The **Duchy of** **Landeshils,** (*adjective: Landeshilsen, pronounced: [lādɛɲ'hɪʊs]*) commonly known as **Hilsjecka** and **Landeshils**, was a nation in Orbis.

## History

### Legendary Origin

It begins with the ocupation of New Rome Hill by Dauk Tribesmen in around 2100 BCS, they thrived in harmony until 2060 BCS, when another Dauk Tribesmen, known as Bobëtii, expels them from the Hill, they are exiled to the north. Led by **Thain Næfemsfara**, he mediated the crisis and united the chieftains against the invaders, he rallies an army in battle, now naming themselves **Kl'Bobëtii** (meaning Not/Anti-Bobëtii), he defeats the Bobëtii and drives them away. The war had, in turn, exausted the landscape and now it was esterile.

The Kl'Bobëtii migrates north for 20 years, where they estabilish sedentary hamlets and come in contact with Almaren, from the interaction they learn of the **Common Speech** and named the new dwelling 'Landeshils' and became the ancestors of the Modern Landeshilsen.

### **Geography**

Landeshils was comprised of generally steep hills and a arid savanna, not very desirable for a kingdom to thrive. It was limited eastwards by the Church Valley (as there was a temple reminescent of a orthodox church on that area) in Rhodoa and westwards by the Missisipi river, also called Anduin II. One of the main features of the nation's capital was Lake Mead, a giant body of water that gives access to outer sea through other waterways.

Points of interest in Landeshils outside Prakta include:

* Murmanska Outpost, cobblestone keep, served as initial residence of the duke before moving to Prakta.
* Argonia Outpost, wooden fort, inspired of the iconic western Apache Forts.
* Kalvask Camp, abandoned project of the duke, intended for a military camp.
* Monument of Flagstaff-Hilsjecka Friendship, built after the staggering joint defense of the Plain of Kunengraz by Neim and Jurolssino.
* Cross Outdoor and Hill of Crosses, both sites depicting the cruelty of Landeshilsen punishment for criminals.

### Administration

Landeshils was primarly an unitary polity, with an autocratic leader, particularly governing by decrees and edicts. The leader held absolute decision-making power, to appoint and remove overseers of the provinces, which were called Counts ('Count' meaning someone of royal trust) or Barons, these overseers were civil administrators of the land. The King or Duke also had published a statute, which granted rights and freedoms to those residing in his domain, also a punishment jurisprudency, although never used or throughly implemented. All of these institutions were dismantled during the Duke's absence or when the country was ultimately absorved by Columbia during the Great Dauk War.

### Symbology

The Landeshilsen tricolor of Dark Blue, White and Gold originates from the colors of the Nation's founder, Duke Jurolssino I, and were on his Coat of Arms. The Dark Blue stands for water and culture of earth, The White stands for peace and progress and the Gold stands for riches and strength.

The Landeshilsen Emblem, a **Golden Hipogriff**, was a dinastic crest of Jurolssino I and was adopted by his successor as the State Emblem.

### **Etymology**

Landeshils is a junction of words and meanings in both old and modern landeshilsen languages.

'Landes' derives from the commonspeak word "Land", the 'es' was used in old speak as to say something belongs to an entity. The word 'Land' in Landeshilsen is exclusively used to describe to a realm or state, rather to a portion of terrain.

'Hils' just translates 'river' in Landeshilsen. Summarizing, Landeshils means /The land of the river/.
