You know what would be interesting? If Karkarth and Moonland were forced to unite despite old hatreds against a common threat, like Axohaan.

Sadly that would be impossible geographically so far unless Ghûls learned some impressive boat building and become a true Easter threat. :K


there's always the plague... ;p

Province of Theodora




NATIONAL
-Capital: Wernburg
-Government Type:
(De Jure) Imperial Province under the Imperial Throne of Somnus.
(De Facto) The Governor is dead, as is his entire family and the high level officers have all fled the Province in the wake of the plague. A regency council as been established mainly formed of some military officers and bourgeois that stayed. The structure is very feudalist if not communist in its nature, with the council offering protection against the plague in exchange for service and resources, giving people choice between submitting or going bandit.
-Currency: Somnus Vermillion (Not minted anymore, barter is more common as is taking thigns by force.)
-Population: 239,000 (Approximation)
-Realm Size: 10

-Unique Trait #1:
Medical Expertise: Theodora was at first what people saw as the Empire's best hope for survival, for the University of Wernburg had always been the leading edge of the entire world in all medical matter and as a tradition, the physicians of the Emperors came from here. Despite being overrun by the plague and its small size, Theodora still has better medical facilities, techniques and knowledge than all other nation. This advantage however is slowly being strained, the labs falling in disrepair and the old teachers falling victim to the plague as they try to cure it, but Wernburg hasn't fallen yet.

-Unique Trait #2: (Created by me, mostly to reduce min-maxing)

-Unique Flaw #1:
Destruction of Social Order: The quarantine army fails to contain the spread of the plague, only slowing it down, and thus in the country side and even in some parts of the cities, plague victims roam along with peasants that have taken arm to pillage their neighbors for food and supplies. Some cling to the quarantine army for safety, but this is no longer a civilized province.

-Unique Flaw #2 (Created by me, mostly to reduce min-maxing)

GEOGRAPHICAL
- World-Realm Map:
- Geographical Trait:
- Geographical Flaw:
- Internal-Realm Map:

-Major Cities:
-Wernburg: The largest city and official capital of the Province, the city itself is technically fallen with only a few holdout in the form of the Military Garrison, the University and the Governor's palace. The plague victims congregate all over the city with the few survivors still living in their home desperately scavenging or trying to reach the lifeline of the city: The Theodose River. The river is used to ferry supplies in the city without having to go through the plagued streets, although sometimes as an emergency route the city dwellers use the sewers to travel underground.

-Glimmercroft: Seat of the Regency as communicating orders from Wernburg would be too tedious and slow, it is also the largest still mostly intact city of the Province. It holds this distinction as being one of the rare walled city this far inside the old Empire. It is the artisanal powerhouse of the Province as here people work almost as willing slave for the Council, offering their craft in exchange for food and safety. Most people never, ever leave the walls of the city by fear of what's outside.

-Major Castles:
-Emperor's Retreat: A fortress near Wernburg, it was where the emperor went when he felt sick so his best doctors may cure him. This location now serves as a secure laboratory to experiment on surgical options available to try and cure the plague, something they've until now had very, very little success.

-Dunwitch Sanitarium: Not so much a castle as a large facility, the Sanitarium experimented on the insane before the plague and after it, it still tries to find a psychological solution to the problem, make the plague victims less aggressive or at least understand a pattern in their actions so to better fight against them.

-The Rock: The tiny castle of a minor baron without importance that's long dead. No one alive can even remember the name of this place people simply call 'the rock'. It is not the farthest outpost Theodora has, the closest men are from the epicenter of the plague in the north of the continent. The Council still maintain a phantom garrison there to observe what's going on in the land of the old emperor.

-Buildings of Interest:
-The University of Medicine, Wernburg
-The Governor's Palace, Wernburg
-The Barracks, Wernburg
-The Quarantine District, Glimmercroft
-The Mass Grave, Wernburg
-The Fire Pit, Glimmercroft
-Geographic Features of Interest:

RACIAL
-Majority Race: Humans
-Majority Race Appearance: Average Human
-Majority Race Characteristics: Pretty Human
-Minority Races: Nope

RELIGION & MAGIC
-State Religion:
Justinian Orthodox

-Religion Demographics:
-48% Justinian Orthodox
-39% Somnus Heterodox Justinian
-13% Other Justinian

-Holy Relics In Possession:
-Rod of Mercy: A holy artifact rumored to be able to cure any sickness from the simplest flu to lycantropy and leprosy. Many turned to the Rod to save the Empire from the plague, but it seemed that the powers of the artifact are limited. It is now held in the Emperor's Respite.

-Corpse of the last Great Prince: When the plague hit the capital, it sweep through the core of the empire and killed the emperor and his family. One of the last heirs of the dynasty managed to get to the Respite to seek treatment but couldn't be saved. As news of the Emperor's death came to him, he proclaimed himself Emperor but couldn't do the ceremony before he died.

-Holy Sites Under Control:
-The holy hospital of Wernburg: A holy placed where the sick had the favor of Justinian himself and healed better and more quickly than any other place (although the quality of the doctors probably had something to do with this.), the Hospitalier Order of Theodora held it to the last men before they were overrun by the plagued.

MILITARY
-Total Military Size: 25,000
-Military Details
-11,000 Quarantine Officers: A lot of them students from the University that never graduated, they all have formation on how to deal with the plague and the infected, using crowd control tactics and focusing on mowing down mostly untrained peasants. Their greatest skill lies in finding and dealing with plague hot spots and cut their loses in such poisoned environment.
-800 Knight Hospitalier: Most of the order was destroyed during the lost of their HQ in the Hospital of Wernburg, the rest were wandering knights that traveled across the Empire to heal the sick where they could be found and made their way back to Theodora in a hurry. They're not as good as most knights in combat, but they're expert survivors and are even better than Quarantine officers to detect signs of the plague and avoid them.
-13,200 Guardsmen of the Regency: A more versatile force than the Quarantine Officers, these are there to insure the law and order of the cities and settlement in day to day affairs, which means fighting a lot of bandits, stray infected and arrest thieves and looters where needed. Their efficiency against a competent enemy is debatable, but at least it's very hard to sneak pass them, as they've had some very bad surprises and disasters happen when they didn't notice what was going on until the last second.

NATIONAL DRAMATIS PERSONAE
-Head of State/Monarch:
Duke Wilhelm Fürst, Regent of Theodora: The highest noble left in Theodora and the one everyone chose to rule without much discord, the Furst have mainly just 'Been there' for generations to maintain relation between the people landed there and the Imperial appointed Governor

-Constable Of The Army:
-General Albius Ravenstein: An old general that was on the move when the empire crumbled. Rather than spreading his forces left and right he stayed with his small army where he was, awaiting for orders from the Emperor, whomever he might be at the moment. Orders never came and he eventually joined communal work in the province, invited in the regency council as Constable of the Regencyé

-Religious Head:
High Cleric Ashendale: A holy man with divine powers of healing, he was the head physician of the Emperor before his death. He now lives in the Emperor's respite and is obsessed with discovering a cure for the plague.

Ghûls are obviously the greatest romancers; they go to Somnus and beyond to seduce the best looking women for themselves and drive them away in their flashy Ghûl sports cars. That's the real reason everyone hates them.
