"There is cause to be afraid of everything. To throw something away because it can be dangerous is silly, you might as well throw away all of the sharpened pencils of the world."

"A man who dies for upholding his beliefs, is a man who can die proud with the knowledge that he died by his principles. Something many dead men cannot enjoy."

"I have no desire for anyone else's money. Rather, I desire that everyone is ensured their fare share for the work they have put in."

"All work is essential to the society. As such, the man who works with numbers and the man who works with rocks are still, in the end, equal."

- A collection of segments from the many debates between Jonathan Cornwal and others.




"People who oppose your ideals can give you food for thought. Something millions of zealous supporters and yes men can never give you."

- Jonathan Cornwal.

"The hardest work is not working at all. Sometimes I am envious of the peasants in the field - with their comfortable lives, where they want for nothing and worry for nothing. They are as content as kittens, complacent to let the nobles deal with the bigger problems," - Marquis d'Ellimette, famous Delvoirian essayist.

"Traffic jams lead to impatience, impatience leads to anger, anger leads to road rage, and road rage... leads to violence."

-Maria Shiomi, Tarveli social commentator
The Kingdom of Tarvelia + Һранве́лӷа Ҭáрвең


A post-Soviet, semi-constitutional monarchy with a strong sense of tradition. Basically just a humble, subarctic nation of (heavily armed) fishermen, lumberjacks and farmers trying to maintain their cultural identity in an increasingly cosmopolitan world.

The Marquis d'Ellimette was killed by an angry mob during the food riots during the famine of 1952. 1500 protestors were guillotined for the murder.

"The Delvoirian Court are much more fantastical than anything I have experienced at home. They are dressed so eloquently and beautifully, they dance like swans over lakes of ice, their conversation is as witty and as free as one could possibly hope and they all move and live with such grace. But, as I looked from my window at Le Petit Palais in Mallis-Royale, I could not help noticing that they had no problem moving their gilded carriages through crowds of the old, sick and poor," - The Dauphine Louise-Marie of Burgenhunt-Haßenn, future Queen of Francis XXI, in a letter to her mother the Electress of Haßen, 1911.

"Human beings are scary. They breathe a corrosive gas, drink one of the most potent solvents. Their preferred method of hunting was persistence hunting, where they chased animals until the prey's body simply gave up and died. They can eat just about anything they find, which means that they don't need to stop for food when chasing their prey. If they can't find food, that's fine. Their body will simply begin to eat itself so that they don't have to stop chasing their prey. They walk upright, they sweat, they don't have much body hair, which allows them to radiate away their body heat. This means that excessive time or extreme environment wont stop their hunts. If the animal fights back against them, they can take massive damage to their extremities and lose half their blood and still live. Their entire existence is owed to persistence, endurance, and determination. When they put themselves to a task, it gets done, period. And this instinct is still affecting them today."
