Events & Great People

 * Horseman of War - Coda: Throughout her reign, Khatun Ogejin had styled her daughter as heir to the Mongol Empire, drawing the envy of her brothers. One misty morning, she sets off on a hunting trip with some companions and attendants a few kilometres away from Karakorum. Within a few days one of the aids comes limping back mumbling incoherently with a face whiter than milk. He only spoke of death and demons as search parties were sent out to find the heir of the Mongol Empire. They found her before decomposition set in, just in time to see the other members of the hunting party in pieces around a circle forming none other than a Daevite prayer circle, with the intestines of horses substituted with the intestines of Ogejin's daughter. After a period of grief, Ogejin immediately started interrogating her brother Chagatai, who was of Daevite descent through his mother and was most vocal about his claim to the throne of all and any Altaic Empires such as the Mongol Empire. Ogejin did not manage to speak with Chagatai, as bloody marionettes held up in vile display by tendons and sinew in a yurt tend to be mute. Chagatai was assumed dead, but not before being found guilty of conspiring with Daevite priestesses to murder Ogejin's daughter. The yurt was later set alight with the body inside, and nothing was spoken of this ordeal.
 * Ghost Khan: Since the death of her daughter and assumed death of her guilty brother, Ogejin found herself gripped by nightly terrors that became all the more realistic. Dementia began to set in as she would sometimes see her daughter or brother in their mangled states in dark corners at night. Her roster of attendants frequently changed as she began to be distrustful of almost anyone. Alarming still, the glowing ghost of Chagatai would sometimes be seen roaming the nocturnal steppes, illuminated by ethereal blue-green smoke, but no attempts were made to follow it out of fear. On the night of her death, Ogejin screamed at the ghost as it galloped on the plains far away from her window before abruptly dying from a stroke. Jochi, fully aware of what happened, had not expected this turn of events. After the death of his sister, he would be Khan. The ghost of Chagatai stopped appearing after his ascension for the most part, as rumours still floated around his court. Exactly 72 days after his ascension, an inauspicious number as it had became to be known, his food was tainted with psychoactive drugs by what is now believed to have been a Daevite operative within his court. As Jochi fell under influence of the drug, the "ghost" of Chagatai entered the court shrouded in his signature blue-green smoke, revealed to be newly developed long-burning signal smoke canisters loaded with copper acetate. Chagatai declared a duel to which the intoxicated Jochi mumbled an indiscernible reply. Chagatai easily slew his brother and took his head out for all to see. He later became the Khan of the newly formed Daevite Empire, in gratitude to his Daevite brethren that assisted in murdering his niece, faking his death, psychologically destabilising his sister and drugging his brother. Thus, Chagatai becomes the Khan of the Daevite Empire, the Ghost Khan, Horseman of Death.
 * Global Cooling: The globe becomes colder by each winter and devastates the agriculture of northern states. Greenland is becoming too inhospitable to the liking of the Snaellanders and many villages are abanded and people either flee to the mystical land of Vinland or back home to Snaelland. Ships that sailed to the west become fewer and fewer. Supply lines from Europe to Vinland are cut. Vestkyster and Svean agriculture suffers several poor harvests and famine grows. Roughly 1% die to the loss of crops. Transatlantic voyages cease by 1256.
 * The Red 13th Century: Historians begin to see this era of history as one of the most brutal parts of history, as the Mongol wars rage on in Asia and the dozens of other conflicts in Europe and Africa impact the lives of ordinary people. Some scholars begin to think that the end times are near, fearing that this might be one of the signs of the second coming of Christ. This impacts literature and the mindset of people. Books tell stories of guilt and repentance and redemption. Art centers around death and war and it's heroic or grim nature. Others despise war and others think of it as heroic.
 * Åke Ymirsson: The Svartheimian author writes the book "The Perils of Einarr" a book about the story of a warrior named Einarr who fights the Daevites and sees his home and family ravaged by their horde. He is captured, where in his cell he yells out to God and has a long monologue aimed to him about the problem of pain and suffering. He spends years in cell while the war rages on. He finally escapes and kills several Daevites, including a high ranking general. He becomes convinced God had a plan for him through his suffering, just like Job. He then flees to his scorched homestead where he finds his family's corpses. He weeps for them, until a search party finds him and kills him. The book is a dramatization of the actual events known to happen by Svartheimian and Daevite historians, but with tons of speculation and masterful wording and deployment of emotions. The Svartheimians will soon find out the magnitude of events that occured first-hand when the descendants of the first Daevite Empire come knocking.
 * The Reconquista Part II: The Christian states of Castile, Leon and Valencia are aided by Valcanorese and HRE forces. Murcia and rural lands surrounding it are captured by the christians and the kingdom of Valencia is annexed to Valcanor. Ferdinand III had finally reunited the ancient capitals of Valencia and Carcalonar, thinking of this as a God given right and destiny to recreate the kingdom of true Valcanor. Leonese forces aided by several other troops capture Oujedo and Leon. The Vestkyster forces capture Portucale for two months but are then driven back to their ships and to Donos. Castile gains more of the Kastilli held Northwest, but are invaded by Andalousia, which begins to bring a halt to the rapid success of the reconquista, beating the attempted invasion of Cordoba.
 * Sun against the Blade: Mauretania reclaims Kalapolis and Orrato, killing the bulk of the Atlasioi stuck there. Some are able to flee through ships back to Atlasium. Most who are left are sacrificed in battle. Atlas, having to divert it's attention to 3 fronts begins to stagger, but is able to recapture Ilysium. Dozens of battles are fought around Ilysium in this decade.
 * Opus Majus: Roger Bacon. The most important work of Roger Bacon. It was written in Medieval Latin, at the request of Pope Clement IV, to explain the work that Bacon had undertaken. The 840-page treatise ranges over all aspects of natural science, from grammar and logic to mathematics, physics, and philosophy. The Opus also contains a review of alchemy and the manufacturing of gunpowder. Some nobles become intrigued by this gunpowder and a silent campaign to acquire this new matter becomes urgent in the Papacy.
 * The Order of the Ashes: A secret order forms in Avaland and Wießel. A group of radicals who want to bring justice to the murdered Avars by Prussians begin to amass a following. They seek out children and relatives or the people in charge or part of the genocide and torture them, and finally killing them in brutal ways. Fear begins to breed amidst the Prussians.
 * Risshō Ankokuron: The Risshō Ankokuron, a Buddhist treatise is written by the Buddhist monk Nichiren in 1260. Nichiren presented it as a petition to the Yamato Shogunate in Kyoto and the Tachibana clan in Kamakura, but was ignored and led to multiple persecutions of the monk and his followers. Among other things, it predicts foreign invasion of the Shogunate, a prophecy that may be fulfilled by the new Daevite Empire.
 * Man of Medang III: Srivijaya is pushed back to its home island of Sumatra by Medan, Temasek and Majapahit. Padang, Jambi and Palemba are taken by the former states respectively.

NPC Turns

 * Lao: They make peace with Dai Viet, annexing swathes of territory and making Dai Viet a tributary state of the Daevite Empire. Land is ceded to Li for their efforts, and all land occupied by them as well as some remaining Cantonese regions were given. The war with Chenla continues, with the additional motivation of making the borders look less shit.
 * Vestkyst: They agree to take Danemark as a junior partner in a personal union. The affairs of the Danish kingdom are now overseen by Vestkyst and will more or less decide the future of Danemark.
 * Mongol Empire: Before Chagatai ascended as Khan, Kiev was defeated and annexed into the Empire along with the vassal of Gothia, and was in the process of invading Yilou.
 * Incan Empire: They collapse into a multitude of new kingdoms, with the old ruling dynasty fleeing to Chacharuil-smu.
 * Tlaxcala: They conquer Coahuilteca. They ally with Huastec and assassinations are performed in the Chichimec kingdom, asserting a puppet ruler there, vassalizing Chichimec.
 * Tarascan: They annex Tlapanec and bring an ultimatum to Mixtec, which they bow to, making them allies. Colima also becomes an ally.
 * Cyrenai: They capture most of the rural lands in the eastern reach if Atlas and form the kingdom of Cyrenai. Peace is made between the two nations.
 * Inkeri: They accept the proposal, but are hesitant first, thinking of how to house the 200 000 people. The King finally proposes for the people to bring as much food and resources with them as possible and for the state of Vesnia to also provide support in the mass exodus. Two cities are to be built in the southwest corner of Inkeri to become the province for the Vesnians. Vesnankylä is founded near the border of Courland and Lukinlinna (OTL Velikiye Luki). Also the city of Peipsinpohja (Pskov) is founded, with the goal of bringing the ex-vesnians and Inkerians closer together. Education of the Finnic language is given to the Vesnians and aid from experts from various skills to help them adapt and become part of Inkeri and it's culture. The aim is to Inkerify the settlers in the long run.
 * Songhai: Their holy war rages on as they capture more of rural Timbuktu, now almost bordering the two last major cities.
 * Nicaea: In a conflict against Epirus, they captured Macedonia, Thessaly, and Athens. In addition, they pushed back the Latin Empire all the way to Constantinople by the end of the decade.
 * Rum: Seeing that Nicaea is distracted by western conquests, they seize the city of Ipsus. They also attack Cappadocia, pushing them all the way back to Sinope, in order to cut off the Christian territories.
 * Ainu: The Ainu tribes in Alaska become more syncretic with the local Yupics. Both traditions become celebrated and honored. Some view this as heresy and some battles break out, but at least on the Alaskan peninsula, the Ainu are honored as kin. The Yupanu culture group is formed.
 * Sami and Finnic Tribes: They refuse to join Svearike or Arktalasriika, some join Vestkyst just to spite the kingdom they view as oppressive and war-mongering.

Kingdom of Lustria

 * Government: Centralised tribal monarchy
 * Great Chief: K'oroka (b. 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246), Moszar (b. 1214, r. 1246-1258), Urchannk (b. 1230, r. 1258)
 * Dynasty: N/A
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: Lustria is nearly on the verge of getting through small-scale farming and cultivation of mushrooms, avocado, guava and so many other crops that are also domesticated. Maize, being a thing now across much of the Americas, has also been slowly introduced by other lowly primitive farmers into the Amazon basin by now through thousands of years. Otherwise, hunter-gathering is the most predominant form of obtaining food and resources like fur and hides. (I finally finished this section, but don't know why I'm so lazy to finish this)
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 5 000
 * Amekrog: 240 (yes it's not really a city but who cares, its still the central city)
 * Osbme: 50
 * Koos'en: 40
 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 100% Lustrian folk religion
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 100% Lustrian
 * Military: There is no substantial army in Lustria. A standing army or an organised form of it, is nonexistent. However, the Great Chief does appoint few of them as the bestowed Lizard Warriors, which were better at fighting their opponents and hunt animals well beyond normal people or lesser warriors could do. They were specially trained to also become loyal to their lizard gods and the Great Chief as well, that if they violate their loyalty to them, they will be punished eternally in their afterlife.
 * Army:
 * 40 'Lizard Warriors'
 * 100 generic warriors or hunters
 * 1 400 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters
 * Navy:
 * 125 canoes and rafts
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Events:
 * The Lustrian Ambitions, Pt. 1: The short-lived reign of Chief Moszar was observed. His moment was to finally realise the growth of a united Lustrian kingdom with multiple clans and villages being united into one hand, along with agriculture becoming far more widespread. They thank the lizard gods that they worship in shrines for being able to handle the environment properly, so that the Amazon rainforest could thrive for the children of the lizard gods (the Lustrians). Urchannk succeeded as the new grand chief and in the last two years of the 1250s, he raised the possibility of organising the Lustrian Kingdom into a formal army rather than being unorganised. He also sent out trained lizard warriors (about 20 of them) to call for the unification of the Lustrian Kingdom to be made just after uniting all of the Amazon river delta. Their goal now is to unite those inland.
 * Village Foundations (repeat #1): More villages are being settled and recognised by the new chief as a new era of the Lustrian Kingdom is being established. Their written language as pictograms are being slowly fleshed out as tanned animal skin of some species hunted by people is found to be an effective material to write, although because the Amazon rains a lot, any engravings may fall out immediately. Enclosed buildings are the only place that any form of art and writing could exist outside of basic crafting that just emerged.

Kingdom of Danemark
Government - Fuedal Monarchy Queendom
 * Queen -  ???


 * Ruling House - Kaeva
 * Economy - Danish economy is quite similar to other economies of different kingdoms, making it slightly unstable. With mostly rural and some trade and other things thrown in for flavor, while there is a currency of iron/silver coins that is used plentifully, bartering is still common in some more isolated or impoverished areas, which we are trying to solve, the trade agreement with Vesnia benefits the kingdom well though so that helps. The personal union with Vestkyst also brings our economies closer, but the famine is hitting us hard, causing inflation and other nasty stuff
 * Capital - Kobenhaven
 *  Demographics - 780,000
 * Ethnicities - 90 % Danish 6 % German 4 % Other
 * Cities Kobenhaven - 44,000 Aalborg - 10,000 Odense - 12,000 Esjberg - 12,000 Rural - 697,000
 * Religons - 91% Catholic 5% Orthodox 4% Other
 * Wars and Conflicts


 *            We are not involved with any conflicts as of now.
 * Military - 11,000
 * Infantry - 5,000
 * Archers - 3,000
 * Pikemen - 1,800
 * Lancers - 1,200


 *  Navy                    
 * Galleys - 75 Transport Ships - 40 Canoes - 100


 * Events
 *  Union - The (Vestyker) King is crowned king of Danemark, Vestkyst gets a large sway over our government, but Danish authority is still strong in local areas
 *  The Apocalypse - Danemark also gets caught up in the whole apocalypse things, people panic and soceity is a bit unstable now
 * Northern Famine - The construction of emergency graineries is ordered localy in many villages as we are it hard also, the standard is in average enough for 1 month, give or take


 * Diplomacy
 * Vestkyst - We begin planning the hypothetical union of the two houses for an eventual Kalmar Union (hopefully, mods plz dont bully me), we also let them decide every small tiny detail of everything in our government because we are a puppet state and can't do anything but still kalmar Union plox and I am dumb.
 * Daevite- We prepare defenses against a very much possible Daevite invasion, and faith is strengthened as well as conscription being a big thing to

Kingdom of Vesnia

 * Government: Feudal Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King:  Albrekt III (B 1209, alive) (R 1227 - Present)
 * Ruling House: House of Vesnia (House of Kaufmann)
 * Economy: The Vesnian economy is slightly unstable, being 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. Currently the military is being funded due to the Daevite threat.
 * Capital: Burgenbrao
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ~1 100 000
 * Burgenbrao: 89 000
 * Köslin: 49 500
 * Raustadt: 8 100
 * Heineg: 3 500
 * Schneidemühl: 1 200
 * Rural areas (AKA everything else): ~950 000
 * Ethnicities: 95% Vesnian, 5% Prussian
 * Religion: 97% Catholic Christian, 3% Orthodox Christian
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * HRE-Daevite War(s): The fucking terrifyingly giant massive Daevite Empire to the east is an obvious threat, so thus a lot of the funding goes into the military to prepare for conflict. Other initiatives are also taken, further detailed in Events.
 * Military: Total of 13 000 soldiers under the Royal army (a little more than 1% of pop) as well as troops levied from vassals totaling around 10 000.
 * Deployed units: All
 * 4 200 infantry
 * 3 150 pikemen
 * 4 125 archers
 * 1 000 sword cavalry
 * 525 lancers
 * 10 000 levied soldiers
 * Navy:
 * 18 transport ships
 * 10 galleys
 * Diplomacy:
 * Westria, Avaland and other important HRE states: The Daevites are a clear threat not just to the Holy Roman Empire, but Europe as a whole. We need to prepare defenses immediately, we never know when they might strike!
 * Danemark and Svearike: We urge you to be wary of the Daevite threat. Also Svearike we have heard of your attempts of expansion and recommend you to stop.
 * Events:
 * Nobody Expects the Westrian Inquisition (Sechster und Letzter Teil): With the successful removal of the Orthodox to Inkeri and some of them accepting conversion to Catholicism, the Westrian Inquisition is considered a success, with there only being an incredibly small and minor Orthodox population left, which is being dealt with slowly. This deportation has however lowered the Vesnian population, which needs to be handled in the oncoming years.
 * We Need to Build a Wall: We propose that the most vulnerable parts of the HRE's eastern border (everything from Escosia to the Baltic Sea) should have fortifications built on them to protect from eventual invasion by the Daevites. Obviously a massive and powerful wall will be impossible to be made in just a few decades and as such a literal wall can't be built, but the frontier needs to be fortified.
 * Infrastructure and Stuff: The Walls of Burgenbrao, Raustadt, Köslin and Schneidemühl are improved upon to the best of our ability, our cities are vital to the entire Vesnian Kingdom and must be able to stand during wartimes.
 * Farms: To try and restabilize the economy, farms are improved and those damaged during the conflict are attempted to be repaired so that they can be used again.
 * Heineg Plan: A secret plan is formed by King Albrekt III, his advisors and his vassals. He quotes the time when Vesnia was invaded and mostly conquered by the Varangians, the Vesnians managed to hold out and survive on Bornholm in Heineg. He proposes that if things go down the shitter, the most important persons should attempt to evacuate to Heineg. He believes this may work considering the Daevite horde isn't as effective on water as it is on land (as far as he knows).
 * The Economy Might Suffer...: Ever since that shit with the Orthodox resistance and Westrian Inquisition blah blah blah the economy has been a bit unstable and unfortunately there's not much time in carefully building it up right now due to D A E V I T E  T H R E A T. Obviously we keep an eye on it so that it doesn't fall cause then we can't feed the military or anyone for that matter and I shouldn't have to explain why that is bad for us.

 * Nobody Expects the Westrian Inquisition: The Westrian inquisition have been accepted as succesful and slowly the inquisition starts to leave Vesnia.
 * The Daevite Problem: The increasingly threat of Daevites in the east is soon threatning the HRE's border. Something has to be done about it. Plans of fortifying our Eastern borders we want though to have the whole eastern border of the HRE fortfied especially at weak positions.
 * Improving walls: The walls in Wien, Konr, Bolzano and Rich gets much more heavy fortfied and imrpoved to our best capability. Bolzano is viewed as our last stance incase they manage to capture our cities
 * Begining of fortification of the eastern border: We start fortifying our eastern border against Escosia.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Bavaria, Korona, Boiheim, Lusatien, Vesnia, Avaland: We are the biggest of the most eastern states of the HRE we must work togheter and try to create a fortified front against the Daevites in the east.
 * All the other states in HRE: You should all prepare to go to war since the Daevite horde is coming try your best to help on the eastern front.
 * Svearike, Danemark, Teutonic Order, Vestkyst, Escosia and Svartheim: You are also welcome to partcipate in the defensive war against the Daevites since you all are in the danger zone and might eventually get overtaken by the Daevites but united against them we are stronger.

 * Death of Pocahontas: It is said that on the same midwinter day she was found alive after and well after all her family died from the Accursed Plague, Pocahontas has returned to Mount Olympus. This has caused a major shockwave to the nascent Cult of Pocahontas, with many shocked at Pocahontas' death, believing in her immortality. A lavish and majestic funeral is held, and Pocahontas' dead body is burnt and the ashes scatered over every single man, woman and child in the Confederacy. Work begins on a grand shrine, in order to honor Pocahontas' presence on this earth.
 * Return of the Accursed Plague: It seems that almost immediately after the death of Pocahontas, the Accursed Plague has returned with a venegeance. Almost three-quarters of our people died in just a span of 4 years, and our nation is crippled, with our country only staying independent out of Elysian goodwill, those same darn Elysians as the ones who came just before our first bout of the Accursed Plague, who seem to be immune to it. Why can't THEY teach US their magic spells to get rid of the goddamn fricking Plague!
 * Theological Issues Brought Up by the Death of Pocahontas and the Return of the Accursed Plague: With almost everyone left alive having most of their family die to the resurgence of the Accursed Plague, many stopped believing in Pocahontas, returning to the old gods, or worshipping the gods the Elysian way. However, many still remained true to the faith. Whatever constituted "the faith", however, was up to serious debate. In these days, and for the rest of the history of the Pocahontist faith, the religion would only be held together by the veneration of Pocahontas as some kind of deific figure. This time of crisis would see the emergence of 3 distinct sects of Pocahontism:
 * Orthodox Pocahontism: This sect of Pocahontism purports to be the sect which preserves the original theology of early Pocahontism the most. Orthodox Pocahontists believe that Pocahontas is the godhead and ruler of all the gods (a mix of ancestral spirits and Hellenic gods). Orthodox Pocahontists hold that Pocahontas and her spirit has, upon death, forever left the realm of the living, and only by praying through a weroance (chief) or a shaman shall Pocahontas hear your prayer. Orthodox Pocahontists teach that the Accursed Plague is punishment for a sinful society, and to avoid disease, one must live a virtuous and pious life.
 * Incarnationism: Incarnationism holds that the Spirit of Pocahontas lives on in each and every human, living thing, and inanimate object (in effect a form of pantheism). Incarnationism diverges from the other Pocahontist sects in that it denies the existence of other gods and ancestral spirits as distinct entities, merely suggesting that they, too, are concentrations of the Spirit of Pocahontas.
 * Trialism: Attaining a small but growing influence within the martial classes, Trialism teaches that the Accursed Plague (which they call the Plague of Judgement) is a tool to "judge" whether a man is pure of heart and of sin or not. They have become known for subjecting their children to a rite of passage where they are locked in a room with the corpse of a person (usually a family member) who died of the Accursed Plague, with enough food and water for a week. In Trialism, the eternal Spirit of Pocahontas is present in the Plague of Judgement. Other gods and ancestral spirits are acknowledged here, although only Pocahontas has the authority to forgive all a man's past and future sins via the Accursed Plague.
 * A Tale of Two Brothers: As the second bout of the Accursed Plague spread rampantly across the population, Weroance Asquawkanna would become ever closer to the Elysians and ever more distant with his own people, even preferring to call himself an Elysian name, Demetrios, rather than his own Powhatan name. However, his younger brother Usquehannatoco was much more liked by the (surviving) people of the Confederacy, and was not a cultural apostate like "Demetrios" Asquawkanna. In 1259, Usquehannatoco usurped the throne and title of Weroance with the backing of the people, but not after Asquawkanna fled the scene.

In September, Polo left Venice and travelled to Constantinople by boat. After that, he travelled to the Alagadda Azarkhate where he met with the local ruler and gave him precious gifts. After that, Polo travelled through the dry steppes of Central Asia, following the ancient Silk Road. Underway to Karakorum, Polo visited the Sinkhara Azarkhate where he met the local ruler and gave him precious gifts. Finally, after months of travelling in the unhospitable climate of Central Asia, Polo reached Karakorum, where he was presented to the court of Chagatai Khan.

Nihon no Domei

 * Government: Feudal system, officially a 'Confederation under the Shogun'
 * National Capital: Yamatai-Koku (Present-day Sakurai, Nara)
 * Shogun: Tomoe Gozen
 * United Kingdoms Armed Forces: [DISBANDED]
 * The City of Peace [De Facto capital]: Niigata, Kamado
 * Demographics
 * Population: 14,200,000
 * Honshu: 7,560,000
 * Shikoku: 2,540,000
 * Kyushu: 1,930,000
 * Xia: 2,240,000 (Not inclusive of aboriginals, estimated to be 78,000):
 * Events:
 * The Influence War, PT. III: 
 * Neutral Government: Kamado
 * Alliance of Kangeinoshima: Ren, Hatsune, Soryu
 * Minamoto-Taira-influenced: Kobayashi, Izumi, Kazuto, Touta, Yagami, Uzumaki
 * Fujiwara-influenced: Midoriya, Uchiha, Kujo, Shouko, Ezo [indpendent], Karafuto [independent]
 * Miyamizu-Tachibana-influenced: Kurosaki, Katsuki, Kaneki, Ayanami, Yamato
 * A Temporary Truce: When Miyamoto Hayao dies of an apparent illness, a temporary scuffle for power is ended by new Shogun Tomoe Gozen. The envoys of the three clans and one island arrive to the presence of Gozen and with the burgeoning Daevite forces on the other side of the Sea of Nihon, she forces the clans to a truce and elevates Kangeinoshima's alliance to that of a clan of its own. At the same time, Gozen elevates several notable warriors to be part of the Shogun's Guard, such as Minamoto no Yoshitsune of Minamoto and numerous others. This Guard immediately runs into clan tensions and outside of several members, the Guard splits into the commanders of the clans' various armies and navies.
 * Port fort: Minamoto-Taira organises a series of closed ports between its influenced regions - Nagasaki, Daifuzu and several other smaller towns - and creates a series of forts where only Japanese ships can arrive and trade, blocking trade from former Goguryeo and mainland Asia completely. Hand cannons based off those developed by what formerly was Yun begin to be installed at said forts, while Nagasaki and Daifuzu become home to dozens of ships, particularly kawataro-fune. Tachibana-Miyamizu sends several ships to Nagasaki, but Minamoto-Taira officials prevent most of said ships from docking, leaving the former Fleet of the North to stay in Kanto.
 * Oh god, WILL YOU JUST STOP FIGHTING: Two battalions - one of Fujiwara, and one of Tachibana-Miyamizu - led by victims of isolated clan conflicts run into each other and immediately begin fighting. Although both claim the other attacked first, the battalion from Tachibana-Miyamizu's leader even claiming that the Fujiwarans 'pledged allegience to the enemy', this is enough for the remaining members of the Shogun's Guard to re-assert some control over them in the form of constant inspections and reports.

Events & Great People

 * Horseman of Death I: Chagatai Khan led numerous campaigns across Asia, capturing large swathes of land in Manchuria. Sparsely populated plains were soon taken over by Korean settlers, to which Chagatai Khan had allowed more favorable living conditions in exchange for pleasantries. On the opposite end of things and the world, entire populations of Rostovites and Slavokans in general are killed due to what was interpreted as a diplomatic insult. War begins with Alagadda as border skirmishes run along their borders.
 * The Reconquista Part III: The Reconquista rages on. Leon, having been entirely retaken joins the war, breaking into Andalousia and Capturing Almerida. Castile is able to halt the Andalousian invasion and turn the tide with new recruits from the Papacy and Valcanor. Attempts at the siege of Garofe and Cordoba are made, but they both narrowly fail, with both cities suffering major damage to their defenses and troops, but also the invaders suffering heavy casualties and forced to retreat. A peace deal is proposed. The Iberian christians know the HRE and the Papacy won't provide help soon, as they fear the Daevites too much. The Iberian christians to bolster their own power and might to hold these reclaimed kingdoms. Mauretania accepts the peace deal, with all conquered land being ceded to Castile, Valcanor and Leon.
 * Greenland: Evigvinterborg and almost all rural lands are abandoned, leaving Valstad and Grönborg isolated, with only a handful of fishing boats traveling between the two and fishing becoming the only way of life for the Snaellanders there. Of the roughly 5 000 people who fled Greenland, 2 000 went to Vinland and the rest returned to Snaelland.
 * The Purple Phoenix: Byzantium rises once again! In 1259, Michael Hesperioi took the Nicene throne from the Athenais. The next year, he began the assault on Constantinople itself, which his predecessors had been unable to do. He allied with Genoa, and his general Alexios Strategopoulos spent months observing Constantinople in order to plan his attack. In July 1261, as most of the Latin army was fighting elsewhere, Alexios was able to convince the guards to open the gates of the city. Once inside he burned the Venetian quarter (as Venice was an enemy of Genoa, and had been largely responsible for the capture of the city in 1204). Michael was recognized as emperor a few weeks later, restoring the Byzantine Empire. Achaea was soon recaptured, but Trebizond and Epirus remained independent Byzantine Greek states.
 * The Birth of a Great Warning: Most modern scholars are unsure of when his date of birth is, but it is roughly around 1258. Despite being born to an unknown Persian family from Rum who was killed by Daevites, 16 year old Bulijin (the granddaughter of Chagatai) adopted the child, when she found the 2 year old on the side of the road after a personal raid, making him part of the dynasty. Growing up, he showed a disinterest in continuing the rule of the Daevites. According to legend, while he was sitting in Bulijin's lap in 1267 or 1268, he looked up towards her and said he wants not to "continue the empire" but to "create his own Empire" someday, earning him a chuckle and a head pat by his adoptive mother. By 1269, Greek scholars finally got his name through word of mouth: Ατμάν (Atman).

NPC Turns

 * Ahuric Empire: They reach out to the Papacy and Holy Roman Empire in Rome and Vienna respectively. They bring with them to recipe for gunpowder, stating that it will help in the war and that it is of utmost importance that the Daevites are defeated, reminding them that Alagadda and the Ahuric Empire will be fighting alongside them.
 * Rum: Still taking advantage of Nicene focus on Constantinople in 1260 and 1261, they push Nicaea further along to the coastlines.
 * Georgia & Chaldea: With Rum invading Nicae, they take advantage of the situation and invade from the east. Chaldea sieges Caesarea and Georgia takes most of the Eastern rural lands, not yet invading the major cities.
 * Svartheim: They make a deal with the Daevites. They don't want to fight them but don't want to become tributaries, but are swayed to become tributaries after a long diplomatic session. They refuse the proposal from Vesnia to and other European states to take up arms against the Daevites (For now).
 * Escosia: They follow Svartheim in appeasing the Daevites (for now). They politely turn down Venice's offer.
 * Vinland: They make deals with several Mi'kmaq tribes and use this to help defeat hostile tribes and begin to live in peace with friendly Mi'kmaq, intermarrying and creating a syncretic culture of Mi'kmaq and Picto-Norse, but the Norse culture has more clout.
 * HRE: They begin to prepare for a possible Daevite invasion. Massive public works are brought to action, with fortifications being set up across the whole western border, fortifying the river Vistula. Forts and castles are built, traps and ambush points are set. Military training for most able men is put to action. All the HRE states participate in the public works. A second defensive line is set along the river Oder.
 * Cappadocia: dies to Rum after decades of attacks.
 * Naples: They agree to an alliance with Venice.
 * Mixtec: They cede all occupied land to Tlaxcala.
 * Daevite Empire: They are not impressed by Venetian offers for a trade deal, and provide a counter-proposal in which Venice becomes a Daevite tributary in exchange for protection. Niccolo Polo is still held in high regard by the Daevites however.

Kingdom of Danemark
Government - Feudal Monarchy Queendom
 * Queen -  ???
 * Ruling House - Kaeva
 * Economy - Danish economy is quite similar to other economies of different kingdoms, making it slightly unstable. With mostly rural and some trade and other things thrown in for flavor, while there is a currency of iron/silver coins that is used plentifully, bartering is still common in some more isolated or impoverished areas, which we are trying to solve, the trade agreement with Vesnia benefits the kingdom well though so that helps. The personal union with Vestkyst also brings our economies closer, but the famine is hitting us hard, causing inflation and other nasty stuff
 * Capital - Kobenhaven
 *  Demographics - 782,000
 * Ethnicities - 90 % Danish 6 % German 4 % Other

 * Religons - 91% Catholic 5% Orthodox 4% Other
 * Wars and Conflicts
 *           ( Not Exactly Conflict) In preperation for a very much possible Daevite invasion, the construction of forts and a long wall is ordered by the officals serving under Vestkyst in an organized manner, this system of forts and the walls will be known in history as the Danish Line, and most of the local lords are similarly ordering conscription and for serfs to build materials. We do not go to war with the Daevites though, since we do not have sufficent manpower or resources to contribute
 * Military - 16,000
 * Infantry - 8,000
 * Archers - 4,000
 * Pikemen - 1,800
 * Lancers - 1,200
 * Men-at-Arms (Can be trained for any job) - 1,000
 *  Navy                    
 * Galleys - 80 Transport Ships - 44 Canoes - 130
 * Events
 *  The Apocalypse - While the whole apocalypse thing still holds great fear in the populace, priests around the whole kingdom work hard to keep stability, ordering people to remain calm and to accept the Second Coming and not panic but to always be ready, success varies throught the kingdom
 * Northern Famine - The construction of emergency graineries is ordered localy in many villages as we are it hard also, the standard is in average enough for 1 month, give or take. Serfs continue donating to the stockpiles which are held in castles and in graineries
 * Gunpowder - Merchants from the HRE lands start bringing in gunpowder from their imports, demostrating it's devastating power, the idea is taken into good consideration, however it faces backlash from traditionalists that say it is not as noble as swords or bows and arrows, either way, the idea for the training of "FIre Breathers" that can use gunpowder as a flamethrower is taken into consideration, while monks and alchemists carefully record the formula for gunpowder and experiment with it
 * Danish Line - Elite architects from the vast and wide edges of the empire and hired ones too provide their services, while fit workers help build the extensive fort system, as of now, construction is occuring at the narrow border with mainland Europe, where we see defense most likely to succeed, plans are made for places the royal family and nobility can flee to, and progress is going well.
 * The Tale of Alfred the Reformer (I) - It is in a small village in the outskirts of Kobenhaven where the young Alfred Adolphus is born. Growing up, he was always a man of question, asking things such as "Where those that lived before Christ all doomed to die?", and other such things. At the age of 9, he witnessed what he saw as a flamed system take place, a man had taken a confessional next to the booth where he was undergoing one to. That night, that same man would murder several fellow people at night, before he himself was hanged. At the moment when the muderer's neck snapped, Alfred thought, "This cannot be the true way of God.", he began to doubt the Catholic Church more and more, and soon he might change the whole course of Christendom.
 * Diplomacy
 * Vestkyst - We begin planning the hypothetical union of the two houses for an eventual Kalmar Union (hopefully, mods plz dont bully me), we also let them decide every small tiny detail of everything in our government because we are a puppet state and can't do anything but still kalmar Union plox and I am dumb.
 * Daevite- We prepare defenses against a very much possible Daevite invasion, and faith is strengthened as well as conscription being a big thing, but we still keep relations normal

 * King:  Albrekt III (B 1209 D 1267) (R 1227 - 1267), Wilhelm V (B 1245, alive), (R 1267 - Present)
 * Ruling House: House of Vesnia (House of Kaufmann)
 * Economy: The Vesnian economy is slightly unstable, being 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. Currently the military is being funded due to the Daevite threat.
 * Allies: Svearike, Vestkyst, Danemark (personal), HRE members (de facto).
 * Capital: Burgenbrao

 * Schneidemühl: 1 900
 * Rural areas (AKA everything else): ~950 000
 * Ethnicities: 95% Vesnian, 5% Prussian
 * Religion: 97% Catholic Christian, 3% Orthodox Christian
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * HRE-Daevite War(s): Plans for the eventual conflict is constantly planned for, with villagers being taught what to do in time of crisis (not much...) also Albrekt III pressures his vassals to provide more soldiers for the total Vesnian army since we're going to need all the power we can. The plans and all such things are written down, so that if something bad happens like a king suddenly dying or being unable to rule, the new one can quickly read up on it.
 * Military: Total of 13 000 soldiers under the Royal army (a little more than 1% of pop) as well as troops levied from vassals totaling around 15 000.
 * Deployed units: All
 * 4 200 infantry
 * 3 150 pikemen
 * 4 125 archers
 * 1 000 sword cavalry
 * 525 lancers
 * 15 000 levied soldiers
 * Navy:
 * 18 transport ships
 * 10 galleys
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ahuric Empire and Alagadda Azarkhate: It means a lot to us that you gift us with this knowledge. We pray that your battles be in your favor. It is great that we can put our differences aside and face the greater threat.
 * Events:
 * Albrekt III: Thus far arguably the most imporant monarch of the House of Kaufmann, Albrekt III's approximate 40-year reign ends when he passes away at age 58. His son Wilhelm V has now inherited these troubling and frightening times and might possibly be the king that must face the behemoth that is the Daevite Empire.
 * We Have Gunpowder (sort of): The Arzhamites of the Middle East has provided the HRE (mainly the emperor, Westria and also the Papacy) with the recipe for a certain material known as gunpowder, a material never seen before in the European continent. Assuming that we get a fair share, careful experiments are made to see what this substance is capable of and how it may help us in conflicts.
 * The Fortifications: Vesnian architects assist in the building of fortifications in places such as the Vistula, the Oder river and also helps build up the walls of Berlin, an important city in the Empire, just by the Vesnian border.
 * Saint Nicholas' Church: The building of a church dedicated to St. Nicholas is commenced in Raustadt by the market square. A bishop of the Dioceses of Cammin requests that funds be provided for the building of such a holy site, that will likely take decades.
 * Heineg Plan: If the Daevites cross far into our lands in a possible war, several persons of importance as well as citizens will be evacuated to Heineg. The army will attempt to retreat to behind the Oder river forts and so will the House of Kaufmanna 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.

Powhatan Confederacy | Grand Duchy of Crotania

 * Government: Centralized tribal confederacy
 * Weroance: Usquehannatoco (b.1231, r.1259-1264), "Demetrios" Asquawkanna (b.1227, r.1256-1259; 1264-)
 * Capital: Croatan
 * Economy: Mainly based off fishing, hunting, and a minimal amount of corn farming. The second bout of the Accursed Plagues have hit the area, drastically reducing its population and shattering its fledgling economy. In addition, the Demetrian Coup, Banishment and subsequent influx of Elysian colonists has drastically changed the social structure of the area. It is safe to say that the entirety of the Powhatan Confederacy, and in extension, much of OTL North Carolina, is experiencing massive socioeconomic upheaval.
 * Demographics: 
 * NOTE: Population figures in italics are exiled populations, population figures without italics are populations remaining in the Powhatan Confederacy/Grand Duchy of Crotania after Elysian vassalship.
 * Population: 1,200 (900 in exile)

 * Events:
 * A Tale of Two Brothers, pt.2: Upon usurping the throne, Usquehannatoco expelled the Elysians and Miktos from the Confederacy. However, instead of returning to Elysia as he had intended, many Elysians and especially the Miktos joined forces with the Demetrian rebels under Asquawkanna, believing him to be the protector of their people and to be more competent thsn his brother. With the Elysians and Miktos under his service, "Demetrios" turned to Elysia for protection. Meeting with several noble families of Elysia, he presents himself as an "enlightened, modern ruler" and Usquehannatoco as a "brutish, savage beast of a man", and asks for their help in ousting Usquehannatoco, in return for swearing fealty to the Elysian crown, and allowing each of the noble families to do trade and own land in Powhatan territories. Many of these families, seeing business opportunities and even chances to oust the child-king and his detested Montauk regent, agree to aid Asquawkanna in this endeavor. Backed with military might, "Demetrios" attacked and recaptured Croatan on December 17, 1264, after a 2-week siege. He was quickly re-crowned Weroance of the Powhatan Confederacy.
 * The Grand Duchy of Crotania: Soon after regaining control over the throne, Asquawkanna swears fealty to the Elysian kingdom, officially drops his native name in favor of his Greek pseudonym, Demetrios, and styles himself Grand Duke of Crotania. The Powhatan are now firmly in Elysian grasp, and those who oppose Elysian rule will have to make a truly difficult choice...
 * The Banishment, the Trail of Tears and the Great Migration, pt.1: The Banishment and the Great Migration are probably the most brutal, yet heavily romanticized period of Powhatan history; a 33-year journey of political exiles, heretics, and outcasts across the Trail of Tears, a journey spanning two-thirds of the Olympian continent, and one that would lead to the creation of a completely new cultural identity. This long saga begins with the Demetrian takeover of the Confederacy. Upon taking Croatan, Demetrios's offer to Usquehannatoco and the weroances who supported him was a simple one: be exiled "to the ends of the earth", or be burned at the stake for treachery. Naturally, Usquehannatoco and his supporters chose the exile route. As Usquehannatoco and company travelled through smaller towns and villages, they attracted a motley of Incarnationists and Trialists, social outcasts, dirt-poor families, criminals, "plague orphans", and the adventurous few who "just wanted a fresh start". Soon, these migrants formed a ragtag band of the newly-declared Crotania's unwanted renegades, traveling from village to village, using their horses and newly-acquired crossbows to hunt game, and spreading news of the "ghost-people from the lands closest to the rising sun". In an area of settled mound-building societies, this nomadic group of renegades and outcasts became a novelty to the Cherokee, the Creek, and other groups where the Exiles passed through. They would also indirectly cause profound changes to the social and demographic landscape of the OTL American South and Midwest, being the main vector for the spread of Old World diseases into the interior of the continent. By 1270, the Powhatan Exiles had travelled as far as OTL Birmingham, Alabama.
 * Hellenic Influx: Seeing virgin lands, fertile farmland, and bountiful hunting grounds, many Elysian minor nobles, and families of Elysian soldiers and knights settle in Powhatan territory. In the coming years, many more Powhatan would be forced from their ancestral home by Elysian encroachment, with many tracing the footsteps of Usquehannatoco and his Exiles on the Trail of Tears.

Kingdom of Lustria

 * Government: Centralised tribal monarchy
 * Great Chief / Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods: K'oroka (b. 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246), Moszar (b. 1214, r. 1246-1258), Urchannk (b. 1230, r. 1258)
 * Dynasty: N/A
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: By the mid-late 13th century, the Lustrian Kingdom has a substantial amount of farming (but not as large as to preserve the environment and Lustrians, who lived in the Amazon for about ~1 500 years since their migration from Mesoamerica has adapted to that) but the number of people who are hunter-gatherers are still high. There are small groups of artisans who make pottery that creates some substantial trade value to it with art carvings that mean something in a Lustrian clan. The Amazon river system is the gateway for the Lustrians, as they use canoes and rafts to trade one and another.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 7 200
 * Amekrog: 310
 * Osbme: 70
 * Koos'en: 60
 * Eztekol: 50
 * Sal'tcet: 70
 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 100% Lustrian folk religion
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 100% Lustrian
 * Military: A vaguely established and organised military is consolidated by the Grand Chief (or the 'Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods' as it is literally called in Lustrian). 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. The attempt of organising the Lustrian military is required for the unification of all Lustrian people so that they could be united under the lizard gods that is bestowed by their lands.
 * Army:
 * 45 'Lizard Warriors'
 * 120 'Rainforest Warriors'
 * 2 000 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters
 * Navy:
 * 160 canoes and rafts
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Events:
 * The Lustrian Ambitions, Pt. 2: Chief Urchannk (pronounced as er-chen) has no longer proclaimed himself on 1264 to be just a chief and a ruler over Lustrian people, even though it is still a centralised tribal monarchy, rather he would be proclaiming himself to be the Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods. As the lizard warriors venture into the Amazon river system, they encounter many dangers and other Lustrian people who do not agree with subjugation. They managed to sneak in bribes and offers that the so-called Mortal Bearer will provide them security and safety from other non-Lustrian people, who are "not descendants of lizards and rather descendants of monkeys", so most gave into that because of the Lustrian mythology surrounding it.
 * Amekrog: Amekrog has expanded to the point that for the first time, the population of the city has surpassed 300 people. Infrastructure is being developed slowly to accomodate at least 500 to 700 more people by the next few generations, as Lustria's spread of agriculture and cultivation of native fruits have led to a population boost.
 * Organisation of the Warrior Caste: The Mortal Bearer, Urchannk, has decided to establish the Rainforest Warriors group where they couldn't qualify into the most honorable position, the Lizard Warriors. They are no longer a voluntary task as the Lustrian eocnomy has shifted out of a hunter-gathering state and into being an agricultural state. An organised army is the way to keep the Lustrian Kingdom in check and not succumb to collapse. It also provides stability.

State of Li
Government: Absolute Monarchy
 * Emperor:Ninzong (Age 50, 1240)
 * Dynasty: Later Wu
 * Parliament: Nonexistent
 * Alliances: Part of the Daevosphere

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.

Our navy starts employing Rockets, which are basically fireworks with a bomb attached to the nose.
 * Fun in the Phillipines: We establish a base for trade on the Island of Coron in Palawan named Tangbana.
 * Xianism: Evolving from Vajrayana, Mahayana, and Tianist (and maybe Nestorian) Beliefs, a new sect known as Xianism comes into being. It stressing cultivation of the mind and body, through certain practices, which will get one closer to a something called "Xian". It also emphasizes filial piety, suppression of desires involving pleasure, good deeds, and faith in Xian's power. Xianism is also less strict in women's gender roles, perhaps because of Miao influence. Some weird belief in a heavenly bureaucracy exists.
 * Sen-shu-koku: Trade agreement plez

Events & Great People

 * Horseman of Death: As Chagatai Khan passes, his son Berke ascends to the throne. He reroutes resources from the Slavokan massacres orchestrated by his father to a focus on the Japanese islands, declaring war with the intention of making Japan submit to Daevite overlordship. Peripheral island territories of the Kazuto clan were invaded in 1278, marking the beginning of a new struggle in Asia. Despite the forte of the Daevites being terrestrial combat, their command of the Korean and Chinese navies are able to keep up with the Japanese fleets, and with a seemingly infinite supply of manpower and boats, the day the Daevite armies land from their ships onto the Japanese heartland grows ever closer. Skirmishes with Alagadda continue due to their impudence and stubbornness in refusing to become another tributary.
 * Slavokan Massacre: The Slav genocide occurs in Northeastern Europe, with more than half of the Slavs dead by 1280. The Slavs become a minority within a decade in their own country with Finnics and Daevites or Asians settling the regions left barren. With the Genocide emptying Rostov's population by thousands and most soldiers dead after the Daevite led purge, Inkeri and Karjala take advantage of the situation and occupy Rostovian borderlands, before the tiny tributary state of Finnic Rostov is established, with large pressure from the Inkeri. Only small number of Rostovian nobles and peasents fled to Bavaria, bringing their language and culture with them.
 * Komic Isolationism: The Komi peoples enter a stage of isolationism, where they focus mainly on internal affairs and improving their own economy and boosting their population. Infrastructure still remains a foreign and impossible concept. Komic folk religions enter a golden age and so does ancient Komic poetry and storytelling literature, which are basically one and the same.
 * Sons of Dagda: The Eire had been annexed by Frangleterre a few decades back, but some think of this rule as illegitimate, as they don't want to bow to an Anglish or Franglish king. Dissent grows and the Caledoni use this to cause more chaos in the region, waking thoughts of unifying with Caledonia.
 * Unrest in the East: Several dozens of partisan groups have formed in Daevite tributaries in India and China, causing discord in the occupied lands. Daevite officials are assassinated and soldiers are murdered in broad daylight, particularly in peripheral tributaries such as Chola.
 * A Monahtanuk on the Elysian Throne: The unnamed Monahtanuk regent on the Elysian throne is revealed to be none other than Aqrowkanna, the cousin of Asquawkanna, ruler of Croatan. He desires the throne for himself, and is approached by his advisors with suggestions of “disposing” his child to secure his throne. However, he cannot bring himself to order death upon his child, and instead chooses to secretly send them to Croatan. It is publicly announced that the child died of smallpox, and a period of mourning was declared. Meanwhile, the child was raised in Croatan under the given name of Quanah within a family close to Aqrowkanna without the knowledge that they are the heir to the Elysian throne.
 * Wind-Riders of Atlantis: As naval developments continue in Atlantis, a new type of sailing vessel is created. Proving extremely useful on the waves of Atlantis, the Atlanteans used these ships known as wind-riders, or aioliko-anavati, to island-hop and establish trading outposts at a fast pace. These designs will spread throughout the region in time.
 * River Folk: The Amazon rainforest, as Atlantean explorers have dubbed the region due to encountering a tribe of women that bore similarities to the Amazons of Greek legend, sees the rise of advanced civilisations building on trade between tribes. Thus far, a centre of trade has developed in the tribal federation of Aroana, by the name of Pongo.
 * Blade Against the Sun: Atlas is able to push back the Mauretanians who've suffered tremendous losses and are facing a shortage of manpower. They recapture Goreneum. The century long war between Atlas and Mauretania comes to an end as a peace deal is made between the two.

NPC Turns

 * Georgia & Chaldea: They continue their invasion of Rum.They siege Melitene and Hattria and capture them. Georgia also invades Alagadda, taking Avarayr.
 * Vestkyst & Svearike: They enter an alliance with HRE to fight against the Daeva.
 * Songhai: They conquer Timbuktu and finish the first war of their holy campaign.
 * Rum: Captures most of the coastal cities of Byzantium, only leaving Abydos, Nicaea, and Smyrna in Byzantine hands.
 * Byzantium: They pay tribute to the Daeva, seeing no reason to really oppose them. This alliance would give them the forces required to retake the lands taken by Rum.
 * Osnerol: They annex more of Cuba.
 * Sen-shu-koku: They accept.
 * Mixtec: They deny the proposal on account of the relative strength of alliances they have.
 * Valcanor: They make a deal of friendship with Atlas, seeing a good ally against the Mauretanian Aresians.

Powhatan Exiles

 * Government: pseudo-anarchic decentralized clan confederation (no real government, social cohesion limited to following Usquehannatoco and their own unofficial "clan chief")
 * "Leader": Usquehannatoco (b.1231)
 * Capital: N/A (nomadic/in exile)
 * Economy: Not much; people live off of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and trade is limited to sporadic exchanges of Elysian weapons and horses for food, shelter, and goodwill towards the clan or tribe the Exiles are forced to intrude on.
 * Demographics: 
 * Population: 1,100
 * Religion: 76% Pocahontism (12% Orthodox Pocahontism, 51% Incarnationism, 37% Trialism), 23% traditional Native American religions
 * Ethnicity: 75% Powhatan, 10% Cherokee, 6% Chickasaw, 4% Appalachee, 3% Creek, 1% Choctaw, 1% Miktos
 * Military:
 * Army: no real army, ~600 able-bodied men but only ~150 with military experience (tribal warriors/exiled Powhatan troops)
 * Navy: N/A
 * Wars and Conflicts: N/A
 * Events:
 * The Banishment, the Trail of Tears, and the Great Migration, pt.2: The Exiles continue to traverse the continent, attracting attention and enticing the avid adventurers and social outcasts of clans and tribes who know about them to join, too. By 1280, the Exiles would be in the vicinity of OTL St.Louis, Missouri. When asked of the final destination of their travels, Usquehannatoco replied: "I do not know, little one, but I honor the word of my brother, even if he is a traitor to our culture. He asked me to travel as far away from him as my legs would allow, and so I intend to travel in the opposite direction of the rising sun for as long as I live".
 * The Plague Strikes Back: A fable dating back from the Great Migration goes as follows: One cold winter morning, the Exiles chanced upon two Chickasaw villages: a large and prospering one, and a small and stuggling one. The large, prosperous village refused to let the Exiles in, even though they had more than enough food to sustain all of them, but the small, struggling one let them in, even though they barely had enough food for themselves, let alone the Exiles. For as long as the Exiles stayed in the small village, the food stocks of the small village would replenish every sunset, so that there was always enough food for the people of the village and the exiles. However, the other village displeased the gods, so Pocahontas decided to rain the Accursed Plague down upon that village. Thus, every man, woman, and child in the large but selfish village died, while no harm would come upon the small but kindhearted village. Although this fable merely uses the Accursed Plague to reinforce its message of kindness and charity, the Powhatan Migration was historically one of, if not the main vector of spread of Old World diseases such as smallpox, typhus, and measles into the interior of Olympia. Several historians even cite the Powhatan Migration as a major indirect cause of the fall of the Mississippian moundbuilding societies.
 * Spreading Literacy: Several shamans, scribes, and the few Miktos exiles have begun teaching basically anyone who listens how to read and write. In this way, the Great Migration spread writing into the interior of the Olympian continent, and also cemented the Barbaroi script as the main script for writing native languages in general.

Products of agriculture are one of the main export items of Temasek. Other items include various ores and metals, as well as oil.
 * Foreign policy goals:
 * to rebel against the influence of the Daevit Empire in Southeast Asia;
 * to take the whole coast of the Strait of Malacca under control.
 * Wars: none.
 * Events:
 * The Inflow: a number of soldiers is moved to Sumatran part of Temasek in order to invade the island of Sumatra. This is shown by population increase in the city of Jambi.
 * The Great Expedition: the flotilla of the ships "Tharaban", "Matusek" and "Pathrak" were sent to an expedition in depths of Africa. They have gone about 1000 km inland and discovered two previously unknown nations and a system of lakes. One of the nations, called Mobamba, is situated 700 km northwest of Mombasa. It surrounds the largest lake of the above-mentioned system, called Theremin by the explorers, and 3 smaller lakes (north to south): Koykandin, Enbernet and Grenadines. Together, the lakes form the shape of a palm, but the small lakes are the knuckles. The nation of Mobamba is about 400000 km. s. The second nation is called Wakanda. It's northeast of Mobamba and it's also situated around a lake, which the explorers called Sahitholat. It is very long an thin, about 250 km from north to south.

Kingdom of Danemark
Government - Fuedal Monarchy Queendom
 * Queen -  ???
 * Ruling House - Kaeva
 * Economy - Danish economy is quite similar to other economies of different kingdoms, making it slightly unstable. With mostly rural and some trade and other things thrown in for flavor, while there is a currency of iron/silver coins that is used plentifully, bartering is still common in some more isolated or impoverished areas, which we are trying to solve, the trade agreement with Vesnia benefits the kingdom well though so that helps. The personal union with Vestkyst also brings our economies closer, and now the famine is gone we are good again

 * Danish Line - Progress begins going faster with more conscription and the joining with the HRE in the Anti-Daevite Alliance in working on the walls and fortifacations
 * The Tale of Alfred the Reformer (Il) - In his early attempts to reform to the Catholic Church, Alfred found great resistance where he spread his message, so after several years of failed preaching, he begins drafting his book On the Reform of the Papacy  in Naples, where he plans to publish it and eventually finish his job
 * Diplomacy
 * HRE - Since we are in a personal union with Vestkyst, we also join the alliance with the HRE

The plans and all such things are written down, so that if something bad happens like a king suddenly dying or being unable to rule, the new one can quickly read up on it.

 * Danemark, Vestkyst and Svearike: Our friendship goes back centuries (especially with Vestkyst and Danemark), we appreciate this help very much.
 * Events:
 * Gunpowder Experiments: Further experimentation with the substance shows that it has potential in weaponry as it is explosive. Fire arrows are created, a weapon that can be very useful in destroying settlements. Devices called fire bombs (basically think of something in the vain of Molotov cocktails) are also developed.
 * Walls of Heineg: The fortification of Heineg is improved, it is a strategically important area and if things go bad in the Daevite wars, our last stronghold.
 * DEUS VULT: Wilhelm V treats the incoming war with the Daevite Empire as a straight up crusade against the Daevites. Europe vs them, right now it doesn't matter if you're German, Avar or Danish, Catholic or Orthodox, the Daevites must be defeated before they get too powerful.
 * Historical Regions: Through many years of well, existing, 5 main historical regions within Vesnia are established during the late 13th century. These are Rügen (covering the island and the westernmost areas of the kingdom), Ostmark (the Northeast), Lechtenheim (roughly the borders of the late HRE state of Lechtenheim), Heineg (obvious) and Vesnia Proper (everything else).

We believe it is best to keep his court in Bolzano since it lays quite far away from the Daevites and by the mountainous region in our country which is good protection.
