## Jack Hand

A prince from an unnamed kingdom, Jack Hand, a name not explained, was a powerful nethermancer that killed his brothers' wives to attempt to bring them back to life. when his crime was discovered, both of his index fingers were removed to represent the murdered women, and he was locked away in the lowest cell block where he was fed once a day and tormented by rats and lice. This was to be his punishment until his eldest brother's hourglass ran dry which was supposedly supplied by the endless Mandal Desert.

In his dark cell, Jack Hand continued to hone his magic.

After three years, thanks to a rancid smell, the cell door was opened and a swarm of 72 skeletal rats emerged killing everyone so Jack Hand could take the keep's throne.

Under his rule, the kingdom expands massively.

Several years later, Jack Hand catches wind of a possible rebellion forming and sends his skeleton rat army to assassinate all he believed part of it.

He was said to have lived 180 years, fathered 12 sons, and just before his death, he was taken to the right wrist of Arawn's constellation.

The story of Jack Hand is where Dante gets the inspiration to save Blays in Whetten during The White Tree.

## Stathus the Wise

He fought 6 armed men alone by creating a dark sphere around all of them. He was able to kill 5 of the 6 before he had to drop the sphere. Though it is not stated, the dark sphere was created with nether.

This is the same technique Dante uses sub-consciously when he and Blays are attacked in Bressel and his first time using nether.

## Kennen

A student of Stathus the Wise, everyone thought he was a shoe in to replace his teacher. Yet when the time came, fellow student Vanya took his place. Enraged by this, Kennen delved deeper and deeper into the nether. He was eventually able to create a shadowy shaped man that could tell your enemies' secrits at an unnamed price, it is assumed to be hefty. Vanya was able to banish the creature with a massive amount of light, most likely ether.

It is unclear if the story is about an Andrac or simply something similar.

History of Sturien

The **history of Sturien** covers the modern Sturian Empire as well as the Sturian-speaking states which preceded it.

## History

The Empire evolved from an alliance of Sturian-speaking states which existed for several centuries. The most significant figure in the formation of the Empire was Bartholomeus von Prachten, who pushed hard for the wide-ranging reforms which transformed the confederation into a unified empire. The aggressive nature of the centralisation of power triggered the Crisis of the Confederation, a devastating three year internal conflict. Feelings of pan-Sturian nationalism increased towards the end of the war as people became disillusioned with the devastation.

The conflict eventually reached a conclusion with Friedrich von Prachten utilising this newfound nationalist sentiment to establish a centralised Sturian monarchy under the Treaty of Perchtenfeld, signed by all of the former confederate states. Since then, Sturien has expanded and established an intercontinental empire including Starland, Sørhjem and Kjellberg.

The earliest form of social organisation within the Mumbasi society was known as the house (*guri).* The structure of these houses were limited to geographic position mainly due to the fact that early Mumbasi society maintained the ideal of inward development, meaning it maintained a stringent belief that mixing, might it be socially and culturally with other people around the region and border territories would encourage instability from within.

By around the late 15th to early 16th centuries, the Houses coalesced into kingdoms. Of the original 13 houses, 8 expanded to form kingdoms within what is known as modern Alexandria. The Kingdom of Mafinbiti, became the most dominant of the kingdoms, having conquered the smaller states and kingdoms. Under the rule of King Nuuradiin initiated administrative reform which mirror feudal societal structure based on livestock. Meaning the patron with the most amount of cattle, oxen or any valuable beast of burden was considered of a high status.

Upon the beginning of the colonial era, explorer Alexander Dods discovered the country calling it Alexandria and by 1790, the country had been a colony of Hetheland whereby the Hethish Colonial Administration began a period of more direct colonial rule, making major alteration's to the nation's social structure. The Hethish administration simplified and centralised the power structure,virtually dismantling King Nuuradiin's social system and introduced large-scale projects in education, health, public works, and agricultural supervision, including new crops and improved agricultural techniques to try to reduce the incidence of famine.

Amidst the agricultural revolution, Alexandria became a major hub for Hethish crop trade, mainly due to its fertile soil. From sugarcane to tobacco, Alexandria had maintained an economy of agriculture.

## Administrative Divisions

Alexandria is divided into 14 regions with these regions divided into 100 smaller subdivisions known as parishes. Among the nation's mainland parishes, several islands litter the [INSERT LAKE NAME] to its immediate western coastal borders. For ease of administration, Alexandria's divisions are mainly governed by regional councils which are elected officially appointed by the Governor-General of Alexandria on the advise of the Chief Minister of Alexandria. Whilst these regions have no autonomous organisational powers, through the regional councils, administration of the regions and their respective parishes are executed along the lines of law and regulations as established by the Parliament.

Haneulsan National Park

Location

**Haneulsan National Park** (Jin: 하늘산국립공원; *Haneulsan Gungnip Gongwon*) is a is located in the province of Pyeonghwa, Jinguk. The park was the first national park signed into effect by King Daechang in the New Century Edict on 1 January 1900, and thus the first national park created in the world.

Ji Chang-min

**Ji Chang-min** (Jin: 이창민) was a Jin aristocrat, scholar, writer and explorer who widely travelled the early romantic world, leaving behind a multitude of literature detailing his journeys. There is a substantial field of academic research based on Ji's writings.

Within Jinguk, Ji is hailed as a national hero; abroad, he remains a slightly controversial figure.

## Early life

Ji may have been born slightly earlier or later than 1802. .His family belonged to the Sangsong Ji clan, a famous noble family of the Hwaryeong Dynasty. Ji's father, Ji Won-sik was the former-tutor of KING SOMETHING, and as such was highly respected by all factions of Jin society.

Around the age 16, Ji took the civil service exam to enter the bureaucracy. Ji was appointed to the court of GOVERNOR OF HIS PROVINCE, though he resigned just six years later due to the death of his parents, both of whom had contracted yellow fever in a widespread outbreak which ravaged HIS PROVINCE between 1823-1824.

Following his resignation, Ji utilized his family's vast wealth to study foreign texts. In this period, which spanned fifteen years, Ji became fluent in Ishi, Mei, Hethish and Trébolaise. Through his studies, Ji developed a strong fascination with foreign cultures and began to write about his desire to travel outside of Jinguk. It was also during this period that Ji briefly became involved in the progressive movement, debating many aristocrats on the merits of modern technology and foreign customs. As a result, Ji began dressing in Telephanian-style clothing and cut his hair. Though Ji became disillusioned with the progressive movement in 1840 following the deadly DAESAN REVOLT, he continued this style of dress until his death.

### **Departure from Jinguk**

In 1842, Ji read about Itenco after acquiring a Hethish book on the Martrian nation. Subsequently, Ji became fascinated in the nation and began to plan a voyage to Itenco, however the isolationist policies of the Jin government at the time hindered the expediency of his plan. Ji applied to leave Jinguk (as was customary for all Jin citizens during the period) and did not receive authorization from the Jin government to leave until 1846. Additionally, only three countries were allowed to send ships to and from Jinguk; Nantou, Meixun and Sajahang. The quickest route to Martria at the time would be to go to Sajahang, a maritime shipping and trading hub and charter a merchant ship to Itenco. Finally Ji, seeking to embark on this route, departed from Jinguk on 13 June 1848.

### **Time in Sajahang**

Ji arrived in Sajahang on 16 June 1848. In his account of the journey, Ji writes that leaving his homeland for the first time was overwhelming:

> "Feeling my feet on foreign soil for the first time, I felt so sad at heart on account of my loneliness that I could not restrain the tears that started to my eye, and wept bitterly" (Chapter 1).
>
