New Galasia sits south of the Angiris Empire, and north of Ustyara. The nation was bisected by Angiris until 1576 with the signing of the Angiris-Galasian Accords. The nation is separated into Drazen to the west, The strip in the center, and Eastmarch to the east. The western region of Drazen sits along the Angirisian Gulf, and holds two small islands just off of its coastline. The weather in Drazen along the coastline is temperate most of the year, with snow only falling in the nearby peaks of the Olyndius Mountains. The region is dominated by vast woodlands and rolling hillsides, with the Olyndius Mountains sitting near the middle of the region. The eastern region of Eastmarch is entirely landlocked, and sits fairly far inland. Its weather is far harsher than that of Western New Galasia, it becomes quite hot during summer, and its winters it has terrible blizzards. The land is dominated by evergreens, deciduous trees, and craggy hillsides. The nation is ruled over by a Viceroy, who serves the King or Queen of New Galasia but is an elected official. Eastmarch and Drazen are both semi-autonomous, united only by a shared currency, joint military, joint foreign relations, and loyalty to the King/Queen of New Galasia. New Galasia claimed nearly half of Angiris as its territory including all lands from Kurust south to the Ustyara border until the year 1235.

History

In 1002 the people of Drazen declared a crusade to reform the Galasian Empire, these New Galasians were responsible for the assassination of Angirisian Emperor Arius IV in 1002, sparking the Third Civil War. At the begining they had many military successes, gathering together like minded followers as they sought to reforge the Galasian Empire through blood, they were defeated in Tristram, Khanduras in 1039. This defeat led to the signing of the Candlemas cease-fire, or the Candlemas Accords which divided New Galasia in two halves. They maintained that they were the inheritors of Galasia until 1235 when they declared an end to the crusade and the formation of New Galasia as an independent nation. In return to the end of the two hundred year cold war they were granted ease of access to each half of their nation through Angirian lands.

The New Galasian Crusade

1002-1039 In the year 1002 a lord in Drazen is said to have been visited by the Old Gods commanding him to reforge Galasia, and push out the foreign Gods that now dominated their lands. This lord began to unify those who sought a return to the old ways, of a democratic society that was protected by a King, not dominated by an Emperor. This Lord is now known to us as King Arcturus, the first King of New Galasia, and the founder of the Galasian Crusades. As he built his powerbase and subjugated those who opposed the will of the Gods he began to take command of several local Angiris Legions. With these troops, and the support of the people of Drazen the newly crowned King Arcturus began the initial preperation for the upcoming war.

In 1004 the Galasian Crusade began, the initial attacks tested defenses outside of Drazen. Shortly after ensuring their forces could drive deep into Angiris controlled territory the New Galasian forces captured Lut Gholein, and held off the legions in Aranoch, eventually conquering it in 1009. They quickly moved their forces through Ohaie and Conquered it in the year 1013, and southern Virginium fell soon after in 1014. The war sat at a stalemate with the borders changing very little until 1027 when Angiris forces launched a naval attack on Lut Gholein, destroying part of the city. The Legion forces were defeated, but at a cost. King Arcturus died in the fighting and his son Prince Aegeus was crowned the new King of New Galasia. He worked to rebuild the devestated legions, as well as seek an advantage in the stalemated war. Under his command he began the construction of a new fleet in Lut Gholein.

In the year 1035 New Galasia completed their fleet in Lut Gholein and began preparing to begin the naval invasion of Westmarch. At the same time they had prepared an army to march through Kehjistan and take Khurast. The naval forces besieged Westmarch with the bulk of its forces, landing another smaller group further west. The New Galasian forces that had marched through Kehjistan were defeated by Angiris Legion forces in the area, fresh from Caldeum. In the year 1036 the siege was lifted as the New Galasian forces were forced back by the main legion. They moved north and captured Tristram and part of the Khanduras Territory, utilizing it to prepare for a counter offensive. The New Galasian forces held Tristam for nearly six moths before they were summarily defeated by the legions of Angiris. The defeat at Tristram led to the quick defeat of most of the remaining New Galasian forces that held Aranoch, Ohaie, and parts of Virginium. By the time the Legions arrived near Drazen, and Eastmarch both forces were greatly exhausted. The battle of Candlemas was the bloodiest battle in the war, the death toll being the cause of ceasefire as both forces had lost their taste for the war.

The Ceasefire of Candlemas

1039-1235

With the massive loss of life, for both sides of the war at the battle of Candlemas a ceasefire was negotiated by King Aegeus, with New Galasia maintaining control of Drazen and Eastmarch. While this saw them lose a great deal of the land they held just ten years earlier it allowed for the fledgling nation a chance to recover. One of the terms of the ceasefire was that all people who wished to live in New Galasia, or in Angiris not be barred for the first three years, allowing those who were loyal to either side to live amongst their peers without fear of repercussions. This saw a massive increase in the population of both Drazen and Eastmarch within a short period of time.

The first ten years of the ceasefire saw the nation develop improved infrastructure to allow for the increase population, as well as reform their greatly devastated legions. With only a few survivors from the war most of the legion was seen as 'green' with no major training or skill in arms. The veterens of the crusade saw themselves quickly increased in rank, position, and responsibility to allow for hte newer recruits to learn from them. During this time period border skirmishes were common as the leaders of both sides would claim control over villages that were near the borders. Throughout this time period the leaders of New Galasia held onto their claim to nearly half of the Angiris Empire, but bidded their time for their chance to reclaim their lost lands.

For nearly 200 years the two nations maintained this tenuous ceasefire, but in the end it was the cries from the poor region of Eastmarch, having been forced to become self-sufficient to survive, that led to the signing of the Angiris Accords. The accords recognized New Galasia as an independent nation, consisting of the regions of Drazen and Eastmarch, it allowed for the people of New Galasia travel between Draen and Eastmarch through Angiris without harassment. It also meant that New Galasia would resind all claims to Angiris lands outside of their currently accepted borders. These accords were met with mixed opinions by members from both sides, but they were lauded internationally as a great step towards peace in the region. The Angiris Accords were signed by Queen Itys of New Galasia and Emperor (something) of Angiris in the year 1235, bringing an official end to the war.

The End of the Crusade

1235-1456

With the Crusade being over and for the first time in two-hundred years people from Eastmarch and Drazen being able to easily interact with each other the nation found itself entering a bit of a golden age. The people of Drazen focused greatly on the advancement of philosophy, and seeking to understand both the mundane and the divine, meanwhile the people of Eastmarch sought to perfect martial combat now that they had access to knowledge from around the world thanks to ease of movement. The two regions quickly began to see just how different they had become over the two hundred years, with only their dedication to the resurrection of ancient Galasian virtues unifying their change.

New Galasia became a bit of a trading hub thanks to it location at the mouth of the Angirisian Gulf, prior to Angiris proper. This location allowed them to bring in trade that their northern neighbors may be less inclined to accept.

1456-Present

The Angiris-Galasian Accord was signed on 27 Zechyr 1576 CE and changed the shape of New Galasia. With the accord being signed New Galasia suddenly found itself with a small region that unified the two long separated halves of the Kingdom. The Accord also formed a true alliance between New Galasia and The Angirisian Empire.

Fauna

Governance

The King/Queen

The King of New Galasia was the Kingdom's head of state. He enjoyed limited powers in New Galasia's semi-constitutional government.

The Viceroy

The title of Viceroy was a dynastic title which was granted to the heir apparent to the New Galasian monarch, although the failure to be granted the title did not affect the rights to royal succession. The title was not only granted to the royal heir apparent as a personal honour or dignity, but it gave the Viceroy limited constitutional powers on the Principality of Eastmarch, of which the Viceroy was the nominal head of state. The last Viceroy was Arcturus Neretus, only son of King Neberen, who was murdered in a terrorist attack in Eastmarch in 1579.

The Kingdom of New Galasia

The Kingdom of New Galasia was divided into two regions that were separated from one another by the Angirisian Empire; Drazen to the west, with a verdant coastline, and Eastmarch to the east, a rural and impoverished region. Until 16th century only the Royal family, and their aids were allowed easy passage across Angiris territory. With the advent of flight though travel became increasingly easy between the two halves of the Kingdom. Of course this ease of travel did little to change the cultural variety that existed within the Kingdom.

Drazen

The region of Drazen was officially ruled by the King or Queen of New Galasia, with the elected Viceroy being the real ruler of the region. Drazen hosted its own senate that voted on bills to become laws of the region, of course these laws had to be signed or vetoed by the Viceroy. The region had several large mountains near the center, a large verdant coastline, a wide variety of forests and woods that cover the region. Drazen was more populated and fairly wealthy and was much more developed technologically, most of the population living in one of the two major cities of Drazen: Alsace or Rhine. Drazen had a wide variety of industries and jobs, a major one being the gambling and tourism industry.

Legend states that Drazen was the homeland of the great hero of New Galasia, King Arcturus, who was elected to deification by the Olydist Church. He was so loved within the capital of Alsace pictures, statues, and billboards with his image are quite common.

Eastmarch

The Principality of Eastmarch was officially ruled over by the Crown Prince or Princess of New Galasia, with the elected Viceroy aiding in his/her duties. Eastmarch had its own senate that voted on bills to become laws of the region, of course these laws had to be signed or vetoed by the Viceroy. The region of Eastmarch had a very small population compared to Drazen, with most of its population living in either Eastmarch or Nova Taria. The land was fairly fertile, with rocky outcropping being quite common, as well as thick woods and forests. The land was lightly hilly, with no mountains within its borders. The people who didn't live in the major cities enjoyed a rural lifestyle, working on their farms and keeping the faith.

Demographics

Religion

For much of the history of New Galasia, religion was one of the few uniting aspects of the people. When Ostrid Messinism entered the region that is known as Drazen the native faith were suppressed, many followers of the old faith were able to hide out in the more rural countryside, allowing it to survive the persecution. Over the centuries scholars, and common folk found the old religion intriguing. The stories of the gods having survived thanks in part to the Ostrid church, and part due to it being passed on through small rural communities where the faith eked out an existence. Eventually the people of New Galasia grew dissatisfied with the Empire of Angiris, but the Ostrid faith itself. Olydism became the unifying faith of the people of Drazen as they sought to reform their ancient nation from the ruins of the pastm they sought the reformation of the Empire of Galasia.

Olyndism

Modern Olyndism is a fusion of the traditional beliefs and practices of the Dagrin peoples, restructured according to Messanic hierarchy. Many of the duties of the Theoi and Megalitheoi coincide with the duties that the Ostrid church once provided to the people. Olyndism focuses on a votive faith to the Thirteen Gods of Olyndia. Major aspects of the faith are that sin does not exist, instead there is miasma, or mortal actions. These acts are anything that is necessary for life, the creation of life, or the removal of life. When you have miasma you must cleanse yourself before seeking out the gods and giving them votive offerings. As such Olyndism emphasises cleanliness, and healthy living. The greatest fault of man is Hubris to Olyndism, no man is a god, and no man is a child of a god, all men are men, and all men are mortal, only the gods are eternal. Those who seek immortality, see themselves as greater than the gods, or worship man will be punished and sent to Etaque, or the Burning Pits, until they are cleansed of Hubris. All men must face judgement by the God Uthrel, lord of the afterlife, and three destinations await; Etaque, Comata, and Eteressia, where they shall recover from their past life before they are reincarnated.

Nearly 80% of the population of New Galasia follow the Olyndism religion, the faith itself being one of the major unifiers of the nation. The people in Eastmarch are perhaps the strongest adherents to the teachings of Olyndism, and are also some of the most conservative politically, viewing the religion as the centerpiece of the nation. In Drazen the religion is still important, but it is less strictly followed, the people in Drazen are also more open to separation of church and state.

Daienism

Ahkidism

Immigration

Culture

The culture of New Galasia was one dedicated to the past, to understanding, and to looking inward. New Galasians were a very spiritual people, dedicated to the thirteen gods, and dedicated to building a nation as great as their predecessors. While their dreams of conquest have gone by the wayside, their ideals of Democracy, and being a shining beacon of freedom have not. Many New Galasians seek to further their knowledge, many having degrees in History, Linguistics, Religious Studies, and Philosophy. Those who focus their studies on the 'spiritual' and 'humanitarian' aspects of education often have minors in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) fields, while those who have majors in STEM fields often have minors in one of the Humanities or Spiritual fields. The balance of mind and body is key to many aspects of New Galasain culture, especially in the Drazen. Eastmarch has a more martial and military focus. Education is still key but they focus more on Military Science, and Physical Training degrees in conjunction with Humanitarian fields.

Drazen Culture

The people of Drazen are surprisingly liberal, and are a very sociable people. They hold the values of Freedom, Democracy, and Education as pillars that civilization stands on. Most Drazen people have at minimum an associates degree, with many having bachelor degrees thanks to free college education. The people of Drazen will go out of their way to learn new things, often partaking of foreign concepts, and breaking them down in philosophical debates in the large Forums that dot the cities of Drazen. Art is another free flowing commodity of the Drazen region, with scientists, engineers, and mathematicians often being some of the more prolific artists of the region. The large focus on the blending of the Humanities with STEM education has driven Drazen to heights of prosperity, and the people show it in their attitude.

Eastmarch Culture

Where Drazen is liberal, Eastmarch is conservative. They are an insular people who focus mostly on communing with the divine through long held traditions and rituals. They hold the ideals of Loyalty, Duty, and Honor as the pillars that civilization stands on. Most people that live in Eastmarch have gone through the Military Academy and have served their required one year military service to New Galasia, many having enjoyed a tour of duty in Drazen. College Education is free to Eastmarchers, as it is to Drazenites, but they tend to focus more on Military or justice educations, with side focuses on the humanities. Art is something that is semi-common in Eastmarch, but it tends to be kept within the family, or within Military Academies. Their focus on Duty and Loyalty has driven them to be an industrious people, and their labor has given New Galasia greater strength.

The Military of New Galasia was one that is best seen as divided into three branches, each with a specific job and duty to the support of the overall goal of the military. The Conscriptus, The Legion, and the Administarium were the three so called branches with the Conscriptus being the largest man power wise, and the legion having the most technological aspects. The three branches were abolished by the Council of National Unity in 1581, however, being merged and reorganised as the Galasian Armed Forces, which existed until the Second Galasian-Angirisian War.

The Conscriptus

All physically capable citizens of The Kingdom of New Galasia served a one year term in the Conscriptus. The basic training lasted three months and focused on the military doctrine of overwhelming manpower, and a willingness to die for the defense of home and country. After a member of the Conscriptus completed their one year term they returned to the general population with access to free college, free healthcare, and the understanding that they could be recalled to service at a moments notice until they are 35 years of age. The Conscriptus had only ever been recalled for national defense, and it had only occurred a few times in history. Since a vast majority of the population of New Galasia were considered to be activatable the Conscriptus was the largest of the branches and easily the most plentiful when it came to sheer manpower.

The Legion

Where the Conscriptus had sheer manpower, and ease of access to new recruits, the legion was more specialized. When a member joined the legion they made their first career decision, they would join either the Sea Legion, Air Legion, and Ground Legion. Each Legion acted as what other nations refered to as the Marines, Navy, and Airforce. To join the Legion a citizen should first complete their duty with the Conscriptus with an honorable discharge. Upon joining the legion they would go to a new basic traing that all parts of the legion share. This basic training lasted for one year, and ended with a two month long exercise to put the new Legionnaires skills to the test. Upon completing their training they would then go to a six month branch school depending on which legion they joined. Service to the legion lasted twenty-five years, and a retirement was granted at the end of service to the Legion. Joining the Legion was a career decision, and all members of the Legion were professionals and specialists in their fields.

The Administarium

The Administarium acted as the logistics, medical, and spiritual support staff for the Conscriptus and the Legion. To join the Administarium you had first complete you service to the Conscriptus with an honorable discharge. When you joined the Administarium you would select you specialty school; Engineering, Medical, Logistics, Administrative, Spiritual Support, etc. Upon selecting that you would be sent to training that would last from two months to two years depending on the job. You would serve the Administarium for a thirty year period with a retirement granted at the end of your service to the Administarium.

-Dagroth has held a long tradition of Monarchism and nobility rule, with a fairly militant, and conservative rule the nation has not had to deal with the rise of a democratic faction. The Empire possesses an Absolute Monarchy, who is served by the various Praetors, and Dominai. The Emperor/Empress is considered the sole owner of all of the land within Dagroth, but the Praetors and Dominai rule in their stead. This has led to many Praetors to seek more land by proving that the other families do not deserve to rule it, often through military means.
 ==History==
-The History of Dagroth is rich and bloody, as it is a nation forged by the fires of war, and the blood of the devout. Those who have served the various families of the Empire know this to be true, and they can trace their lineage back to many battlefields, and to many heroes.
+In 1002 the people of Drazen declared a crusade to reform the Galasian Empire, these New Galasians were responsible for the assassination of Angirisian Emperor Arius IV in 1002, sparking the Third Civil War.

In return to the end of the two hundred year cold war they were granted ease of access to each half of their nation through Angirian lands.
+===The New Galasian Crusade===
-===Early History===
+''1002-1039''
+In the year 1002 a lord in Drazen is said to have been visited by the Old Gods commanding him to reforge Galasia, and push out the foreign Gods that now dominated their lands. This lord began to unify those who sought a return to the old ways, of a democratic society that was protected by a King, not dominated by an Emperor. This Lord is now known to us as King Arcturus, the first King of New Galasia, and the founder of the Galasian Crusades. As he built his powerbase and subjugated those who opposed the will of the Gods he began to take command of several local Angiris Legions. With these troops, and the support of the people of Drazen the newly crowned King Arcturus began the initial preperation for the upcoming war.
-===Independent Kingdoms===
-Before the Empire of Dagroth existed the region was dominated by dozens of Minor Kingdoms. There original borders are still used today to separate the various Imperial Provinces. Kingdoms rose and fell in quick succession, some united, others divided. With the hundreds of Kingdoms that existed during this period, and many lasting less then ten years it has become hard to keep track of them all. The ten that would one day unify and create the Empire though did not exist until the last century of the Independent Kingdoms Era. OF these many Kingdoms only two remain intact,The Kingdom of Korvain, now known as the Empire of Dagroth, and the Kingdom of Ashford, now known as the Grand Kingdom of [[Ashford]].
-===Rise of the Korvain===
-In the year 775 The Kingdom of Korvain was founded by a lesser son of King Herald Kroviun. Reginald Kroviun changed his name to Korvain upon the founding of his new kingdom high in the Malik Mountains, with the capital near Mount Krenlow. He had worked hard to gather together some of the greatest knights in the land, and with them now serving him he began the hard work of expanding his power and influence in a world of chaos and blood.
-In the year 781 Reginald Korvain had doubled the size of his Kingdom by unifying smaller barbarian tribes under his power, and by giving safe haven to refugees. As his power base and population grew several nearby kingdoms began to take notice of this new and growing threat, but others began to see it as an opportunity.
-In the year 785 Reginald Korvain married Allysa Craein, the elder daughter of the Craein King, allying the two Kingdoms. When the Craien were under siege by another Kingdom Reginald offered to help, but only if they swore to serve him as a part of his growing Kingdom. Jerid Craein refused, and soon found a Korvain Host marching against his Kingdom as well. Jarid Craien sent his heir, and a host to repel the Korvain army, only to see his heir die in a duel and his army surrender. Jarid Craein swore fealty, and his home was successfully defended by the new and more powerful Kingdom.
-===Unification Era===
-===A New Empire===
-On May 15th 1159 the various Kingdoms of Dagroth had been unified under the Korvain Family as the Empire of Dagroth. The new Emperor called forth one leader from nine of the previous kingdoms to the top of Mount Krenlow. The leaders arrived, and swore fealty before the new Emperor, he thus declared them the first Praetors of the Empire, and each would be granted one ninth of the Empire to rule over in his name. Beyond this each one would have to send a delegation of no less then three to meet with the Emperor four times a year at the Imperial Assembly.
-It was from this basic design that the Empire has developed and thrived. After five years (1164) the Renves Family led a revolution against the Emperor. The retaliation from the united Empire saw the Renves family squashed beneath the united forces of the various houses. The lands that were once owned by the Renves family were divided between the Fenix and the Scairp. After the revolution was quashed in the year 1167 The Emperor commanded the formation of the Imperial Knights, and required each house to send up five hundred knights to serve in the new Knighthood.
-In the year 1178 the Praetor of the Helren Family declared to be an independent Kingdom, recalling his knights from the Imperial Capital. This was called the second revolution, and it was followed with even greater brutality then the first. All members of the Helren Family were killed, eradicating the bloodline. The Capall and Lowe families split the lands of the Helren Family. The Foiche Family had been the ones to capture the castle of the Helren Family, and they were granted rulership of several small islands off the coast of the Empire, becoming the first Independent Holding.
-===Foiche War===
-In the year 1184 The Foiche began to recruit mercenaries from beyond the seas to help in forming their armies. The Kóri Family that serves the Foiche was formed from several of these mercenaries who had married local Foiche Islanders. With the new forces from beyond the sea, and the Ambition to become a Great House the Foiche set their sights on the other Dagrin islands, seeking to bring them under their control.
-The year 1189 saw the first Foiche invasion of Fenix controlled islands. The Fenix family viewed this as a precursor to a sea based invasion from the northern part of their realm. They were surprised when the Cynebald Family suddenly revolted from them in the south, with the aid of Foiche forces they gained a large swath of land near the coast. With this the Foiche War began.
-saw the most fighting during the war as the Foiche had allied with the Scairp and Craein Families, and the Fenix allied with the Nathair and the Lowe Families. With nearly half of the Empire fighting over a section of coastline, and the nearby fertile fields production of trade-able resources dropped to nearly zero.
-The Foiche were one of the few Families who maintained efficient trade routes, and had access to trade-able resources through Craein Lands. This allowed them to blockade Fenix ports, maintain control of the islands, and prove their worth to the Emperor.
-On August 16th 1191 Emperor Scarig Korvain ended the war by calling together an emergency session of the Imperial Assembly. In the assembly he recognized the Foiche Family as having proven their strength and worth in battle, granting them dominion over all Dagrin Islands, and of a swath of coastline that once belonged to the Fenix Clan. He also ascended the Dominus Jirin Foiche to the position of Praetor of the Foiche, the first to be ascended post unification.
-===The Warring States===
-The Warring State Era saw the sudden escalation of violence and warfare between the various Great Families. It led to the sudden rise of Independent Holdings as people proved their worth in battle, and as ways to end unnecessary conflict between various parties. Many wars occurred in rapid succession of one another, and sometimes at the same time as one another, this marks the longest period of strife within the Empire during its history.

-====Capall Nathair War====
-===[[The Three Emperors]]===
-The Three Emperors was an Era of warfare between the three inheritors of the Imperial Throne of Dagroth as the previous Emperor had divided it among the three instead of traditionally leaving it to the first born. The war split the Empire into three factions with each of the Emperors proposing a specific way to continue the Empire. The Red Dragon sought the formation of a Imperial Republic, where the people would elect representatives to the Imperial Assembly, in addition to the representatives from each Praetorate, she also wanted to grant the Independent Holdings a representative on the Imperial Assembly. The Green Dragon sought to create more mobility between the commoners and the nobility, hoping to stir the commoners to his side, as well as create a stronger bond with all people of the Empire. The Green Dragon even married a commoner to prove his dedication to his ideals. Finally the Black Dragon sought to maintain the statuesque, and ensure that only the first born son would inherit the position of lordship in the future. The Red Dragon was assassinated by Scairp who were loyal to the Black Dragon, and the Green Dragon ended up being defeated due to betrayal from the Capall Family. The Black Dragon became the Emperor of Dagroth and cast his brother out from the Empire. The war lasted from 1231 until 1240 when the Green Dragon surrendered to his brother.
-===The Fallen Prince===
-When the Green Dragon Emperor, Revaric Korvain, surrendered to the Black Dragon Emperor, Mal Korvain, he was stripped of his titles and forced to leave the nation by foot with no supplies. He began calling himself the Fallen Prince as he wandered the Empire, slowly gathering dishonored knights and nobles. In the year 1259 after traveling the nation for nearly twenty years, as a drifter, he departed to lands unknown.
-During this time period he forged himself a new minor kingdom, [[Driaz Kore]], in the foreign kingdom of [[Ashford]] with his army of fallen lords, and the aid of local mercenaries. He took on a new name, Spinne, meaning spider, and swore one day his family would have a place in the Empire. He used a spy network within the Empire, and within his new home, to slowly build a web that would make his return that much easier.
-Revaric Spinne died far from his homeland, and his only son knew little in the ways of war. His son would never see the homeland of his father, it would be the grandson of Revaric Spinne, Derin Spinne, who would lead the invasion of Dagroth.
-===Spinne Invasion===
+In 1004 the Galasian Crusade began, the initial attacks tested defenses outside of Drazen. Shortly after ensuring their forces could drive deep into Angiris controlled territory the New Galasian forces captured Lut Gholein, and held off the legions in Aranoch, eventually conquering it in 1009. They quickly moved their forces through Ohaie and Conquered it in the year 1013, and southern Virginium fell soon after in 1014. The war sat at a stalemate with the borders changing very little until 1027 when Angiris forces launched a naval attack on Lut Gholein, destroying part of the city. The Legion forces were defeated, but at a cost. King Arcturus died in the fighting and his son Prince Aegeus was crowned the new King of New Galasia. He worked to rebuild the devestated legions, as well as seek an advantage in the stalemated war. Under his command he began the construction of a new fleet in Lut Gholein.
-After nearly fifty years of developing and growing the Kingdom of Driaz Kore began its invasion of Dagroth in the year 1305. They used their connection with several provincial lords to gain ground throughout Capall and Loew lands without having to unsheathe a sword. These provincial lords swore their lands, swords, and men to the Spinne Family, viewing King Aeldric Spinne as the true heir to the throne of Dagroth. Within a year the Driaz Kore forces had doubled their holdings in Dagroth, as well as pushed further into Ashford territory. This sudden increase in size, as well as the betrayal of several prominent provincial lords was a shock to the Empire, which was still recovering from the war of the Three Emperors.
+In the year 1035 New Galasia completed their fleet in Lut Gholein and began preparing to begin the naval invasion of Westmarch. At the same time they had prepared an army to march through Kehjistan and take Khurast. The naval forces besieged Westmarch with the bulk of its forces, landing another smaller group further west. The New Galasian forces that had marched through Kehjistan were defeated by Angiris Legion forces in the area, fresh from Caldeum. In the year 1036 the siege was lifted as the New Galasian forces were forced back by the main legion. They moved north and captured Tristram and part of the Khanduras Territory, utilizing it to prepare for a counter offensive. The New Galasian forces held Tristam for nearly six moths before they were summarily defeated by the legions of Angiris. The defeat at Tristram led to the quick defeat of most of the remaining New Galasian forces that held Aranoch, Ohaie, and parts of Virginium. By the time the Legions arrived near Drazen, and Eastmarch both forces were greatly exhausted. The battle of Candlemas was the bloodiest battle in the war, the death toll being the cause of ceasefire as both forces had lost their taste for the war.
-The Driaz Kore conquered nearly half of Ashford, granting the, access to important mineral reserves, as well as a strong industrial base. This strength would be mixed with the fertile lands they now ruled in Dagroth as a way of increasing its military strength. The Driaz Kore quickly conscripted members of the peasantry all the while whispering in their ears dreams of power and grandeur. Emperor Aelrick Korvain called together the Imperial Knights, as well as calling the various houses to prepare for war against these invaders. The Driaz Kore was hit by the Imperial Knight forces within the year, but the aid the Emperor called from the houses was delayed by the winter storms and the deep mountains most would have to pass through. Fighting during winter was not uncommon within Dagroth, but it was still something most soldiers dreaded leading to low morale, and high casualties for those traveling to halt the invaders.
+===The Ceasefire of Candlemas===
+''1039-1235''
-By the time the thaw arrived in the spring of 1306 nearly half of the Imperial Knights were dead, and their reinforcements were greatly dwindled by the harsh winter, one of the harshest in history. The Driaz Kore, since they were a much smaller nation, had focused on building up defenses around the lands they now dominated, for the first time they had the capability of holding back the rage of an Empire. All the while slowly taking more and more land in Ashford. Seeing this Emperor Aelrick Korvain called together an Imperial Assembly, while his forces continued to fight. This became the most important Imperial Assembly of the war as it dictated the strategy for victory, as well as laid the ground work for a future alliance with the Kingdom of Ashford.
+With the massive loss of life, for both sides of the war at the battle of Candlemas a ceasefire was negotiated by King Aegeus, with New Galasia maintaining control of Drazen and Eastmarch. While this saw them lose a great deal of the land they held just ten years earlier it allowed for the fledgling nation a chance to recover. One of the terms of the ceasefire was that all people who wished to live in New Galasia, or in Angiris not be barred for the first three years, allowing those who were loyal to either side to live amongst their peers without fear of repercussions. This saw a massive increase in the population of both Drazen and Eastmarch within a short period of time.
-In 1307 King Aeldric Spinne formed the Ursler Family from a group of mercenaries who joined the Driaz Kore ten years earlier. This family was given control of the Central region of Driaz Kore controlled territory, where the capital of the Driaz Kore sat. They were to be the defenders of the heart of the Kingdom, as well as the reinforcements to any of the front whenever the king would call them forth. This caveat would lead to many issues in the following years.
+The first ten years of the ceasefire saw the nation develop improved infrastructure to allow for the increase population, as well as reform their greatly devastated legions. With only a few survivors from the war most of the legion was seen as 'green' with no major training or skill in arms. The veterens of the crusade saw themselves quickly increased in rank, position, and responsibility to allow for hte newer recruits to learn from them. During this time period border skirmishes were common as the leaders of both sides would claim control over villages that were near the borders. Throughout this time period the leaders of New Galasia held onto their claim to nearly half of the Angiris Empire, but bidded their time for their chance to reclaim their lost lands.
-While the Driaz Kore had gained land quickly thanks to political scheming, manipulation, and a sudden strike into the Empire, they were beginning to have a hard time holding it by the year 1309. King Aeldric Spinne had been injured in a fight with a Foiche force that struck at their small shoreline holdings. With the King in a weakened state the Driaz Kore force decided it was time to move north against the now split Capall forces, all in the hope of bringing an end to the three fronted war. While the move north happened quickly, they lost the southern lands they had held for years almost as quickly. The Provincial Lords who had served at the onset of the war quickly saw their lands being devastated by Imperial forces as the Driaz Kore focused on the northenr expansion. These lords soon found themselves without reinforcements, without troops, and soon without their heads. While the current leaders of the Spinne family saw conquering the north as a huge voctory, they failed to see just how much land they had lost, and how many leaders had perished seeking to hold onto it.
+For nearly 200 years the two nations maintained this tenuous ceasefire, but in the end it was the cries from the poor region of Eastmarch, having been forced to become self-sufficient to survive, that led to the signing of the Angiris Accords. The accords recognized New Galasia as an independent nation, consisting of the regions of Drazen and Eastmarch, it allowed for the people of New Galasia travel between Draen and Eastmarch through Angiris without harassment. It also meant that New Galasia would resind all claims to Angiris lands outside of their currently accepted borders. These accords were met with mixed opinions by members from both sides, but they were lauded internationally as a great step towards peace in the region. The Angiris Accords were signed by Queen Itys of New Galasia and Emperor (something) of Angiris in the year 1235, bringing an official end to the war.
-By the year 1312 The Driaz Kore maintained control of the northern land of Dagroth but saw a large number of their forces defeated in the south. Emperor Aelrick Korvain opened strategic negotiations with the Kingdom of Ashford, officially unifying the two nations against the upstart kingdom of Driaz Kore. Near the end of the year King Aeldric Spinne gathered together his personal retainer, and reinforcements from house Ursler in an attempt to reclaim the southern lands they had lost. It was during this battle that the King was killed with no heir apparent, as well as several of the leaders of house Ursler. With the death of the head of house Spinne and the lack of faith House Ursler and House Heinrick had in the current commanders of House Spinne chaos loomed. The leaders of House Spinne fought amongst themselves for who would be the new King, meanwhile House Heinrick, and house Ursler began to feel the pressure of Ashfords assaults without the aid of the Spinne family.
+===The End of the Crusade===
+''1235-1456''
-House Ursler and House Heinrick both seceded from the Driaz Kore, declaring their fealty to Queen Sarillia Kroviun of Ashford in the year 1315. Declaring their intent to help her reunify her nation, and bring an end to the war. Around the same time a Major Lord of House Spinne swore his fealty to Emperor Aelrick Korvain, recognizing him as the only viable heir to the Kingdom of Driaz Kore. This Lord secreted his forces out of Spinne controlled land, and met up with a Loew force. The two forces worked together to break the Spinne Lines, and bring the Spinne lands back under Imperial Control.
+With the Crusade being over and for the first time in two-hundred years people from Eastmarch and Drazen being able to easily interact with each other the nation found itself entering a bit of a golden age. The people of Drazen focused greatly on the advancement of philosophy, and seeking to understand both the mundane and the divine, meanwhile the people of Eastmarch sought to perfect martial combat now that they had access to knowledge from around the world thanks to ease of movement. The two regions quickly began to see just how different they had become over the two hundred years, with only their dedication to the resurrection of ancient Galasian virtues unifying their change.
-===Imperial Reformation===
+New Galasia became a bit of a trading hub thanks to it location at the mouth of the Angirisian Gulf, prior to Angiris proper. This location allowed them to bring in trade that their northern neighbors may be less inclined to accept.
-By the year 1316 the Driaz Kore had ceased to exist as a unified force and the Empire was reeling from the blow. With the Spinne forces subjugated their came a concern as to what would happen to them, as well as which family would receive the lands the Spinne had ruled. The land was in chaos millions dead on both sides, Imperial forces heavily weakened, and Spinne holdouts still remaining throughout the region. Emperor Aelrick Korvain had overseen the war, all ten years of it, all the while knowing that the Empire would never be the same. He called forth an Imperial Assembly, with three representatives from each Praetorate, one from each Independent Holding, as well as three from the Spinne controlled lands. Amongst the Spinne delegates was Lord Merik Spinne, the Lord who had sworn fealty to Aelrick a year earlier. Many of the representatives were outraged that the Spinne had been invited to the Imperial Assembly, but the Emperor would have none of it, silencing them by speaking aloud. It was uncommon for an Emperor to speak to his subjects, as they were considered to be the living will of the Empire, and their voice to pure for mortal men to hear.
+===Modern New Galasia===
+[[File:New Galasia new Borders.png|thumbnail|right|The new borders of New Galasia post Angiris-Galasian Accord.]]
+-Present
-Emperor Aelrick Korvain dismissed his Voice, the member of the court who spoke on his behalf, and instead addressed the whole of the Assembly. This was the beginning of what are now called the Imperial Reforms. Some of the major changes was the integration of the Spinne Family as one of the Great Families of the Empire, granting them control of a vast swath of land that they had conquered, they were assigned as defenders of the far north, a duty that Merik Spinne took as a sacred duty. The next change was the end of their isolation, an isolation that had started back when Emperor Mal Korvain ascended the throne in 1239. The Emperor also created a unified military, instead of one that was divided up between the various Praetorates, each Praetorate would have its own 'reserve' force that could be called to war by the Imperial Armed Forces as needed. The Grand Knight of the Imperial Knights would act as the Commander of all Military forces, second only to the Emperor/Empress of Dagroth. Emperor Aelrick Korvain declared that daughters who are of the direct bloodline of the Emperor have the same right to rule as sons, and that the first born child would be heir to the throne, regardless of gender from then on. Modernization became perhaps the single most important part of the Assembly. The Empire would no longer lag behind technologically because of tradition, instead the Empire would seek to be at the forefront of technological development.
+The Angiris-Galasian Accord was signed on  27 Zechyr 1576 CE and changed the shape of New Galasia. With the accord being signed New Galasia suddenly found itself with a small region that unified the two long separated halves of the Kingdom. The Accord also formed a true alliance between New Galasia and [[Angirisian_Empire|The Angirisian Empire]].
-The Empire was united, and the Praetorates capability to wage war on each other was greatly weakened, or so was the belief. The Emperor now had taken upon himself even greater amounts of authority and power, all in the hopes of maintaining peace and prosperity within the Empire. Over the next few years tension within the Empire became palpable as many of the Praetors saw what the Emperor had done as a direct insult to their own rule, he had stripped them of power, authority, and military might, something that had never occurred in the history of Dagroth. The Scairp Family was the most insulted, having served as the vanguard of the Black Dragon Emperor during the War of Dragons, now they felt as though all they fought for was wasted. This feeling of treachery would lead to the start of the Dagroth Civil War.
+==Geography==
-===[[Dagroth Civil War]]===
-The Dagroth Civil War lasted from the year 1325-1400, lasting for a total of 75 years. The war saw the Nine Praetorates, the Eleven Independent Regions, and the Imperial Families all be destroyed. It was the bloodiest war in Dagrin History. The war led to the rise of the Five Great Houses that now rule Dagroth, as well as the formation of a New Imperial Assembly that oversees the creation of laws within the Empire and the election of a new Emperor when the previous dies or abdicates the throne. The days of an Imperial dynasty ended with the eradication of the Korvain family due to their assassination by the Scairp Family.
-===Modern Dagroth===
-==Geography, Flora, and Fauna==
-The Empire of Dagroth is a mostly coastal nation, to the south forests dominate the land before the snowy mountains rise up to the North. The North West is a large highland plains region that gets most of its water from the mountains to the south of it. The Empire is of a mostly Temperate climate with coastal rains during the winters, and harsh snow storms inland during the same time. The nation is often struck with many large storms per year due to its location, this has made the region very lush and diverse in flora.
-===Geography===
 ===Flora===
 ===Fauna===
-==Economy of Dagroth==
 ==Governance==
-The Empire is divided into the Imperial District and five Praetorates. Each Praetorate is controlled by one Great House. The Imperial District is controlled and protected by the current Imperial Family, who all serve the Emperor or Empress of Dagroth directly. The nation is further divided into two-hundred and seventy-five Provinces. The Emperor/Empress is decided at the Imperial Assembly, a gathering of the Great Houses representatives, ten each, to the Craigstead Castle in Rioga. The Great Moot decides who among the Great Houses shall ascend the throne and become the new Emperor/Empress. Before the Dagroth Civil War the Emperor/Empress was always a member of the Korvain family, but with the extinction of the family the Great Houses that survived the war came to a compromise to keep the Empire united.
-===The Emperor/Empress===
+===The King/Queen===
-[[Emperors of Dagroth|List of Imperial Rulers]]
-The Emperor/Empress is elected from among the members of one of the Great Families by the Imperial Assembly upon the death or abdication of the previously reigning monarch. The Imperial Assembly will be called to order by the Voice of the Emperor/Empress of the now deceased or abdicated Emperor/Empress. The Imperial Assembly will then hold a vote for the new Emperor/Empress of Dagroth from all living members of the Great Houses who must receive 3/4ths of the Imperial Assemblies vote. If after voting no single member of the Korvain Family has 3/4ths of the vote, those family members with either no votes, or with less than 1/10th of the votes are removed from the process. If after a second vote there still is not singular choice the lowest will be removed, this will continue until there is a 3/4ths vote for one member. Members from the Great Houses may drop out of the election at any time, so long as there is at least one other member still in the voting process.
+The King of New Galasia was the Kingdom's head of state. He enjoyed limited powers in New Galasia's semi-constitutional government.
-The Emperor/Empress acts as the head of the Imperial Assembly and is the only individual within the Empire who may declare war, pass resolution into law for the entire empire, issue imperial decrees, acts as the head of all foreign relations, and appoint all Imperial Bureaucratic positions. The Emperor/Empress is one of two members of the government who can call forth an Imperial Assembly, the other being the Voice of the Emperor/Empress.
+===The Viceroy===
-===Voice of the Emperor/Empress===
+The title of Viceroy was a dynastic title which was granted to the heir apparent to the New Galasian monarch, although the failure to be granted the title did not affect the rights to royal succession. The title was not only granted to the royal heir apparent as a personal honour or dignity, but it gave the Viceroy limited constitutional powers on the Principality of Eastmarch, of which the Viceroy was the nominal head of state. The last Viceroy was Arcturus Neretus, only son of King Neberen, who was murdered in a terrorist attack in Eastmarch in 1579.
-The Voice of the Emperor/Empress is selected from among the Imperial Assembly upon the ascension of the Emperor/Empress by the Emperor/Empress. The Emperor/Empress may remove the Voice at their discretion, and may select any member of the Imperial Assembly to replace them at a moments notice. The duties of the Voice of the Emperor/Empress is simple, they shall call to order all meetings of the Imperial Assembly, they may vote on the Assembly, and should the Emperor/Empress be indisposed they shall act as the Emperor/Empress. During the election of a new Emperor/Empress the voice will act in all respects as the Emperor/Empress except in the case of declaring war, that power will be granted to the Grand Knight of the Empire, in addition the Voice may not dismiss the current Grand Knight, nor select a Voice for themselves.
-===The Imperial Assembly===
-The Imperial Assembly consists of ten members from each of the Great Houses. The Imperial Assembly meets regularly every quarter in the capital city of Torman, though additional meeting may be called by the Emperor/Empress or the Voice of the Emperor/Empress. The main duties of the Imperial Assembly is the creation and passing of resolutions for the Emperor/Empress to sign into law or to veto the resolution. The Imperial Assembly also acts as an advisory council to the Emperor/Empress when called upon to act as such. The Imperial Assembly is responsible to elect from among their membership a new Emperor/Empress should be previous die or Abdicate the throne. The Imperial Assembly, with 7/8ths of the vote, may demand the Emperor/Empress abdicate the throne. If this occurs the Emperor/Empress is stripped of all titles and power, returns to their original Great House, and an election should begin immediately. This demand for abdication has never happened within the history of Dagroth.
-=== The Former Imperial Families ===
+===The Kingdom of New Galasia===
-The Imperial Families ruled over the Imperial District of Rioga. The region is located deep inside of the Malik Mountains, making it one of the harshest regions to live, often wracked by freezing snow storms during winter. The Capital city of Chathair Impiriúil, or Torman in the common tongue, is located at the center of the Rioga Region, and hosts Craigstead Castle where the Korvain Family ruled the Empire from. The Korvain Dynasty ruled the Empire from 1159 until their eradication in 1325 for a total of one hundred and sixty-six years. Before they ruled the Empire though they had ruled there own kingdom from the year 775, having split off from the Kroviun family who still rule Ashford.
-* '''Korvain:''' The Korvain Family were once the Greatest Family among the Great Families who lived within the region now known as The Empire of Dagroth. Through their use of Military force, alliances, and marriage agreements they united the many great families within the area and forged the Empire. They gave up their claims to almost all of the lands, and put their now subservient Great Families to oversee the land in their name. The Korvain Family had acted as the mediators for the various disputes of the Great Families, as well as the ones who discussed various issues with foreign powers. They were assassinated during the night of Embers, just after the start of the Dagroth Civil War, by the Scairp Family.
+The Kingdom of New Galasia was divided into two regions that were separated from one another by the [[Angirisian Empire]]; Drazen to the west, with a verdant coastline, and Eastmarch to the east, a rural and impoverished region. Until 16th century only the Royal family, and their aids were allowed easy passage across Angiris territory. With the advent of flight though travel became increasingly easy between the two halves of the Kingdom. Of course this ease of travel did little to change the cultural variety that existed within the Kingdom.
-* '''Ásvaldr:''' One of the Original servants of the Korvain Family during the conquest. Many members served as stewards the the Throne, or acted as Magistrates who traveled the Empire ensuring the Emperors/Empresses will was being followed. They lead the Knight Emissaries of the Empire, and were feared by many throughout the Empire.
+====Drazen====
-* '''Hakarin:''' The Hakarin Family were a lesser family who ascended to an Imperial Family through marriage. They oversaw the day to day running of the Imperial Bureaucracy as well as the Imperial Capital of Chathair Impiriúil. Very rarely did they hold an office of significant power or authority.
+The region of Drazen was officially ruled by the King or Queen of New Galasia, with the elected Viceroy being the real ruler of the region. Drazen hosted its own senate that voted on bills to become laws of the region, of course these laws had to be signed or vetoed by the Viceroy. The region had several large mountains near the center, a large verdant coastline, a wide variety of forests and woods that cover the region. Drazen was more populated and fairly wealthy and was much more developed technologically, most of the population living in one of the two major cities of Drazen: Alsace or Rhine. Drazen had a wide variety of industries and jobs, a major one being the gambling and tourism industry.
-* '''Ignerias:''' The Ignerias Family served as the Emperors main military force during the conquest, after the war they served as the defenders of the Rioga Region, and as the foundations of the Imperial Knights. The Ignerias Family often held the position of Grand Knight of the Imperial Knights, thus overseeing its running and development.
+Legend states that Drazen was the homeland of the great hero of New Galasia, King Arcturus, who was elected to deification by the Olydist Church. He was so loved within the capital of Alsace pictures, statues, and billboards with his image are quite common.
-=== Praetorates ===
-Praetorates are large regions of land, often many provinces, that are ruled over by a Praetor who serves directly under the Emperor and rules over one of the five Great Houses. Praetors are in charge of defending, developing, taxing, and ruling over large swaths of land in the name of the Emperor of Empress of Dagroth. The lands that a Praetor rules over can also change if the Emperor or Empress so chooses, while it occurs rarely it does occur, often due to another Great Houses intervention.
-====Modern Praetorates/Great Houses====
-The Five Modern Praetorates are the remnants of the ancient great families of Dagroth, the empire is now divided into five regions, instead of the traditional nine. The 'Imperial' Family is whichever of the Great Houses has managed to place their leader on the throne, a constant battle of politics, assassinations, betrayals, alliances, and scheming being the primary methods of attaining the position.
-* '''Mourne''' The Mourne clan ascended during the Dagroth Civil War from among the Spinne family. They are descended from the peasants who first joined the Spinne during their reign of the Kingdom of Driaz Kore. House Mourne is well known for their ruthless tactics, drive, and their ambition to attain the throne of the Empire should it become vacant.
+====Eastmarch====
- The colors of House Mourn are Red, Black, and White.
- Their Symbol is a Black Dragon and a Red and White vertical divided background.
-* '''Ealdræd''' The only remaining family of the once mighty  Phortain family. They now rule the lands that the Photrain family once ruled, but instead of being cold and callous like their progenitors, House Ealdræd instead focuses on living lives of honor and duty, with a strong sense of justice and honor. House Ealdræd currently holds the throne of Dagroth.
+The Principality of Eastmarch was officially ruled over by the Crown Prince or Princess of New Galasia, with the elected Viceroy aiding in his/her duties. Eastmarch had its own senate that voted on bills to become laws of the region, of course these laws had to be signed or vetoed by the Viceroy. The region of Eastmarch had a very small population compared to Drazen, with most of its population living in either Eastmarch or Nova Taria. The land was fairly fertile, with rocky outcropping being quite common, as well as thick woods and forests. The land was lightly hilly, with no mountains within its borders. The people who didn't live in the major cities enjoyed a rural lifestyle, working on their farms and keeping the faith.
- The colors of House Ealdræd are White, Blue, and Red.
- Their Symbol is a White Stag on a Blue and Red quartered background.
-* '''Hemingr''' House Hemingr revolted from the Capall family when they saw their lords destroying the environment for victory, the betrayal of their allies, and enslavement of the common people, House Hemingr could not let this stand and revolted against their lords. Had House Hemingr not betrayed the Capall family much of the nation may never had recovered due to a lack of food, and natural resources.
+==Demographics==
- The colors of House Hemingr are Green, White, and Black.
- Their Symbol is a Black Wolf and a Green and White Horizontal divided background.

+===Religion===
- The Colors of House Arnórr are Black, Blue, and Green.
+For much of the history of New Galasia, religion was one of the few uniting aspects of the people. When Ostrid Messinism entered the region that is known as Drazen the native faith were suppressed, many followers of the old faith were able to hide out in the more rural countryside, allowing it to survive the persecution. Over the centuries scholars, and common folk found the old religion intriguing. The stories of the gods having survived thanks in part to the Ostrid church, and part due to it being passed on through small rural communities where the faith eked out an existence. Eventually the people of New Galasia grew dissatisfied with the Empire of Angiris, but the Ostrid faith itself. Olydism became the unifying faith of the people of Drazen as they sought to reform their ancient nation from the ruins of the pastm they sought the reformation of the Empire of Galasia.

+====''Olyndism''====
-The Dagroth Civil War was the largest war in the history of Dagroth, as well as the most brutal. Minor families left the services of major families, major families were irradicated, and the Imperial Family of Dagroth was wiped out by a Scairp coupe.
+Modern Olyndism is a fusion of the traditional beliefs and practices of the Dagrin peoples, restructured according to Messanic hierarchy. Many of the duties of the Theoi and Megalitheoi coincide with the duties that the Ostrid church once provided to the people. Olyndism focuses on a votive faith to the Thirteen Gods of Olyndia. Major aspects of the faith are that sin does not exist, instead there is miasma, or mortal actions. These acts are anything that is necessary for life, the creation of life, or the removal of life. When you have miasma you must cleanse yourself before seeking out the gods and giving them votive offerings. As such Olyndism emphasises cleanliness, and healthy living. The greatest fault of man is Hubris to Olyndism, no man is a god, and no man is a child of a god, all men are men, and all men are mortal, only the gods are eternal. Those who seek immortality, see themselves as greater than the gods, or worship man will be punished and sent to Etaque, or the Burning Pits, until they are cleansed of Hubris. All men must face judgement by the God Uthrel, lord of the afterlife, and three destinations await; Etaque, Comata, and Eteressia, where they shall recover from their past life before they are reincarnated.

+Nearly 80% of the population of New Galasia follow the Olyndism religion, the faith itself being one of the major unifiers of the nation. The people in Eastmarch are perhaps the strongest adherents to the teachings of Olyndism, and are also some of the most conservative politically, viewing the religion as the centerpiece of the nation. In Drazen the religion is still important, but it is less strictly followed, the people in Drazen are also more open to separation of church and state.

-===Independent Holdings===
-Independent Holdings existed in a unique space within the Empire. While the Rulers of these regions served the Emperor or Empress directly they did not have a voice in the Imperial Assembly. An Independent Holding consisted of a single Province that was ruled by a single noble family, the leaders of which were known as Dominus instead of Praetor. Independent Holdings were rarely formed, and were often created to honor a Hero, or to ensure the peace is kept within the Empire. The Dagroth Civil war saw the destruction of Independent holdings, and currently none exist.

The Capall enslaved them, and strip mined many of their resources during the Civil war.
-* '''Gealbhan:''' The Scairp assigned the Gealbhan Family to serve as the defenders of the Rioga District, as well as the personal assassins for the Emperor.

They were conquered by the Capall, granting the Capall easy access into Nathair lands during the Civil War.
-==Military==
-In ancient times the Dagrin Military was a widely divided force, with each Praetor having their own military that 'served' the Emperor of Dagroth. The Emperor had but a token force consisting of the Imperial Knights, which in turn consisted of soldiers from each of the Praetorates. When the Imperial reforms took place in 1316 that all changed, the military was unified under Imperial control, with the Praetorates being granted the right to 'reserves'. These reserves in truth act like a national guard force within the Praetorate.

 ==Culture==
+The culture of New Galasia was one dedicated to the past, to understanding, and to looking inward. New Galasians were a very spiritual people, dedicated to the thirteen gods, and dedicated to building a nation as great as their predecessors. While their dreams of conquest have gone by the wayside, their ideals of Democracy, and being a shining beacon of freedom have not. Many New Galasians seek to further their knowledge, many having degrees in History, Linguistics, Religious Studies, and Philosophy. Those who focus their studies on the 'spiritual' and 'humanitarian' aspects of education often have minors in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) fields, while those who have majors in STEM fields often have minors in one of the Humanities or Spiritual fields. The balance of mind and body is key to many aspects of New Galasain culture, especially in the Drazen. Eastmarch has a more martial and military focus. Education is still key but they focus more on Military Science, and Physical Training degrees in conjunction with Humanitarian fields.
-Dagroth is a nation where Personal and Familial Honor are considered paramount to ones life. To be one without honor is to have no place within society, but the code of honor within Dagroth is seemingly focused on the self, instead of on the whole of society. This is the perspective of an outsider looking in, Dagrin people view their honor code of one dedicated to bettering the community through the bettering of self. The code they follow is a rigid one that allows for very little room to slip up, and those that do often end up at the end of a sword. Control, Determination, Insight, Knowledge, Strength, Will, Perfection; these are the precepts of the code of honor among the Dagrin people, and they double as the national motto for the Empire.
+===Drazen Culture===
+The people of Drazen are surprisingly liberal, and are a very sociable people. They hold the values of Freedom, Democracy, and Education as pillars that civilization stands on. Most Drazen people have at minimum an associates degree, with many having bachelor degrees thanks to free college education. The people of Drazen will go out of their way to learn new things, often partaking of foreign concepts, and breaking them down in philosophical debates in the large Forums that dot the cities of Drazen. Art is another free flowing commodity of the Drazen region, with scientists, engineers, and mathematicians often being some of the more prolific artists of the region. The large focus on the blending of the Humanities with STEM education has driven Drazen to heights of prosperity, and the people show it in their attitude.
-===The Code of Virtue===
+===Eastmarch Culture===
+Where Drazen is liberal, Eastmarch is conservative. They are an insular people who focus mostly on communing with the divine through long held traditions and rituals. They hold the ideals of Loyalty, Duty, and Honor as the pillars that civilization stands on. Most people that live in Eastmarch have gone through the Military Academy and have served their required one year military service to New Galasia, many having enjoyed a tour of duty in Drazen. College Education is free to Eastmarchers, as it is to Drazenites, but they tend to focus more on Military or justice educations, with side focuses on the humanities. Art is something that is semi-common in Eastmarch, but it tends to be kept within the family, or within Military Academies. Their focus on Duty and Loyalty has driven them to be an industrious people, and their labor has given New Galasia greater strength.
-===Dueling===
+==Military==
-The Art of Dueling is a long held tradition within Dagroth, it has been a part of the Empire since before its founding. It is said the first duel occurred on the battlefield between a Korvain and a Craein. The two fought one on one for three hours before the Korvain leader won, the Craien Army surrendered with the death of their leader. Since this event duels have been one of the primary ways of ending a conflict with as little loss of life as possible. Over the years rules were created for dueling, and many types of duels were created as well.

-====Honor Duel====
+[[File:Female Dress Uniform.png|thumbnail|Female Dress Uniform of the Legion]]
-An Honor Duel often occurs when one person is shamed, or treated negatively by another. The one who was offended will then challenge the other to a duel to ensure that their honor is avenged. The challenged will select the location of the duel, but it must be within ten miles of the original challenging location. Each will select a melee weapon of their choice, no weapon longer then five feet is allowed in an Honor Duel. These duels are always to First Blood, and are thus much less lethal compared to most other duels.
+The Military of New Galasia was one that is best seen as divided into three branches, each with a specific job and duty to the support of the overall goal of the military. The Conscriptus, The Legion, and the Administarium were the three so called branches with the Conscriptus being the largest man power wise, and the legion having the most technological aspects. The three branches were abolished by the Council of National Unity in 1581, however, being merged and reorganised as the Galasian Armed Forces, which existed until the Second Galasian-Angirisian War.
-====Duel to the Death====
-A Duel to the Death often only occurs on the battlefield between two opposing leaders. These duels are often called outloud during a fight, and melee weapons are drawn and used immediately during the battle. The side that loses will often times surrender, allowing for less loss of life on both sides.
-====Trial by Combat====
-If a person is accused of a crime they may request a trial by combat. Traditionally only those of noble birth are allowed to be tried in this manner, but on a rare occasion a peasant will be allowed to do a Trial by Combat. The weapons may be any melee weapon under seven feet long, each may wear armor if they so choose, and the location will be within the 'courtyard'. A trial by combat is always to the death.
-===Music===
-Traditional Dagrin Music has a large emphasis on drums of various sizes and sounds. These drums were used as both signals during wars, as wars of giving order. The common use of drums soon evolved into part of the culture, as these war drums began varying in size and began to be used during training, and with specific aspects of warfare. Bells, and giant gongs were added to add more power to each strike, as well as increased the use of these drums in festivals.
-Traditional Dagrin Music is still played live all over the nation, especially in military training camps, and at festivals amog both the peasantry and nobility. The influence of various other cultures can be seen in the music often used by the nobility, as well as the increased interest in various modern forms of music.
-==International Relations==
-Dagroth has opened relations with a select few nations as well as opened embassies with even fewer. Dagroth does not recognize [[Monroe Republic]] as an independent nation, instead viewing it as a terrorist organization that occupies a region of [[Ashford]], because of this view relations with [[Carpathia and Moldova]] are strained at best.
-===Embassies===
-The Holy Lanlanian Empire has an Embassy in the capital city of Chathair Impiriúil. It was one of the first embassies that Dagroth opened in the capital.
-The Grand Kingdom of Ashford also has an Embassy in the capital of Chathair Impiriúil.
+===The Conscriptus===
+All physically capable citizens of The Kingdom of New Galasia served a one year term in the Conscriptus. The basic training lasted three months and focused on the military doctrine of overwhelming manpower, and a willingness to die for the defense of home and country. After a member of the Conscriptus completed their one year term they returned to the general population with access to free college, free healthcare, and the understanding that they could be recalled to service at a moments notice until they are 35 years of age. The Conscriptus had only ever been recalled for national defense, and it had only occurred a few times in history. Since a vast majority of the population of New Galasia were considered to be activatable the Conscriptus was the largest of the branches and easily the most plentiful when it came to sheer manpower.
-The Kingdom of Freesia maintains an Embassy in the capital of Chathair Impiriúil.
+===The Legion===
+Where the Conscriptus had sheer manpower, and ease of access to new recruits, the legion was more specialized. When a member joined the legion they made their first career decision, they would join either the Sea Legion, Air Legion, and Ground Legion. Each Legion acted as what other nations refered to as the Marines, Navy, and Airforce. To join the Legion a citizen should first complete their duty with the Conscriptus with an honorable discharge. Upon joining the legion they would go to a new basic traing that all parts of the legion share. This basic training lasted for one year, and ended with a two month long exercise to put the new Legionnaires skills to the test. Upon completing their training they would then go to a six month branch school depending on which legion they joined. Service to the legion lasted twenty-five years, and a retirement was granted at the end of service to the Legion. Joining the Legion was a career decision, and all members of the Legion were professionals and specialists in their fields.
-The Principality of Felis maintains an Embassy in the capital of Chathair Impiriúil.
+===The Administarium===
+The Administarium acted as the logistics, medical, and spiritual support staff for the Conscriptus and the Legion. To join the Administarium you had first complete you service to the Conscriptus with an honorable discharge. When you joined the Administarium you would select you specialty school; Engineering, Medical, Logistics, Administrative, Spiritual Support, etc. Upon selecting that you would be sent to training that would last from two months to two years depending on the job. You would serve the Administarium for a thirty year period with a retirement granted at the end of your service to the Administarium.
