Otis I of Wyrsia

***“**Is it not glorious? Onir has granted me his favor!**”***
— Otis of Wyrsia

**Otis I of Wyrsia**, born as **Otis Cainley**, and often nicknamed as **Otis the Mad**, was the King of Wyrsia between 566 and 591 AW. While at first, he proved a promising ruler, he seemingly grew into a raving madman somewhere in the 580s, until he was deposed and killed by the Order of the Red Dove in 591 AW for the chaos he was causing.

## Biography

Otis was the oldest son of Runo of Wyrsia, or, at the very least, the oldest he knew of. Nonetheless, he was still a bastard but was legitimized by his father from an early age. He received a military general, later becoming a squire and a knight, before becoming a royal guard at the age of twenty.

His father inherited the throne from his brother, Simon, in 560 AW, which made Otis the heir of the throne. Ultimately, Runo died by falling down the stairs, but whether this was an accident or if he was pushed remains a mystery. Otis was crowned king of Wyrsia, with the approval of the Order of the Red Dove, in 566 AW.

While the Wyrsians initially expected Otis to follow his father and uncle's footsteps, he turned out to be remarkably involved in the duties that came with the crown. Whereas the previous two kings had delegated their power to ministers, nobles, and generals, Otis ruled efficiently and mostly independently. His policies were overwhelmingly effective in improving both the stability of Wyrsia and its economy, and he even gained the respect of some of the Red Dove mages. Generally speaking, Otis was well-liked and respected, regarded as the first competent king of Wyrsia to come out of House Cainley.

Then he went mad.

It is unknown why exactly Otis descended into madness, or when, but in 587 AW, he suddenly proclaimed himself the prophet of the Chaos God, Onir, which raised a lot of eyebrows in Wyrsia. He took resources meant for construction projects across Wyrsia and used them to fund temples and statues of the God of Chaos. His behavior became more and more unpredictable as the stability of his early reign collapsed, with nobles randomly being accused of treason and executed.

Ultimately, in mid-591 AW, he declared that the Kingdom of Wyrsia would be renamed to "*The Eternal and Glorious Kingdom of the Servants of Onir in Enselonde*." When the decree reached Redlyre, the Red Dove read it over once and immediately marched on Woodhall, arresting the king, later hanging him.

## Personality

Otis was described as being a righteous and effective king who genuinely cared about improving the lives of his subjects and the state of his nation, even while being a puppet king under the Red Dove. However, none of that remained after his descent into madness. Late in his life, Otis is described as being all over the place, constantly changing his mind. He was paranoid, possessed, or just a raving lunatic to some.
Blinded Order of Knights

The **Blinded Order of Knights** is a military order dedicated to the One and a successor group of the Grey Brotherhood of Knights. It was founded by Kalnar the Broken, a knight and military strategist of the Kingdom of the One who survived the Battle of Rosendorf in 1013 AW.

While the Blinded Order does not consist of blind men, Kalnar the Broken was, which is how the Order received its namesake. Losing one eye to an arrow on the battlefield, and another while being tortured by his Mareni captors, Kalnar the Broken was captured and mutilated multiple times, though his zeal and wisdom remained unaffected. While Kalnar had to be guided around, he eventually founded Apicos Monastery near the Daletian town of Apicos with his followers as one of many exile settlements founded after the defeat in 1013 AW.

The Blinded Order of Knights continuedto operate to this day under the banner of the larger Grey Temple, though they remain a largely independent entity. The Blinded Order teaches most standard doctrines and traditions associated with successor groups that arose from Alwin the Holy's Grey Brotherhood of Knights, though they express the importance of remaining unwavering as Kalnar the Broken had been. As a result, the Blinded Order of Knights is one of the most devoted of the Grey Temple's organisations, with Apicos Monastery being a beacon of Worship of the One in Daletia.

In recent years, they have maintained a stance of loose neutrality under their leader, Eric Avitus. The Empire of Daletia, consumed by civil war, has loose control of its generals and legions. This led to a failed Daletian raid against Apicos Monastery, yet the would-be invaders were repelled with heavy casualties as the Blinded Order fought with extreme zeal to defend their headquarters. Since then, no other group involved in the Daletian Civil War has dared to attack the Blinded Order.
Grey Brotherhood of Rosendorf

The **Grey Brotherhood of Rosendorf**, officially the **Resurgent Grey Brotherhood of Knights in Rosendorf**, is a Grey Temple-aligned successor group of the defunct Grey Brotherhood of Knights operating in the Free City of Rosendorf and some of its neighbouring countries.

The Grey Brotherhood of Rosendorf was founded at the orders of Gabriel Grossheim in 1222 AW after the establishment of the Free City of Rosendorf. Previously, the area of the western Marenbach Mountains had a small presence in the form of the Grey Brotherhood of Marenbach, which continues to operate underground. The Grey Knights of Rosendorf have a much more public profile under their illustrious and charismatic grandmaster Simon Beck. Their headquarters, unlike a modest chapter hall or isolated fortress, is right in the heart of the Grey Temple's politics: the Grand Temple of Rosendorf, the third largest temple in Enselonde.

As a group, the Grey Knights of Rosendorf have often supported the effort of Gabriel Grossheim directly, both in his namesake Grossheim Offensive and the Blizzard March. After a shaky peace was established between Rosendorf and Marenbach, the local order of Grey Knights was sent to assist Grey Temple's efforts in other conflicts, primarily the War for Weckstein and Second Fühlgartian Civil War.
Iar II, Count of Red Skull

**Iar II of Red Skull**, born **Iar Cille**, was a Wyrsian nobleman who served as the Count of Red Skull and leader of the Red Skull people from 867 AW until his death in 892 AW. Iar II was a lifelong populist who took in the opinions of his people and portrayed himself as a champion of the Red Skull. He was succeeded by his son, Can II.
Cult of Hykkron

The **Cult of Hykkron** is a local decentralised religion centred around Hykkron, the undead ruler of the Freehold of Hykkfjord. The cult has failed to take root outside of their native Hykkfjord, with most other states outlawing the worship. The Divine Order of Enselonde recognises the Cult of Hykkron as a heretical sect and has widely condemned it. These bans are ceremonial at best, as there are very little to no followers of Hykkron outside of Hykkfjord. Inside the Freehold's borders, the Divine Order holds no authority.

The Cult of Hykkron was founded in the wake of the War of the Envoys. The local Envoy of Magic within the Freehold of Ryliria, Hykkron, had usurped the country in the conflict and rebelled against the Nytalyrian Empire. To fend off increasing Nytalyrian assaults, he turned to Blood Magic, learning to use it without dying near-instantly. This left Hykkron crippled and injured over a long period of time before being bedridden. However, he began transferring his soul to other bodies, using them as thralls. In this sense, he became undead and achieved some degree of immortality, though he lost both his body and his mind over the coming centuries.

The Cult reveres Hykkron and their Thrall Kings as Gods. Appeasing and worshipping these Gods is the number one concern for these cultists. To do so, they focus on all manners of blood. Whether that be through dabbling in Blood Magic or offering living sacrifices, willing or not, to Hykkron. The highest honour for a cultist is to become a thrall for Hykkron to possess. There have been numerous reasons why the Cult of Hykkron has drawn critique from the outside of the country, first and foremost for worshipping a false deity. While some non-deities, such as Champions, are subjects of worship, these usually have some blessing or association with the traditional Diivnes. For Hykkron, this is simply not the case. Paired with practices such as brutal sacrificial killings, the encouragement of violence towards outsiders, and a general disregard for all other established Divines have led to the widespread outlawing of the Cult of Hykkron.

Inside Hykkfjord, this ban holds no effect. The Cult has acted as the sole state religion of the Freehold since the religion arose in the early 5th century AW.
Common Language

**Common** is a universal language spoken across most of Enselonde. It originates with the Dryads, who have historically always been at the heart of international diplomacy. After the end of the Third Human Rebellion, languages began drifting apart further and further with each passing decade.

To mend the language barrier, the Dryads created the Common language out of their native tongue, Old Human –which was mostly spoken across the South – and Proto-Nytalyrian – which had become the dominant language of the North. While the initial reactions to Common were mixed, over the following centuries, its use became widespread and the language became a secondary official language in most countries, as children began learning Common from their parents alongside their native language.

## Exceptions

There are however a few exceptions to this "universal" language. There are some areas where Common either never spread to or where the locals simply rejected to adopt it. These are:

* The Plagued of the Crimson Bog, who cling onto Old Faerian and view Common as a hostile language meant to erase their culture.
* The Qu'Zell, both the wanderers and those who live in the City. For them, Common is simply too difficult to learn.
* The Dra Kh Lozz Empires of Nuj Tarrok, who have been isolated from the rest of Enselonde and don't care for Common.
* Some Xyphians who live underneath the oceans have no use for Common, as they never set foot on dry land.

## Examples of Common

Examples of Common do not need to be given, as most information within the Library has been written in Common. These very words you are reading are written in Common.
Army of Redlyre (Kingdom of Wyrsia)

The **Army of Redlyre** was a ducal retinue belonging to the Duchy of Redlyre in the Kingdom of Wyrsia. Founded in the 520s in a series of military reforms, the Army of Redlyre incorporated several battlemages of the Order of the Red Dove and was known to have the largest amount of mages of any Wyrsian army.

The Army of Redlyre survived the Great War largely unscathed thanks to it being the first army to abandon the Highlands of Death after the Battle of the Green Grove, giving them enough time to avoid encirclement by the Fühlgartian Second Army. It returned to Redlyre, where it successfully defended the duchy against attacks by the Fühlgartians and, later on, the Protectorate of Woodhall and the Republic of Southern Wyrsia.

When the Woodhall Campaign kicked off in 1228 AW, with the Monarchists exiles under Cecilia I retaking the old capital of Wyrsia, Duke Patric II of Redlyre was pressured by the Red Dove into declaring independence. Upon doing so, he disbanded the Army of Redlyre. However, nearly all of its soldiers were instead incorporated into the newfound Redlyrian National Army, where they remain to this day.

## Generals

* Dordos I, Duke of Redlyre - Red Skull Rebellion
* Patric II of Redlyre - Great War
Inoxh

***“**My friend, the Dra Kh Lozz were born to struggle. The Scaled Legion are no maniacs; they are just ahead of the curve.**”***
— Inoxh

**Inoxh**, also known as the **Unyielding One**, is the Draconic God of Earth. Once a prominent military leader, he received one of the Six Divine Potions made from the blood of the fallen Archangel Doloa and subsequently achieved godhood.

Inoxh and his followers would establish the Empire of Higghos on the western shores of Nuj Tarrok. Higghos would eventually be conquered by the Hrek under Sheh'hok. Inoxh did not take the defeat lying down like his fellow Draconic Gods and continued a brutal centuries-long guerilla campaign against Sheh'hok.

In the early 8th century AW, Inoxh knew the struggle was lost. He founded the Scaled Legion and abandoned Nuj Tarrok altogether. Instead, he invaded the Sapphire Empire with his army of followers. The Inoxhic Invasion, as it would later be known, ultimately proved a failure. However, the Scaled Legion and Inoxh would continue their existence in the South as vassals to the Sapphire Empire, who saw the merit of having an army of Dra Kh Lozz at their disposal. More recently, Inoxh has thrown his lot behind the Empire of Sallant, being an avid supporter of the Sapphire League.
Army of Whaler's Bay (Kingdom of Wyrsia)

The **Army of Whaler's Bay** was a ducal retinue belonging to the Duchy of Whaler's Bay in the Kingdom of Wyrsia. It was founded in a wave of military reforms in the 520s. The Army of Whaler's Bay was unique in the fact that it was heavily incorporated with the Wyrsian navy. It was often relied upon for naval assaults and landings, or operating around waterways such as lakes or rivers. Besides its Human troops, the army included a large number of Xyphians who could operate underwater.

The Army of Whaler's Bay was disbanded in the early stages of the Great War. After the Battle of the Green Grove and the fall of Stavia, the collapse of the Wyrsian mainland was unavoidable. The army disobeyed orders to make for the capital, Woodhall, and returned to Whaler's Bay. In the resulting siege of the city, it bought as much time as naval evacuations began, primarily to the Sylvir Cluster or northwards to Woodhall or any of the other Wyrsian overseas territories.

As the Fühlgartians entered the city, the army was disbanded on the spot and its soldiers were tasked with hiding their equipment and blending in with the civilian population. Despite repeated attempts to find former officers and troops by Group Zero, these efforts were largely fruitless. Many of the former members of the Army of Whaler's Bay joined the National Army during Cresslock's Rebellion and the foundation of the modern Free City of Whaler's Bay.
Dogs of Whitecrest

Flag used by the Dogs of Whitecrest.

The **Dogs of Whitecrest**, or simply the **Dogs**, formerly known as **Barclove's Gang**, are a Crestian criminal gang operating out of Whitecrest's Common District. They are a major member of the Crestian Syndicate. The Dogs are the oldest surviving criminal gang in Whitecrest, created a few years after the bridges between the Eastern and Western Districts of the city were closed in 1150 AW.

Generally regarded as the most violent gang in Whitecrest, leadership of the Dogs has passed hands multiple times, with its strongest fighter always acting as the gang's boss. It is currently led by Sebastiaan Kenven, who has been the boss of the Dogs for over thirty years, a previously unheard-of amount of time.

The Dogs tend to value their anonymity, getting rid of any ties to their previous lives before becoming a Dog. Freshly recruited Dogs are granted a nickname by their peers, which acts as their new identity. Only a handful of members' actual names are known to the others, though even with their names being public knowledge, fellow Dogs will continue to use their nickname as is custom.

Envoys of Magic

The **Envoys of Magic** were a group of superhuman diplomatic guards of the Empire of Nytalyria. Created by Lyxis the Blind shortly after the conclusion of the Divine War, the Envoys of Magic were embued with part of her power and tasked with guarding various Nytalyrian embassies and high-ranking officials throughout Enselonde, mostly in the New Freeholds.

Extremely powerful fighters, the Envoys of Magic were infamous for their widespread corruption and abuse of power. Their crimes range from extortion, murder, regicide, high treason, and – in some extreme cases – the mass murder of entire cities' populations. With diplomatic pressure mounting against the Envoys of Magic, Lyxis the Blind sought to eliminate them. However, she had granted them irrevocable powers when they were first granted their positions, leaving her with roughly two hundred Champion-like soldiers.

What followed was the War of the Envoys in 320 AW. Many Envoys resisted Lyxis' influence, naming themselves the de-facto authority on Nytalyrian matters in their assigned countries. A smaller group of loyalists retained their services to the Empire, fighting against their rogue brethren despite being outnumbered. Every last one of the loyalist Envoys would be killed in the course of the conflict, as they became targets for traitor Envoys.

After 50 years of infighting, only one rebel Envoy remained: Hykkron. Hykkron had turned to blood magic, becoming an extremely powerful immortal being that rivalled Lyxis the Blind. Despite imperial efforts, he proved impossible to defeat, and ultimately founded the Freehold of Hykkfjord. With violence getting her nowhere, Lyxis agreed to peace with Hykkron. Hykkfjord could continue its existence as a Freehold, though with some degree of Nytalyrian oversight. That same year, the Envoys were formally disbanded, though Hykkron continues to style himself as the last Envoy of Magic to this day. After the War of the Envoys, Lyxis created the Nytalyrian Sirens to replace them. Divine Offspring instead of enhanced mortals, and in much smaller numbers, the Sirens proved to be much easier to keep in line.

The War of the Envoys was a significant cause for the weakening of many New Freeholds, which ultimately led to the beginning of Human dominance in many areas of the North.
Henry Webbman

**Henry Webbman** is a Wyrsian Monarchist captain in the Army for the Liberation of Wyrsia (ALW). He currently leads a small cavalry company in the Wyrsian reserve at the ongoing Battle of Sunfort.

Webbman was previously a captain in the Neuesfeld Expeditionary Force (NEF) under General Kirian Sharpe. He was present at Noreillen during the Noreillen Incident and was able to gather the remaining NEF rearguard and retreat to Neuesfeld after Sharpe was killed by Prince Kepler von Kalzberg and his retinue.

In the wake of the destructive Noreillen Incident, the NEF by was disbanded by Queen Cecilia and Webbman returned to Wyrsia where he was re-appointed to the ALW to aid in the Wyrsian Civil War. He continues to serve in this post to this day.
Kinzova

***“**Amongst the Kinzovan Mountains and its endless snow lays its namesake and pearl: Kinzova. Unconquerable, eternal, beautiful.**”***
— Guide to Cities of the Eastland

**Kinzova** (Old Hyllidan: **Kynzyv**) is the capital city of the Duchy of Kinzova. Historically, Kinzova has been a relatively small city of great importance, as its rulers can control three of the four major mountain passes of the Kinzovan Mountains with ease. This has allowed the city to rise to great prominence as nearly all trade between the western and eastern half of the Eastland passes through it.

## Ownership

* Freehold of Inafel (281-130 BW)
* Human Freemen (130-127 BW)
* Kingdom of the Eastland (127-102 BW)
* Human Kingdom of Kinzova (102-19 BW)
* Human Kingdom of Toscov (19-17 BW)
* Golden Empire of Toscov (17 BW-875 AW)
* Kingdom of Toscov (875-1213 AW)
* Republic of Toscov (1213-1214 AW)
* Duchy of Kinzova (1214 AW-)
Divine Seal

A Divine Seal serves as a resting place for Divines that have partaken in the Withdrawal. These are often awe-inspiring gigantic structures that draw thousands of pilgrims. However, some Divine Seals have been broken over the years, either by the one inside of it or by external forces. Below is a list of Divine Seals.
Grand Gesch Bridge

The **Grand Gesch Bridge** is a massive bridge crossing the River Gesch east of Amberg. It was constructed in 915 AW at the orders of Martin II to serve as part of a new infrastructural route between Fühlgart's western cities and the new capital city of Kalzberg.

The bridge was destroyed by retreating Monarchist forces after the Battle of Amberg during the Fühlgartian Civil War. Reconstruction efforts by the Republic of Fühlgart began in 1206 AW, with repairs being completed in 1208 AW.

The bridge is now in the hands of Albert Schmied and the Amberg Defense Army, who took Amberg in 1227 AW and rebelled against the Republic.
Battle of Yegork (146 AW)

Combatants| * Imperial Princes

Commanders| * Bolkov Tarassev

Forces| * Princely Army of Toscov

Casualties| * 50~ dead or wounded

The **Battle of Yegork** was a minor battle of the early War of the Fifteen Princes fought between Bolkov Tarassev, General of the Princely Army of Toscov, and Rebel Princess Jaleka near the village of Yegork.

It was the first overland battle of the civil war. After a brief clash, Tarassev threatened to outflank Jaleka, which led her to retreat back to Katovsk.
Battle of Cynda's Creek (650 AW)

Combatants| * Kingdom of Wyrsia

Commanders| * Kisyar Wintermane

Forces| * Wintermane's Expeditionary Force

Casualties| * 15~ dead or wounded
* 50~ captured

The **Battle of Cynda's Creek** was a minor battle of the Wyrsian Invasion of Great Skull. After the Battle of Fioll, Astos II had given the order to retreat to Taragha. Larkhel Faeskull and his Faerian Warband refused this call to arms, attacking the Kingdom of Wyrsia head-on in a series of raids in the Redlyrian countryside. In response, Kisyar Wintermane and his Expeditionary Force turned around and chased after Faeskull.

Faeskull and his Warband were cornered and retreated across Cynda's Creek, a small river in the Duchy of Redlyre. However, Wintermane had expected the retreat and had split his force, with a half on both sides of the river. Faeskull charged at Wintermane's split force, but the experienced Red Dove battlemages tore the Faerian and his Warband to shreds. Faeskull lost his life, and any survivors surrendered.
Chinek Khan

**Chinek Khan**, personal name **Chinek Banthasu**, is the current Khan of Agumia. The second son of the late Banthas Khan, Chinek was unexpectedly named as his successor days before Banthas died in 1224 AW, sparking a rivalry between him and his older brother, Kenthor Tegin.

Besides being a ruler, Chinek Khan also leads the Banner of the Front in the ongoing Steppe Rebellion against the Empire of Sallant. Notoriously stubborn, much like his father, Chinek Khan wants to keep Agumia neutral and self-sufficient at all costs, refusing all aid against Sallant by the Monarchists, Grey Temple, and Republicans alike.
Golir Kannas

**Golir Kannas** was a minor warlord who controlled the town of Aleja in the Great Sand Sea. He was a Desert Lord and a member of the Sixth Hegemony.

Kannas took control of Aleja at a relatively young age in the wake of the collapse of the Fifth Hegemony. Crushed by both Sallant and Da'al Mon for their neutrality, Kannas was quick to align himself with the Sallanthians to avoid the same fate.

Kannas participated in the Fifth Desert Lord Invasion of Da'al Mon in 1214 AW. During this time, his base of operations in Aleja fell to Agil Gosan, an experienced soldier who betrayed Kannas. Instead of turning around to retake his seat of power, Kannas fatally chose to continue fighting in the larger Second Sallanthian-Da'al Moni War after the inconclusive end of the Fifth Invasion. When this war, too, ended in stalemate and failure, Sallanthian Emperor Muzai II summoned the Sixth Hegemony warlords and had them beheaded one at a time, including Kannas. What scattered followers survived this betrayal by the Sallanthians split off to do their own thing, leaving Agil Gosan unopposed in Aleja to this day.
Ansko Beck

**Ansko Beck** is a Rosendorfer knight and the personal bodyguard of Gabriel Grossheim. He is the younger brother of Simon Beck, the founding grandmaster of the Grey Brotherhood of Marenbach. A master of the spear, Ansko Beck always enters the battlefield alongside Grossheim and has served him continuously since the 1222 AW Rosendorf Offensive.

Besides his duties as a bodyguard, Ansko is also a personal confidant and friend of Gabriel Grossheim. He has been credited for saving Gabriel's life twice: once during the Blizzard March, and once from a would-be assassin. His service to and proximity to Grossheim has made Ansko Beck a person of minor political importance at the Grand Temple of Rosendorf.
Bloodbeak Pridehunters

The **Bloodbeak Pridehunters** are the standing army of the Bloodbeak Harpy Clan in eastern Amagoi. A small but ruthless unit, the Pridehunters are responsible for defending the Clan's borders, skirmishing with would-be invaders, and scouting for threats. The Pridehunters are tasked with upholding the pride of the Bloodbeak Clan at any cost and will not back down from a fight no matter the diplomatic or political consequences of their attacks.

Becoming a Pridehunter is both extremely difficult and dangerous, with the majority of Harpies who undertake the trials dying. Those few who survive turn into some of the deadliest combatants of Enselonde, stalking their targets from the skies and attacking before they can react. Travelers heading near the territory of the Bloodbeaks are advised to keep an eye on the sky for Pridehunters at all times.
Fylia I of Nytalyria

***“**All the other Sirens mocked me for not using magic, for relying on simple weapons made by simple mortals. Now mother is dead, and their magic has all but disappeared. It's made them helpless and weak.**”***
— Fylia the Siren

**Fylia I of Nytalyria**, often called **Fylia the Siren**, is a former Siren who serves as the second Empress of Nytalyria after the death of Lyxis the Blind. She has ruled since the outbreak of the Nytalyrian Crisis in 1228 AW, inheriting an all but collapsed Empire beset by war on two sides.

Before ascending to the throne, Fylia was best known as an expert blademaster. Though she favored the bichaq, a type of sidearm dagger most commonly found around Da'al Mon, she mastered practically every weapon devised by the mortals of Enselonde from every corner of the world. She was notable for refusing to use magic and upholding her version of the Human Dishonorable Weapons doctrine, frequently criticizing magic and gunpowder weaponry as cowards' weapons.
Can's Warband (Great Skull)

**Can's Warband** was a militia raised by Can Cille during the Wyrsian Invasion of Great Skull in 650 AW. A reserve unit, it didn't see action until after the death of King Astos II. After its brief participation in the closing stages of the Battle of Taragha, recovering Astos' body, it retreated to Cnoc Iar pursued by Zachary Mitthel and the Army of Woodhall. At Cnoc Iar, it held off a Wyrsian assault as the town's population was evacuated eastward.

Having lost most of his veterans at Cnoc Iar and with the war turning against Great Skull, Can Cille realised that the war was lost. He surrendered willingly to Zachary Mitthel, negotiating with the Wyrsian general that the Warband would be dissolved and its soldiers were allowed to return to civilian life in peace. After Can Cille was appointed as the first Count of Red Skull by Zachary Mitthel, now king Zachary I of Wyrsia, some of the former members of the Warband became part of Can Cille's personal bodyguard and retinue at Cnoc Cain.

House iz Arkhalesk

**House iz Arkhalesk** was a cadet house of House iz Toscov founded by Rebel Prince Zelumir. Born from a disagreement over a potential adoption, the childless and sick Zhincis wished to adopt a lowborn girl named Vera as his heir. Ludimik II, Emperor of Toscov and house head, blocked this decision. In response, Zhincis broke away from House iz Toscov and formed House iz Arkhalesk.

Vera became Princess of Arkhalesk in 173 AW after Zhincis' death, and her descendants would rule over the Principality for the rest of the Empire's existence. While a cadet branch of the larger House iz Toscov, the Arkhaleskians were a constant thorn in their side and ignored any and all attempts to order them around.

House iz Arkhalesk faded from relevance alongside many other Toscovish houses in the wake of the Five Kings' Invasion. The Principality of Arkhalesk became the seat for the new Kingdom of Avateaux, and many of House iz Arkhalesk's members were killed or exiled to the Kingdom of Toscov. Heading into the 10th Century AW, they had faded from relevance.

Fenmore I, Count of Red Skull

**Fenmore I of Red Skull**, born **Fenmore Cille**, was a Wyrsian nobleman who served as the Count of Red Skull and leader of the Red Skull people from 820 AW until his death in 847 AW. A formidable warrior and staunch supporter of the Red Skull identity, much like his mother Cian I, Fenmore I created the Army of the Red Skull during his reign. He died of natural causes at the age of 78 and was succeeded by his son, Fenmore II.
Coslia

**Coslia** is a village located in the Great Sand Sea. It has been under the control of the Desert Lords for the past two centuries. Coslia was founded near a natural spring. To bear the heat of the sun, its residents burrowed their homes into the terrain. Rich ores and strong rocks for construction were discovered during this process. As a result, the residents of Coslia almost entirely turned to mining, and its quarry has sustained other settlements in the Great Sand Sea.

Coslia is part of the Seventh Hegemony and has been under the control of warlord Kurazach Tolagame since 1215 AW. He has used Coslia's stones to rebuild and expand parts of the larger town of Tenovah, about half a day's ride to the northeast on horseback. The heavy materials are carried on improvised sled-like contraptions across the dunes by pack animals.
Agil Gosan

**Agil Gosan** is a minor warlord who controls the village of Aleja in the Great Sand Sea. He is one of the Desert Lords and a member of the Seventh Hegemony.

Born in 1161 AW, Agil Gosan was just old enough to see the Fifth Hegemony get cruelly destroyed by the Sallanthian and Da'al Moni Empires. He was conscripted to be a soldier at the age of eleven in the chaotic aftermath of the Hegemony's collapse. In time, he ended up under the service of Sixth Hegemony warlord Golir Kannas, though his disdain for the Sallanthians was well-known.

During the Fifth Desert Lord Invasion of 1214 AW, Agil Gosan betrayed Golir Kannas by marching on his headquarters at Aleja, depriving Kannas of his headquarters. A counterattack never came as Kannas was among the warlords beheaded by Emperor Muzai II. Whatever Sallanthian-favouring followers of Kannas survived split off, leaving Gosan to expand his power freely.

A supporter of the long-destroyed Fifth Hegemony, Gosan was a key player in the formation of the modern Seventh Hegemony, also neutral and reformist in nature. His role within the larger Hegemony has been one of a bridge builder who has established positive relations between many former rivals. His old age and experience make him a well-respected figure amongst the denizens of the Great Sand Sea, and attacks against him have been both rare and ineffective as a result.
Fühlgartian Boys

The **Fühlgartian Boys** are a Monarchist-aligned Crestian gang and a minor member of the Crestian Syndicate. Considered a prototype version of the Fühlgartian Syndicate, the group appeared during the Republican-Wyrsian War, consisting of defected soldiers who entered Whitecrest through Wyrsia. It is an open secret that the gang was initially funded by the exiled Prince Kepler von Kalzberg, though he has since withdrawn funding in favour of his own groups.

Since then, the Fühlgartian Boys are a de-facto protectorate under the much larger Sons of Innyria and act as a middleman between them and the Fühlgartian Syndicate. Led by Aliss Gregau, a former intelligence officer of Group Zero, the Fühlgartian Boys are experts at the art of propaganda and have used this knowledge to improve the Crestian Syndicate's diplomatic standings with the rest of Enselonde.

The Fühlgartian Boys have openly supported Erik von Kalzberg-Mitthel's claim to the Fühlgartian throne.

## Members

* Aliss Gregau - Leader

* Kepler von Kalzberg - Former benefactor
Iosif Tupystin

**Iosif Tupystin**, or **Sir Iosif**, was a Toscovish minor noble and knight who served in the Imperial Guard and was later appointed as Captain of the Imperial Guard under Emperor Budimiv I. During the outbreak of the War of the Fifteen Princes, Iosif Tupystin defended the Imperial Palace against a coup attempt by Rebel Princes Durkrin and Zhincis. Ultimately, the assault was foiled by the Imperial Guard, though Sir Iosif was cut down in the fighting.
Kogha

***“**Live the bessst life you can; nobody elssse will do it for you.**”***
— Kogha

**Kogha**, also known as the **Harvesting One**, is the Draconic Goddess of Death. Once an alchemist, Kogha was the one who successfully gathered the blood of the fallen Archangel Doloa. She made the Six Divine Potions and eventually took one herself, achieving godhood.

Kogha and her followers would establish the Empire of Qossk in the east of Nuj Tarrok, constantly warring with the local Dragons. Unlike the other Dra Kh Lozzi empires, Qossk voluntarily submitted to the Empire of Hrek under Sheh'hok and has enjoyed a high degree of autonomy to this day as a reward. Kogha is an outspoken supporter of Sheh'hok, making the two vast allies.
Battle of Tagaarsk (147 AW)

Combatants| * Imperial Princes

Commanders| * Kanov I

Forces| * Princely Army of Trestovo

Casualties| * 350~ dead or wounded

The **Battle of Tagaarsk** was a minor battle of the War of the Fifteen Princes. Eubomir Kiriasanenko, a former peasant and soldier from Kinzova, had previously risen a Warband in support of the Rebel Princes. Lacking success in the Kinzovan Mountains, they moved into the Principality of Trestovo, capturing the town of Tagaarsk.

In response, Prince Kanov I took command of the Princely Army of Trestovo and set out to defeat the rebels at Tagaarsk. On the 55th of Frostfade, Kanov I launched a misguided assault on the town. Heavily fortified, the Rebels occupying Tagaarsk managed to inflict heavy losses against the Imperial forces, ultimately causing Kanov I to retreat and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

In the wake of the Battle of Tagaarsk, Kiriasanenko abandoned the town as troops from neighbouring Arkhalesk began to arrive. He and his militias fled into the Kinzovan Mountains once more, where they were eventually recruited into the Warband of Rebel Prince Zhincis, with Kiriasanenko beginning a rise to fame as Zhincis' second-in-command for the remainder of the civil war.
Banner of the Rear (Khanate of Agumia)

The **Banner of the Rear** is an infantry army of the Khanate of Agumia. While the Agumians specialise in mounted combat, either on Aroka or Horse, sometimes the landscape is better suited for foot infantry. Alternatively, one might wish to join the Banner of the Rear because they don't have a mount to ride on at all. The Banner of the Rear mostly hangs back near the frontline, waiting to advance behind the Banners of the Front and Flanks and occupy a captured area.

Created in 1207 AW by Banthas Khan in the early stages of the Steppe Rebellion, the Banner of the Rear was tasked with occupying settlements recently captured from the Empire of Sallant and going house-to-house, searching for any Sallanthian soldiers hiding amongst the population. The Banner of the Rear has maintained this role to this day, securing captured lands and watching out for any Sallanthian counteroffensives.

Salthok Beg, a friend of Banthas Khan and an established military officer, was put in charge of the Banner shortly after it was raised. Chinek Khan, Banthas' son and successor, has maintained Salthok's command despite his relative old age. Salthok, while keen on maintaining the Banner's status as an infantry unit, has formed a small but elite group of Hyllidan Arokar Cavalry that can act as a rapid strike force.
Zhincis II, Prince of Arkhalesk

**Zhincis iz Arkhalesk** was a Toscovish noble who ruled over the Principality of Arkhalesk between 274 and 309 AW. Like his namesake, Rebel Prince Zhincis, Zhincis II was a military leader of great talent. He introduced major reforms to the Princely Army of Arkhalesk, making it a more efficient force throughout his lifetime.

He died of natural causes in 309 AW and was succeeded by his son Rollaniy.

## Argument

El Shiratorizawa i el Karasuno disputen un partit molt igualat. Els jugadors de Sendai creuen que la clau per guanyar consisteix a marcar alguns punts seguits i és per això que fan servir el Shoyo Hinata d'esquer. De totes maneres, no aconsegueixen distanciar-se prou del rival, que treu molt de profit de les potents rematades de l'Ushijima. Finalment, el Tsukishima pressiona molt el Shirabu, que acaba equivocant-se i col·locant malament la pilota a l'Ushijima. Aquesta jugada dona la victòria del segon set al Karasuno.
George I of Wyrsia

**George I of Wyrsia**, born as **George Redbark**, was king of Wyrsia between 620 and 621 AW. He was born sickly and was terminally ill for most of his life.

## Biography

George Redbark was born in 594 AW as the oldest son of Edward Redbark, who would later become Edward II. George was born sickly and was mostly bedridden and ill throughout his life. When his father died in 620 AW, he became the king of Wyrsia.

Due to his poor health, the Order of the Red Dove was quick to reclaim much of their lost power from the weak Wyrsian king, who was forced to delegate many of his duties and powers to the Red Dove. When he died in 621 AW, the Red Dove had reclaimed almost all of its power lost to Edward II.

## Personality

Sources on King George are relatively rare, as his reign lasted barely a year, and he was a footnote in Wyrsian history. Sources describe him as being frail, totally unable to rule a country. Nonetheless, George tried his best, but ultimately, his health only deteriorated the more he tried to do his duties.
Annemiek van Corberg

**Annemiek van Corberg**, also known as the **Spymaster**, is a major officer of the Red Serfs and the leader of its intelligence network. She is the third and youngest child of its late leader, Herman van Corberg.

Growing up, Annemiek was different from other girls her age. While her upbringing as a minor noble would have been able to grant her a lavish and cushy lifestyle, the realities of living in the Eastern Districts of Whitecrest hit the young Annemiek hard. The criminality and cutthroat nature of the Crestian Syndicate made her heavily paranoid and she tried to remain out of the public eye with all her might as a child.

When her father, Herman van Corberg, died in 1218 AW and was succeeded by his eldest son Alexander, Annemiek's paranoia only increased. Alexander took care of the 13-year-old, however, personally continuing to oversee her education. When asked what she wanted to achieve with her life, the young Annemiek shrugged and said she didn't know. However, despite being a person that tried to remain in the background, her eyes and ears were always open, and she became something of a peddler of secrets.

Alexander picked up on her talents, ultimately making her a spy that kept tabs on the League of Whitecrest. Annemiek would distinguish herself in the latter stages of the War for Whitecrest when she managed to infiltrate the Fühlgartian garrison in the city and began feeding back more intel than the Syndicate could act on. As a reward, her brother made Annemiek the spymaster of the Red Serfs, a position that did not exist before then but rapidly became a very powerful one under her.

Nowadays, in the wake of the Fall for Whitecrest, Annemiek operates out of the Military District in the West, having made Greihill Keep her new headquarters. It is said that she has at least one double agent that reports directly to her in every gang that makes up the Crestian Syndicate.
Friederberg

**Friederberg** is a town in northwestern Fühlgart near the border with Western Innyria and Whitecrest. It currently acts as the seat of Prince Kepler von Kalzberg and the Anti-Wyrsian Inquisition in the Second Fühlgartian Civil War.

Before Prince Kepler took over the area, the town was of little interest to rulers. It was founded in 466 AW under the Duchy of Neuesfeld in the Alliance of Fühlgart. It was raided by Stephen Rooke during the Wyrsian-Innyrian War, though it has remained untouched by other conflicts.

Friederberg is an agricultural settlement, with the majority of its population being farmers. As a result, they have very little export and trade with other villages in the region, though it is the largest town in the relatively remote and rural area.

## Ownership

* Duchy of Neuesfeld (466-645 AW)
* Kingdom of Fühlgart (645-1205 AW)
* Republic of Fühlgart (1205-1228 AW)
* Kingdom of Fühlgart (1228 AW)
* Anti-Wyrsian Inquisition (1228 AW-)
Draconic Guard (Empire of Sallant)

The **Draconic Guard**, also known as the **New Dragonguard**, is an elitarian unit of bodyguards of the Empire of Sallant. They are assigned to various vital buildings and officials and are one of the most prestigious units in the South. The Draconic Guard was founded by Emperor Nisuh I and is the spiritual successor to the Sapphire Empire's Dragonguard.

The Draconic Guard recently underwent purges after Empress Danakha's coup. The majority of the Draconic Guard remained loyal to Muzai II even after his death, and they were the last units to fight against the new government. After the dust settled, Danakha I restored the Dragonguard under a new leader, Rhitix.
Battle of Fioll (650 AW)

Combatants| * Kingdom of Wyrsia

Commanders| * Zachary Mitthel
* Kisyar Wintermane

Forces| * Army of Woodhall
* Wintermane's Expeditionary Force

Casualties| * 200~ dead or wounded
* 100~ captured

***“**We had heard Garlog fortified the town and expected to besiege Fioll. However, as we arrived, they charged straight for us in an act akin to suicide. Hundreds of men were burned by magic or felled by arrows, including Garlog. They say the Great Skull tribals are savages, but I find that hard to believe. I think they're brave men caught on the wrong side of history.**”***
— Zachary Mitthel

The **Battle of Fioll** was the first major battle of the Wyrsian Invasion of Great Skull fought between the Wyrsian General Mitthel and Crown Prince Garlog of Great Skull. Garlog had been ordered by his father, Astos II, to abandon Fioll and to link up with him two days earlier, but Garlog had refused to leave the town. He had initially planned to defend the settlement by digging in, but upon the arrival of the Wyrsian forces, he immediately charged in alongside his Warband. This misguided assault led to extreme casualties on the tribal side.

## Events

* 07:00 - The Army of Woodhall begins to muster, preparing to march.
* 07:10 - The Army of Woodhall begins its march towards Fioll.
* 08:40 - Great Skull scouts report the Wyrsian army's movement.
* 09:01 - Wyrsian troops appear on the horizon of Fioll.
* 09:06 - Garlog Annuhin orders his Warband to abandon Fioll and to charge at the Wyrsians before they can form their battle formations.
* 09:07 - Zachary Mitthel orders the formation of a defensive line, and the cavalry tries to delay the charging enemies.
* 09:13 - The two lines clash as the Wyrsians are forced to defend.
* 09:16 - Kisyar Wintermane and his Expeditionary Force arrive.
* 09:17 - Wintermane and his mages begin bombarding the Great Skull backline.
* 09:22 - A Wyrsian cavalry charge breaks the tribal lines, and Garlog's Warband begins to rout.
* 09:24 - Garlog Annuhin dies from wounds sustained by arrows and pyromancy.
* 09:33 - Remaining tribal forces retreat into Fioll, hiding behind the local civilians.
* 09:43 - Wyrsian cavalry cuts off the main road out of Fioll.
* 09:52 - Fioll is completely surrounded.
* 09:57 - Remaining tribal forces surrender to Mitthel, ending the Battle of Fioll.

## Aftermath

The Battle of Fioll was a sobering reality for the Great Skull, as Prince Garlog was one of their most feared and famous fighters. With his Warband annihilated and Fioll lost, Astos II realised that the current form of warfare wasn't sufficient enough to stop the Wyrsian offensive. Subsequently, he ordered all Warbands to regroup at Taragha. However, many troop leaders refused to heed this call to arms, and independent engagements continued. Fioll became a sign of things to come, as the Great Skull remained disunited in their way of waging warfare.
Inyne

***“**Every mortal is a threat to Enselonde, not just the ones fighting. All must be cleansed by fire.**”***
— Inyne

**Inyne** was a star and Undergod of Cossyxia. She was created in 5715 BW during the early Age of Creation and was older than Enselonde and many of the Divines. Inyne was one of the lonelier stars and never cared much about socialising with the other Offspring of Cossyxia.

During the height of the Divine War, as the Divines were tearing Enselonde apart, Inyne was commanded to join the Starslaughter by Cossyxia. She landed in the Eastland and initially carried out her designated task, only fighting the Offspring of the other Divines. However, before long, Inyne took an extremist position that all mortals should be eliminated from the face of Enselonde to preserve it for all eternity.

What followed was the indiscriminate systematic destruction of village after village in modern-day Avateaux, with innocent civilians being burnt alive in the thousands. Once Cossyxia took notice of this in 7 BW, she immediately had Inyne destroyed for her blatant disobedience, and her star faded from the night sky soon after. After the death of Inyne, Cossyxia moved to significantly lower the autonomy of her Undergods, slowly turning them into mindless drones over the coming centuries.
Vera I, Princess of Arkhalesk

**Vera iz Arkhalesk** was a Toscovish adopted noblewoman who ruled as the 15th Princess of Arkhalesk between 173 and 214 AW.

Born to commoners, Vera was left orphaned in the final years of the War of the Fifteen Princes. She became a servant for Rebel Prince Zhincis, who became the new Prince of Arkhalesk in 156 AW. Extremely clever, outwitting adults of noble birth on occasion, Zhincis ultimately took notice of Vera. Heirless and sick, he wished to adopt the girl, though was blocked from doing so by Emperor Ludimik II. In response, Zhincis formed his own noble house, House iz Arkhalesk, and adopted her anyway. When he died in 173 AW, Vera took the Principality for herself with little issue, safe from some complaints from the capital.

A constant thorn in the side of the Toscovish Emperors, Vera drove a permanent wedge between the Principality of Arkhalesk and the central government, ignoring orders and decrees from multiple Emperors and inviting many nobles critical of the Empire to her court. Under Vera, Arkhalesk effectively became autonomous, with a total disregard for the Imperial government. In 214 AW, Vera suddenly fell ill and died, being succeeded by her son, Lavtey.

After the Five Kings' Invasion and subsequent collapse of the Golden Empire, documents were discovered that confirmed that she was poisoned at the orders of Emperor Budimiv II.
