Bitter Stew

**Bitter Stew** is a 'favourite' meal among the non-vampires of Cainaan. A bitter tasting meal (hence the name), the ingredients are lacklustre because Cainaan is a land that is always covered with thick clouds. Therefore the ingredients are of plants and other items that managed to survive the transition period of Tara Tranda to Cainaan. Despite its bitter taste the stew is a good source of nourishment. The meal has slowly become more widespread across Cainaan through a small series of pamphlets, that seek to make life in the harsh land easier.

The main ingredients are mostly plants require less sunlight when growing. These are root vegetables such as beets or carrots and leafy vegetables such as chard or spinach. To toughen up the stew meats are added, with a preference for beef or venison. However, bat meat has become more commonly available as swarms of bat have started to populated the region. Still bats are mostly avoided as a ingredient and only added in desperation as bat meat can causes several diseases to anyone who consumes it. Aside from these ingredients someone making bitter stew only needs to find water, a big pot, and a nice simmering fire.

Preparation is quite easy and requires not a lot of time, the stewing is however the slow part. Start by making a fire to a nice low simmering temperature. Make sure to maintain the fire so it keeps burning for a long period of time. Next up cut together your favourite vegetables depending on what is available. A nice stew is a hearty stew, filled with many different ingredients. Place a pot over the fire and fill it with water, once the water starts to boil add the vegetables to the pot and stir it around for a bit. Next up if there is any meat available at that to the mixture. Again stirring for a bit. Afterwards let is simmer for a bit and within a short while the stew should be ready for serving.
Senior Thrall

The **Senior Thrall** is a honourary title bestowed upon the most loyal of thralls in Cainaan, the land of vampires. This title commands respect mostly from other thralls.

Many people across the known world might not know that thrall society within Cainaan can be as ruthless, competitive and filled with intrigue as the vampires that stand above them. Thralls of the same vampire compete among each other to be seen as the most worthy thrall. The vampire lords gladly allow this competition and even actively promote it as it keeps the thralls busy fighting with each other, lest they get any ideas on what to do about their vampire lords. Aside from fighting among each other for the favour of their liege, the thralls will also compete with thralls of other lords. Simply because they tend to get involved in the petty squabbling that happens between vampire lords.

The thrall that has proven themself the most useful, or has managed to be rid any other thralls is granted the honourary title of Senior Thrall. For most this title has no meaning, even the vampire lords themselves seem not to care that much about the title. By them the title is mostly seen as a way to keep the thralls away from demanding more vitae. Nonetheless the title comes with some minor privileges and functions, for example: the Senior Thralls are those that fill the skull cups with the freshest of blood, so that their lord can enjoy it. In return for their excellent service they are granted slightly better accommodation. And can of course enjoy the minor prestige that their title adds, commanding a form of respect over lesser thralls. But instead of respect are more likely to form rivalries with any other thralls wishing to be granted the title.
Obelisk of Alwealdas

Deep in the heart of the Alweald Swamplands, piercing the heavens from atop its hill and breaking the surrounding mangrove forest, stands the **Obelisk of Alwealdas**. It's base is covered in creeping mangrove vines, thirstily drinking from the endless streams of water seeping from the obelisk's rune-covered onyx surface. No one has yet managed to translate what the runes covering the obelisk say, for they are written in a long lost tongue of a civilisation which seems to not have left behind many other artefacts.

## Description

The Obelisk of Alwealdas is 21 metre tall, four-sided narrow spear-like monument. It's surface is made from a glossy black material and each side is covered in carved runes filled up with white stone.

## History

The Obelisk of Alwealdas was discovered in the year 1578 by a team of explorers and adventurers from Madamsrest, searching for the source of the Madame river. During their parlous journey they lost four fifth of their original party, but in the end the explorers, under guidance of Doctor Jonaszoon, rediscovered the obelisk and found it as the river's source.

## Possible Purpose

While the obelisk's true purpose remains a mystery the natural philosopher's from Madamsrest‎ have put forward a couple of theories. Some believe the obelisk was placed here by an ancient civilisation to preserve the ecosystem they lived in, who's original source of nutrition was somehow lost. They further propose that the obelisk was originally placed at a mountaintop, but that the constant stream of water degraded it into the small hill it is today. Others believe a more fringe theory that the obelisk was placed here to flood the world in an endless diluvian torrent of water. But a combination of faulty magics and a species of plant living nearby that was able to absorb most of the water put a stop to this.
Foolsil

**Foolsils** are a type of construct created from the shells of ancient marine creatures that have turned into pyrite. Some foolsils are created by wizards to protects important underground faults, while others are animated through exposure of the magics of Heaven of Earth seeping out of a rare tear in reality.

When not moving a foolsil is nearly indistinguishable from a normal gemstone cluster except from a spot of yellow and grey powder. This inorganic mould poisons the surrounding air, burning the lungs of any would be intruder and choking them in their own mucus. Foolsils can also collect moisture from around them and use this to shoot of a blob of acid at their targets.

## Foolsil Crawler

Foolsils come in two forms: Crawlers and Clusters. Crawler's are small beetle-like critters that, as the scuttle across the floor, do not seem to form any real threat. Its only once their victim realises that the Foolsils are slowly poisoning the air that their true threat is revealed. But by then it is usually already too late, for the Crawler's have already hidden themselves into hard to reach nooks and crannies all around the cave. Using their small size they hide just far enough that their foes have to look into the hole to see where they exactly are, and as they do so the crawler shoots a blob of acid into their eyes.

## Foolsil Cluster

When a more hands-on approach is needed a Foolsil Cluster is created. These hulking piles of pyrite contain hundreds of the smaller crawlers and rocks. Using the crawler's that make up its body, the cluster is able to shoot of multiple blobs of acid into multiple direction.
Mountainpiercer

***Mountainpiercer*** is a long lost lance used by the legendary knight Sir Daniel.

## Description

*Mountainpiercer* a ivory white lance with a crystal tip. It is capable of collecting mana from its surrounding when hold backward and can unleash this mana in a ball of pure energy with a single forward trust. The ball of energy then flies in the general direction of the lance-tip and blows up whatever it comes into contact with. The energy unleashed by this explosion is powerful enough to dig giant holes into the sides of mountains.

## History

Daniel de Graaf was a simple miner from Ferona when he one day dug into a hollow chamber deep under ground. There in the centre of the closed-off chamber he surprisingly enough found a human skeleton and a ivory white lance. Not thinking much about it Daniel picked up the lance and decided to swing a bit with it before handing it to his foreman. All seemed normal enough until he trusted the blade forward and a giant ball of pure mana was unleashed that blew a hole into the wall before him. Daniel was stunned at first, but after trying it a few more times he realises what he had and rushed out of the mines to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a adventurer. Without saying a word he left his wive and three daughters behind and went to the nearby village to destroy unusually large rats and the basements that contained them.

His adventuring eventually drew the attention of prince Stahlaz who made him a knight of the realm. In his prince's service he fought off invaders and blew up their encampments in the cliff side of the Cooking Canyon with *Mountainpiercer*. The now Sir Daniel eventually grew wary of this live however, and he requested the honour of adventuring on his own as a representative of Ferona, which prince Stahlaz reluctantly gave to his noble knight. Once again live was great for Sir Daniel and after travelling through the Oroborian Empire for a while he decided to make his path east, to Cainaan to purge it of its midnight aristocracy. But Sir Daniel had grown impatient and he decided to dig his way through the Zapno Mountains to reach Cainaan. As he was digging he eventually hit a magma chamber, and the boiling rock spewing out swallowed both him and his weapon whole. Now Sir Daniel is long gone now, yet there are some believe that somewhere underground *Mountainpiercer* still stands proud, ready for whoever finds her next.
Mellandic Air Force (MAF)

## Insignias

Roundel of the Mellandic air force

The Mellandic Air Force (MAF) is the aerial warfare force of Melland. It is referred to as the acronym the MAF but is locally known as "The Birds". It was founded in 1993 out of the remaining aerial forces of the anarchist militia which began the 7-day seige and made Melland independent, and has since then been expanded upon by the Mellandic & Prialanish military forces. It operates mostly Jeontugi & Sladkov fighter jets, the overwhelming majority of the MAF fleet being the Sladkov S/U-30Mk2

### Operation

The Mellandic air force operates on a weekly basis, regularly patrolling Mellandic airspace and ensuring defense against Primean bombers and other foreign military aircraft. It's role in defending Melland & Prialand is considered vital and so the majority of Mellandic military resources and funding is spent on the MAF. The MAF has participated in many joint-training missions with other nations in the EAN, as well as having participated in many wars, aiding other countries aerially. Most noteably, the MAF had a large role in the Sarachian Civil war, fighting with the Sarachian government against Molgarn & Szeckarian forces before withdrawing in early 2003 due to a commune-wide vote favouring withdrawal.

Braun

Braun replicated in Universe sandbox 2

Braun is a small earth-like planet dubbed “The Orange Planet'' due to its reddish appearance caused by Iron Oxide prevalent on its surface. It sits in the middle of the gap of the habitable zone and the cold zone of Hadrya, making it very similar to Asmarsgia in several ways. Braun has a thin atmosphere and large bodies of very cold liquid water on the surface, as well as two small polar ice caps with hydrogen ice. It has two small moons, and it’s gravity is very similar to that of Asmarsgia. Much science fiction media have been made about this planet, due to it’s striking resemblance to the earth and the possibility that it may once have had life on it.

### Moons

Braun has two moons, Sofia and Amogus. Sofia is the first and closest moon to Braun, it is very small and has relatively low gravity due to its low mass. It is bumpy and has several large asteroid craters on the surface, and is covered in radiation due to its lack of an atmosphere. Amogus is Braun’s second moon, having been believed to be a smaller planet by astronomers for years, this suspicious little red moon has been an impostor. It has no atmosphere, but quite high gravity for a body that orbits Braun at such high speeds.
Mellandic Coalition

Flag of the Mellandic Coalition

The Mellandic Coalition is the union between mainland Melland, Prialand, and Mellandic-Eksondo. It was founded in 2007 following the Skímnir pact where Eksondo became an offshore region of Mainland Melland. Jelanistan is also a close ally of the coalition and is considered an unofficial member, earning it a small star next to the star representing Eksondo on the flag of the Mellandic coalition. The coalition also acts as a united military force, though it mostly consists of the MAF, Mellandic military, and few militias in Eksondo.
Beresteyn Fair

Beresteyn Fair is a yearly art event held during the first week of summer in Madamsrest. During this event wealthy Madamresters prove their patronage by funding experienced painters to take in a child between the age of 12-18, for a week to hone their skills with the brush. At the end of the week everyone gathers once more to display the paintings painted by the children, in addition the paintings are actioned off. The tradition was first started in 1635 by Henriette van Beresteyn (?-1643), who used her fortune to organise the first renditions of the event. Since her passing the Beresteyn Fair has grown to become a popular summer tradition in Madamsrest.

## Event

The first Sunday of the summer marks the start for Beresteyn Fair. On this day Madamresters will gather in the main square of the city to witness the opening event, during which the talented painters and the children will be introduced to the spectators. The children are assigned to a painter and the painting theme of the year will be revealed. The day ends with a banquet and the next day the first brushed will touch the canvas. On the following Sunday everyone will reconvene for the closing ceremony. One by one the paintings will be revealed, which is followed by an auction. While the paintings might not be of such qualities, as if they were made by a master painter, they're nonetheless very popular to own. Who wouldn't want a painting by a protege of a master painter? Besides, that protege might turn out to become a master painter themselves one day.

## History

> *''The event would not have been possible with the more than generous donations from Henriette van Beresteyn.''* - Madamsrester historian.
>
>

The first rendition of the Beresteyn Fair started in 1635 with a large donation by Henriette van Beresteyn. Beresteyn herself was left without any relatives, yet wanted to leave a legacy on the city of Madamsrest. Therefore she decided to donated most of her wealth to setup what would become the Beresteyn Fair. With the money she funded the first banquets and provided stipend to the painters. As the fair grew in popularity Beresteyn made sure to slightly alter the event customs, requiring any patron that wants to join the auction to donate a small sum of money. In addition, she managed to petition the city of Madamsrest to likewise donate money to the fair.
Prinmark

Prinmark's now-infamous flag

Prinmark was a small Primean region in the East Primean sea consisting of two islands, which are now Melland and Prialand. It was a municipality within the Primark Imperium and the Primean federation before it was overthrown in the 7-day seige. It was briefly a commune within the Republic of Prime until it was overthrown by Omar Richmond. It's flag is several centuries old, being used throughout the lifetimes of many empires as the symbol of the local region. Today, the flag is not officially used by any government, area, or territory, as it has been replaced with the flag of Prialand. It is still used by right-wing Primean nationalists, it's use symbolizing that the person displaying it does not believe Melland to be a legitimate state. This has made it a popular bumper sticker design among Primean patriotic imagery and Prinnazi propaganda.

### History

The Prinmark region has for the major part of world history been uninhabited, until Muklan immigrants migrated to the region and began naming areas and building small houses and villages in the early 5th century. The descendants of this populace are today considered the natives of Melland, having their own language called Native Prinish, a Muklan dialect.

### Operation

The Sleipnir has fought in various wars, however due to it's difficult to track nature it cannot always be confirmed whether or not it was actually there. Reportedly, it was used in the Ulanian war, patrolling the Ulanic coast and gathering intel for the Warren military information network.
Ganbania

## Republic of Ganbania

Ganbania's flag

Ganbania is a small sovereign island nation off the coast of Forseti. It was one of the earliest permanently settled regions, being previously uninhabited until Neolithic-era settlers came by boat and created primitive homes and small villages out of the island's various natural resources. Many of these structures are still standing, making Ganbania a popular tourist attraction and an important location for historians to perform research. The island's native population takes it's ancient religions and cultures very seriously, with several rival local religious groups often getting into conflicts over interpretations of ancient texts and scrolls on the island.

## Languages

This is a sort of out-of-character post. You'll see throughout the guide that several languages are mentioned, with out elaborating on what the hell they're like. This page is a quickly thrown together list of the various languages of Asmarsgia, and their real life counterparts and/or inspirations.

The Víkströnd commune is a northeastern regional commune of Melland, having only 4 small towns built by the Mellandic military as a safe haven for Sarachian refugees during the Sarach civil war. Víkströnd is largely uninhabited, being mostly used by the Mellandic air force for training flights and military exercises due to it's two secret military air stations and an ex-Primean missile launch site being refurbished by the MAF.
Runesund

Runesund is the third largest commune of Melland in terms of landmass, and is the second largest commune in terms of population. It sits on the most northern part of Melland on the tip of the Northern gulf. It has the largest public industry of any commune, it's communal fishing industry providing the main source of food for the entire island. Runesund is considered vital to Melland's self-sufficiency, and is therefore often a target of PAF bombing raids. To protect against these raids, a large coastal military air station was built in Runesund in 1997 called MAF Sebastian.
Halvaka

Halvakka in Universe sandbox 2

Heim in Universe Sandbox 2

Halvaka is the largest planet in the solar system, it is a gas giant in the uninhabitable cold zone of Hadrya, which seems to have been formed by two gas giants colliding only a couple million years ago. The debris is still present in massive clusters around the solar system, some of it having struck other planets such as Lynaya and Valut. The planet is rapidly spinning along its Y axis due to the collision, giving it a wildly inconsistent orbit around Hadrya. Sometimes it comes close to the habitable zone, sometimes it comes closer to the edge of the cold zone. It’s moon, Heim, has a “dangerous” elliptical orbit around Halvaka, making it prone to a planetary collision within the next 500-thousand years.

### Moons

Halvaka's only moon is called Heim, it is a planet-size moon with a rocky surface and a thick atmosphere which covers the planet. The surface pressure is an immense 70 bar, crushing most objects on its surface near instantly. It’s surface is a light red, with cyan clouds complimenting it’s mint blue appearance.

It is a federation of communes united under a small nation state. It is a large open nation covered in mountains, hills, and with a large asteroid crater at the north. It also has various marshes and swamps in the Gustav archipelago. It is surrounded by various small islands scattered along the coast, the largest being Albin island and the Chipper islands.
History

## Asmarsgia (Introduction)

Asmarsgia (Planet) also called Earth.

2004-2011 map of Asmarsgia made by Minkshaming.

Asmarsgia is a worldbuilding project created by Alien408 and Minkshaming (Corduroycutchinos) with heavy geopolitical and historical themes. The project explores the history of an alternate earth called Asmarsgia, which is about 70% bigger than our earth and has 2 moons. It is mainly inhabited by ugly hostile creatures known as “Humans”, the dominant species on Asmarsgia. The world itself is used as a geopolitical sandbox for experimenting with ideologies and “what-if” scenarios. However, the true purpose of the world of Asmarsgia is to act as a foundation for storytelling. While it’s fun to watch wars begin and end and empires rise and fall, the true focus of Asmarsgia is people. The worldbuilding of Asmarsgia is merely a backdrop for the stories about the people living in it. While the project includes several planets and star systems, the focal point is almost always on earth, or, well, this alternate version of it. There's actually quite a few differences between our earth and Asmarsgia's earth, you can read about them here.

Oh, and Asmarsgia has various confusing languages. A more out-of character explanation for them can be found here!

### History (Meta)

Project Asmarsgia (Formerly called prime or the world of prime) is a revamped version of the old lore of a fictional nation called Prime and it's surrounding nations. It started as a creative project by Matthew or Alien408, before evolving into a planet-wide worldbuilding project with many collaborators.

Nakoslavia is a slavic social-democratic monarchy on the coast of the Polar Ocean. It is bordered to the north of The Ulanian Republic (formerly Greater Ulania) and is one of the largest countries on the western continent. It is the largest country in the Coastic Union by population and landmass.
Kernmoat

In the centre of the Shattered Strait sits the portcity of **Kernmoat**, a popular cultural destination for baron and buccaneer in equal measure. Located on *Gilbert Island*, Kernmoat is home to a large art industry creating theatre productions recreated as far as Madamsrest‎.

## Defence

Most of Giblert Island is inaccessible from the sea thanks to the steep cliffs that surround the island, known as the **Sylvan cliffs**. The only accessible area trough which an army could realistically enter the island is through Kernmoat's own port.

Facing the sea stands a large fortress, containing seventeen 12-pound cannons which are supposed to protect the island from invaders from the sea. In practice however the fortress is little more than a decoration, and the general tasked with running the fortress spends most of his time in the local library. Separating the city from the rest of the island is the wide moat from which the city got its name. The moat is filled with filth, dumped there by the locals, and is only flushed during high tide.

## Culture

Kernmoat is renown for its many theatres, none of which are as grandiose as the Theatre Pinafore. The Theatre Pinafore is roofed with the hull of the old *Pinafore* galleon, once the terror of the Shattered Strait. The theatre is build near the edge of the sea and can be filled up with seawater during high tide by opening the flood gates. Playwrights have used the water to recreate scenes taking place out at sea such as those in *The lives and times of Joseph Barnafader* and to create miniature naval battles.

Kernmoat is also home to the Library of Natural History, a library dedicated to the study of the natural world and to the worship of the heavens of Earth, Metal, and Wood. The library has four separate wings, laid out as a cross from a central circular courtyard: one for bestiaries, one for botanicals, one for compendiums on minerals, and one for everything else.

## Legends

Local legends on Gilbert Island tell that one day a pirate king will arise from amongst the rabble of sailing beggars that cross the waves, and he shall make Kernmoat the central jewel of his kingdom. The Kernmoaters eagerly await the day that they finally gain the recognition they believe they deserve, and more than once some poor sailor has been dragged out of a pub by eager locals to be crowned the pirate king.
Primean Revolution

The Primean Revolution was a large scale revolutionary uprising and civil war within the Primean Federation in 2011 which lead to the collapse of the Primean Federation and the formation of the new republics and the Völuspá Bloc. Spearheaded by the Mellandic Coalition and the UIKF with a naval & aerial invasion, the conflict consisted of several leftist and right-wing extremist militias as well as the disorganized infighting forces of the Primean Federation fighting a massive civil war which lead to the complete collapse of the Primean Federation and the liberation of the People's Republic of Hjartaland, the Worker's Republic of Granaria, and the formation of the Union of Ecanesia.

### Full-scale war

Our comrades up north in Melland and the Kankenic isles have officially confirmed their total support for our cause, and have begun a full-scale aerial & naval invasion against the collapsing Primean military. The Mellandic Air Force have begun airdropping weapons and supplies into liberated territories across the Western coast of Prime.”*

> *“The tide of the revolution is turning rapidly, the flags of freedom fly proudly from factories, farms, and cities throughout Hjartaland. Finally freed from the unforgiving tyrannical rule of the oppressive Primean Federal Government, the people of Granaria and Hjartaland are partying in the streets, not letting the on-going bombings on civilian territories by the PAF break their spirit.”*

> *“The kingdom declared martial law earlier today, blocking the free press and disabling civilian communication services within the borders of their nation to prevent uprisings inspired by our movement. It is clear that they are aware that fighting on the side of Prime is a losing battle, and are instead focusing their resources on preventing a revolution of their own. Please do not forget that liberating the Kingdom of Gabriel is NOT our target, and their withdrawal from the war means we are at peace with the kingdom.”*
>

> *“Our best wishes go out to our brave revolutionaries fighting for liberty on all fronts, your perseverance and courage will not go unnoticed. Every day Primean forces come closer to capitulation because of you, and I speak on behalf of all of us when I say; Thank you.”*

Ekora

Ekora in Universe sandbox 2

Lynaya, Ekora's moon in Universe sandbox 2

Ekora is the closest planet to Hadrya. (Excluding Icaro) Due to its close distance to the sun, it’s an extremely hot planet. It has a solid surface made up of salt flats with big craters forming hills and mountains, the red spots being a result of a natural copper-like ore. It has no atmosphere, however it has a strong magnetic field due to underground geological activity. It is possible, though unlikely, that it once was in the habitable zone of Hadrya, and possibly even had an atmosphere.

### Moons

Lynaya is Ekora’s only moon. A former Ice planet that orbited the “cold zone” of Hadrya. It used to be covered in a thick ice sheet with a massive sea of liquid water underneath, which scientists theorize to have possibly contained alien life in the form of fish-like creatures. Around a few million years ago, it traveled out of the cold zone into the habitable zone where it’s ice melted, reducing its mass significantly and evaporating it’s atmosphere.. This made it orbit faster, until eventually it was pulled into the hot (uninhabitable) zone where it’s liquid water evaporated, reducing Lynaya’s size by nearly half. Eventually, it was picked up by Ekora’s sphere of influence and began to orbit the planet. It’s surface now consists of silicate with a thick iron core. It is too small to be a binary planet, but too large to be a dwarf planet. It has just been designated as a moon.
Molgarn

Molgarn's flag

Molgarn on the 2004-2011 map.

Molgarn is an eastern conservative democracy ruled by a political party with a president elected every 4 years. It is believed that Molgarn is a Valskyan puppet state for the Valskyan government, due to it's influence on Molgarn's independence in the Sarach Civil War as well as Valskyan politicians having a large influence on media and politics within the nation.

### History

Molgarn was founded and became independent in 2002 during the Sarachian civil war. It used to be a province within Sarach, before becoming an independent state after the civil war. Molgarn gained independence with support from the MIF, a right-wing insurgency funded & aided by the Valskyan military.

Transilie is a small Anarchist island nation in the Kankenic Island cluster, it was one of the first islands to join the UIK, becoming the third nation to ever do so. The country is home to many mountain ranges, hills, and plains. The main export is agriculture, with the majority of the working population working as farmers or fishermen. The majority of the Teswoods and North Transilian region is dedicated to crops & farms, the largest farming towns being Tesmig, Sheyru, and Treou. Unlike Eksondo, it's neighbouring nation, it is not a pacifist country, having a commune-run military called the Transilian defense force, which contributes to the UIKF, as well as a small air force with an airbase stationed in the region of Autis.

Toby is Arakka’s only moon, and is roughly the size of Icaro in its current state. It is the coldest body in the system, with an ice sheet covered, rocky surface. It is 99% silicate, the remaining 1% of its mass being the frozen hydrogen on its surface.
Nosferite

Twisted by dark influences that seep from the very soil of Cainaan, the **Nosferites** stalk the night seeking stragglers who have walked too far away from the roads. With their elongated arms they grasp their victims, digging deep into their flesh with their sharp nails. Once the victim is secured, they hold their prey over their open wide maws and start to squeeze until all the blood has poured out.

## Description

The nosferites are a breed of degenerate undead creatures, barely resembling their once living selves. Their hairless bodies are pale grey. Each of their veiny arms are the size of an adult man, with sharp long talon-like nails at the end of each finger. Their legs and lower torsos have almost atrophied away, dangling behind them as they pull themselves forward over the ground. They have deep sunken red eyes with black rings around them, and two sharp fang-like front teeth.

Their abominable form is despised by the very light itself, and their mere presence causes torches and candles to flicker out, as if to flee from the creature. The nosferites for their part try to avoid standing in large artificial lights, and back away from it when they can. When they are forced to stand in it, and no longer have anywhere to flee to the nosferites enter a killing frenzy, which only stops when the sun takes them out at dawn.

## Behaviour

The nosferites are found in the dark forests of Cainaan, forced to live far away from civilisation by the still-sane vampires protecting their flocks. They form packs of four to six nosferites, and stalk together searching for prey during the night. During the day they seek shelter from the sun in various caves and tunnels, lest they burn away to ash.

## Creation

The nosferites were once fledglings, turned into vampires without participating in the Feast of the Scarlet Wine and somehow still allowed to continue their existence in banishment. This is usually done by either forcing vampirism upon themselves or by a sire who does not care for the rules of the vampire community. The recently turned vampire does not gain any of the privileges allotted to official vampires such as access to a stable supply of blood, and instead has the live off vermin and barely conscious peasants that they catch from their hiding places. This impure blood slowly turns them insane, and as their condition worsens they turn into a nosferite.

Eastern Allied Nations (EAN)

EAN Flag.

### Size

2,457 ICBMs, 14 aircraft carriers, the combined capacity of all the militaries within the EAN.

## Insignias

EAN's air force roundel

The Eastern Allied Nations is a union of nations on the eastern continent, it was formed in 1983 as a way to combine the military & emergency forces of the Eastern continent in case of one of the nations within the union needing aid and/or disaster relief in case of a natural catastrophe or an invasion by a foreign power. The EAN consists of Croania, Sarach, Molgarn, Szeckaria, Akria, Eugora, South Lotroris, Hjartaland, Melland, and Prialand.

### Operation

The EAN's most noteworthy work was in it's joint venture with the Primean Federation to invade Greater Ulania during Operation Immediate Liberation. While all militaries of the EAN did not invade (Example; the MAF did not aid in warfare at all due to "on-going tensions with the Primean federation") the overwhelming majority of nations within the EAN did.
Icaro

Icaro in Universe Sandbox 2

Icaro is the closest object to Hadrya. It is a dwarf planet within the “danger” zone of the sun, and it is quite literally being burned to a crisp. The surface temperatures are as high as 500 degrees celsius on the dark side of Icaro, and large volumes of rocks and other surface materials are burnt off at a constant rate and are pushed off violently. This cloud of debris constantly being pushed off and around Icaro was initially mistaken for an atmosphere, but it is now clear that it has never had and never will have an atmosphere. Icaro is theorized to have been around 170 times larger than its current size, however this was a considerably long time ago. The dwarf planet has been dubbed “The lonely planet” as it is too hot and shrinking at such a rate where it will disintegrate before human technology advances to the point of safely traveling to it. It is thought that no human will ever step foot on Icaro.

United Islands of Kanken

Flag of the united islands of Kanken

Early 2000s map of the Kankenic Island cluster, which contains 3 of the 6 islands in the UIK.

### Inhabitants

Approx 6.7 million (Combined)

The United islands of Kanken, commonly known as UIK, is a union of anarchist states & collectives in the Northern Ulanian sea. It consists of 6 anarchist nations, the oldest being Antonland, Eksondo, Isla Het and Transilie. The more recent members which joined in the early 2000s are Jelanistan and Skonfrigg. The UIK became a union within another union in 2008, after the UIK established the Völuspá Bloc with the Mellandic Coalition.

### History

The UIK is relatively old compared to the nations surrounding it, while gaining 2 new states in the early 2000s and early 50s due to Operation Immediate Liberation and the collapse of the Ulan empire, the islands have existed for a couple centuries already. However it is worth noting that until the 19th century, the various states within the UIK were recognized as provinces instead of their own countries. This has largely changed due to civil wars within Eksondo and Antonland in the late 1870s, the so-called "Independence Era".

### Effects of the Independence Era

The independence era resulted in a variety of changes within the UIK, the states within Kanken went from being provinces & municipalities to nearly independent states, gaining total self-governing control & their own flags as well as national anthems.
Greater Ulania

Flag of Greater Ulania

Greater Ulania (Officially the Emirates of Greater Ulania) was the descendant of the Ulan empire. It existed from 191X until 2004 until it was disbanded during Operation Immediate Liberation.

### History

Greater Ulania was founded from the ashes of the Ulan empire which collapsed during the great war. Throughout the late 1910s and 20s, it expanded and grew in size tremendously after the discovery of enormous oil resources, which it promptly nationalised. Greater Ulania began annexing and subjugating it's poorer, collapsing neighbour states under the promise of unifying the region and providing economic stability through profit from oil resources.

In practice however, these satellite states did not see any improvement, their natural resources instead being used to turn Greater Ulania into an economic powerhouse, assimilating it's new territory through abolition of the national identity of it's new satellite states, known as Emirates. It played a major role throughout the cold war, making significant contributions to the nuclear arms race and performing the first manned landing on Braun in 1986 when Ulanian astronaut Arvio Dawoud touched down on the surface of Braun and planted the flag of the Emirates.
Bartos Manor

**Bartos Manor** functions as the permanent residency for the ambassador of Ralmulash to Berok since 1622. Constructed in 16th century Berokian style mixed with influences from Madamsrest. The stone manor is adorned with a wrought iron fence, atop the gate is a small brass statuette of a paintbrush. As the previous residents considered themselves patrons of the arts. The large building has ample space to provide different services to any citizens of Ralmulash in Berok. Aside from that its the first point of contact between the Princedom of Berok and the Sterling Council.

## History

A previous building of the same name of was located at the current side. The original manor was constructed in 1227 and was named after the family Bartos, an important family within the religious circle, who ordered the construction of the building. The Bartos family resided. Eventually the manor would be sold to a wealthy merchant from Madamsrest in 1408 as the Bartos family was had suffered a series of unfortunate events, therefore having the sell the building. The building would be partially damaged in a minor accident in 1545 as a series of blackpowder barrels, that were stored in the building, exploded. The old building would be demolished and rebuild by the descendents of the merchant. Even with the reconstruction the name of the Bartos Manor was engrained in people's mind. In 1620 the family would be driven out by the Berokian Church because they suspected the residents of being vampires. At the same time the building would be confiscated. Roughly during the same time it was decided that it was important for the nations of Berok and Ralmulash to establish permanent embassies in each other countries. It would be decided that the recently vacated Bartos Manor would function as an excellent place for this potential embassy. In 1622 after minor renovations the building would be opened in a grand ceremony which both the Prince of Berok, Cyril II the father of current the Prince Sylvia I, and a few members of Ralmulash governing body known as the Sterling Council.

## Sofia Kaspersdottir

Sofia Kaspersdottir is a fighter pilot and the founder of the anarchist militia which began the 7-day siege and brang independence to Melland and Prialand. She is also known as *Splitter* among fighter pilots due to her nickname and callsign in the MAF. She also served in the Primean Air Force with the callsign "Progeny" in the 1980s before being dishonourably discharged for refusing orders during a bombing raid. She expressed great dissatisfaction with the PAF during her service, and only served for 2 years before being kicked out and comitting sabotage, rigging the PAF's Jeontugi K-10 fleet's rocket pods to detonate at random times. This was Sofia's first act of domestic terrorism against Prime, and is known as the 1984 fleet destruction event. It was considered an accident caused by malfunctions in the production of the planes until Sofia confessed to the act in 1996. She currently serves in the 1st fighter wing of the MAF with her wingman Culver, who is also a personal friend of hers.

Sofia is also famous for being the only person in Melland to own their own fighter jet. While the island is home to many personal airstrips and airfields with all sorts of aviators maintaining their own aircraft, Sofia owns her own Sladkov S/U-27 supermanueverable fighter jet capable of carrying air-to-air armament. It is worth noting that she only uses it serve in the MAF, though. It is not used for "fun".
Republic of Prime

Flag of the Republic of Prime

*Note: This article is on the republic of Prime, NOT the Primark Imperium nor the Primean Federation.*

Prime is a nation founded in the year 3 A.F (After Frost) after ex-Gravland Imperial Navy Captain, James Leonardo Hawkins, declared the independence of the Republic of Prime from the Gravlandic Empire. Prime was once a colony among other colonies of the Gravlandic Empire created to collect resources and land of the newly discovered continent of Avorasi. The Ice Age came and as a result, the Gravlandic king at the time, Lawrence IX, cut off almost all supplies to the colony and only sent the absolute bare minimum as he ordered the complete evacuation and excavation of resources and materials from the colony of Prime, starving the colonists of supplies. James Leonardo Hawkins, who was once a captain of the Gravland Imperial Navy, founded the Shield of Prime militia: a group of citizens that would protect the colony's resources and supplies from being taken by the Gravlandic government and would seek to prevent the mistreatment of colonists by Gravlandic soldiers.
