When the Stormcloaks attacked Whiterun, they did not bring any artillery with them. No trebuchets, no catapults. Even the mages weren't adept in using missile-class destruction or area-of-effect alteration spells. What they did bring was Wulfgar Stormblade, Dragon of the North. Ysmir Wulfgar spoke only three words, and the hill that Whiterun was built upon nearly fell apart -the entirety of Whiterun's defense artillery and the Legion's garrison on the city's walls annihilated within seconds, such was his voice that the Stormcloaks had to gag him just to make sure there would be a city remaining. When the Stormcloaks laid siege to Solitude seven months later, they did not gag him.

Opinion: Tbh, it is kind of weird to see libertarians and communists banding up together at something, although it makes sense in the contest. Also, the National Party sounds very nationalistic for a libertarian party, tbh. Either way, it is good, that Transeurasia is no more a dictatorship in such case, as otherwise the Premier would probably have turned into a second Stalin.

''(SC's space expansion AU, a.k.a. the most unlikely scenario. Non-canon, of course! ''Current'' year would be 6030) [1] When SC started to colonize Luna and Mars, it soon found out, that the traditional agricultural methods were way more insufficient with the amount of limited available space and land in the colonies. So, out of necessity, SC put a lot more effort in researching cultured meat production, and alternative greenhouses, where available space was used as much as possible. At first, however, SC faced issues with cultured meat - one of them was the lack of structure in meat, if compared to the traditional beef/chicken/mutton/pig meat, which meant, that at first, the cultured meat was available only as minced meat. Second, there was also a lack of immunity for the meat, so albeit there weren't much of bacteria on Mars anyways, some of the microbes and bacteria from travelers themselves could potentially infect the meat. Still, those issues were sorted out eventually, as alternative farming methods progressed past their infancy, and soon they became the main source of production of food for SC's colonies in Solar System. Of course, with the growth of population on the colonies, the size of cultured meat vats and alternative farms was in a need of expansion, but it still took a considerably less amount of land, than in case, if traditional farming methods were used. (In fact, SC's astronomers estimated, that ''in order for traditional farming methods to pay off on the colonies, those planets and moons would need to be terraformed, which would require an absurd amount of time and resources, making it even more inefficient to do) However, Earth - the capital planet, and birthplace of SC, still held on to the traditional agriculture for a long time, as it had a lot more space available, despite the traditional agriculture becoming increasingly more inefficient. However, in the end, even the most traditionalist politicians had to admit, that ''traditional agriculture was not sustainable in the long term, due of increasing population pressure on Earth's food supply system, which would mean cutting down even more trees for agricultural pastures''. Of course, many traditionalists opposed the switch, and there were even revolts, and civil wars within regions, where traditional agrarianists had held power - perhaps the most noticeable war in SC's America was the Midwest Revolt, where national anarchist, agrarian militias seized power, after their party's leader was ready to accept the reforms, and smashed apart most of the cultured meat vats, as they thought, that ''it would put traditional farmers out of work'', and Tom had to use military force to crush the agrarian militias, and restore order there. Tom ordered to burn down the farms/fields of those farmers, which supported the agrarian militias, and plant trees afterwards instead. However, by 6030, traditional agriculture is practically unheard of in Pax Solaris, and is mentioned only in history books, and most of meat is grown in vats. Some theoreticians think, that ''traditionally styled agriculture will be re-vitalized with terraforming the Pax Solaris colonies'', but as terraforming is a very long and expensive process, it is not likely to happen in near future. Also, even if Mars actually got terraformed at some point, the first winters wouldn't be anything pleasant - as Mars is further from Sun than Earth, it would be colder by default, leading to shorter farming seasons, thus reducing the amount of crops being able to survive on its terraformed soil.''
''[2] The way how internet functions in Pax Solaris is significantly different - due of the distances between planets, there is an extreme amount of latency, as it can take 30 minutes to send data from Mars to Earth, and even for Luna - the Earth's moon, there is about 1-3 second latency. The latency increases even more the further you go away from Earth - for example, it would take hours to send a signal from Neptune's moon Triton to Earth alone. So, the planets and moons have so-called ''internet bubbles'', which means, that things like surfing, and live streaming are solely restricted to the local planet/moons internet - for example, the equivalent of youtube on Mars would be titled as ''youtube.mars'' (In fact, SC (Pax Solaris) eventually ditched the domain .fae, and replaced it with .earth, for an example, in order to indicate the internet bubbles in Pax Solaris, as SC was no longer located on Earth alone), which means, that its users would be able to mostly see only the content from Mars itself - even linking to the Earth's youtube through e-mail wouldn't work, as a message like this would appear: ''The access to this video was denied by the state internet provider, due of the fact, that it is located outside of Mars internet bubble''. Speaking of e-mail, however, it would be one of the few things, which would be available to be used in transferring the data between planets/moons, as while it would still take a long time for message to get to the receiver, and for receiver to reply to sender, it would be way more plausible than accessing a life-stream from an another planet. Even with the advance of technologies like 5G, internet speeds between planets remain painfully slow. However, for smaller planets, internet connection is pretty fast - for example, due of Mars being about 2 times smaller than Earth, internet on Mars would be 2 times faster, if the same provider would be used. For a while, there was an attempt to store as much information as possible from Earth's internet in the servers of other planets, and update it regularly, so the colonists would be able to use Earth's internet in a way. However, that meant, that the colonists were inevitably using outdated content, and they still weren't able to do things like playing games based on Earth's servers. So, it was eventually scraped in favor of the local internet bubbles - it meant, that users of each planet produced a relatively unique content from Earth, as they weren't able to directly interact with Earth's internet, and communities in internet were built from scratch too. However, such system also made it very easy for planetary administrations to block things what they didn't like, and instate censorship, as any news from Earth had to be directly delivered with spaceship (Which could take weeks, even months), or as transcripts through e-mail, and as all of SC's planet and moon governments can read private messages, they could very well throttle the connection between Earth and other planet/moon, and use ''unexpected latency problems'' as an excuse. Some have criticized the idea of ''internet bubbles'', but Tom thinks of it ''as the best system available''.''

In the Erbonian legal system, many crimes allow a plea of mens corrupta meaning corrupted mind. This is a plea which asserts that the accused was corrupted by 'evil forces corruptive of the mind', i.e. demonic or Satanic possession. The result of a successful plea of mens corrupta is that the matter is transferred to the ecclesiastical courts, which have a lower standard of proof but also far less severe penalties. For example, a charge of grievous battery, with a possible sentence of up to ten years' penal servitude in the regular courts, may be reduced to a sentence of one year's imprisonment, amercement, fasting and penance.
Nowadays, a plea of mens corrupta has solidified into almost a legal fiction, although in so far as it is generally believed that inclination to crime is a work of the devil, it is not a true legal fiction. The requirement for the plea is normally the testimony of the parish priest asserting as such, although the judge is entitled to request additional proof. Hence, the plea works to enable a level of discretion for the judge, as to whether or not the plea, and consequent lesser punishment, should be allowed.
The plea is only allowed for crimes recognised by canon law, and is limited by operation. Offences with malice prepensed are excluded, such as forestall, treason and murder, as well as other pre-meditated crimes such as armed robbery, espionage, plotting and conspiracy. It does, however, include crimes of passion and opportunity, such as adultery, sodomy, manslaughter by chance medley and procuration of a miscarriage.

The Church of Nortend has a large number of chantry priests and collegiate canons, whose formal responsibility is to celebrate masses and chaunt the Divine Office. Since the promulgation of the canon entitled Quia solliciti by Henry V, the traditional eight offices of prayer have been replaced by a simplified four offices: Mattins, Nones, Vespers and Vigils, which are chaunted around dawn, noon, evening and midnight respectively.
To this day, it is common for the wealthy to establish temporary or even perpetual chantries to both pray for their souls, as well as to give back to the community, given that chantry priests and collegiate canons traditionally take on the role of schoolmaster in the local parochial schools when they are not undertaking their spiritual duties.

Opinion:Huh, so it seemed like that the situation was improving in the 90s, and that there finally could be a some sort of peace, but the early 2000s come, and boom - all safety's gone. And as a lot of GenZers would grow up during those period, I assume, that they would also have different opinions on politics. Generation Alpha would have grown up during instability as well (If we define them as being born from 2010-2025), which would affect their opinions too.

''(SC's space expansion AU, a.k.a. the most unlikely scenario. Non-canon, of course! ''Current'' year would be 6030) [1] As a lot of Pax Solaris are still dependent on imports from Earth (Food as well), food has always been a pretty valuable thing, and periods of starvation aren't anything uncommon in Pax Solaris history, as often the planetary force just couldn't feed all of its big populace. However, some colonies were worse-off than others - for example, on one of the most recent colonies (Pluto), food is so expensive and valuable, that it is issued through ration cards, in order to ensure, that the settlers there get enough calories to not fall down, but not much else. However, the underground gambling on Pluto has taken a different turn - often, people use parts of their food rations on ration cards to gamble, in hopes of getting some extra food. However, just like with usual gambling, there is a big risk of losing everything you have - for example, those, who play a lot, can lose not only their part of bread loaf, but their entire ration card, which on Pluto might be very deadly, due of lack of food production methods like greenhouses. However, even the winners often aren't able to satisfy their hunger, or feed their families, as a lot of the lost food rations on cards actually go to the owner of the underground casino, which means, that the owner is the actual winner. Although illegal gambling with money is also widespread on Pluto, it is perhaps the only place, where gambling with food is more popular. (Gambling with food first started between groups of colonists on Pluto after the introduction of food rations, and as a way to possibly get some extra food, but soon organized underground places were formed) However, Pax Solaris is trying to crack on this form of gambling especially hard, due of concerns of such gambling ''depriving nutrients from workers'', and Tom has condemned it many times. However, some are still ready to risk, and try to win something in this dangerous game... As for Pluto in general, some of the Pax Solaris tourism companies offer mountain climbing trips to Pluto already, as it has some pretty tall mountains - Tenzing Montes is a mountain group, and peaks can reach as high as 6.2 km, making them the tallest mountains on pluto, and also the steepest, with mean slope of 19.2 degrees. Tombaugh Regio is an another important object for Pluto's tourism, due of its heart shape, and bright surface. It mostly consists from frozen nitrogen, and other ice, and the western basin is called ''Sputnik Planitia'', while the eastern part has more uplands. Tom has estimated, that ''a part of the Tombaugh Regio will be covered in water in case of terraforming Pluto, creating a beautiful, heart-shaped lake, which could bolster the tourism even more''. However, terraforming the Pluto is not going to be Pax Solaris priority for a long time, due of the extreme cold on it - it would need to first figure out, of how to keep the dwarf planet warm. Also, Pluto is considered a planet by the Pluto's administration, while rest of the Pax Solaris still considers it a dwarf planet, which has even led to some tensions between leaders.''
''[2] When arriving on new planets/moons, colonists took many things with them, including the board games. For example, ''Go'' - an ancient board game from East Asia, was taken to the Luna by SC's Chinese, Korean, and Japanese colonists. (Go is a game, where your main goal is to surround more territory than the opponent. Playing pieces are called ''stones'', and there are two colors - one is black, and second is white. Once you place the ''stones'' on board, you can't move them anymore, although you can ''capture'' the stones by surrounding the enemy stones in all orthogonally-adjacent points. Usually the size of board is 19x19, although smaller variants all the way to 9x9 exist, and the game is played on the grid lines. Traditional game set consists from 361 ''stones'', 2 bowls with each color in them, and a wooden floor board with grid lines). After some time, the colonists from planets/moons were allowed to participate in international Pax Solaris tournaments, which previously were reserved only to Earth's inhabitants. There, a lot of them showed talent, and beat the grandmasters from Earth in the first tournament. By 6030, Luna is one of the places popular between Go players, and chess is actually less popular there. Speaking of chess, situation is kind of similar there as well - a lot of the chess grandmasters from Martian State have reached high ranking in the Pax Solaris chess ranking system, as there were various skilled chess players between the colonists of Mars, and it had strong chess traditions. Meanwhile, checkers are popular on Ganymedes - one of the Jupiter moons, but backgammon (Or Nardi in Russian) is popular on Pluto.''
