Luna

Photo of Luna during it's Waxing Gibbous Phase in 1901

**Luna** or the Moon is Earth's largest natural satellite and only moon. It orbits Earth once every month going through 8 phases as it moves. It's the largest object in the sky on a clear night and the first celestial body ever identified (ignoring the Sun).

## Earth-Luna System

Luna completes a full orbit around the Earth every 1 month and changes between 8 phases in the Lunar Cycle. Every 2 weeks Luna switches between a New Moon when the Sun's light is hitting the side opposite to the visible side and a Full Moon when the opposite is occurring. The reason why Earth doesn't cast a shadow on Luna is currently explained by hypothesizing that Luna's orbit is tilted slightly and its far enough from the Earth that it allows light to the surface.

### Pre-Colonization Era

In the middle of the Narhon Sea during the early ages of earth, a island formed, later on this island would split into 4 islands, known as *(Listed from South to North)* Maria Island, New Galeria, Stirli Island and Nadon Island, later on decads later in February of 1909 a man of the name of James Altaka left Chistro Port and discovered Maria Island, although odds are other sailors found the islands before, James was the first to map the island and announce it to the world, this would lead to Astros explorer Thomas A. Hermann mapping the island, which would lead to the discovery that it was not just a single island but a island chain, this would lead to James Altaka naming the island chain the Central Narhon Island Chain for the basis that it was at the center of the Narhon Sea, shortly after, mutiple nations would begin to colonize the island, beginning the Central Narhon Race.

### Colonization Era

#### **Central Narhon Race**

After Thomas A. Hermann mapped the islands and James Altaka named it, both Astros and Victalma-Minoa now wanted to get these islands for their empires, Corand, Galeria and Gomboston also wanted to establish colonies on the island which would lead to the Central Narhon Race, 5 settlements in the island chain were established, Port Tactisana (Victalma-Minoa), Dayedanz (Astros), Faelondres (Corand), Pallarin (Galeria) and Falkenhättan (Gomboston). Due to the fact that the Governor of the Victalman-Minoan settlement knew conflict would break out if a border wasn't established, so they called for the Port Tactisana Conference, this lead to the signing of the Treaty of Port Tactisana, which would assign borders on the islands, these border were respected by all nations on the islands, later on the Gomboston territories were purchased by Victalma-Minoa in the Treaty of Falkenhättan or the Nadon Purchase as some call it.

Initially, it was solely a gold mine until in 1882, further excavating resulted in the discovery of copper in the area. Two separate mines were then built until in 1885, silver was found and the third mine joined the other two to become a larger mining complex for the harvesting of several metals. Throughout the rest of the 1880s and 1890s, even more varying metals would be discovered and the mine system expanded to employ nearly 5,000 workers creating a mining town in the vicinity called Aphard City, named after the mine. The Aphard Supermine alone is responsible for about 16% of Wannam's total exports to other countries.

It was also partially a cultural war to convince the Eshan population that the Mäsiars were traitors to prevent any chance of their return to power. The purge was led by the League of Loyal Eshans who acted as both a paramilitary group to harass, gang stalk, and intimidate Mäsiar supporters, and a tool for the government to officially and covertly punish Mäsiar supporters in government. The Office for Investigation of Treason was the primary tool for legal persecution of Mäsiar supporters, especially those in the government or military. Solarev Korolenko, who served as Grand Duke under Imperator Rosen, also served as the head judge in most of the LLE's cases against government and military leaders accused of treason.

During his reign, he brought the House of Mäsiar out of it's imperialist competition with the Ramoyovs that resulted in the disastrous invasion of Victalma in 1830. He turned the Mäsiars into a less radical and extreme alternative to the Ramoyovs and inadvertently started the bloody feud between the two houses which had previously been more honorable. Prior to Ciril, the two houses were equally extremist in their expansionist policies and had a fair deal of respect for each other while attempting to overshadow and outdo each other's glory. However once Ciril took the throne and radically changed his policies to begin slowing Eshan expansion and furthering cooperation with other countries, the Mäsiars became politically distant from the Ramoyovs who began taking on more and more extremist policies to counteract the Mäsiars. Ciril's radical political decisions began the path that led Esha to the 1878 Dynastic Crisis and overthrow of the government by Rosen Ramoyov who turned Esha into the most authoritarian state in the world.

Khiadamese Royal Guard

The **Khiadamese Royal Guard** is an Khiadamese military organization separate from the Khiadamese military, under direct control of the Sultan, however it does often operate under the supervision of the standard military leadership. The modern royal guard was created when Sultan Osahar Al-Ramay reformed the royal guard system in 1859 after the assassination of former Sultan Khahleen by the Ridwani Qadirma terrorist organization. Prior to the terrorist threat, the royal guard functioned mainly in a ceremonial role, not having much influence outside of Morosi and only following the Sultan as a personal bodyguard unit. However, after Osahar's reformation, the royal guard became a proper institution with permanent presence across the empire and a much larger armed force of both military and investigatory personnel. The Morosi Royal Palace itself has around 5,000 permanent royal guardsmen stationed to protect it at all times, making it one of the most closely guarded places on Earth. Terrorist hunting and resistance suppression became one of the royal guard's primary functions as the Khiadamese military became less and less reliable throughout Osahar's reign due to the influence of the High Command. Osahar used the royal guard as a tool of quelling unrest and ending various rebellions, notably the Jarkho Rebellion in 1863, Dumul Caravan Crisis in 1875, Karris Uprising in 1880, Rustar Rebellion in 1882, and most of all the Sahirean Independence Crisis in 1877.

He was orphaned at an early age, around 4 or 5 years old, where he survived on the streets stealing from traders coming through the town. Years later, at the age of 9, Kamara met a Samwonese trader who grew fond of Kamara on one of his travels and informally adopted him, raising him as Samwonese and taking him along on his trading missions throughout the Khiadamese Empire. When Kamara was 14, the Karmine Desert War broke out, and his father left to fight in the Samwonese Volunteer Army, leaving Kamara to run the trading business, promising to return. For the next few years, Kamara would live a caravan lifestyle as the war intensified until, in 1891, the war came to an end. However, the Samwonese continued fighting against the Khiadamese for their independence.

Kamara's father was one of the Samwonese who chose to fight in the independence war but would die in battle shortly before it came to an end. Kamara didn't receive news of his father's death in battle until the next year in 1892 after the Samwonese state came into being. After that, Kamara would grow to hate the Khiadamese government and their empire, blaming them for his father's death and swearing to bring upon its downfall.

League of Loyal Eshans

The **League of Loyal Eshans** (Esha: **Лига Лоиасу Эшаию**) is a paramilitary organization dedicated to the preservation of the House of Ramoyov as the reigning Imperial house of the Eshan Empire. It was founded by Rosen Ramoyov in 1878 as a response to the Grand Duke Dusan Siroky's attempted assassination of Rosen.

Following the civil war, the LLE served as Rosen's personal secret police and political intimidation force. Leadership was given to general Khanilov Tarasovich during the coup and under his reign perpetrated the exile of the House of Mäsiar from Esha along with the subsequent Mäsiar Purge committed against government, military, and civilian supporters of the Mäsiars. Over 40,000 people would be killed by the LLE during the purge and over 100,000 imprisoned over the span of 15 years. The LLE would lose significant power following Rosen's abdication in 1893 and death in 1895, leading to the return of the Mäsiars in the 1890s. In the early 1890s, the LLE began involvement in the Shukhov War, sending multiple volunteer regiments to fight on the behalf of the SLF, numbering around 8,000,

## History

Original members of the LLE consisted mainly of personal security forces of Ramoyov aristocrats, local garrisons and volunteers. The structure of command was much looser than it would later become with little difference between ranks. Most soldiers brought their own firearms or took firearms from Ramoyov loyal armories. Early uniforms consisted of only a soldiers own clothes and a yellow cloth armband with LLE printed or written in ink on them.

During the March to Aspya, many more civilians joined the LLE's ranks as volunteers and not all could afford armbands and many improvised by tying multiple belts around their arms.
Astrolanion Invasion of Qaturah

The **Astrolanion Invasion of Qaturah** was a brief war between Astros and the Sultanate of Qaturah in 1896. Because of the Qaturan government's focus on supplying the rebellion in the south against occupying Lanodolan forces, the Qaturan army was taken off guard by the Astrolanion army and many surrendered immediately upon encountering Astrolanion forces. The capital, Saikha, fell with no resistance. The remaining Qaturan army and it's partisan supporters fled directly to the south where they joined the already growing rebellion, eventually retaking the coastal capital of Khajan and causing the Lanodolans to withdraw after a 50 year long occupation of the south.

## History

### Azalorn Crisis

In 1902, the Vinnish Empire began expanding its influence and relations outside of the Grutians and Euronia. Seeing how Kaden and Drekie were restricting Vinnish expansion in the Grutians and the situation developing into the Azalorn Crisis in the east with Esha, the Kaiser began friendly relations with Esha. This soon turned into Vinnish support of Azalorn's independence from Kaden and further alliance with Esha. Eventually in September, 1902, Vineland and Esha signed a treaty together that warned Kaden if Azalornian Independence was intervened, they would go to war with the Tripartite Pact. This treaty worked and the Treaty of Bisbon was nullified and Azalorn was given mostly independence.

## Anthems

### Here We Stand

**[National: 1903]**

**[Nova Colborme: 1903 - Present]**

Made in the early years of the Victalman Kingdom this song would be the first anthem of the kingdom. However nearing the end of the Victalman Expansion Period it was decided to be replaced for the current national anthem, though Nova Colborme decided to keep the anthem as its own personal one.

### United We Stand

After the kingdom was founded it was decided to replace the old anthem "Here We Stand" with one more fitting for the kingdom specifically, it was decided the government would hold a music competition, people would compose music then send it to the capital building where a competition was held. After mutiple months "United We Stand" was declared the winner of the contest as it was adopted across the kingdom, it remains the national anthem to this day.
House of Mäsiar

The **House of Mäsiar** is a one of the primary reigning houses of the Eshan Empire. Leaders of the Mäsiar House often compete with their rivals, the House of Ramoyov, for control and influence over Esha. This conflict culminated in the 1878 Dynastic Crisis that saw Ramoyov leader Rosen lead a Ramoyov loyalist army to Aspya, overthrowing the reigning Imperator, Oraz, and usurping the throne. This triggered a brief civil war between Mäsiar loyalists and Ramoyov loyalists along with a war against the Dun kingdoms. Following the coup and civil war, most members of the Mäsiar bloodline were either exiled or killed, along with their government and civilian supporters during the Mäsiar Purge in the 1880s.

**Jupiter** is one of four discovered Gas Giants in the Solar System. It's an estimated 8.1082e+8 or 810,820,000 kilometers from the Sun. It has an estimated orbital period of 12 years however the solar day is unidentified. Jupiter is classified as a Gas Giant due to its mass, density, and appearance.
Bisectionary Mountain Range

The **Bisectionary Mountain Range**, also referred to as the Great Divider, Great Wall of the Earth, Heaven's Gates, along with hundreds of other names, is a supermassive mountain range running through Lubria, Euronia, Asoya, and Kornica. It has a total length of around 7,000 miles from it's most northern tip in Astros to it's most southern tip in Minoa.
Emberg

**Emberg** (EM-BERG) is the largest in terms of population of 10 different districts in the Vinnish capital of Vorline. As of 1903, it's estimated population is around 115,000 and is the most populated district. It's current mayor, Gabriel Fein, was voted into office in 1902 with a 78% majority vote. It currently had 5 sub-divisions; Schuttler, Kiesel, Lichtenfels, Posse, and Anderle.
Communist Party of Esha (Legacy)

The **Communist Party of Esha** (Eshan: Soikildao Nareti Eshyarik) or the Eshan Communists are a political party and underground resistance movement in Esha against the monarchist government. The party has no official leadership as it is banned in Esha and those found to be members are heavily persecuted, leading to its current state as an underground movement fighting against the current monarchy. The underground fighters were common allies of the Yellow Army during the Junoan Civil War, delivering supplies, ammo, food, and Eshan weaponry to Yellow Army camps.
Dumul Caravan League

The **Dumul Caravan League** is a major caravan league in Khiadam, however mainly only engages in trade with the Republic of Samwon and Ctesh. Dumul holds a large monopoly on trade with the Samwonese both in and out of the empire compared to larger caravan leagues like Nezura and Janor. In 1904, Dumul was nationalized by the Khiadamese government after it was discovered Dumul caravans were being used to smuggle weapons and supplies to the Samwonese resistance. Their current leader is Dayan Shinghkhor who was appointed in 1905. Unlike other caravan leagues, Dumul doesn't have it's own security force, rather it's monitored and protected by the Khiadamese Army.
Bayukahn Rotary Gun

The **Bayukahn Rotary Gun** or **Model-83 Nitori** is a Laraisan rotary cannon developed during the Karmine Desert War. It was designed in the Laraisan Nitori Military Research Facility, a state-run military development facility that designs most weapons used by the Laraisan Army. It features six barrels and could fire around 150 rounds per minute. It takes 52mm Laraisan rifle rounds in 30-count and later 60-count boxes of ammunition. It was fielded for the first time during the 1889 January Offensive where around 2,000 units were produced. It weighed around 100lb or 45kg and was the smallest rapid fire gun of it's time. It was designed to be mass produced and thusly, did not have as high a firing rate and jammed frequently, but was easy to clean and transport. Part of the January Offensive's success has been attributed to the widespread use of the Bayukahn against Khiadamese soldiers who had never seen a machine gun before.

The Bayukahn's introduction into the war sparked several developments by the Khiadamese Army in response, mainly leading to the creation of the Khiadamese Pith Helmet in 1890, which would be adopted by most Khiadamese front line infantry by the end of the war. A temporary counter was created in the Qayel-90 Rotary Gun, an almost exact copy of Bayukahns that were captured from the Laraisans, but was never produced in the same quantities because of a shortage of newer smokeless cartridge ammunition the Qayel-90 used. Other developments include metal armor worn by infantry and the commissioning of the Eshan Kirilov-1890 Longrifle, used by Khiadamese snipers to render Bayukahns ineffective. Later, after the war ended, the Bayukahn became the basis for the Khiadamese A-32 Machine Gun created in 1893 which would end up being one of the most mass produced machine guns in history with over 10,000 A-32s existing in multiple countries by 1900. The Bayukahn also was eventually sold to the Khiadamese Army in limited quantities after 1897 because Khiadam was no longer seen as a threat to Laraisan expansion, where they would serve fighting against the Samwonese Liberation Army in Northeastern Khiadam.
Nezura Caravan League

The **Nezura Caravan League**, commonly referred to as simply Nezura, is a Narah trade league operating in the Western Narah capital of Nezura. It's currently headed by former Khiadamese general Ayyur Ag'Idir. The NCL is the largest caravan league within Khiadam, with nearly 20,000 members, owning a large private army for defense of the caravans.
Drecan Republic

The **Drecan Republic** or just **Drecy** is a country in the Grutian Islands in Western Euronia. In 1900 it has a population of 40 million with most of them speaking French, but German and Italian speaking minorities in the east. It's capital, Puroux, sits on the Puzieu river in northern Drecy. The Drecan Republic was born on June 26th, 1850 when the last Drecan king, Jules Dubois, abdicated and allowed a democratic government to take power and Marc Martin became the first President after a popular election in 1851.
Church of Cartadura

The **Church of Cartadura** (Auri: Església de Cartadura) is the official religious organization of the territorial government of Cartadura. It was founded in 1874 by Auri Bishop Orió Acosta following General Zaratava's 1873 coup against the Islamic Ourcian government. It was established to both strengthen the government's power through religious influence and to purge Islamic influence.
Amber Pattern-1871 Rifle

The **Amber Pattern-1871 Rifle** is a Khiadamese service rifle designed in 1871 by designer Zuhal Amber. It saw considerable action during the Karmine Desert War where it equipped over a million men in the Khiadamese Army. It was chambered for the black powder 8x50mm Cartridge and used a trapdoor action for reloading that held only one round at a time. By the time it was employed against the Laraisan Army in 1887, the Amber Rifle was outdated compared to the smokeless, 5-round magazine, bolt-action Kysho Model-35 Rifle used by the Laraisan Army. Despite this disadvantage, the Khiadamese overnumbered the Laraisans and pushed them back until the 1889 January Offensive. After the subsequent defeats, in 1890 the Khiadamese government was desperate to find a replacement for the Amber and began importing Gavrila M1890s from Esha. Although the M1890s helped to shorten the technological gap, it wasn't until later that year the Khiadamese Hasseni Pattern-1890 Bolt-Action Rifle was created which would begin replacing the Amber by the end of the war in 1891. The Pattern-1890 was designed very quickly to get it manufactured as fast as possible so was often poorly built and malfunctioned frequently, so the Amber continued to be preferred by many Khiadamese soldiers anyways. The army wouldn't get a proper replacement until several years after the war ended with the Hasseni Pattern-1895 being manufactured in far smaller quantity to ensure quality of the rifles. Up to 1900, the Amber continues being the most common rifle of the Khiadamese Army with the Gavrila M1890, Pattern-1890, and Pattern-1895 only equipping around half the Khiadamese Army.
Mars

Mars with both of her moons in 1914.

**Mars** is one of an unidentified number of planets orbiting the Sun. In Western nations, Mars is often referred to as the "Red Planet" due to it's observed red surface and atmosphere. The planet is estimated to be around 300 million kilometers from the Sun. It has an estimated orbit period of 2 years and an estimated solar day of 26 hours.

## Discoveries

### Polar Ice Cap

In March of 1904, several Astrolonian astronomists discovered that Mars had what appeared to be a polar ice cap at its northern tip. Currently, there is no common consensus among the scientific community about how the ice cap got there and more observations since have been made by Astrolonians. The most popular and likely theory is that at one point Mars had running water on it before some sort of astronomical event changed the geography and climate of the planet, most likely related to atmospherical changes.

## Moons

Mars is observed to have two small moons only a few hundred km in diameter for both named Phobos and Deimos. It is currently unknown which is larger or if they are the same size. Their orbits around Mars also have yet to be calculated however Phobos is consistently observed to have a smaller orbit.
