Okay, then write what you're doing, where you're headed...
After the treatments, news, and so on, Reliria will return to Nozenroth, Mahus will go to Teios, and the dog will go with one of them.

Ah, everyone has scattered across Erathia...

After the events that transpired, Tirza decided to return to Teios. She felt that, despite the defeat in this battle, she had a chance to rise through the ranks of the Narahani. Subsequently, she plans to visit the graves of her parents, if Ludovic succeeds in capturing Kalevritia.
Gray text: Perhaps she could go with Mahus. If she manages to rise through the ranks of the Narahani and some Nanglishima says, "You could have taken down Meligor too," then she might try. However, that won't happen.

Tirza will become a namkhani, and in the next expansion, we will be able to receive bonuses based on the origin of her domain.

Gray text: That would be awesome. It's just a shame that you wouldn't be able to play as her yourself.

Tirza will remain a namhani, and in the next expansion, you will be able to receive bonuses based on the origin of her domain.

Wealthy perverts pay more money to members of her domain. :smile20:

Almost forgot. Ivor:

I wrote about "the events that followed," and it turned out so dull and lacking in detail that I didn't even want to post it, ugh.

:(

Well, whatever.

End of year 334, at the walls of Veladaran.
After a long and very bloody battle, the "Insignia of Ilinar" finally managed to crush the vanguard of the rebel army and resume their advance. This was achieved with great difficulty and considerable losses, but nevertheless, their numbers were still large enough to cope with the task at hand. Or so it seemed.
— Sir, what is that in front of us? — Leykueyero's face was not visible due to the helmet on his head, but even so, the anxiety of this celebrated warrior could be felt.
— Everyone, stand! — At the marshal's command, the legion froze instantly. Their further path was blocked by a purple fog, eerie and repulsive. Its very appearance inspired terror and made it clear that contact with it should be avoided. — I have a very bad feeling.
Of course, the legionaries of Ilinar were not allowed to just stand and think. Right now, rebels and their former comrades were closing in on them from all sides. These were walking dead, and no matter how many the Insignia killed, they rose again. — Leykueyero, go ahead, find the one who is behind all this... It's definitely Nergal.
— It will be done! — The young warrior rushed forward through the purple fog.
— "He went alone again." — Tadiel shook his head and then turned to one of his squads. — Hey, you, help Leykueyero.

As he made his way through the ominous fog, Leykueyero could not stop feeling the threat to his life simply from being here, and this was clearly not without reason — he had not fought against the sorcerers of Ishanad before, but he had heard a lot about their magic. This fog not only tried to kill him, but also drove him mad. What if he dies here? Will he let Tadiel down and fail to fulfill his order? No! For Leykueyero, Tadiel was like a father, and he would definitely defeat the one who is a threat to him and Ilinar... And that someone was already standing right in front of him.
— Ah, Astin's apprentice. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that you are still standing, unlike…
The young warrior did not finish listening to his would-be interlocutor and immediately rushed at him. A sword in one hand, a shield in the other. All or nothing.
A stream of enormous energy flowed over the surface of his shield, but the warrior was not stopped and continued to move forward until he finally managed to strike his opponent — but in vain, the blade of the sword passed through the sorcerer's body as if it were not there at all. And then "reinforcements" arrived — a squad sent by Tadiel, which no longer served Ilinar, now they were walking dead.
— Ha... — As the risen surrounded him from all sides and the sorcerer prepared to cast his next spell, Leykueyero freed his mind, threw his shield on the ground, took an additional sword in his free hand, forgot about everything and focused on what was happening around him.
…
— Ha-ha-ha. — He killed them all. He put his comrades to rest and sent the sorcerer to the next world. Now, when the fog had receded, he ran back under the bright rays of the sun. Victory was near. That's what he thought, but reality did not quite live up to his expectations: here was his former mentor and Tadiel's head, which he held in his left hand by the hair.
— Oh, Leykueyero, — Astin saw his former student and smiled. — Catch! — Tossing the marshal's head in front of him, he kicked it like a ball. Catching it, Leykueyero stared into Tadiel's dead eyes and slumped.

End of year 334, Covellia.
— We have another problem. — The face of the "Harbinger of Death," as on the previous meeting, did not express any emotions.
— What else, Nugg? — Lutros, on the contrary, was extremely annoyed.
— The current situation forced the Ilinian faction to act, now we will have to deal with a rebellion in the south of the country.
— Wonderful. — Never in his life had the grandmaster felt such tension and stress. — As soon as Tadiel and your squad finish in the west, let them go south. They will help the "Dragon" and…
— Regarding this, Grandmaster.
— Yes?
— The "Insignia of Ilinar" suffered a defeat, Tadiel and Leykueyero are dead.
— What?! — Lutros jumped up from his seat and, thinking about something, walked away without a word.
Fifteen minutes later, he was already walking through the underground level of the Academy of Magic.
— Have you gone mad? — Gracian fussed around the fire mage, trying in every way to dissuade him from his plan, but he was adamant.
— There is no time to waste, Ilinar is in great danger, and we have no other choice. Besides, this situation is one of the reasons why we initiated this project in the first place.
— He is not ready! Have you forgotten about the risks? The "Obelisk of Beginning and End" was intended as a source of infinite energy, do you even realize what might happen if something goes wrong?
— Get out of my way.
— No!
Lutros snapped his fingers, and Gracian turned into a handful of ashes.

Summer of 335, Shankhursang.
Along the streets of the once majestic and beautiful city, one could now see not palm trees, but people impaled on stakes. Since their vital organs were not affected, they remained alive and had been in this state for several days. Besides, as a rule, the dead were quickly replaced by new victims, so it was impossible to find silence here — someone was always moaning.
— Ah, what wonderful music for my ears. — For the past year, the ruler of Shankhursang was Ugaldahesi named Nahzan. He suffered from insomnia, but he calmed down when he saw that others were in even greater agony than he was. — Yes, sing, sing!
— Sometimes I start to doubt the adequacy of the "Rule of the Worthy" system, — walking through the streets of this ancient city in the company of Nahzan, Erisasulshim watched with disapproval the fruits of his comrade's rule. — All these people could have discovered the teachings of Elulu-Suen or, at least, worked for the prosperity of Teios.
— You are too serious, Eris. — Nahzan was a very tall, thin man with dark skin and blue eyes. — Teios is unstoppable, and the fate of a few Tressians will not change anything.
— Oh, is that so? My lord once told me that only a fool is sure of his invincibility.
— Ha! Ilinar could not withstand its own weight, Kalevritia fell under the onslaught of Ludovic. We have no worthy opponents left.
— What about Taosia? Nozenrot? The remaining troops of Ilinar, the rebels?
— Pfft. The rebels are just dogs of war, scavengers who took advantage of a lucky moment.
— Like this one? — Ugaldahesi of Shankhursang did not even have time to be surprised when an unknown blade swept across his throat like butter.
________
With the arrival of reinforcements from Suenthan, the massive battle that took place on the streets of Shankhursang promised to drag on for many days, but it ended prematurely. The ruler of Suenthan proposed that the rebel leader settle everything in a fair "duel of the worthy," which would allow both sides to avoid unnecessary losses.
In this battle of titans, the legendary spear and the one-and-a-half-handed sword met for the first time. Both warriors were incredibly skilled, but the red-eyed one turned out to be more agile — here is his opponent lying on the ground, pierced by a spear. The deep wound in the swordsman's shoulder no longer allowed him to get up under the weight of his opponent, however, the pistol taken out from inside his jacket was a surprise for the Teiosian — and the last thing he saw in this life.

I really should have killed Astin. And I didn't get a cool sword, and I lost two of the most suitable countries...

:/

:/

What don't you like?! If it weren't for Adilik, none of this would have happened, by the way!

It's always nice to influence the plot!
Well, I actually don't even know what to say. I guess it's because before, some countries appealed to me in one way or another, others didn't, but now, hmm, uncertainty and emptiness hang over Erathia :|
All that remains is the hope that Taosia will conquer everyone.

4 years since the death of Nangilishima, changes in the world

States of Ertenia
Nozenroth
Influence in Ertenia: huge
Ruler: La-Rouan of Nozenroth (king)

The secret agreement concluded between La-Rouan and the Prime Minister of Taosia brought exclusively positive results to Nozenroth: a powerful neighbor was overthrown, and the new lands were not only wealthy but also served as a shield against any threats from the south. And when news of Nangilishima's death and the collapse of Teyos reached the king's ears, the only thing left for the King to do was dance with joy.
The presence of overseas colonies and a developed economy also make Nozenroth the wealthiest state in Ertenia.
Currently, Nozenroth's army is the most modern in the world. At the same time, it should be noted that the knighthood of this country has fallen into decline.
Ninsharria
Influence in Ertenia: huge
Lands: western Ilinar, Suentan, Onitan, Elutan, Agatan, Shankhursang (capital).
Ruler: Ihara (tsarina)

The name of this country translates as "land of Ninsharra" or "land of the sun." From this, it is easy to guess that the primary religion of this country is the cult of worship of Ninsharra. This country has at its disposal both the fertile lands of central Ertenia and the resource-rich south. As in Nozenroth, slavery flourishes in this country, and the population is divided into mesheds, tresi, and aristocrats. It is important to note that here the concept of "meshed" is exclusively positive. The inhabitants of western Ilinar consist predominantly of such.
Stones of Immortality: after the death of Nangilishima, the Prism of Youth was destroyed, however, precious stones were created from its remains, whose minimal abilities can be called immunity to diseases and eternal youth. Initially, all 9 pieces were at the disposal of Ninsharria.
Taosia
Influence in Ertenia: Large
Ruler: Ito Bansai (prime minister)

The unification of the country and the subsequent political, military, and socio-economic reforms served as the beginning of Taosia's rapid growth. The economy improved (not least due to trade with Nozenroth and the annexation of northern provinces of Ilinar), the average standard of living became the best in Ertenia (following Puria), education became available to everyone, and the army became more organized and modern. It is worth noting that despite the increased amount of firearms in the country, the samurai spirit in Taosia remained as strong as ever.

Sintan
Influence in Ertenia: Large
Lands: Sintan (capital), Southern Kalevritia.
Ruler: Ludovic Alvarez (supreme lord)

Sintan is a land of sin where everything condemned by the Kalevrite faith flourishes. It is governed by princes appointed by the Supreme Lord. The warrior class lives in luxury and dominates over commoners. Public morale is absent, but violation of the law (corruption, non-recognition of authority, etc.) is strictly punished.
Horror: About two years ago, Ludovic and his loyal warriors of Sintan sneaked into Covellia; in the ruins of the city, they managed to seize various valuables, including a sword once owned by Tartarus Ghostdrain.

Yorun
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Ruler: Torstein "the Radiant" (king)

The events of recent years have in no way affected the land of snow and cold. Over these years, however, Torstein managed to finally establish order in the country, integrate Ings and Yan'shi into Yorun society, and organize an army capable of repelling any aggressors from the south.
Secret of the Yan'Shi: based on Sit'Al's recommendations, an experiment was conducted in the far north during which the secret of these creatures was revealed. Torstein issued a decree according to which all dead were to be buried where it is colder.

Republic of Ilinar
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Ruler: Netria Alyesir (chairperson of the republic council)

During the events of recent years, Ilinar had to part with all its overseas colonies and most of its continental lands. Despite this, after the war ended, the life of an average inhabitant of Ilinar became much better. Corruption declined, the bureaucratic apparatus was simplified, information became more accessible, and social and economic reforms allowed for the equalization of citizens' incomes.
Republic Council
Council Chairperson: Netria Alyesir
Grandmaster of Magic: Asalia Tish
Minister of Finance: Tandred
Marshal: Marisa Ghostdrain
Justiciar: Hikari
The positions of kaist and admiral were abolished since Ilinar currently has no access to the sea.
Tiresias Archive: contains all the filth of Ertenia. Not used as it goes against the current policy of the country.
Legions of Ilinar
I. "Death Legion". Under the personal command of the marshal. Consists of veterans of the "Heralds of Death" legion and the "Suicide Legion".
II. "Wizards of Ilinar". Specialization: magic.
III. "Black Arrow". Specialization: ranged combat, reconnaissance.
IV. "Guardians of the Republic". Specialization: melee combat, ranged combat.
V. "Wings of the Wind". Specialization: cavalry.
VI "Spark". Specialization: firearms.
VII. "Peacekeepers". Specialization: generalists.
VIII. "Lions of the Republic". Specialization: melee combat.
IX. "Victors". Specialization: heavy infantry.
X. "Morning Star". Specialization: generalists.
Thus, the number of Ilinar legions was reduced from fifty to ten. Also, now the legion number did not change — in the opinion of the current government, the republic's soldiers had no need to fight for ranks in a matter such as war. The first and tenth legions, however, are considered the most prestigious.

Kingdom of Illiniar
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Lands: Southern Ilinar, Gaddar (capital), Grindania, Zimutan, Orc Wastes.
Ruler: Naraya (queen)

The royal family faction never ceased to exist in Ilinar and, naturally, the huge crisis that the republic faced five years ago became a fitting chance for the descendants of Gavellus to make themselves known. In her policy, Queen Naraya follows the ideals of her distant ancestor.

Kingdom of Geirt
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Official religion: Kalevrite faith
Ruler: Ainar "the Righteous" (king)

Speaking of the Geirtians, one can say with certainty that fanatical berserkers will become no less remarkable warriors of the faith.
As of today, Geirt is stable, prospering, and developing. A once wild people received the opportunity to live in a civilized society, receive an education and... Know the Lord.

Kalevritia
Influence in Ertenia: Small
Official religion: Kalevrite faith
Ruler: Hilary III (high priest)


Kalevria
Influence in Ertenia: Small
Official religion: Kalevrite faith
Ruler: Krista Galahad (great grandmaster)

After the death of the previous high priest and during the subsequent war with Ludovic Alvarez, a schism occurred in Kalevritia — the country split in two; since then, one half is governed by the clergy, and the other by militant paladins.

Duchy of Puria
Influence in Ertenia: Insignificant
Ruler: Arian Dankul of Puria (duke)

Arian follows the same policy as his father before him, however, he treats commoners even more benevolently.

Asvaldr
Influence in Ertenia: Insignificant
Ruler: Kiin (representative)

The dwarves of Ertenia, as before, lead an isolated way of life, however, they engage in trade with surface dwellers with great pleasure. Their trading partners are the Republic of Ilinar, Ninsharria, and Yorun.

Enluan
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Ruler: Airy

As of today, Enluan serves as a place where both inhabitants of Ertenia and Tilians gather. Both prefer to leave their savings in the local bank, and the wealthiest buy real estate because Enluan is the most beautiful city if not in the whole world, then certainly in the region of Ertenia.

Iltan
Influence in Ertenia: Insignificant
Ruler: Carvelos

An independent and wealthy city with access to the eastern sea. Iltan is the successor of Nozenroth's knightly spirit.

Arinasai
Influence in Ertenia: Small
Ruler: Enbilla


Ishanad
Influence in Ertenia: ?
Ruler: none
About this country, as before, very little remains known.

Darnia
Influence in Ertenia: Small
Ruler: none

Shuna
Influence in Ertenia: Normal
Ruler: Lalassu (tsarina)

Lalassu worked for both Teyos and Ilinar simultaneously, but in fact from the very beginning she pursued only her own personal goals. Expanding her information network and organizing various intrigues here and there, she intended and confidently moved toward becoming a namhani of one of Teyos's domains one day, but this was not necessary — the invincible war machine collapsed, losing the only person capable of managing it. This allowed Lalassu and other same-countrymen to reclaim power over the deserts of Ertenia, and if not for the cursed Ninsharrians, over the entire south.
The Mahotan domain is located on the territory of Shuna.

Dark Lands
Covellia and its adjacent territories. The activation of the "Obelisk of Beginning and End" led to irreparable anomalies arising in the center of Ertenia. Everything, from plants to people, became saturated with magical energy and now this place is more dangerous and far more mysterious than even the forests of Melhoria. People with animal traits, phantoms feeding on magical energy, rains of fire, various monsters — this is only the tip of the iceberg.
