shigeru Miyamoto*. He is still alive and you can visit him right now!

Gimli decided to travel through Japan. He made many great friends, some of which were *Gimmiko's Father,* who Gimli found while Gimmiko's Father was running 1444 circles through Japan in preparation for an ancient event that was called "Fortnite". He was one of the establishers of The Gimmick Temple and first espers in the War of the Triad. Also he met one of the establishers and goddesses of the Gimmick Temple, as well as one of the only Maiar remaining on earth, Ayumu Osaka. She is said to have created the Gimmick technology together with her friend and closest friend and gimmick priestess and nearest friend, Chiyo Myahama.

Except gods, Gimli also met many great espers. Wario, who is the great hero of legends of the mysterious Gensokyo land. He hit Gimli on the head with a bottle and they became friends for a long time. The dwarf also found one of his strongest comrades back then, *The Photorealistic Bear*, who helped him escape during the great forest fire of 28046 B.T.o.F. that was caused by *Mario's Time Machine*'s frictions with the fabric of reality. He also met *Kasane Teto*, who 2000 years later will greatly assist with popularizing the Gimliland culture throughout the world.

While in his travels, Gimli learned and found himself deeply intruiged in the land of Gensokyo due to all the exclusive magic and resources in the land that he could sell over at Middle-Earth for great money. He wanted to settle somewhere and start a mine, but he could not scoure up much folk for his cause. That was until 56080 B.T.o.F. in Chimera Years, when fucking orcs from mordor blew up the Gimmick shrine and started the short Gimmick-Orc war that lasted for 2 years. Gimli and Legolas united once more, and with the help of the gimmick priests, destroyed the Orc army.

Many of the Orcs that survived the war stayed at Japan as a threatened minority. Some of those Orcs crossed with the local youkai and ate a major amount of soils, evolving into Mares, a nation of greasy imps.

Without a home, Osaka agreed to help the gnome with his goals. And so, in 28038 B.T.o.F. near the border of Gensokyo, a small town was settled. And it was named **Gimliland**.

## *Gimmiko: The Fellowship of the Ring*

### The Taming of Sméagol

Gimliland became a striving, strong town, and soon became a country. The Gimmick Temple was built, which was researching and developing new gimmicks and giving its prayers to Osaka. Japan did not mind a whole country being inside of it, since it provided much to the Japanese economics, such as gimmicks, metals, etc.

### In the House of Tom Bombadil

In the 500s, the War of the Magi started. Gimli, as the smart, almost 600 year old feller he is, took advantage of the war by extracting esper magic and selling them to the highest bidder. It wasn't simple to obtain the magic though, as he usually had to take some of his strongest warriors, usually The Bear, Wario and Kasane Teto, and go on quests to find espers. That party was called "The Fellowship of the Axe" Usually he either made them business propositions or, if that didn't work, beat them until they turned into magicite.

During one of his quests in 543, he faced the esper Janus. It was a powerful slime living in the River of Decay who could control the flow of time, making things in a certain area slower or faster. It declined The Fellowship's offer, for which they did what they knew best and attacked the beast. After a tough, long battle, the time slime gave up and, before it died, had pulled its final ace from its sleeve: It embedded it's magicite on Gimli's nape and freezed him in time, leaving him in a state where he is not alive, but not yet dead either.

Devastated, the fellowship took him to the Gimmick Temple. Pulling out the magicite was out of the picture, as that would immediately kill Gimli, and breaking the curse directly would require the magic equivalent of 10000 moons hitting the earth all at once, so Lady Osaka did the only thing she could and transferred to him a large chunk of her magic. That allows him to brute force the curse and continue his blood flow despite it. The curse was still stopping the aging process, so Gimli cannot die naturally for as long as the curse remains. Also, while it was a huge chunk of Osaka's magic, it only allowed him to live no more than a 1000 years, which, while sounds like a lot, will end at some point. Gimli had to search for a new source of magic or a way to destroy the wrath entirely so he can continue to be a King for Another Day.

### The Mirror of Galadriel

After all that had happened, Gimli did not seek out espers again. He even helped them, as Gimliland was one of the only kingdoms which did not threaten espers and magi and even invited them to live there in Gensokyo. Espers thought of accepting the kingdom's offer, but, knowing about Gimli's previous escapades, were suspicious of him, so they instead fled to the Esper World and left the gate hidden on a far away island known as Itoi island.

In 1381, pepper was first imported to Gimliland. Even though most had no idea how to use it, It became a large hit and a huge competitor to salt. The country divided into three teams: Dave Matthews, Pepper Team and the Sugar Team, consisting of weenies and small baby toddlers.

Somewhere in 1400s, Kaguya was born from an unknown priestess at the Gimmiko Temple. About a dozen years later The Jabberwock was hatched and started causing Jabberwock nights. It was greatly concerning to everyone, but not that much since they could depend on Giml, Kaguya, Osaka and everyone else for it to be defeated.

In 1456, Wario was banished out of jealousy to an alternate timeline after he had outfarted The Great Dragon God, where he was cloned to create the Mario Bros, project, where he was cloned to keep the fart smeller in check. It resulted in Mario's, Luigi's, Sponge's, Grand Dad's and many other's birth.

### A Short Cut to Mushrooms

In 1600s, the events of ***Final Fantasy VI*** started. The Gestahlian Empire learned of magic and started conquering everything. Gimliland was one of the most major forces of the Returners. However, everything went to shit and Kefka became god. The World of Ruin stared and all hope was lost. However, the party was assembled once more and defeated Kefka, annihilating the Warring Triad for the betterment of the everyment.

However, with the disappearance of the three gods, the little magic that was left in the world starts to disintegrate and becomes lost to legends. The remaining magic users started coming to Gensokyo due to the remoteness of the place and Gimliland's friendly attitude to espers. Mt. Itoi was considered to dangerous to come back to, so most espers left their posessions there. The place soon will be forgotten, and nothing will be left in the memory of the world except an old lullaby.

In 26373 B.T.o.F. Osaka, together with Chiyo, have mysteriously disappeared overnight. Osaka's diary was found at her house, the last entry of which read: "It's all so crystal clear now..." The land was left out of balance, so after a lot of discussions and votes, Kaguya became the new Goddess of The Gimmick Temple, as she was one of the only descendants of Osaka left.

In 1885, *the Great Hakurei Barrier* was established to stop contact with humans and preserve magic. Most were happy with this decision, including Gimli, who, while lost some business in the outside world, was strong enough to pass through it anyway, so he could easily meet Legolas and his other outside friends, notably FЯED.

### The Field of Cormallen

Gimli made great friendships with most of the touhou girls, always visitting them and participating in their antics. For example, Gimli, along with a crew of his mates, built the *Scarlet Devil Mansion*. Gimli was directly responsible for the events of ***Imperishable Nights***.

On July 16th, 1945, Hapoten, also known as Bob, was brought upon Gimliland.

In 2008, Kasane Teto left Gensokyo with the help of Gimli to pursue a career out in the "Real" world. She became friends with many voice banks and vocaloids, including *Akita Neru*, who is the mother of *Gimmiko Rap MAN!.*

In 2015, Gimli played Undertale in English and enjoyed it a lot. Wow!

At the end of 2010's, a dirt hole house was built on the territory of Gimliland for a youtube video and abandoned, in which the Bear, Merciboy, Zo and her family reside now

### The Breaking of the Fellowship

Presumably in 2023, the events of ***Gimmiko*** started happening. This Jabberwock night is especially troublesome for the history of this nation. A large portion of dice operators were slaughtered in the Second Mass Genocide of Gimmick Temple Priests during the recent events of MABD. Gimli is busy defending the sovereignity of Gimliland due to ***Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost*** taking place at the same time as Gimmiko. A very notable fact is the gradual depression of the people, as they lose hope of defeating the Jabberwock.

The Jabberwock then was finally slayed by GImmiko (i think)

In 2023, Gimli directly responded to media about the events that has happened on Fazbear Fright, quoted: "What the Lord Allmighty?"

Alright! Let's continue!

### Mount Itoi

Seriph found the long abandoned island and made Marisa insane to find "the hatch". Thus was created **Undertale 2**. In 2038, Gimli noticed that the people of Gensokyo are disappearing, so an investigation was started. Legolas, hearing from the dwarf about the incident, also noticed that his villagers are disappearing while fishing. Knowing about the lullaby, Legolas asks his greatest creation, Cai Digamma, to go to Itoi and investigate. He gladly agreed, as he also had an ambition to get the wishgem.

After Cai kicked Seriph's ass and got the dream stone, Legolas forced him to give it to him, as his friend's term was soon to end, and the wishgem could give Gimli enough magic to live for another hundred thousand years.

Gimli, while glad for the gift, was shocked to learn about the sad fate of those girls, as he had been close friends with them. Him and Marisa used to always watch FЯED together. He cried a river of tiers, and was so sad that the economy of Gimliland fell into a depression. He realized that his goal now was to return balance to Gensokyo.

Later that day a new wishgem appeared right before Cai. He kept it in secret from everyone but his closest friends, in fear of Legolas taking it from him once more, and started venturing into dreambubbles, mastering the magic of the gem and becoming the true Onironaut. It will be the key object in **Undertale Endgame**.

### The Voice of Saruman

The Gimliland Government (GG) prepared a plan that was suppposed to reconstruct the balance of Gensokyo in 300 years. Several key decisions played a part in reviving Gensokyo, primarly the ones stated in the Gimliland Revitalization Manifesto by a major politian of that time Brolbo Blombo, who is the fifteenth grandchild of Zo:

* More gold
* More Gimmicks
* all equals More Cash

One of the other decisions that played a role was the Gimliland government's plan to take over Gensokyo. It was created and majorly promoted by Gimli, who, well over the age of 2000 and not fitted for such a long life, has lost all mental capacity to rule a country, yet none of his charisma and power to lead reckless projects. The Dwarf's senility usually didn't make him resort to violence though, not after 543. It was after he had received the wishgem, The Neo Arkenstone, that he became barbarous and deceitful. In his head, he thought he was saving Gensokyo, but in reality he was misusing the unlimited power of the wishgem to garner even more control than he had before.

In 2055, Gimli went to the Outside World for the last time in a thousand years. It was a regular visit to Legolas. It is unknown what they were talking about there, but it is known that he did not tell Legolas about the war.

### Many Partings

***PARROT JUMPSCARE!***

And so, supported by a staggering amount of people in the country, Gimli began the Great Gensokyo War in 2055 (26062 B.T.o.F.) The events of this war will be adapted by ZUN in Touhou 38: The Dreams of a Delirious Onironaut.

The first wave of the Gimli-Gensokyo war was on july 15th, 4 A.M. which started with a sudden attack on Youkai Mountain, as it was seen as one of the more important places to capture. The entire population of Gensokyo was reasonably upset with the unreasonable violence of the Gimliland government. A battle of unimaginable propotions started, with creatures of the Netherworld being brought from the dead, the Myouren Temple rising into the sky again, and montains being destroyed. The only truly effective defence the Gimliland Army had was the Gimmick technology, which, while were greatly overpowered at that point in time, were not enough to stop "All hell breaking loose". Only Gimli had enough power to contest the entire population of Gensokyo. With his trustworthy wishstone, Gimli became known throughout the land as "The Onironaut", and feared everywhere.

He carried the whole fucking thing. He spared no creature that was not of Gimliland pedigree. He strangled Yuugi with his bare hands. He tortured Mokou until satisfied and threw her into space through the Barrier. Each kill made him stronger and stronger.

No citizen of Gimliland, however, was happy with this war. When it began, came hunger and fear, as all attention and money of the government went into supporting Gimli rather than the nation. They became afraid of Gimli, praying to him as some sort of sick god to let them live another day.

Not everyone was so condoning, however. Kaguya, with her now grown up daugher GImmiko, were the main opposition against the war. Gimmiko's Father has mysteriously disappeared many years ago, some claiming that he was one of the only Gimliland citizens to go to the Outside World to play SBURB. Seeing how futile their actions to stop the war were, they have started preparing a plan to stop Gimli directly.

Afraid for the fate of Gensokyo, Yukari Yakuma crossed the Great Hakurei Border to notify Legolas of his friend's actions. having not heard from his friend in a long time, the elf was shocked with the gnome's actions. For the first time in thousands of years, Legolas has entered the territory of Gimliland. Gimli was out of town due to the war, so Legolas quickly met up with Kaguya and began planning the resistance. They united the only ones who could counter Gimli, thus creating The Gimmiko Team. A signal for help was sent to Gimli, to which he immediately arrived back to Gimliland, finding Legolas and The Gimmiko Team. The Onironaut, however, did not recognize any one of them. He had long forgotten his true goals, now only acting upon his impulses. It was as if some sort of higher power was urging him forward, a demonic presence.

In any case, he didn't listen to any of Legolas' pleas and went straight for the kill, resulting in their quick, determined extermination. Kaguya, shocked by such an outcome, immediately moved onto plan B and evacuated the prepared townsfolk through the Great Barrier with Yukari's help, and were not heard of again. Gimli was now all alone against the whole world. A thought that did not disturb the emotionless Onironaut.

In 3555 (24562 years B.T.o.F.) The Onironaut took over Gensokyo after the gruesome genocide of the entire population, including all the yokai, humans, animals, espers and ghosts. However, Gensokyo was not enough for Gimli.

### The Last Debate

The Onironaut destroyed the Great Hakurei Barrier, using all of his and the wishgem's magic. The power emanating from the wishgem was so powerful, it sent itself back into the past to better-suited hands. That did not bother Gimli though, as the power he got from the wishgem through all the time with it was enough to feed him for another fifty thousand years. Upon setting foot into the Outer World for the first time in a 1500 years, he found out that the world has become barren. He scoured the lands for any sort of civilization, but only found ruins of elden cities and natural lands recovering. The only population the demented dwarf found were small villages of Trolls, Calliope, Consorts, whom he all confuses with youkai, and Humans.

The Onironaut was ready to smite them all from the face of the earth in his wrath, but upon closer inspection he realized that the folk were completely uneducated and undeveloped. Gimli, for the first time in a thousand years, has decided to make peace, thinking they were too weak after fighting the mightiest of the touhou girls. Gimli had decided to educate the people, as he still remembered a thing or two from *Cirno's Perfect Math Class*, as well as help them with their architecture. The new population accepted Gimli with open arms and proclaimed him God. Everyone's united love for Gimli is what will stop any racism from happening on Earth C in the future.

After a hundred years of ruling over the Earth, away from the wishgem, the Gnome's mental health started to heal. In his domain, he drew pictures of blonde elves, gray-haired wizards, powerful dice, photorealistic bears and maid dressed witches, but he was unable to remember any one of them. In his search for answers, he disappeared from the public eye and started travelling the world, taking in the sights and trying to study the new flora and fauna, even if he couldnt memorize it for longer than a day. That continued for 15 years, until in 3354, he accidentaly stumbled upon the ruins of the Gimmick Temple. While the senile dwarf could not recognize the place, he felt a close connection to it. Upon entering it, he was greeted by a mutant camp with two mutants, one pink and the other orange, a barrel of toxic waste and a campfire. They were barely conscious, but followed Gimli as one of their own.

There, he found old photographs, unused Gimmicks and elden statues, however none of those things brought him any memories back. At last, he found his old throneroom, completely untouched, and even with lit torches, all in different colours. Looking at his royal throne, Gimli remembered nothing, and found it simply a comfortable chair for his small body, so he has decided to sit on it. Upon placing his bottom on it, his eyes shined with a blistering light. All his memories, all his mental capacity, all his emotions, they all came back to him in a flash. The temple began shaking uncontrollably. The master dwarf, unable to contain his fear and shame, was burying the temple underground. Slowly, but surely, the Gimmick Temple was claimed by Belphegor, consuming Gimli and the two mutants with it, fleeing this vile world with the vilest worms to dwell.

And so, Gimli sat there, motionless, becoming the New Ignoramus.

### The Grey Havens

Somewhere in the years 7000 (21000 B.T.o.F.), The Homestuck kids came from the past and divided the earth, now known as Earth C, into 4 kingdoms. There, they lived happily and peacefully (probably).

Somewhere in 23000s B.T.o.F., Olmec came to Earth and said "This fucking sucks", and in 20000s B.T.o.F. wiped the whole thing. The only part of the past he was simply unable to erase was Gimli's tomb, but his power was enough to be able to open the thing. The tomb was unsealed and the two trapped mutants finally escaped. In the future, their descendants Heap and Stack will find this tomb, and they will name it "The Tomb of Friends".
