Old Gods of the Reach

The **Old Gods of the Reach**, or simply the **Old Gods**, are a pantheon of innumerable and unnamed spirits of nature, which are worshiped by many people of the Reach and fewer people of the Empire of the First Man.

It is the chief religion of Man, and was once the chief religion of Cerulea, but it has now been supplanted by the religions of the Elevae, which were brought to Cerulea by the Rhedonians and Martorians. Though these religions have coexisted for more than hundreds of years, there is still tension between the most devout adherents of the various faiths.
Knights of Aelewyn

Banner of the Knights of Aelewyn (and Ascendancy of Light)

The Knights of Aelewyn are an esteemed order of warriors dedicated to upholding the teachings and ideals of their patron deity, Aelewyn, the Goddess of Light and Purity. They are revered as the foremost defenders of Martoria and the embodiment of honor, chivalry, and unwavering devotion.

Clad in their distinctive black plate armor adorned with intricate gold accents, the Knights of Aelewyn present a formidable sight on the battlefield. At the center of their cuirass, a large golden sun, symbolizing the divine radiance of Aelewyn, shines brightly, serving as a powerful reminder of their sacred purpose and their connection to the goddess's light.

The order adheres to a strict code of conduct, emphasizing the virtues of courage, integrity, and selflessness. They dedicate themselves to the pursuit of justice, defending the innocent, and opposing tyranny and corruption in all its forms.

The order operates as a cohesive unit, with a hierarchical structure led by the Grand Master, who serves as the highest authority and embodiment of the knightly virtues. Under the Grandmaster's guidance, the knights organize themselves into smaller chapters and engage in regular drills, missions, and quests to uphold the order's mission.
3 French Babies

The 3 French Babies are the primary protaganists of the popular podcast series "3 French Babies Pretending to be a Waiter". These 3 French Babies claim to be brothers, although their only similarities are their age and their nationality. Whether related or not the 3 French Babies, French Baby Une, French Baby Deux, and French Baby Trois, all group together as The Waiter and use their powers of deception to fight and iradicate crime in the fair streets of their hometown, Paris.
French Baby Trois

French Baby Trois is the powerhouse of the french baby trio in popular podcast series "3 French Babies Pretending to be a Waiter" Not much is yet known about the mysterious character of French Baby Trois however, we do know that he has a tragic backstory, something from his past that still haunts him to this day.

French Baby Trois, sometimes shortened to "Trois" acts as the torso of The Waiter, as he is the most swole of the babies and therefore best suited to the job. He is often quoted as saying "oui oui i am the swollest of the 3 french babies pretending to be a waiter, look at me look at me i am tres fantastique!". French Baby Trois speaks with a lower pitch voice than his "Brothers" and this remains to be his most defining trait, as all babies kinda look the same.
Robocop FanBaby

Robocop FanBaby is a recurring character in the popular podcast series "3 French Babies Pretending to be a Waiter" originally thought to be the popular sci-fi character Robo-Cop, the 3 French Babies later learn that he is an imposter, as he himself is pretending to be Robocop (see also RoboCop) but is actually a baby. This is the first of many twists in the popular podcast series "3 French Babies Pretending to be a Waiter" and comes as a shock to all those involved, other than Italiano Bambino, who is already aware of his deception.

Ascendancy of Light

Banner of the Ascendancy of Light (and Knights of Aelewyn)

**The Ascendancy of Light**, also referred to as the **Church of Aelewyn**, is a religious order dedicated to the worship of the Essevaean Goddess of Light and Purity, **Aelewyn**. The Ascendancy tasks itself with spreading the dogma and carrying out the wishes of Aelewyn. Founded in the year 1 A.C., the Ascendancy of Light, while not as widespread and dominant as other religions on the Continent, has been the state religion of **Martoria** since the latter's founding.

## Knights of Aelewyn

While officially an independent order, the Knights of Aelewyn are heavily intertwined with the Ascendancy of Light. Many (if not all) of the Knights of Aelewyn are members or followers of the Ascendancy of Light. The Ascendancy coordinates much of its efforts together with the Knights of Aelewyn and provides the Knights with Battle Clerics.
Italiano Bambino

Italiano Bambino is the main antagonist in the '3 French Babies Pretending to be a Waiter' series. The only Italian character in the series, Italian Bambino has a love of cooking, especially traditional Italian meals such as spaghetti, ravioli and various pizza's. His place of birth is unknown and the whereabouts of his parents is a mystery, but he is very defensive of his mother.

It's suggested that Italiano Bambino has been kidnapped by Robocop but the nonchalant attitude of all the characters makes it seem as though this is not true. Italiano Bambino supposedly has great power and being kidnapped by Robocop seems improbable.
Council Of Nations VII

After the release of Leviathan, the abrupt end of the 6th Council, and general burnout from EU4, the 7th installation of Council of Nations would not begin for another 6 months.

While many previous players returned to the Council, it was deemed that the formula with the same players had begun to become repetitive. Some players were just better at the game than others, which always led to an imbalance of power early on, that would only become more apparent as time went on.

To solve this issue, as well as to reignite interest in the idea of doing a Council of Nations, this save would star many new players to the group, more than doubling the size of players, as well as regular playtime on weekends.

This save was played on patch 1.31.6.

## History

Entries with a dagger (†) indicate that the country played was either destroyed, or effectively abandoned by the final session.

Council of Nations IV

After the great success that was the third Council, a couple changes were made to our playstyles and countries picked that made the game likely to last a longer period of time. After the original Westphalia, Portugal and Kurland players left the game following crippling conflicts, lack of expansion routes, and general stagnation of the game, the players of this Council decided to spread themselves out more geographically. Additionally, a development limit for choosing nations was established at 150, including vassal development. An exception was made for Ashikaga after considering its low influence over its vassals.

A few other changes were made in this council. Proposing a Resolution required the "Sponsorship" of another member state to be brought to vote. Additionally, the "Judiciary Committee of the Council of Nations" was founded, seeking a further diplomatic approach to inter-member state disputes, opting for a randomly selected independent third party, rather than the majority vote of all council states. Additionally, non-entry/removal votes to the Council were required to be abstained upon unless the member state voting could see the capital of the member state calling the vote. However, for a country to be added or removed from the Council, at least one member state was required to have vision of the capital of the nominee.

This save is titled "Social Distancing" because the save took place during the peak of COVID, and the players' chosen nations were so distant from each other.

## History

Entries marked with a dagger (†) indicate that the country played was either destroyed, or effectively abandoned by the final session.

Haldana Saga - The Bounty at Fort Muggclaw - Part 3

The thoughts of suffering swirled in her mind as she was tempted to help the people around her but she controlled herself not to interfere but she tapped on her pistol under her robe. She so wanted to shoot up the slave sellers and the pirate scum around her. She wanted to burn down all of Fort Muggclaw. Her thoughts of conflict were broken up by Mic speaking to her through her Comm and Scanning Headset (CSH).

"Captain, I've finished scanning the area, there's a bar and hotel on the right side of the next block, it's called "Nop's Place" it should have a sign that designates it so you won't be able to miss it."

Christian Haldana sighed, thinking again of the suffering around her but responded to Mic.

"Thank you Mic, let's go then. I need a break before we continue our hunt."

As she started walking towards "Nop's Place" Mic responded.

"It's my pleasure captain. You definitely need some rest, my scanners show that you're no nowhere near peak physical performance. You didn't get much rest on the way here. You should have rested on the flight here."

"What, are you a doctor now? I don't need you to be giving me advice Mic, besides you know I can't get to sleep on that Muggfraking ship, the ship they gave me is a piece of crap, you would think after all the successes I've had that they'd give me something a just a little Muggfraking better."

"Captain, they can't give you a state of the art starship, you know that, if they did you would be detected by every pirate from here to Muggbuktu, using an old blockade runner is much better to stay under the galactic radar, especially of the Dominion, the ship they gave you gives you the appearance of a common smuggler or mercenary, we don't want your cover to be blown."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm just saying Mic, it's Muggfraking annoying but whatever, I wouldn't expect you to understand, you're just a bunch of silly code and circuits. You don't have a Muggfrakin body."

"Captain, you hurt my feelings, we've known each other for a long time, I would think you'd be more polite by now."

Captain Haldana was getting a little annoyed by Mic and didn't want to continue talking, she didn't say anything else to her AI until they made it to Nop's Place.

CoN 4: First Treaty of London

## Background

Japan and Malaya are on the brink of war. The Dutch Espionage Crisis has worn at their relations and made them paranoid, while the Netherlands sits and watches, as regional powers prepare to fight for supremacy. The last loose end to be tied up was neutrality of the other Asian state, the Mughals.

## Text of the Treaty

1st Treaty of London

APR 14, 1611

-With conflict inevitable in the East Asian region, the two superpowers with unquestionable influence in the region have convened to negotiate further escalation.

-Seeing as Japan and Malaya are heading towards conflict, Netherlands and Mughals agree not to encourage the fighting.

-Neither the Mughals, nor the Netherlands, may antagonize or declare war on either Japan or Malaya for the duration of this treaty.

-Neither the Mughals, nor the Netherlands, may involve themselves in territorial exchanges with Japan and Malaya for the duration of this treaty.

-Netherlands and Mughals agree to not involve themselves in the war financially.

-Aside from the following clause, both the Netherlands and Mughals agree to not involve themselves in the war on either side.

-Netherlands and Mughals can encourage peace, and may involve themselves should they deem peace necessary.

-As both Japan and Malaya have accepted, Mughals and Netherlands will be present at the peace negotiations for this conflict.

-This treaty is to be in effect until the peace treaty between Japan and Malaya is signed, or until both parties consent in the repealment of the treaty.

*Signed*

Paul van Oranje, Grand Pensionary of the Republic of the Netherlands

Alamgir Timurid, Padishah of the Empire of the Mughals

## Aftermath

This treaty prevented the Netherlands or Mughals to interfere on behalf of any single power in the region, besides reasons of peacekeeping. Fortunately for the East-Asian states, they were able to find a peaceful end to the conflict, when they realized they had been manipulated by the Dutch into fighting each other. Japan would expand into California, and this treaty would be abolished on October 30th, 1620.
Council of Nations V

Following the two-month gap after the fourth Council stopped short, this save saw a much more hands-off Council with very little legislation, and very few attempts to enforce or empower the Council itself.

This save was ultimately played like a regular save, as if without a Council. It was dominated more throughout the game by the Orthodox Bloc and the Coalition of Free States. As such, its title is representative of the comparative strength of Orthodox players rather than any specific event or country.

This save is titled "Russian Supremacy" because of the sheer power of the Russian state. The country could stand up against any external threat without breaking a sweat, and was constantly exerting its influence over the rest of the Council.

The war ended with a twisted defeat for Prussia as long time ally Kurland, collapsed in and signed peace with The Palatinate.

As a result of growing tension, and Westphalia being caught between two great powers, *The War of Malding* had commenced. Backing Westphalia was Kurland who simped for alex.
