Events & Great People

 * Horseman of Death IV: The Daevite Army pushed further into the HRE, slaughtering those in their way. As Vienna falls, the Holy Roman Emperor flees to Berlin. However, the Daevites are slowly, but surely, making their way to Berlin as well. Despite numerous minor number of crusades across Europe to raid and ambush Daevite patrols, the Daevites quickly learned from their blunder on the Japanese mainland and made sure to not walk through suspicious territory, explaining their ever slow advance across the terrain. Numerous heroes from across Europe arise to the occasion to stop them, but are usually swiftly slain in battle. Peasants from across Europe flee to the West. Meanwhile, Alggadda crumbles from the constant raids and skirmishes conducted by the Daevites on both fronts.
 * Bulijin in Jerusalem: The crusader states fall to the Daevites in 1308 after over a century of rule in the Levant. Bulijin Khatun, leader of the Daevites, sets foot in Jerusalem for the first time, "I've seen a nicer holy place that is less desecrated." She commented.
 * New Heights: Lincoln Cathedral in England is completed; with the spire reaching around 525 feet (160 m), it becomes the world's tallest structure (surpassing the Great Pyramid of Giza, which held the record for almost 4,000 years)
 * Wang Zhen: Wang Zhen, Li agronomist, government official, and inventor of wooden-based movable type printing, publishes the Nong Shu (Book of Agriculture).

 * King: Muramasa I (reign: 1269 - present)
 * Born: 1241
 * Ruling House: Nagasato
 * Economy: The Nagasatoan Economy primarily consists of fishing, fruits, and precious metals and gems. The currency is based on copper and silver coins, though the poverish would work for food and shelter, which includes a good portion of the population, since most could barely make enough to feed one person as Muramasa came to the throne. That being said, with a potential war on the horizon, jobs begin to sprout up, as the poor begin to receive a chance at rising through the ranks.
 * Main Religion: Shintoism
 * Cities and Demographics:
 * Population: ~225,000
 * Notable Cities:
 * Nagasato City (Capital)
 * Location: Sarangani Bay
 * Nagasato is a city like no other in the Philippines. Carrying the heritage of generations long past, architecture of old is mixed amongst structures of new, with the sea to the south and jungles to the north.
 * Davao (Mining hub)
 * Location: Southern Mindanao
 * Davao was a city created to house the various workers that work in the mines located nearby, which provides for a good majority of the exports from Nagasato
 * Tsuhama
 * Location: Northern Mindanao
 * The location of the old Gambo-ji capital, Tsuhama remains as the stronghold for the province, acting as a "puppet state" of the sorts for maintaining control over the region. Also functions similarly to Nagasato City, as trade from the northen Syonan and Japanese islands gets ferried into Tsuhama due to it's closer geographic location than the Nagasatoan cities further south.
 * Cagayan
 * Location: Northern Mindanao
 * Another port city captured during the Nagasatoan Unification of Mindanao. Due to its location, Cagayan is under modifications to becoming one of the hubs for the Nagasatoan navy, with numerous dockyards being produced for housing the growing fleet.
 * Wars and Conflicts
 * Looking North: Wishing to maintain security over trade routes as well as acquisition of resources, Nagasato turns its gaze north towards

 * Research and Development:
 * Danger Pylons: Various experimental designs are produced for these aquatic missiles to varying results. Of which, some results included the missile becoming airborne, veering off-course, and missiles that got waterlogged the second they hit the water. More research is required for refined water rockets to be developed.
 * Kulog Taihou MkII: Improvements are made to the Kulog Taihou, namely to increase range and “caliber” of cannon ever so slightly.
 * Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptor: With an expanding navy, the need for a specialized, fast, oceanic vessel was needed. With this requirement came the Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptor. Designed from the Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruisers, the Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptor is a smaller, faster ship than the Pagong-kai-class, while only sacrificing one pair of cannons.
 * Crew: 40
 * Production:


 * 20 Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruisers

 * Diplomacy:
 * Li: Nagasato is willing to negotiate a deal that will allow the Li’s to set up shop in Permagarong if they desire.
 * Sen-shu-koku: Nagasato wishes to diplomatic allies (both economically and politically), as well as inform them of plans to invade Souhama, both to ensure that Sen-shu-koku isn’t spooked by any surprises, as well as formulate a plan if they want to join in with the invasion (Molotov-Ribbentrop style)
 * Events:
 * Naval Expansion: With the blockade bypassed, the Nagasatoan military wish to bolster the navy even further, into a force to be respected. As such, development is poured into more advanced ships and ship-borne cannons.
 * Pemagarong: While unhappy with how it was done, Nagasato nevertheless allows Li to maintain its control over the port city, since Nagasato is in no position to deal with the repercussions of a long-winded conflict with their current plants of expansion, in addition to not wanting to sour their decent economic relationship
 * Nagasatoan Marines: The Light Infiltration Infantry regiments undergo training to allow them to effectively conduct water landings on foreign soil, as well as grow accustomed to sea sickness and other side effects of being at sea.
 * Done in preparation for an island-hopping campaign into Souhama

The army will attempt to hold and slowly retreat to behind the Oder river forts and so will the House of Kaufmann and the king's vassals, they will be moved to Raustadt which will thus be the de facto capital. Assuming the Daevites would continue, the army will hold for as long as possible, if the line is penetrated, as many people as possible (and obviously the king and all those royal peeps) will be sent to Heineg.

 * Archduke Johannes V Hohenstaufen (B 1275 - still alive), (R 23rd November 1307 - present)
 * Head of the Government: N/A
 * Government: Absolute Monarchy ruled by an Archduke. The title is Archduke of Westria, Last of the Romans. Our ruling dynasty is Hohenstaufen. We was the Emperor of the HRE until 1301
 * Demographics:
 * Population:
 * Wien: Population: 70,290
 * Konr: Population: 22,070
 * Rich: Population: 36,560
 * Polanum: Population: 22,110

 * Total population: 2,581,793
 * Religion: catholic christians (99%), others (1%)
 * Ethinicities: 98,4% Westrian, 1,6% others
 * Economy: We are based on agriculture and trade through the danube river and with most of the HRE. We use our own coins which resembles a lot those of the old Roman empire


 * Wars and conflicts: 
 * HRE-Deavite War:  9,500 spearmen, 3,000 Swordmen, 2,500 Bowmen, 3,000 Cavalry and 1,500 Crossbowmen are doing their best defending the frontlines against the incoming attack forces but we try not to push into enemy land which just would cost us uneccessary manpower. With our newly aquired knowledge about the new substance and created weapons from our experiments so called fire weapons, we try our best to use this to our advantage in the upcoming battles of course only people with good experience have to use them since they are quite dangerous weapons. With political chaos in our country in 1301 this put some confusion in our army but lucky our chief commander managed to handle it well enough so we wouldn't decay into a civil war and also because of shared fear against the Deavites who needs to be defeated.
 * Chief Commander: Rodrick von Hözendorf (B 1265 - still alive), (R 1296 - present)
 * Army: Total of
 * Spearmen: 10,890
 * Swordmen: 4,850
 * Bowmen: 3,890
 * Cavalry: 3,430
 * Crossbowmen: 3,510
 * Events:
 * Conscription and recruitment: We start to conscript and recruit more people to our army trying to increase it size to be able to fend hopefully easier against the incoming horde.
 * Slavokan and other kinds of refugees: We accept any incoming refugees.
 * Murder of an Emperor: On the 28th June Emperor Friedrich V Hohenstaufen was slain by the Deavites while fighting against them in the battle. It is said that during battle he and his cavalry got cornered and they desperetly tried to escape and he fell of his horse but his right foot got stuck on a stirrup and he was dragged on the ground while the horse fled in panic. He was never seen again. His body was found a few hours later.
 * Succession of an Emperor: Friedrich V Hohenstaufen only had daughters and since Westria followed male only succession (with a few exceptions) An Imperial Vicar took over as leader of the HRE temporarily. A crisis election was called on August the 1st 1301 for a new Emperor of the HRE. The lucky winner would be Vesnia this time no one really wanted Westria sine they themselfs didn't have any candidate.
 * Troubling times in Westria: After the election the Imperial Vicar resigned as leader of Westria. A regent called Hans von Hözendorf (uncle to the chief commander) would be chosen to take his place but he would die later in battle against the Deavites. Then a council just like the one that usde to be in Wien was formed in Bolzano, the council was the leader of the country until they found the right heir Paul I Hohenstaufen who was the cousin child of Emperor Friedrich. Paul I would later die because of poor health. The council took power again and this time gave it to the chief commander who there after led the country and the constant head of state switching ended. Instability was an major issue during the Death of the Emperor until the end of August. One reason for no major rebellions could be the fact the shared fear of the incoming Deavites and what they would do if they take over Westria. In 1307 Johannes V Hohenstaufen was crowned Archduke in Bolzano.
 * Diplomacy:

Li Dynasty:

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy
 * Emperor: Qie'ao, age 50 & Lian’ao, age 25 (1313)
 * Dynasty: Wu
 * Parliament: Nonexistent
 * Alliances: Part of the Mongolsphere


 * Economy: The Economy is mainly agriculture based, with industries such as silk farming, ceramics, paper making, and tea growing all being present. Zhuhai, Zhoushan and Fuzhou are all major trade centers, along with Xiangdu, Wuhan, and Chengdu in the interior.


 * Capital: Xiangdu


 * Administration: 13 different commanderies (Jun) governed by a Taishou (Great Administrator). Every Jun is divided into prefectures (Zhou), which in turn are divided into urban counties (Fu) and Rural counties (Xian). Most prefectures are only composed of 3-6 counties.

The Government is structured into a system of bureaus and offices, with the Emperor at the government’s head. The system is meritocratic, with exams determining which candidates are given which position. The military and the central government are not separated, with The Emperor at the head of both. The Emperor, or his senior commanders are to always lead campaigns, to ensure unity of command. The Cabinet is made of 12 Officials (they also serve as his advisers), who oversee their respective bureaus or offices. The Taishous are leaders, appointed by the Emperor, who also manage the militia and enforce government policies in their respective commanderies. A universal tax system, in which villages must submit 15% of their yields (in the form of the crops themselves or as money) to their commandery government. This is used to support the military and any infrastructural development.

 * Events:
 * Admiral Que Ziqi (2): Upon landing at Pemagarong, Que Ziqi realizes that Nagasato managed to rush Lutao in a mere 10 months. Not ready for a full invasion of Nagasato, and knowing that he’ll never get the permission to do so, he goes back to Tangbana. However, he was informed that he and Huang Ling (a general who assisted him in the attemped invasion) were exiled to Tangbana, with 1100 swordsmen, 8 troop transports, and 40 warships together. Huang Ling commits suicide, leaving Que Ziqi with all of his troops. To support himself, he and his troops raid Souhama and other locations in the area.
 * Xiazhang Shu: The Dagou Xianru Shu (大狗潜入述), or The Description of the Infiltration of Takao is written and published by Jiang Chi in Li in the year 1310. It heavily hints at a threesome between Souji Ojirou, Yatogami Kaguya, and Bulijin. Isn’t Jiang Chi supposed to be some holy person?
 * What’s this, a cannon?: Some person in Li decides to make a hand cannon where you load from a compartment in the side at the back, which is sealed with a weight, which allows the cannon to fire. This Cannon is longer than most other hand cannons, due to the space of the loading compartment. It is yet to be implemented.
 * Map Errors: Caiyi Town and Wuyecheng are not yet recognized on offical documents, this issue is to be resolved immediately. (Add cities on map please, I have a map of their locations)
 * Death of Emperor Qie’ao: Qie’ao dies of a disease which “sapped the energy out of his body” in 1313, at the age of 53.
 * Ascension of Lian’ao: Xie Lian, Qie’ao’s oldest nephew, ascends the throne (all of Qie’ao’s children are either dead or developmentally disabled). Shouts of Wudi Wansui (May my emperor live 10,000 years!) fill the Palace Square in Xiangdu. Some think that the throne should’ve went to Qie’ao’s developmentally disabled son, Wu Xuan. This issue is quickly resolved when Wu Xuan dies of disease.
 * Restrictions on trade: We make sure that our gunpowder innovations don't reach other powers,
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Pirate Time: Many of the sailors and soldiers in Tangbana raid locations across the South China sea, particuarly Souhama and Mei-nira during the winter months to support themselves. One raid even reached the island of Jeju, where they captured a fat Buryat warrior. Though he fought well, his tendency to betray everyone who he works allowed us no choice but to execute him. A Travelling Monk (or something) advised Que Ziqi to let the body rot in the form of a Sky Burial.
 * Invasion of the Spice Islands: With government support, Que Ziqi invades Minahasa with 105  warships, 7 troop transports, and 975 troops, before moving on to Ternate. However, due to Ternate’s geography, a land invasion is practically impossible, so our main goal is to destroy their navy, and then make them our vassal, giving us access to their resources.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Nagasato, Rinashima, and Senshu-koku: We have 1000 Soldiers willing to act as mercenaries, who wishes to buy some?
 * Nagasato: While we would like to have Pemagarong, We are unable to sustain the city, due to the withdrawl of support from Mainland Li. However, we would like to establish a area of the city where Li merchants in the area can stay, and a small area of the port for our ships, which we have special access to.
 * Rinashima: Que Ziqi accepts the request.

Kingdom of Lustria | 'The Eternal Kingdom of the Lizard Gods'

 * Government: Centralised tribal monarchy
 * Great Chief / Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods:
 * K'oroka ([F], b. 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246)
 * Moszar ([M], b. 1214, r. 1246-1258)
 * Urchannk ([M], b. 1230-1284, r. 1258-1284)
 * Azarkel ([F], b. 1255-1303, r. 1284-1303)
 * Oroku ([F], b. 1280, r. 1303-)
 * Urgoka ([F], b. 1302, heir)
 * Dynasty: Urchannkian (est. 1275)
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: For the former half of the 14th century, the Lustrian Kingdom has a stable economy that is continuing to thrive. Agriculture, trading and crafting (which has a larger percentage now) make up the components of the kingdom's own economy. This is especially true with the Amazon river system that allows rafts and trading canoes to be sent to the Tupi kingdoms and be sent back with other resources through bartering.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 20 800
 * Amekrog: 1 200
 * Osbme: 260
 * Koos'en: 150
 * Eztekol: 130
 * Sal'tcet: 90
 * Os'kel: 40
 * Gkor: 20
 * Oppoks'ren: 50
 * Yok: 40
 * Mur'lok: 110
 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 98% Lustrian folk religion, 2% Tupi folk religion
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 96% Lustrian, 4% Tupi
 * Military: A vaguely established and organised military is consolidated by the Grand Chief (or the 'Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods') Urchannk . Aside from the lizard warriors, where they are trained and sworn to secrecy about their methods and how they operate, the rest of the warriors in the Lustrian warrior caste have found themselves to become known as the Rainforest Warriors rather than being untitled and voluntary. 'Bowed Protectors' (as called in Lustrian) are the archers of the Lustrian military and have been separate from the Rainforest Warriors under Azarkel's reign over the kingdom. They are trained to make their shot as accurate as possible, hitting targets for hunting purposes and to fight enemies.
 * Army:
 * 80 'Lizard Warriors' (clubmen with wooden with 'sparsely metallic' shields)
 * 300 'Rainforest Warriors' (clubmen/spearmen)
 * 120 'Bowed Protectors' (archers)
 * 9 800 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters
 * Navy:
 * 320 canoes and rafts
 * 70 trading canoes
 * Diplomacy:
 * Tupi Tribes: Trading is encouraged for Lustrian civilians and tradesmen. It is to bring harmony to the Amazon rainforest.
 * Atlantis: A team of Lustrian scouts are sent to the north to find those cities and towns built by the 'white men' that do not even classify as a descendant of monkey or lizard. Maybe they were gods?
 * Events:
 * Goodbye, Azarkel: The current Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods, Azarkel died on 1303. At her reign, writing of the Lustrian script in pictograph has become more popular in the late 13th century after being in development since the earlier decades of the 13th century, despite that only the 1% can read and write. This was largely reserved for religious purposes, the lower Lustrian people are illiterate and do not understand them, even if these pictographs are just drawings that become language to them. The Lustrians during her reign also made trade with the Tupi tribes and this shows that even though the Lustrian creation myth disagreed with the "everyone else were monkeys and [Lustrians] were descendants of lizards", they still were beneficiary to harmony in the Amazon rainforest. Her daughter, Oroku would be made as the new Mortal Bearer in a ritual to Gezeok, the god of leadership.
 * Scouts to the North: The Lustrian Kingdom sends out scouts to the north, although they might not come back. There were rumours that these people were not the descendants of monkeys but were from somewhere else that they didn't even merit a warrant to be monkeys or lizards at all. Of course, most Lustrians don't know this. The Tupi may have encountered them as the white men from the north, this was spread to the Lustrian Kingdom too. These scouts won't survive for long, but if they find something from the north after years of expedition and came back, they have a long story to tell. (pls mod response; I am planning for a Lustrian messiah to come back as one of the scouts and probably try to reform the Lustrian religion)
 * Grand Shrine to Oshkam: Construction of the Grand Shrine to Oshkam, the creator of the known world and the creator of the Lustrian people continues in dedication to Azarkel's father and previous Mortal Bearer. It is expected to be finished by ~1310-20 CE at this rate.

Rinashima

 * Government: piratical/merchant republic (no real formal government process, the leader is essentially who's the "strongest")
 * Leader: Jotaro Kujo (b. ~1259, r.1287-)
 * Capital: Rinashima-kyo
 * Economy: Although some fishing and farming is praciticed, this is mainly only to feed the people. Rinashima's greatest source of income is piracy, trade (specifically trade seeking to avoid the Li port at Tangbana, and certain illicit trades) and piracy. Oh, did I mention piracy?
 * Demographics:

 * Military:
 * Army: pirate sailors double as assorted infantry
 * Navy: 20 "conventional" pirate ships, 1 junk, 794 pirate sailors
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Invasion of the Riau Islands: With our pirate navy, we set sail towards the Bruneian-controlled Riau Islands, in an attempt to take it to use as a springboard for raids in mainland Southeast Asia. Using 16 ships and 650-odd troops, we approach and strike in the dead of night, making sure to kill anyone who has the ability to inform the Bruneian court of our attack. Once taken, we, with the help of local bureaucrats (coerced by looted gold or, if that fails, by the katana), continue filing reports in the proper fashion to the Bruneian government, making them suspect absolutely nothing at all.
 * Other raids: Occasional raids and incursions into villages and towns in Mei-nira and Souhama occur, as well as a few beyond this region. Of note is a single small raid on a small coastal village in southern Lan Xang, marking the beginnings of Rinashiman incursions into mainland Southeast Asia.
 * Events:
 * Infrastructure Projects: Paths and the occasional paved road are carved out into the jungle, leading to every village on the island, and connecting them with each other, as well as to the main town of RInashima-kyo.
 * Town of Rinashima: WIth an influx of looted gold and illicit trade coming in through RInashima-kyo, Rinashima Harbor was overhauled, installing several new docks, as well as building more inns, shops, taverns, and brothels for the increasing amount of traders passing by.
 * Deal!: Hearing of Que Ziqi's exploits in Lutao, Jotaro and the Pirate Armada reach out to him and his troops, asking for a deal where both sides will protect each other in the event of outside attack, as well as help each other out in their separate endeavors.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Que Ziqi (Li): hey can we are do be am are have alliance?

Events & Great People

 * Horseman of Death V: The Daevite invasion of Isetium and Ahuric Empire fails due to shift of attention to Alagadda Azarkhate. During this decade, the Fall of Alagadda occurs, with the land being annexed to the Second Daevite Empire. Eteiszo Marko led Avarian forces to defend Khagansbyrg from the Daevite siege, however was defeated in battle and managed to retreat to Berlin. Despite his losses, he is recognised as one of the great warriors in Avaland. From Berlin he continue to devise strategies to take back his homeland. Emboldened by the Fall of Khagansbyrg, the Daevites managed to storm through the eastern HRE states, pushing Teuton, Wießel and Vesnian forces back to Köslin. Even Bavaria is not safe from the Horsemen of Death as the Crimson Horde edges closer to Munich.
 * The Man of Gold: Musa I ascends to the throne of Aoudaghost in 1312, with the intent to win the war in western Africa. In a brilliant stroke of genius, he appoints several experience generals, and perhaps legends say he led troops himself, on a campaign throughout the rest of the decade. The war ends within a few short years, with Audaghost annexing Harenaea and Songhai. Its ally Djenne would take the current land it occupies while Galatoi becomes a vassal state of Aoudaghost. This fills Aoudaghost's coffers greatly, with Musa I himself becoming one of the richest people of the world. Aoudaghost would be known as the Aoudaghostan Empire, if it wasn't one already.
 * Savior: 1312 has marked the death of the Holy Roman Emperor, the second to fall in battle against the Daevites. The first Emperor was slain in 1297. A delegation was called to Berlin to decide on the new ruler of the realm. The delegation argued for weeks, each presenting themselves with a new option every month. However, a woman of youthful appearance, wearing armor to what may seem golden, in her 30s stepped into the room. It was the wife of the previous late Emperor and daughter of the first slain one. Her real name is Aurelia Hohenstaufen, but she goes by a nontraditional name: Aurelia Aurora Augusta (Although just call her Empress Aurelia or Empress Augusta, but she prefers Aurelia). She was the daughter of Emperor Friedrich V of Hohenstaufen, a relative of the Westrian King. She was married to the new emperor, with a hastened majority vote from the delegation regardless of who agreed, elected a relative of the King from Vesnia; Sigmund Kaufmann. Her voice carried the room and she grew up fighting the Daevites, so with her experience, they agreed to elect her to Empress. She told them that she will save Europe from the scourge.
 * Horse Chiefs of the Midwest: As horses continue to spread throughout North America, many tribes have taken to the saddle, forming nomadic societies closely resembling that of the Mongol tribes. A few do still engage in agriculture, but some rely on a raider lifestyle to support their clans. Known as Horse Chiefs, analogous to the Khans and Khatuns, they will soon become feared throughout the continent for their speed, skill and ruthlessness.
 * Franglo-French War: The Franglish are forced on the retreat in the southern front again, where the Iberians and French push them back to Nantes, which is sieged. Verdun is taken by the Franglish and an attempt at the siege of Troyes is made, but it fails with reinforcements arriving to save the city. A second attempt eventually succeeds. A stalemate begins on the mainland front.
 * Eirish Unification War: A war begins with Frangleterre and Caledonia. Eire becomes a battleground between the two nations. Eirish loyalists to the Gaelic crown begin raids on the Pro-Franglish authorities of Franglish Eire. Soon after, war breaks out. Caledonian troops capture Durham and Caledonian forces push south towards Dublin in Eire. Frangleterre is weak grounds after fighting a four front war.
 * Broken Records: Alexandria, capital of Isetium becomes the largest city of the world, taking the lead from Hangzhou in Daevite China.
 * Ban on Alchemy: Pope John XXII erects the dioceses of Luçon, Maillezais and Tulle, and issues the decretal Spondent Pariter prohibiting alchemy, but not chemistry (which John himself had studied).

NPC Turns

 * Valcanor: They respond to Vesnia's calls for help, rerouting some troops to the eastern front away from the Franglo-French War
 * Huastec:' They decline.
 * Minahasa: They submit to Li as a vassal.

The Kingdom of Nagasato

 * Government: Monarchy
 * King: Muramasa I (reign: 1269 - present)
 * Born: 1241
 * Ruling House: Muramasa
 * Economy: The Nagasatoan Economy primarily consists of fishing, fruits, and precious metals and gems. The currency is based on copper and silver coins, though the poverish would work for food and shelter, which includes a good portion of the population, since most could barely make enough to feed one person as Muramasa came to the throne. That being said, with a potential war on the horizon, jobs begin to sprout up, as the poor begin to receive a chance at rising through the ranks.
 * Main Religion: Shintoism
 * Cities and Demographics:
 * Population: ~234,000
 * Notable Cities:
 * Nagasato City (Capital)
 * Location: Sarangani Bay
 * Nagasato is a city like no other in the Philippines. Carrying the heritage of generations long past, architecture of old is mixed amongst structures of new, with the sea to the south and jungles to the north.
 * Davao (Mining hub)
 * Location: Southern Mindanao
 * Davao was a city created to house the various workers that work in the mines located nearby, which provides for a good majority of the exports from Nagasato
 * Tsuhama
 * Location: Northern Mindanao
 * The location of the old Gambo-ji capital, Tsuhama remains as the stronghold for the province, acting as a "puppet state" of sorts for maintaining control over the region. Also functions similarly to Nagasato City, as trade from the northern Syonan and Japanese islands gets ferried into Tsuhama due to it's closer geographic location than the Nagasatoan cities further south.
 * Cagayan
 * Location: Northern Mindanao
 * Another port city captured during the Nagasatoan Unification of Mindanao. Due to its location, Cagayan is under modifications to becoming one of the hubs for the Nagasatoan navy, with numerous dockyards being produced for housing the growing fleet.
 * Pemagarong
 * Location: Western Mindanao
 * A main trading hub on the Southeast Asian trading route. As such, most, if not all trade funnels through the region, providing the residences of Pemagarong, and all of Nagasato as a whole, a huge source of income, as products and produce gets funneled both into and out of Nagasato as ships come to and from the port city on a daily basis.
 * Wars and Conflicts
 * Operation Chōyaku: The invasion of Souhama has begun. Landings are made on the southmost islands, specifically on the western half of Souhama (close to the capital). Invasion starts in spring of 1312.
 * Naval blockades of important cities such as Souhama are set into place, with the navy laying supporting fire for the army when needed.
 * Armed Forces
 * Army: 4-5%
 * Currently: 8,750
 * Deployed units: All
 * 390 Heavy Breakthrough Elite Infantry
 * 2,500 Light Infiltration Marines
 * 275 Light Archers
 * 535 Light Mixed Cavalry
 * 4,800 Naval personnel
 * Troops in-”reserve”:
 * 250 Homeland Security Infantry (Military Police)
 * Troops in-training: 2,950
 * 2,000 Naval personnel
 * 800 Light Infiltration Marines
 * 100 Heavy Infantry
 * 50 Light Mixed Cavalry
 * Note that most of the Nagasatoan civilians are also capable to defend themselves, though in most situations, will be outclassed by any well-trained army.
 * Navy: 156 Ships
 * 43 Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruisers
 * Crew: 50
 * 20 Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors
 * Crew: 40
 * 15 Retrofitted Oceanic Merchant Ships (Moderately sized pinisi’s)
 * Crew: 20
 * 23 Balangays (Lightly armed)
 * Crew: 12
 * 55 Retrofitted Paraws (Lightly armed)
 * Crew: 5
 * Research and Development:
 * Danger Pylons: More research and development is put towards the “aquatic rockets”. While progress is slow, there is enough potential to keep the product going.
 * “Rocket” Boats: As progress continues with the aquatic rockets, engineers begin developing a ship that can launch these rockets, taking Balangays and modifying them to be able to launch the aquatic rockets from sea, though many attempts result in the Balangays being flooded due to having a portion of the ship drooping down to almost the waterline, leading to the ship’s sinking.
 * Kulog Taihou MkIIb: An interwar modification that slightly improves build quality of the hand cannon as more research is poured into development of better versions of the Kulog Taihou.
 * Reptilian Growth: Continued breeding of the filipino monitor lizard has caused the species to grow in size, through decades, if not centuries will be required for the lizards to grow even larger.
 * Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptor: Small improvements are developed in response to the results and lessons learned from the island-hopping campaign, mainly to improve the handling of the vessels, as some of the vessels almost capsize when making tight turns, in addition to an additional hand cannon to the broadside (8 in total, 4 per side).
 * Crew: 40
 * Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruiser: More improvements are made, now giving them a broadside of 10 hand cannons (20 in total), as well as slightly more armor all around.
 * Crew: 50
 * RNFS Yamamoto: An experimental ship derived from the Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruiser is produced as the flagship of the Nagasatoan fleet. Slightly larger than the cruisers the Yamamoto is based on, the Nagasatoan flagship carries the largest broadside within the Nagasatoan navy of 12 hand cannons (24 in total), as well as an additional trebuchet located on the stern of the ship. Though not as maneuverable or quick as the rest of the fleet, the firepower alone sends shivers down those within Yamamoto’s range.
 * Production:
 * 1 Yamamoto-class Oceanic Cruiser
 * 4 Pagong-kai-class Oceanic Cruisers
 * 15 Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors
 * 40 Balangays
 * 40 Oceanic Transport Vessels
 * Diplomacy:
 * Li: Nagasato allows the Li Dynasty to set up shop in a portion of the port city of Permagarong. Though a small tax is placed on the city, it is almost negligible amount; just enough to pay for maintenance purposes of the city and not for profit.
 * Tl;dr: Nagasato takes Li up on its request, allowing Li merchants to set up shop within a district of Permagarong
 * Souhama: A year prior to the invasion, Nagasatoan diplomats are sent to Souhama with a proposal to merge the two nations together against the threat of Daevite invasion. Of course, Nagasatoan diplomats also doubt that they’d get anywhere with this, but it’s the thought that counts.
 * Events:
 * Island Hopping: Nagasatoan troops land on the three western islands of Souhama (closest to Nagasato), with the main bridgehead being a force heading straight for the capital of Souhama. Predictions are made that the conflict, like the unification of Mindanao, will last a while, so the Nagasatoan forces take their time with their assault, plans more graceful than the brute-force approach taken decades prior. 
 * Imperial Succession: With Muramasa aware of his time growing short, he names his successor, his son, Muramasa II Heihachirō (Born 1293) being named as his successor.
 * Ojirou-files: Ojirou Souji is a Syonan-Japanese warrior from a clan located in Mindanao, having relocated to the Syonan island chain shortly after Japan collapsed into the warring states it is today. Though she is called (along with her elite infiltration unit) when required, she spends most of her time back at home, either training or spending time with her family, including her husband and three children (two girls and a guy) by 1291. Despite living a fulfilling life, her gaze still lies towards the Asian mainland, the thought of her strongest opponent still engaged in endless combat.

Kingdom of Lustria | 'The Eternal Kingdom of the Lizard Gods'

 * Government: Centralised tribal monarchy
 * Great Chief / Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods:
 * K'oroka ([F], b. 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246)
 * Moszar ([M], b. 1214, r. 1246-1258)
 * Urchannk ([M], b. 1230-1284, r. 1258-1284)
 * Azarkel ([F], b. 1255-1303, r. 1284-1303)
 * Oroku ([F], b. 1280, r. 1303-)
 * Urgoka ([F], b. 1302, heir)
 * Dynasty: Urchannkian (est. 1275)
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: For the former half of the 14th century, the Lustrian Kingdom has a stable economy that is continuing to thrive. Agriculture, trading and crafting (which has a larger percentage now) make up the components of the kingdom's own economy. This is especially true with the Amazon river system that allows rafts and trading canoes to be sent to the Tupi kingdoms and be sent back with other resources through bartering. On 1317, the Atlanteans and Lustrians met by the coast of the Guyana, trading goods and things that the Lustrians have never seen before. This is about to bring huge economic growth and prosperity, especially with the innovation of the sail and some new seeds that were totally unknown to the Lustrian people and the Amazon at the time too.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 29 400
 * Amekrog: 1 700
 * Osbme: 450
 * Koos'en: 190
 * Eztekol: 200
 * Sal'tcet: 120
 * Os'kel: 80
 * Gkor: 60
 * Oppoks'ren: 90
 * Yok: 30
 * Mur'lok: 230
 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 97.5% Lustrian folk religion, 1.5% Tupi folk religion, 1% Krokanist (a 'reformed' Lustrian religion with a more centralised belief system)
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 97% Lustrian, 3% Tupi
 * Military: A slightly more organised military is being put underway in the former half of the 14th century. Aside from the lizard warriors, where they are trained and sworn to secrecy about their methods and how they operate, the rest of the warriors in the Lustrian warrior caste have found themselves to become known as the Rainforest Warriors rather than being untitled and voluntary. 'Bowed Protectors' (as called in Lustrian) are the archers of the Lustrian military and have been separate from the Rainforest Warriors under Azarkel's reign over the kingdom. They are trained to make their shot as accurate as possible, hitting targets for hunting purposes and to fight enemies.
 * Army:
 * 85 'Lizard Warriors' (clubmen with wooden with 'sparsely metallic' shields)
 * 380 'Rainforest Warriors' (clubmen/spearmen)
 * 110 'Bowed Protectors' (archers)
 * 12 800 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters
 * Navy:
 * 310 canoes and rafts
 * 3 'sailships'
 * 80 trading canoes
 * Diplomacy:
 * Tupi Tribes: Trade is slowly being reduced under Oroku. This does raise some suspicion though.
 * Atlantis: More scout expeditions are sent to the north, although there's few boats that were sent there too to contact the Atlanteans, all from the advice of a blessed man who claims to have seen everything and wished to seek reform and modernisation of the kingdom.
 * Events:
 * A Blessed Man from the Scouts: After a good exchange with the Atlanteans, where they travelled by ship on their triremes, the Lustrian people sighted them and yelled them back. Out of the few Lustrian scouts that the Mortal Bearer has sent, only six of them would survive back due to diseases and attrition that they had to face when they're making an expedition to the north. They traded some Lustrian goods, some of which intrigued the Atlanteans. The Lustrians acquired some information and secrets in exchange, they had to give up their secrets and cultural history about their own people. These technologies and concepts included: how to make sails (or at least the basic form) and the concept of a 'currency' (in forms of metallic coins) and that's probably it. The six that came back was headed by a head scout named Rhok'sk (b. 1284) and he felt that there was so much that the Lustrian people could've done and do by interacting with Atlantis. Not to mention, he learnt a little bit of their religion and wanted to reform the religion in a way that makes the Lustrian folk religion more centralised with a set of pantheon of gods to follow instead of local deities scattered around the distance.
 * Religious Reform: Just like the Romans (unaware by the Lustrians), Rhok'sk tried to borrow Hellenistic elements into this so-called reformed Lustrian folk religion. He called it the Krokanic belief system and named after Kroak, an amphibian-lizard hybrid god that is the god of sleep, time and prophecies, Rhok'sk believed that he was chosen by Kroak because he knew that the prophecy of white people who weren't "lizards or monkeys" have come to change the Lustrian Kingdom and their surroundings for good. Initially this was believed by a few, but by the end of the 1310s, with the word of Rhok'sk, he would spread it to 1% of the Lustrian people (~294), mostly in the towns of the Amazon river delta.
 * Trade with the North: Trade is being encouraged to the north instead. Rhok'sk convinced the Mortal Bearer on 1318 that going to the north means there's bound to be "great things". Sailships are being built for the first time, although not the same material, they were experimented by the wind of the ocean at the time, to determine its success. For now, larger canoes, which are meant for trade, is being used to navigate to (OTL Guyana) to trade with Atlanteans. There were concerns about Tupi locals being disenfranchised, as trade declines with them slightly. It remains the most popular option for most merchants but soon, a new trade route could exist as the Lustrian Kingdom makes its way to the north through slow expansion outside of their own people's boundaries.
 * Modernisers and the Traditionalists: By the end of the 1310s, west and east Lustria were slowly coming into place: Khornko'r (the western part of Lustria, much more traditional) and Amekrogia (the eastern part of Lustria, includes the Amazon river delta and is in favour of trading with Atlanteans). This could shape the fate of Lustria in the future.
 * Grand Shrine to Oshkam: The Grand Shrine to Oshkam is complete on 1318 by hand. It stands around 45 metres tall and is eerily similar to the pyramids of the Maya civilisation.

Rinashima

 * Government: piratical/merchant republic
 * Grand Admiral: Jotaro Kujo (b. ~1259, r.1287-)
 * Capital: Rinashima-kyo
 * Economy: Although some fishing and farming is praciticed, this is mainly only to feed the people. Rinashima's greatest source of income is piracy, trade (specifically trade seeking to avoid the Li port at Tangbana, and certain illicit trades) and piracy. Oh, did I mention piracy?
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 10,140
 * Rinashima-kyo: 900
 * Religion:  3% Syonanese Shintoism, 1% Buddhism, 36% Hinduism, 57% native Malay religions, 3% other
 * Ethnicity: 3% Syonanese, 87% Malay, 6% Parawan-hito (Cuyonon), 4% other (several Filipino ethnic groups, Han Chinese, etc.)
 * Military:
 * Army: pirate sailors double as assorted infantry
 * Navy: 23 "conventional" pirate ships, 1 junk, 874 pirate sailors
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Sack of Temasek: Rinashima's naval and general piratical might would be concentrated on the nation of Temasek around this time. The entire Rinashiman pirate fleet, as well as some young adventurous men from the outer villages on Rinashima and the Riau Islands, would embark on this adventure. The Pirate Army would storm the island and city of Singapura in the dead of night. Half of the army would land on secluded corners of the island by sundown, first rampaging around and setting fire to the outlying farmland and small towns, while carting any food and gold they could find and using the townsfolk as human shields against any Temasek troops. Meanwhile, the general fleet itself, along with the best pirates of Rinashima, would enter the port district and proceed as any normal merchant ship would, allaying suspicions among city dwellers. By midnight, the first contingent was expected to be at the walls of Singapura city, and the second contingent was expected to have secured their position. Now, all hell would break loose. As pirates flooded into Singapura from all directions, houses and other merchant ships would be looted and set on fire, the women would be defiled, and many would lose much of their life possesions to the pirates of Rinashima.
 * Events:
 * Consolidating Riau: Riau is a territory we ground into our fold by the sword. Its population is quadruple that of Rinashima itself, and it is a territory we must be finicky with. Firstly, except of creating the 23 Captaincies (detailed below), we leave the people of Riau to govern themselves, even lowering the taxes far below what Brunei demanded ("Why do we need to extort our peasants when we can extort far richer cities that aren't even under our control for far more than we could get from them?"). We also remodel the largest city in the area, Ranai, building several docks for our navy, as well as sponsoring the growth of local businesses (mainly because we pirates want places to get drunk), and building roads to outlying villages.
 * The Code of Rinashima: Due to complaints about loot distribution and normal non-pirate villagers complaining about the rare but sometimes occuring pirate raid on their village, Jotaro would pen and announce the Code of Rinashima, officially establishing governmental procedures and an official code of law. The Code of Rinashima divided up Rinashima Island and the Riau Archipelago into 23 captaincies (based on the 23 ships in the Pirate Fleet), each having their own slice of both Rinashima Island and the Riau Islands (this would effectively translate into 46 de facto captaincies, as many captains would set up shop on one island and appoint their first mates, best friends, or other capable and trusted individuals to their territory on the other island), and led by the captain of each ship. It also established that murdering, intentionally injuring, and stealing from another pirate without prior justification (i.e revenge killings) would be punishable by death via keelhauling, with this specific law stating that "All pirates are family. Killing or stealing from another pirate would be like killing or stealing from your family". It also established the leadership position (the Grand Admiral)'s parameters. The Grand Admiral would be elected by all the pirates upon the descension of the previous Grand Admiral, and the Grand Admiral could only be removed by a) death, b) resignation, c) impeachment (again handled by direct democracy). The Code of Rinashima would essentially become the iron-clad "Constitution of Asian Piracy", and the practice of direct democracy, the captainship system, and Rinashiman pirate law would endure into pirate groups of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds all across the East.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Lan Xang: Fine, take the stuff we looted from you back, we have other matters to attend to anyways.

Kingdom of Vesnia

 * Government: Feudal Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Dietmar II (B 1269, alive) (R 1287 - Present)
 * Ruling House: House of Vesnia (House of Kaufmann)
 * Economy: The Vesnian economy is in peril due to current times of war. The economy is based on trade mostly as well as fishing and lumber. Gold coin currency is used in the realm. Vesnia is influenced by the overall economy of the Holy Roman Empire, of which it is a member. A special trade agreement between Vesnia and Svearike and Vesnia and Danemark has been implemented.
 * Allies: Svearike, Vestkyst, Danemark (personal), HRE members (de facto).
 * Capital: Burgenbrao
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ~1 100 000
 * Burgenbrao: 87 000
 * Köslin: 48 000
 * Raustadt: 9 000
 * Heineg: 3 500
 * Schneidemühl: ca 2 000 (occupied)
 * Rural areas (AKA everything else): ~943 000
 * Ethnicities: 95% Vesnian, 4% Prussian, 1% Slavokan
 * Religion: 97% Catholic Christian, 3% Orthodox Christian
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * HRE-Daevite War: The Heineg Plan starts to be enacted while soldiers do their best to hold off the Daevites as much as possible, taking advantage of our gunpowder weapons to the fullest extent. Once the Daevites get to the Burgenbrao, if they do, the Heineg Plan will fully be enacted.
 * Military: Total of 13 000 soldiers under the Royal army (approximately 1% of pop) as well as troops levied from vassals totaling around 15 000. (not necessarily true right now due to casualties but fuckin hell I can't be bothered to calculate it all)
 * Deployed units: All
 * 4 200 infantry
 * 3 150 pikemen
 * 4 125 archers
 * 1 000 sword cavalry
 * 525 lancers
 * 15 000 levied soldiers
 * Navy:
 * 25 transport ships
 * 11 galleys
 * Diplomacy:
 * Svearike, Venice and Naples: HELLLLP!!!
 * Events:
 * Heineg Plan: Several persons of importance as well as citizens will be evacuated to Heineg. The army will attempt to hold and slowly retreat to behind the Oder river forts and so will the House of Kaufmann and the king's vassals, they will be moved to Raustadt which will thus be the de facto capital. Assuming the Daevites would continue, the army will hold for as long as possible, if the line is penetrated, as many people as possible (and obviously the king and all those royal peeps) will be sent to Heineg.
 * All Hope Is Gone: We've seen the fall of the elite, bury your life, take your disease. We'll end the world, when All Hope is Gone. Despite the HRE's best efforts, spanning several decades, Avaland, Wiessel, the state of the Teutonic Order (not HRE but an ally), Bohemia and Lusatien have been lost, with the center of the empire Vienna taken, Korona close to falling and important cities within the HRE like Munich, Berlin and Köslin not being far from being sieged. Not much hope for any positive end to this exists in the hearts of the people, the soldiers and the nobles.
 * The Prince is Dead: Prince Albrekt made a treacherous journey to Rome to attempt to get the Pope to make peace between France and Frangleterre so they could focus their attention to the east, but this failed. Travelling back to Vesnia, he mysteriously died in Munich. Some believe he was struck by an arrow from approaching Daevite hordes, others think he was so depressed and stressed over the war that engulfed not only the HRE but his life as well and so he stopped in Munich and committed suicide and others believe he had an unfortunate horse accident that he suffered fatal injuries from. Nevertheless this means Dietmar II has no legal heir and Queen Consort Marie has reached menopause. Desperate, the royal couple decide to overrule the laws of succession and also societal norms and name 21-year old Princess Agnes as heir to the Vesnian throne.
 * Full Throttle: As many resources as we have are put into use for this war, to defend our lands to the best of our ability. Not literally everything is used, as if it goes to hell the populace could start starving which would worsen the situation. We need to buy as much time as possible for this grand conflict.

Li Dynasty
Government: Absolute Monarchy Economy: The Economy is mainly agriculture based, with industries such as silk farming, ceramics, paper making, and tea growing all being present. Zhuhai, Zhoushan and Fuzhou are all major trade centers, along with Xiangdu, Wuhan, and Chengdu in the interior.
 * Emperor:  Lian’ao, age 32
 * Dynasty: Wu
 * Parliament: Nonexistent
 * Alliances: Part of the daevo

Capital: Xiangdu

Administration: 13 different commanderies (Jun) governed by a Taishou (Great Administrator). Every Jun is divided into prefectures (Zhou), which in turn are divided into urban counties (Fu) and Rural counties (Xian). Most prefectures are only composed of 3-6 counties.

The Government is structured into a system of bureaus and offices, with the Emperor at the government’s head. The system is meritocratic, with exams determining which candidates are given which position. The military and the central government are not separated, with The Emperor at the head of both. The Emperor, or his senior commanders are to always lead campaigns, to ensure unity of command. The Cabinet is made of 12 Officials (they also serve as his advisers), who oversee their respective bureaus or offices. The Taishous are leaders, appointed by the Emperor, who also manage the militia and enforce government policies in their respective commanderies. A universal tax system, in which villages must submit 15% of their yields (in the form of the crops themselves or as money) to their commandery government. This is used to support the military and any infrastructural development.

Que Ziqi’s military: Minahasa Military: 1200 (2%) Ternate Military: 1360 (2%) Events: Wars and Conflicts: Diplomacy:
 * Navy: 1,275 Ships
 * 350 ships  (Yangtze River Defense Force)
 * 435 Ships (Nanhai Fleet)
 * 435 Ships (Donghai Fleet)
 * 25 Large Chinese junks (40-50 meters)
 * 25 2-3 masted Indonesian Djongs (20 meters)
 * 6 Troop Transports
 * 620 Swordsmen and dudes with Polearms (Function as reserves)
 * 560 Fire Archers (on ships)
 * 1000 Sailors
 * 40 Djongs
 * 800 Sailors
 * 400 Warriors
 * 50 Djongs
 * 950 Sailors
 * 410 Warriors
 * Naval Innovation: Though we won against Ternate, the war highlighted a major problem in our navy. Our ships are hard to maneuver, which is a great disadvantage. Due to this, Que Ziqi replaces 15 of our Junks with Indonesian Djongs, which are swifter and more agile. They also have Lug Sails, allowing them to sail against the wind more easily. One junk in the Donghai fleet carries 2 Changpao (Breechloading guns detailed last turn). Que Ziqi arms his junks with trebuchets and hand cannons (if they weren’t already), making them slightly slower, but the firepower makes up for that.
 * Chinese Diaspora: A drought in eastern Fujian and parts of Guangdong results in close to 10,000 people leaving the area, and venturing off to Ternate, Tangbana, Senshu-koku and Minahasa, pursuing jobs in spice growing, rice farming, and trading spices.
 * Consolidating the Thousand Islands: To ensure our continual influence in Indonesia, we make sure to govern lightly, doing little in Ternate and Minahasa’s internal affairs. Meanwhile, a few islands inhabited by the Java people directly south of Nunusaku are settled, for the Balinese Long Peper there. These islands will be consolidated into the nation of Zhaowa, which be ruled by a governer and have a modified version of the Li judicial system and code of laws. It’ll be self-governing, though much less politically independent than our other vassals. (Wait this is a dependency at this point)
 * The Spice must flow: If Nunusaku doesn’t become our vassal, we send 25 Junks, and 70 Djongs (some levied from our vassals) to wipe out their navy. Our goal is to try to destroy their ships from afar with our fire arrows. Once that is finished, we send 300 Li soldiers and 200 Minahasan and Ternate warriors to eliminate their leadership. Assuming we conquer the island, then it is to be ruled by 2 Li governers for each island. Nunusaku and Ternate will be fused into one polity, called Halmahera.
 * Nunusaku: Become our vassal, or you shall face the consequences.
 * Lan Xang: We accept, also look at these things we found in Indonesia!

Events & Great People

 * Franglo-French War: The Iberians capture Rennes and help the French recapture Limoges. They also conquer Brest and it becomes a Leonese vassal state. The Iberians then make peace with Frangleterre, wanting to prepare for a new possible war against Mauretania and Andalousia, and any more bloodshed would leave them too vulnerable. Caledonian forces capture York and Manchester. They sack Nottingham and Birmingham, but don't attempt to hold the cities yet. Liverpool is also captured. France still struggles with the war, after losing battle after battle. Marseille becomes the temporary capital after the loss of Troyes. The Battle of Dijon occurs in 1328, where the French beat back the Franglish with a new commander, Bastien Pelissier, who defeats the Franglish series of successes in France. The French aren't yet able to push back the Franglish, but they capture rural lands back and prepare for a siege of Troyes and Orleans.
 * Blood, Beer and Beards in the New World III: The Vikingar gathers again, eyes set on the grand prize, of Elysiapolis. Having obtained maps, the grand fleet of 160 longships sail far from the shore, avoiding being spotted by the Elysians. They disembark in Croatan, plundering and replenishing there. After the short stop, they sail to Elysiapolis from the south, surprising the Elysians, raiding villages on the shores until reaching Elysiapolis itself, where they break the city walls and enter the city, sacking it. The city is tough, so the inner city is saved from the raid, but the outer city and the treasury are breached and raided. The Vikingar leave the city with ships overloaded with riches and slaves. On their way back north, they're faced by the Elysian navy, which they sink, but lose many ships themselves, with only 98 ships managing it back to Falaichvikþorp
 * Período Machitikón Kratón: Despite Atlantis dominant society and thinking, their expansion had outpaced their population growth, stretching their supply lines. Raids by neighboring native kingdoms and the rise of Greek pirates has cause the state to have trouble connecting themselves to each island. Not to mention, many noble and powerful families vied for power as they all had different ideas for Atlantis on the new world. Slowly, but surely, Atlantis falls into a period called "Machitikón Kratón", or period of militant states (roughly translates to a "Warring States Period". Many powerful families gained enough power for each islands to become independent from the rest of each other, such examples like Komnenos or Palaiologos controls their own territory. Greek bases in modern Cuba, Bahamas, and Jamaica saw themselves almost completely cut off in terms of diplomatic cooperation with their eastern counterparts. Those territories soon becomes rogue states or pirate states, seeing themselves turn to piracy.
 * The Chapter of the Sands: After the collapse of Songhai, the Aresian loyalists either flee to Mauretania, stay and are forced to convert or go into hiding. Those in positions of power, who officially renounced Ares and some of who went to hiding form the Chapter of the Sands, which is a secret council and meeting house for those who still believe in Ares and are willing to bring Western Africa under his rule. The Chapter quickly becomes a club for the elites in occupied Songhai, with members from Gao to Koumbi.
 * Discordance in the East: Many partisan groups begin to grow in China and India. Daevite officials face harsher crowds, with locals beginning to despise them. Nothing as harsh as in Europe occurs, but dissent grows and underground movements become very attractive to young Asians. A few revolts have already begun in India and Korea.
 * Sacking of Munich: Before the Daevites were expelled from Bavaria entirely, they laid waste to the city of Munich, with some actively seeking to finish the Slavokan genocide by hunting down anyone identified to be "Slavokan", as well as the burning of every book, sign and piece of paper with Cyrillic script. It is thought that even after the expulsion of the Daevites the amount of influence the Cyrillic script enjoyed would never recover in Western Europe, with the sacking of Munich being the last instance the script would be used in a Catholic kingdom. The Slavokan population did not fare as badly, with a significant amount of their population fleeing elsewhere into Western Europe and away from the frontlines of the HRE.
 * Back In Control:' Quanah manages to lead Croatan to victory against his usurper in the Kingdom of Elysia, and eventually unites the two kingdoms. His success is largely attributed to the Inquisition imposed by the usurper king, despite both kingdoms being weakened by Vinlander raids. Refugees from the Atlantean civil war also make their way north, providing Elysia with a boost of technology and skill. As a son of both native Olympians and Greeks, Quanah manages to convince neighbouring tribes to join his kingdom for prosperity.

NPC Turns

Such an alliance will be beneficial for both of us and will last for at least fifty years.

 * Spreading trade like a plague: the trade unions of the Judaist Merchants are spreading outside the lands of Vedena, mostly in the major cities of Inkeri and the Daevite Empire, competing with the local traders.

 * (Vedenian art: artists of Vedena explore new topics, style, and ideas. The formerly "Roman art" has "expired" and is considered as quite stale for many. Instead, it has become new tendency to mix the different (or even the opposites) in a single work of art; The most common style is combining local pagan and ancient aesthetics, bringing new shapes and images the World has never seen.) see:
 * Crimson generation: the Daevite flood transformed the styles of art entirely. The dark topics such as death, dread, and violence and cruelty. The formerly vivid colour palette has been replaced with a darker and creepier one. What's more, crimson has become dominant in art.
 * New times: We are all Vedenians. No matter where you have been born - in Lutsk, Volodymyr, L'viv or Young Volyn' (Young Volyn' is the name of brand-new acquired territory whereas Old Volyn' is Vedena) - you are still a part of us, Vedenians. We may not share common language, religion, but we share a common idea - the idea of originality and respecting traditions. This is what we have in common. It is time to rise up and destroy the enemies of our identity and shared ideas.
 * Tensions in the Council: It is been long since the tensions occurred yet no factions has done anything to shake up the dominance of Christian Merchants. People lose hope in the ones who promised different times and it seems that there are not going to be any major authority shifts in the Council.
