- Eclorian(s)
- Nomarian(s)
People:Nimenorian 25%
Eclorian 20%
Nomarian 55%.
Population Scale/Nation Size:~250 000
Government:Divine Twin Monarchy. The Government of this united Divine Imperium, or well, partially united, atleast. Either way, the way of rule in this world is through the superiority of two 'Gods' one being a direct decendant, therefor the God Emperor and the other is the Demigod, a man risen in rank through his superior strenght, through the entire history of the Divine Imperium of Nimoria these two seperate rulers, both Emperor like in rank and skill, through history they've stayed at peace, but ever vigilant, now however, 'ascention' of the previous God Emperor and the raclaim of his throne by his son, the Demigod is restless for power. This is the Twin Monarchy.
Below these two rulers are the four kings, kings are general like figures in nature and they're superior in military skill to other soldiers, they lead their warriors and every king has controll of one city and it's surrounding farmland and villages, beneath these kings are four legions of warriors, these kings act as a council for the two Godlike figures of power and give them advice, without the two gods' approval nothing can be decided in the world, four kings, however have the equal vote of one god. This is the Quad Monarchy system.
Used together it becomes the Divine Twin Monarchy system.
People of Importance:- Demigod Caius Maridion. [Mortuus Aquila]
Caius is without question the strongest warrior in the divine realm, his artifact hammer never leaves his palms and his physical prowess is simply incredible, almost unatural how a mortal would be able to ascend into his physical form, however like any man he can be overwhelmed, however beneath his belt he commands three legions and the strongest military force in the realm, the Heavenly Guard.
- God Emperor Meril Maximilian. [The Divine Order]
Meril is the son of the famous God Emperor Carazel, a man who supposedly carved the famous Heavenly Guardians out of the bedrock mountains of Heavens Peak at each side of the capitol. His age is unknown, since Gods are 'immortal' and ever youthful, however his experience in the military field is questionable and at times idiotic, he is however a man capable of pleasing the public, whilst his opposition is not so skilled in that particular field.
- Path Maker Cartlagir Mynd [The Divine Order]
Cartlagir is the only mage in the realm and he is a powerful mage at that, he is the most tactical and strategical of the four kings and his realm is as stratigically located and protected as his own, personal halls. Cartlagir is a secretiv man however being the head of the magical order; Arcanum Inquisitas, he has a large amount of royal guards covering each and every flank of his surroundings wherever he is, he is rumoured to offer members of the Arcanum Inquisitas to perform his powerful magics and to converse with the fallen gods who used to rule the Imperium.
- L'Imperator Vindicem Mortus Clourus [The Divine Order]
Mortus is the greatest warrior in the ranks of the Divine Order, he is a champion of the God Emperor himself and is infact the only one who ever served as a Champion during the entire years of the Imperium's existance, he is mute to everyone but the Emperor himself and he is escorted by Cartlagir who uses magic to read the mind of Mortus and speak it to the soldiers whenever Mortus himself leads an army to battle, his strenght with the sword and his powerful armour makes him a powerful foe.
Capital:
The Seat of power in the Divine Imperium, or the capitol is named: Mortan, it's vast structure holding more then the number of people in the city, many more, so therefor sections of the city are used for military exorcises and even mother nature, herself is starting to grow in the cities vast outskirts. Whilst the city itself is much larger then needed it's vast size act's as both tactical environment, capable of hiding soldiers and archers, even cannons, whilst the other half of it's purpose is due to the plague which demolished the population of the Divine Imperium completely.
On the very edge of the city however, at each side of the two mountains covering the entirety of the city between the mountain's bedrock there are two, massive statues, from the very bottom to the very top, over 2000 meters tall, the two statues at each side are the first Twin Gods of the Imperium, Cairus and Caldrus, the ancestors of Caius, they stand in full armor inside of the mountains wall, with their weapons in their hands pointed towards their grounds, there are small indents in their eyes where fires are lighted, and so they've been for many years, never going out once, they are supposedly the life sparks of the Imperium.
Settlements:Whilst Mortan is the only surface city it is completely, or well, the newer parts of the city, it's most centered districts are completely made of well placed stone and reinforced by iron, the Nimenorian race, the original and and most pure figures inside the Imperium have always been masters of Iron Crafting, reinforcing even their cities with it to make it stronger and more capable.
However, the other cities, five of them, are located inside mountains or beneath vast deserts. Whilst the Nimenorians were almost divine iron craftsmen the Eclorian race are most excellent carvers of stone and other, incredibly hard materials like bedrock, whilst it takes them many years the Eclorian race were blessed with patience and after many centuries a city would be carved and reinforced by the Nimenorians, cities are made into strategical strongholds of powerful armies, the Imperium's way of military location is with the king's and Gods, therefor there are no fort's, simply incredibly strong cities with large walls and powerful gates.
The stone carving attract much attention for simply being, astounding and incredible, simply awe dropping, incorperating the central structure, the king's fortress or even better, the God's Palace into the mountain, making the entire palace of fortress hold up the entire mountain beneath itself, it can only be seen to be described.
Nation Description:The Divine Imperium of Nimoria is a very deep nation, in both lore and religion, godifying important figures of history and present. However as of recently the already unstable connections between the two ruling powers of both power and bloodline have been fired ablaze and they are now basically waging a war against each other, a dark period where the Demigod Caius, the most powerful figure in the realm is fighting for ascention and his warriors fighting behind him for a unified ruling structure and the God Emperor and son of the famous God Emperor of previous lore is trying to basically stay alive and keep the current structure of ruling, the three of the four kings forced or willingly behind him, acting as shields against the powerful hammer of fury and demand.
Underholm, the largest and most vast seat of military greatness in possibly the world is occupied by the Demigod himself, vast labyrinth like tunnels leading into unending mining chaft's without a buttom, underground oasis' or possibly even bandit camps, maybe you will even find the even larger catacombs raging under almost the entirety of the desert. Underholm houses 50% of the entire military population of the Imperium and it's also the strongest military force in the Imperium's mother realm, however the city was almost swept dry of civilians due to the plague and the decition Caius made to banish anyone who was sick into the unending underground caverns, there is only about 6000 citizens inside of Underholm, making it the most unactive city you'll ever see, except for the uncountable amounts of soldiers in every corner of the city. The cavern of which Underholm was carved out of as a start is the house of the God's Palace, a creation of almost divine appearence, it is both a military fortress and a staircase to the top of the bedrock mountain of which it is built inside to begin with, the palace itself is located at the most high located point in the mountain, covering most, if not all the mountain with tunnels and paths, but the top hall, a massive hall with an outlook on the entire Imperium is also where the Demigod Caius sit's on his Iron Throne, on the very top of his throne is an iron eagle, in it's claws a sword, an iron two-headed eagle.
Then there is the agressive civilians, the military has been given increased might and controll over the real which aggrivates the civilians, therefor rebellions are easilly started at the slightest wrong move.
Religion:The religion of the Imperium is a lifestyle, it has no name because it is existant wherever you go. However, what the Imperium does with it's religion is extreme, they worship their superiors like godlike figures, sacrifising themselves for their purpose or even killing their animals to ensure that the gods aren't mad. The two figures seen as gods are the Demigod and the God Emperor, the God Emperor is a figure who ascended into godhood through bloodline and birth, whilst the Demigod is a person who ascended into godhood through military capability and overpowering strenght. Kings are seen as the speakers of the different gods since they are basically that. However there is one unified father, the creator of all life, and the father of the Gods. Ulmag of Iron, he is an everything, a figure of iron itself, a craftsman without an equal, he made the planet from his forge of fire and ember and created the blueprints for humanity and civilization from the drawing boards of his great forgery.
The very extensions of his will are the twin-headed eagles, their bodies covered in an iron like color scheme, these birds are immortal and are not allowed to be harmed, for they are the eyes of Ulmag himself. These birds are idolized to the point where physical moldings of iron are made of them and put on shoulder pads of powerful warriors like the Heavenly Guard Captains, or rather Legion Caridors, veterans of battles and double the strenght of a normal Heavenly Guard warrior.
The Twin-headed Eagle is made of reinforced gold and mounted on the shoulder pads of the Demigod Caius aswell as carved into his mighty hammer, however for some reason the God Emperor does not use the Twin-headed Eagle as a figure of appearence, but simply mentions it in speeches, etc.
There is also an object of religious, actually, even military importance: The Iron Biblicon, an iron book of unknown origin, the lifestyle of a warrior is written within it and soldiers of all kinds and sizes follow the rules like they're the word of god, whilst normal commoners and politicial nobles don't understand the power behind the words. The most famous lines inside the Iron Biblicon must be the following; ''Wherefore take upon thee thyne whole armour of Ulmag, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, and having done all, to stand.'' - Page 556, verse 9855, chapter 160 ''Take thyne sword of thee spirit which is the word of God.'' - Page 866, Verse 17554, Chapter 240 ''Wield thyne SWORD with caution, for it's a Spiritual Weapon Ordained to Religiously Destroy.'' Page 1, Verse 1, Chapter 1.
Flora & Fauna:Twin-headed Eagles of Ulmag - The mythological and incredibly rare eagle species, thought of as divine.
Ulmag's Eagles of Iron - An eagle species which appeares as if it was made in a forgery, people who've never seen this rather rare mountain species will think it was actually made by people with the capability of making iron into living metal.
Magic:There is only one mage in the entire realm of the Imperium, he, however uses mind reading and most often psycological magic types, affecting the mind and moral of soldiers without magical resistence and giving his soldiers the edge in battle, the Armour of the Emperors Champion, however, is embedded with anti-magic runes and powerful metals tinted with gold plating, these runes were made through magics and enchanting.
Tech:The use of holy powder mined from the vast mines of Underholm is an incredible innovation, this magical powder allows the creation of gunlike contraptions, therefor incredible cannons have been made from the factory like forgeries of Underholm, both small and incredibly gigantic, although not in large numbers of either and even less the higher you go in caliber and size, however the capability of producing guns held with both hands are a thing, an entire company has been created and their purpose is to use these gun thing's to lethal capabilities in the face of battle, they're still a prototypal idea, however.
Ambitions:The Divine Imperium of Nimoria is a united country, however not at the same time, the two ruling powers are fighting each other in both mind and body, across battlefields and politics. Therefor internal struggle and conflict is ever present, therefor they are not very aware, or concerned about the outside or borders of their Imperium untill they've united, one way or another.
EconomyImports:Foods of all sorts, clean water, snow (religious reasons), military animals (horses, warhounds and occationally even rarer species like lions or tigers)
Exports:Holy powder, metal creations, rare elements, salt (salt mines) and jewlery.
MilitaryArmy Size:7%
Regular troops:- Linemen. (heavy armour, act's as the frontline, capable of taking and dealing damage, 80% of any military gathering or army.)
- Gunmen. (The unique military of the Demigod himself, a prototypal military.)
- Knights. (Knights are incredibly heavy armored and often ride of horses and act as cavalry, however they are able to demount and use their lance and shield to it's ultimate.)
- Spearmen. (Heavily armored soldiers equiped with spears, capable of throwing them and draw an assistant Aculat (A shortsword) to battle instead.)
- Chanters. (Heavily armored war priests covered in religious armours inscriped and decorated with scribings from the Iron Biblicon, they carry in their hands the Iron Biblicon and an Aculat in the other.)
Elite troops:- Heavenly Guard. (Most elite military Legion/Company in the realm.)
- Golden Gunner. (The Demigod Caius decided to create an elite band of gunmen, these are the Golden Gunner, equiped with two golden cannons and Acyra eagle-rifles. Their formation is based around the Golden Cannons and form around them with their Acyra eagle-rifle firing line.)
- The Champions Shining Guard. (The Golden Knight's of the Emperors champion, they are an incredibly powerful small man force.)
- Ulmag's Voice. (A group of ten stationed around the Ulmag Cannon, the largest cannon that Demigod Caius decided to create, it fires devestating cannon balls of many capabilities.)
Navy:The Navy is nonexistant, whilst there are watchtowers around the shoreline and an information network having their eyes on the coastline at all times, the realm is not willing to use naval warfare as viable tactic, and it won't scare them that the enemy is circling their territory, they have to come to land to conquer, and it is there where they will retaliate, if the nation doesn't fall to rebellion before then.
