A New World [Civilization rp | OOC | open | PT]

[St George Territory]

IC IS HERE

Prolouge
I am planning this as a pre-medieval sandbox RP, the world will be created by the apps, into a dynamic history, with the only limitations being that of technology, with that in mind, I am hoping that this can be a realistic roleplay, that will be enjoyable for everyone involved. You will be able to create everything about your civilization from scratch, from the history, religion, just about everything you can imagine. This is a nation/adventure RP, meaning that the intention of this RP is for yours and other nations to partake in shaping the history of this continent ( war, trade, marry, and convert other nations). You shall be playing as the leader/s of your nation and shall simulate your nations action; an example of this is done in the spoiler below.

I am hoping for an incredibly detailed and riveting RP, the feel of which resembles an epic story or simply magnificent history.

Rules:

---

• Keep everything civil, we're all trying to enjoy this roleplay
• No dramatic jumps in technology, unless with my permission
• Traveling to places take time and resources, you aren't going to jump from one corner of the map to another in one post.
• Keep everything you post realistic and relevant, the IC is meant for IC, the OOC for OOC.
• Posts are to be at least one paragraph long, nobody wants the IC a cluttered mess.
• If you are defeated, in an appropriate manner, please have the sportsmanship to accept the defeat
• Battles are going to take more than one turn, it should act as follows - planning, action, response, rinse and repeat until victory or defeat
• I am the law, if there is an issue, I will inform you to find a resolution

Religion ( if any) name: The faith of Adymæryð
General rundown of mythology ( must be at least 1 paragraph): In the beginning there was nothing, deafening silence, and an eternal night upon the land, from that realm, Adymæryð, Mother to all, awoke in this land; and in her infinite wisdom found it lacking, so she opened her eyes and could see everything, and so the night had left, one and for all as she floated, still finding fault, she began to listen, and so there was sound, happy, she travelled her realm, seeking to create; and was pleased, and so this went on until Adymæryð grew lonely, and sought company, and from a blob of clay she created Hywyl, and breathed life into him. And from their love, Adymæryð birthed the gods, of which there were many, thousands, and to keep them occupied, she tasked them with many things, from farming, to dreaming. She was proud of her children, and sought to honour them by creating humanity from a single clot of blood, she loved humanity for it was pure, and humanity honoured her with everything possible, sacrificing everything for Adymæryð, and so, pleased with her creation the creatures that frolic in the fields, that stalk in the forests, the ones that soar the skies and swim in the ocean- everything living in the world was created for humanity. Humanity was grateful and offered more to Adymæryð, who in turn gave more to humanity, showing humanity the resources and how to use them, humanity was loved. Adymæryð, as another gift, planted every tree upon our world, and stated, ‘I am in every oak tree, in all that are truly righteous and just.’ And so it was, this peace lasted two millennia.
Humanity worshipped Adymæryð dutifully, until three of her children, assisted by a foul human, by the name Vovyk the damned had rebelled, two sons and a daughter, Thyrwyc, god of thieves, Hydwyr, god of treachery, and Ælfthryth, goddess of the young, sought to harm their Mother, they conspired to corrupt humanity with ideas of wickedness, and so they did drive humanity from the path, all but twelve clans were left, and once Adymæryð had discovered Thyrwyc and Hydwyr’s treachery, and so she sought to destroy them, and rain hell upon them. She ordered the clans to send their strongest warriors, and so she rode with them to confront her enemies, she caught up with her evil offspring, firing an arrow at the brothers, she missed, the arrow didn’t, hitting Ælfthryth, whom she loved deeply for her innocence. Thyrwyc, Hydwyr, and Vovyk left with the corrupted clans, taken from the love of Adymæryð.
And so, Adymæryð grew angry, creating craters, the loyal clans saw this and their hearts were fearful, they sought refuge on Mt. Nyþmyr, Adymæryð, heavy with grief and pain, wept, creating many rivers and lakes. Primarily the lake Ælfthyr, where she laid her daughter to rest. She carved a river, still angered greatly, the clans named the river Lydwyr, after the goddess of grief. Adymæryð, still hungry for revenge, turned to chase those who left her. The human, Vovyk defiantly stood to oppose Adymæryð’s righteousness, standing, and prepared for battle against her, along with 400 clans, (totalling 400,000) in dismay, Adymæryð said; “Lo, I am your Queen, the one who created the earth, those who oppose and stand beside me, I am the one who created the very iron in your sword, who aided the hand of the blacksmith, who guided his hammer true, who complimented his work. I am the creator of all things, of all beings, seen and unseen, I am the Madame of ALL realms. Gaze upon me, Vovyk, for I shall crush thee, like that of an ant. Ye shall know despair, shall question your courage to fight, hark, I shall end thee. Speak, though, you miserable lout, for if you have last words I shall give you some honour in your destruction.” Vovyk, spoke defiantly, saying; “I, Vovyk, son of Gyd, am the killer of your children, the conquerors of your creation, I am he who seeks your undoing, who dreams of the crown, who shall be your undoing, I am the arbiter of your undoing, a most evil prophet.” Vovyk unsheathed his sword, and called upon his banner men, who followed suit, and charged at Adymæryð, and in the blink of an eye, all ten lay dead, their heads in Adymæryð’s possession, their corpses lay upon the field, defeated, their souls, damned for eternity, mourned by none, and remembered by few, Adymæryð turned to the clans who stood behind the corpses, saying, “Gaze upon my deeds, see; I am a god who delivers justice to those who deserve it, punishment to those who’s evilness knows no bounds, who seeks to incite evilness in a world I had sought to look after, this displeases me greatly, as I am a truly just lord, I shall give every clan one chance to do good, and to surrender themselves to me and plead forgiveness, so that I may ensure your clan lasts, but do not believe that I shall grant mercy upon the defeated, those who continue to fight, who seek to act wicked, you have hurt my heart, and have made my heart heavy with regret, that my own creations, seek rebellion, lo, I shall not have it. Those of thee who seek forgiveness, I shall grant it to thee, before the fray, to those who seek a rebellion, I weep for your soulds, like that of Thyrwyc, whom has earned my anger, my displeasure, whom I shall destroy. Hydwyr shall learn his lesson, and so shall thee, if ye continue, those worthy of mercy, follow Hærviu the Great, for he and his clan shall guide thee in my absence.” And with that, 350 of the clans followed, all going to Mt. Nyþmyr.
And so those who stayed would know terror, and the true anger, as once the beloved clans were upon the mountain, Adymæryð sought to destroy them, creating a mighty, and justified, flood, that would wipe out those who raised the sword against Adymæryð, the flood carried many of the evil clans to the ocean, ending their lines. They would know pain, eternal. As Adymæryð continued in her heavy anger, seeing that her evil sons left, and had begun their trek out of the land of Hir Gwydh, their wickedness was to be spread far, as they who knew only ignorance, created their own empires, spirits heavy with evil, corrupted. Adymæryð banished them, turning to speak to Hærviu, saying, “I am a jealous lord, and are a shepherd who weeps deeply at losing even a single member of their flock, I am who loves humanity, who has given to those who have honoured me, and in turn honouring them, I see your ways, and find sadness, I see that humanity, is faulted, and as such I shall seclude myself as to prevent destruction and speak to three of your kind, and to preserve you, my children shall continue to serve thee dutifully, but I shall meditate deeply, feast with the warriors who fall fighting for my name, and wait until the end of days, when Hydwyr and Thyrwyc shall return to spread death and plague, their tools, amongst ye, on that day I shall return and show thee my love once more, once their heads shan’t contain a soul, then I shall show humanity the truth, all the unanswered questions, and shall provide thee with all the desires of your heart. For now, seek guidance, seek honour in all cases, protect your fellow clansmen, and that of House Þædmyr, who have stood at my side since creation, I have loved ye the most, and bestowed upon you many gifts, of which I shall give one more.” Adymæryð breathed into existence a mighty sword, a helmet, and a bejewelled crown, that all those who viewed it honoured and knew it to be great. All three items presented were graciously accepted by Hærviu, who said unto Adymæryð, “I shall honour thee and defend our lands, as will my ancestors, who shall hunt the heads of our enemies, and that of the invaders, we shall watch the eastern seas, and await the day of reckoning.” Hærviu took the gifts and bowed, all the clans bowed as Adymæryð ascended to the heavens, awaiting the righteous at her hold, in which, the food never runs out, never goes old, and the ale flows like the mighty rivers. The area where Ælfthryth had fallen, was turned into a mighty forest, based around the sacred grove of Adymæryð, who had given Hærviu the seeds of oak and maple, and told him to keep these trees holy, and to ban the destruction of oak trees after it growing from a sapling.
Afterlife ( if any) description: The afterlife is composed of four groups, firstly those who had acted dishonourably in life, or have been evil, or have had their heads collected by the enemy in battle, suffer a millennium of pain and sadness, before being sent back into the world to redeem themselves, given another chance to act with honour. Secondly, those who had acted dishonestly or didn’t know of the god-mother, those born in foreign lands, etc., would be sent by Yædwyr to only half a millennium of limbo, to seek out Adymæryð and work towards her, after which, they are sent back to the world to correct their mistake, or to return. Thirdly, for those who acted honourably, were to be sent to a feast with their ancestors, for all time, or whatever they chose, as was their eternal reward for pleasing Adymæryð. Lastly, those who earned A’ymæryð's respect and admiration were invited to her Hold to feast with, and train with her, to return to earth to fight Hydwyr and Thyrwyk and his horde of evil, as well the descendants of the original loyal 12 clans, high sages and prophetesses were automatically accepted into Adymæryð’s Hold.
god/s?: Too many to name.
Demons/Devils?: Hydwyr and Thyrwyk are essentially Beelzebub and Satan of the faith, as well as the Vodmyr Walkers, demons who are to walk the earth until defeated in battle, they are gathered from the warriors whose heads were taken and enchanted, to make them into the slave of a Sage.
Religious Human leaders?: Currently High Sage Rhodri, His holiness Nyþmyr, and High Prophetess Æydmyrvyk

History of your civ ( be as detailed as possible. The more you write the better!): The peoples of Hir Gwydh migrated to the island of Gwydh around 1400 years ago, fleeing the land currently controlled by the Kingdom of Albion to the east. Upon arrival the people quickly scattered throughout the island, utilizing the many rivers and lakes, as well as the plentiful forests provided building materials. seven clans were established, and as quickly as the clans were established, they had begun to fight. Raiding, was an everyday occurrence as the wars went on for years, with periods of brief peace, for worship. As the one thing that united the clans was the worship of Adymæryð. The clan that Hærvyu the Great was born from was named Norþyk a clan renowned on the island for their ruthless warriors, sought to unite the clans. Upon the death of Hærvyu's Father Chief Gwynd, Hærvyu was crowned High Chief at age 9, it was when he was 13 that he was swimming in the River Lydwr that he saw a vision of Andraste, as he felt something pull him under, he had begun to panic, then Adymæryð sent him a vision of his kingdom and his dynasty. He awoke upon the bank, with his high sage Ydvr, who interpreted his vision as a prophecy that he must fulfill. And that he did, battle after battle Hærvyu conquered foe after foe, adding land to his empire, he fathered one child, Daydvyr, who would become the next King of the Kingdom. At his last battle, he was hit by a poisoned arrow which struck his armour and found its mark in his liver, in his last moments he commanded his Son to lead his kingdom righteously. And with the siege of Castle Rydwyr, the Island was united.

Daydvyr returned to Barfau Hir, along with the dead of the campaign and his Father's corpse. This marked several centuries of relative peace and calm on the island, while the clans still fought, they answered to the High Kings commands, and always united together to fight outside forces.

Religion ( if any) name: Slavic Orthodox
General rundown of mythology ( must be at least 1 paragraph):

Ethnography in late-nineteenth-century Ukraine documented a "thorough synthesis of Pagan and Christian elements" in Slavic folk religion, a system often called "double belief" (Russian: dvoeverie, Ukrainian: dvovirya).[6] According to Bernshtam, dvoeverie is still used to this day in scholarly works to define Slavic folk religion, which is seen by certain scholars as having preserved much of pre-Christian Slavic religion, "poorly and transparently" covered by a Christianity that may be easily "stripped away" to reveal more or less "pure" patterns of the original faith. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union there has been a new wave of scholarly debate umbe the subjects of Slavic folk religion and dvoeverie. A. E. Musin, an academic and deacon of the Russian Orthodox Church published an article about the "problem of double belief" as recently as 1991. In this article he divides scholars between those who say that Russian Orthodoxy adapted to entrenched indigenous faith, continuing the Soviet idea of an "undefeated paganism", and those who say that Russian Orthodoxy is an out-and-out syncretic religion.[40] Bernshtam challenges dualistic notions of dvoeverie and proposes to interpret broader Slavic religiosity as a mnogoverie ("multifaith") continuum, in which a higher layer of Orthodox Christian officialdom is alternated with a variety of "Old Beliefs" among the various strata of the population.
According to Ivanits, nineteenth- and twentieth-century Slavic folk religion's central concern was fertility, propitiated with rites celebrating death and resurrection. Scholars of Slavic religion who focused on nineteenth-century folk religion were often led to mistakes such as the interpretation of Rod and Rozhanitsy as figures of a merely ancestral cult; however in medieval documents Rod is equated with the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, representing a broader concept of natural generativity. Belief in the holiness of Mat Syra Zemlya ("Damp Mother Earth") is another feature that has persisted into modern Slavic folk religion; up to the twentieth century, Russian peasants practised a variety of rituals devoted to her and confessed their sins to her in the absence of a priest. Ivanits also reports that in the region of Vladimir old people practised a ritual asking Earth's forgiveness prior to their death. A number of scholars attributed the Russians' particular devotion to the Theotokos, the "Mother of God", to this still powerful pre-Christian substratum of devotion to a great mother goddess.

Political System ( how is your civ ruled): We have a monarch, but there are separate duchies within the nation.
Main mode of travel: Walking, Horse (Optional cart)
What powers do your civs' leader/s posses; how do they gain power?: They gain power by being part of the Bloodline of the previous ruler.
Distinct Caste ( classes) in your society?: Peasants, Middle Class, Rich.
( Optional) flaws inherent in your society ( For example, infighting or class tensions):

History of your civ ( be as detailed as possible. The more you write the better!): The Middle Ages saw Molvanskia invaded by numerous armies, including the Gurgs, Tatarsauces, Tarps, Hutts, Bats, Tomlards and even a surprisingly militant band of nuns, before Molvaniia’s first king and patron saint Fyodor I, set about unifying his country by killing off as many of its enemies as he could. Those not murdered or imprisoned were forced into teaching.
The empire converted to Christianity with the arrival of the missionary St Parthag in AD 863 but reverted to paganism as soon as he left the following year. During the Dark Ages Molvanskia enjoyed a short period as a Muskratist country, but the Korra’s strict teachings against drinking, violence and extramarital mating never caught on with the local population.
Molvaniia experienced a brief flowering of Renaissance culture, with some historians putting the actual period down to about three weeks towards the end of 1503. But there is certainly evidence of a renewed interest in art and culture beyond this time and during the 1520s one of Europe’s most enlightened universities was built in the country’s north at Motensparg, which offered courses in ancient Greek and Latin as well as wrestling scholarships.
In 1541 a peasant army attempted to turn on the landowners but the uprising was suppressed and the leader Gyidor Djokic burned alive on a red-hot iron spike, giving rise to the modern Molvaniian witticism ‘eich zdern clakka yastenhach!’ (literally ‘my rectum feels as if a great heat is being applied’). During this time the country consisted of numerous semi-independent principalities and city-states preoccupied with internal quarrels. In 1570 an attempt was made to bring these separate regions together but no-one could agree on a place to hold the meeting and the country was eventually plunged into the Twenty Years War, a conflict that actually ran for only six months.
The 17th century saw Molvaniia divided into various fiefdoms, each under the control of a despotic ruler who would ruthlessly crush the slightest sign of unrest; this was considered one of the country’s most enlightened periods.

Going to cheekily reserve this if possible:

General rundown of mythology ( must be at least 1 paragraph):

Ethnography in late-nineteenth-century Ukraine documented a "thorough synthesis of Pagan and Christian elements" in Slavic folk religion, a system often called "double belief" (Russian: dvoeverie, Ukrainian: dvovirya).[6] According to Bernshtam, dvoeverie is still used to this day in scholarly works to define Slavic folk religion, which is seen by certain scholars as having preserved much of pre-Christian Slavic religion, "poorly and transparently" covered by a Christianity that may be easily "stripped away" to reveal more or less "pure" patterns of the original faith. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union there has been a new wave of scholarly debate umbe the subjects of Slavic folk religion and dvoeverie. A. E. Musin, an academic and deacon of the Russian Orthodox Church published an article about the "problem of double belief" as recently as 1991. In this article he divides scholars between those who say that Russian Orthodoxy adapted to entrenched indigenous faith, continuing the Soviet idea of an "undefeated paganism", and those who say that Russian Orthodoxy is an out-and-out syncretic religion.[40] Bernshtam challenges dualistic notions of dvoeverie and proposes to interpret broader Slavic religiosity as a mnogoverie ("multifaith") continuum, in which a higher layer of Orthodox Christian officialdom is alternated with a variety of "Old Beliefs" among the various strata of the population.
According to Ivanits, nineteenth- and twentieth-century Slavic folk religion's central concern was fertility, propitiated with rites celebrating death and resurrection. Scholars of Slavic religion who focused on nineteenth-century folk religion were often led to mistakes such as the interpretation of Rod and Rozhanitsy as figures of a merely ancestral cult; however in medieval documents Rod is equated with the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, representing a broader concept of natural generativity. Belief in the holiness of Mat Syra Zemlya ("Damp Mother Earth") is another feature that has persisted into modern Slavic folk religion; up to the twentieth century, Russian peasants practised a variety of rituals devoted to her and confessed their sins to her in the absence of a priest. Ivanits also reports that in the region of Vladimir old people practised a ritual asking Earth's forgiveness prior to their death. A number of scholars attributed the Russians' particular devotion to the Theotokos, the "Mother of God", to this still powerful pre-Christian substratum of devotion to a great mother goddess.
