The Kórsian Thestral is a mythical creature populating the vast plains and urban centres of the main continent.

Originally spreading from the Island of Kórsia across the Danúvian delta and the Diryn plain, they can now be found in major urban centres like Loire and Palermo.

==Mythical Origins ==
Their origins are unknown. According to folk tales, they were brought to Kórsia by ancient undead raiders, Skeleton warriors on horseback, who terrorised the local populace.

==Domestication==

Despite of their owners, the Thestrals were found to be peaceful and could even be domesticated. Humanoids and Thestrals eventually grew accustomed to each other.

Since the Kórsian Thestrals faced no enemy to challenge their feeding grounds, they have spread across Kórsia and surrounding areas in a very fast pace.

Kaljista is a danúvian city situated on the island of Kórsia. The City is one of the oldest settlements in the South of the continent, having been founded on the 1st of September 2023. Since the fall of Danúvia, it gradually became the central metropolitan area of the region, replacing Ístropolj as regional capital in the nations of [[Messenia]], [[Sanéa]] and the [[Diryn Imperium]].

Being the city from which the [[Messenian Metro]] started operating and expanding their vast tunnel system from, Kaljista is generally known as the Railway Capital.

=History=
==Danúvian Era==

Kaljista's origins lie in the first wave of expansion of the Duchy of [[Istropolj]] which would later be known as Grand Duchy of [[Danúvia]].

Settlers of Ister ethnicity would settle down in the most northern tip of the Island of Kórsia, giving their new home the name "Ajakse". Their settlement would primarily consist of elegant Ister wooden pillar houses on a solid stone base. The biggest of them, which is located on top of a larger hill, would soon become to be known as Tollhouse, as it was the base of operations for Danuvian tax collectors, also taxing maritime trade.

With the second wave of settlers arriving, Ajakse would receive a large amount of Ailb people to work the fields and primitive farms. They would take shelter in small primitive wooden houses which are today known as the Kaljistan slums. The Ailbs would give the place another name: Kaljista. And with the Ister part of the population dwindling and said ethnicity soon only be existing within the upper class, the old name of Ajakse would soon be swept away. "Kaljista" would finally be recognized as official settlement name by the Ducal office in Istropolj, when the settlement finally reached city status.

By then, the Tollhouse had been refitted into a townhall with the first mayor of Kaljista also being of the Ailb ethnicity.

The island of Kórsia was then organized into its own province, with its lands, now also consisting of the largest granary of Danúvia, governed from Kaljista.
Said time would be the start of the Age of prosperity for Kaljista, with industrialization setting in along with the addition of proper Ailb style brick buildings and a massive Blackstone bridge, leading up to a mountain on the other side of the Korsian Bay, which is now a key component in the connecting of the Southern and Northern road networks.

Kaljista also became the seat of the [[Dual Church of Egjenism]], with its first mayor Miklos Némann taking up the role of Équator, the faith's religious leader. Across Danúvia, Kaljista had generally been referred to as Scetét's city, giving birth to name inspirations such as the name of Kaljista's tavern: Scetét's Jest.

During the Age of Crisis and the fall of Danúvia, the last royalist remnant would have its base in Kaljista from where it would strike at revolutionary Republicans down south in the capital of Ístropolj. After crushing the last rebels, the Danúvian spirit was already fully dead, with its most southern cities handed over to Dirynum and many people fleeing the region.

Kaljista would undergo a short period of independence as Kórsian State before entering negotiations with the neighboring city state of Alaetia. (Modern-day Ephesus)

The negotiations would result in the establishment of the Principate of Messenia, which Kórsia, as its own province, became a part of. Through Kórsia, Messenia was also considered the rightful successor of Danúvia.

The New shift from the south towards the more northern Alaetia would see the rapid improvement of infrastructure such as the first metro line of the [[Messenian Metro]] between Alaetia and Kaljista as well as fortified borders along the road between the two cities to solidify control and guard the road against bordering Kothmire.

==Sanéan Era==
TBD

=Administration=
Kaljista is administrated by a Major and his cabinet, along with a autocratic City Council acting as legislative body. The council and the Mayor's cabinent both convene regularily in the Tollhouse to debate and decide on policies of any kind.

==Subdivisions==
Kaljista can be divided into 7 general districts: the old town of '''Kaljista Ovárpolj''' with the Tollhouse at its centre, the '''Kallisburgh''' guarding the western entrance and the bridge, the '''Gardens of Moonrise''', harboring the Gyha and the Haartmann Mausoleum, the '''Bidona slums''' on both sides of the Kórsian bay, the industrial centre of '''Kaljista Ypárpolj''' and '''Hemont Kazymir''', a natural fortress to assert effective control over the Kórsian Bay and the greant fields of '''Champ-búza''', an area taking up roughly a sixth of the island of Kórsia, supplying Kaljista's population with fresh crops. In between the Champ-búza and Ypárpolj lies the nature preserve of Hemont Ajakse.

=Demographics=
==Ethnicities==
The bulk of Kaljista’s Population (roughly 54%) is considered Danúvian of either Íster or Ailb origin, with the ancestors of the Danúvian inhabitants mainly having arrived during the first and second expansion wave of the Duchy of Istropolj as well as the fall of Old Danúvia. The latest wave of Danúvian immigration took place during the Mustyrian War, with many fleeing from the Chaos in the North.

At the same time, a number of Ephesinians and Mustyrians also settled on Korsia for similar reasons, nowadays equating to just short of 8% and 6% of the population respectively.

During the Sanéan era and the elevation of Kaljista to the capital of the Region, the city experienced a steady influx of Diryn merchants and settlers. The number of Diryn inhabitants was further inflated by the fall of Ashannar, with them now making up ⅕ of the Population.

The Introduction of the Diryn Imperium lured the Ashannari into the City, guided by his Radiance the Imperator Sol Aureus I. with every 1 in 8 people considered of Ashannari origin nowadays.

==Religion==
Historically, Kaljista had been the seat of the Egjenist Dual Church, a local Danúvian dualist faith. After Nykol Hartmann’s religious reformation, the whole of Danúvia became part of the international Moonrisen community within the enlightened Scetétian Church of Moonrise. At the moment 41% of Kaljista believes in Moonrisen teachings.

The other religions present had all been imported by citizens foreign to the area. Pyrannism first reached Kaljista during its time in Messenia and then during the Mustyrian war, with every 1 in 12 Kaljistans being a Pyrannist nowadays.

The largest religious group in Kaljista are the Solists. Already spreading to Kaljista in the Sanéan era, the formerly moonrisen dominated City became Solist by majority after the fall of Ashannar, which also saw part of the danúvian political elite convert to Solism to please the Imperator. The number of Solists in Kaljista amounts to roughly 51 per cent of the population, with all 3 largest ethnicities almost dominated by Solism.
[[File:Religious_makeup10-01-25.png]]

''Data taken from Census on January 10th 2025''
==Society==

During the times of old Danúvia, the Ailbs had originally been the poor working class, living in the Kaljistan slums, while the Ísters acted as rulers and administrators. This imbalance shifted over time however, with the Ailbs ascending to become the City’s middle class, while the cultural fusion of Ailbs and Ísters continued to solidify.

In our times, the majority of upper class citizens are ethnic Danúvians of either faith, living in the oldest part of Kaljista and serving as members of the City Watch, Industrialists or as Administrators in the City Council. Furthermore, a new kind of Solist Elite has been settling on Korsia, exerting their influence by being overrepresented in the City Council, enjoying the backing of the Imperator.

The City’s lower class is primarily dominated by the Solist Ashannari, Moonrisen Danúvians and Pyrannists who mainly live in the poorest districts under the Grand Bridge. However, some Ashannari have ascended to upper ranks in Kaljista’s society by undergoing military careers in the City Watch. Furthermore the Ashannari, in response to the housing crisis that had been sparked by the waves of refugees, had gone ahead and constructed their own district on the other side of the Korsian Bay. The lower class, largest in numbers. represents the industrial backbone of the city, working day and night in Kaljista’s vast industrial complexes.

Kaljista's middle class is made up of Diryn and Danúvian merchants, bureaucrats, priests and foremen with numbers almost evenly split between Solists and Moonrisen.

All in all, Faith and wealth dictate the city’s political and social landscape the most, with people of the same faith or social class banding together over issues in different combinations, resulting in interesting dynamics and shifting balances of power.

=Military=
Since the fall of Danúvia, Kaljista has had a permanently standing military force, the '''Kaljista City Watch'''. First formed from danúvian kazymirist army remnants, it exercises military control over Kórsia and Ístropolj.

Its base of operations are the Kaljista Barracks, the Undercity, Kallisburgh, Mount Kazymir and the Mapping Guild in Ístropolj. The Kaljista City Watch has partaken in a number of prestigious military operations, such as the Liberation o Ístropolj, the capturing of [[Spurius Aemilianus]] and Nykol Haartmann's last stand against Sol Aureus.

Nowadays, the City Watch offers a lucrative carreer for many Kaljistans who want to climb the social ladder and earn a name for themselves.

The island of Kórsia was then organized into its own province, with its lands, now also consisting of the largest granary of Danúvia, governed from Kaljista.
Said time would be the start of the Age of prosperity for Kaljista, with industrialization setting in along with the addition of proper Ailb style brick buildings and a massive Blackstone bridge, leading up to a mountain on the other side of the Korsian Bay, which is now a key component in the connecting of the Southern and Northern road networks.

Kaljista also became the seat of the [[Dual Church of Egjenism]], with its first mayor Miklos Némann taking up the role of Équator, the faith's religious leader. Across Danúvia, Kaljista had generally been referred to as Scetét's city, giving birth to name inspirations such as the name of Kaljista's tavern: Scetét's Jest.

During the Age of Crisis and the fall of Danúvia, the last royalist remnant would have its base in Kaljista from where it would strike at revolutionary Republicans down south in the capital of Ístropolj. After crushing the last rebels, the Danúvian spirit was already fully dead, with its most southern cities handed over to Dirynum and many people fleeing the region.

Kaljista would undergo a short period of independence as Kórsian State before entering negotiations with the neighboring city state of Alaetia. (Modern-day Ephesus)

The negotiations would result in the establishment of the Principate of Messenia, which Kórsia, as its own province, became a part of. Through Kórsia, Messenia was also considered the rightful successor of Danúvia.

The New shift from the south towards the more northern Alaetia would see the rapid improvement of infrastructure such as the first metro line of the [[Messenian Metro]] between Alaetia and Kaljista as well as fortified borders along the road between the two cities to solidify control and guard the road against bordering Kothmire.

=Administration=
Kaljista is administrated by a Major and his cabinet, along with a autocratic City Council acting as legislative body. The council and the Mayor's cabinent both convene regularily in the Tollhouse to debate and decide on policies of any kind.

==Subdivisions==
Kaljista can be divided into 7 general districts: the old town of '''Kaljista Ovárpolj''' with the Tollhouse at its centre, the '''Kallisburgh''' guarding the western entrance and the bridge, the '''Gardens of Moonrise''', harboring the Gyha and the Haartmann Mausoleum, the '''Bidona slums''' on both sides of the Kórsian bay, the industrial centre of '''Kaljista Ypárpolj''' and '''Hemont Kazymir''', a natural fortress to assert effective control over the Kórsian Bay and the greant fields of '''Champ-búza''', an area taking up roughly a sixth of the island of Kórsia, supplying Kaljista's population with fresh crops. In between the Champ-búza and Ypárpolj lies the nature preserve of Hemont Ajakse.

==Ethnicities==
The bulk of Kaljista’s Population (roughly 54%) is considered Danúvian of either Íster or Ailb origin, with the ancestors of the Danúvian inhabitants mainly having arrived during the first and second expansion wave of the Duchy of Istropolj as well as the fall of Old Danúvia. The latest wave of Danúvian immigration took place during the Mustyrian War, with many fleeing from the Chaos in the North.

At the same time, a number of Ephesinians and Mustyrians also settled on Korsia for similar reasons, nowadays equating to just short of 8% and 6% of the population respectively.

During the Sanéan era and the elevation of Kaljista to the capital of the Region, the city experienced a steady influx of Diryn merchants and settlers. The number of Diryn inhabitants was further inflated by the fall of Ashannar, with them now making up ⅕ of the Population.

The Introduction of the Diryn Imperium lured the Ashannari into the City, guided by his Radiance the Imperator Sol Aureus I. with every 1 in 8 people considered of Ashannari origin nowadays.

==Religion==
Historically, Kaljista had been the seat of the Egjenist Dual Church, a local Danúvian dualist faith. After Nykol Hartmann’s religious reformation, the whole of Danúvia became part of the international Moonrisen community within the enlightened Scetétian Church of Moonrise. At the moment 41% of Kaljista believes in Moonrisen teachings.

The other religions present had all been imported by citizens foreign to the area. Pyrannism first reached Kaljista during its time in Messenia and then during the Mustyrian war, with every 1 in 12 Kaljistans being a Pyrannist nowadays.

The largest religious group in Kaljista are the Solists. Already spreading to Kaljista in the Sanéan era, the formerly moonrisen dominated City became Solist by majority after the fall of Ashannar, which also saw part of the danúvian political elite convert to Solism to please the Imperator. The number of Solists in Kaljista amounts to roughly 51 per cent of the population, with all 3 largest ethnicities almost dominated by Solism.

==Society==

During the times of old Danúvia, the Ailbs had originally been the poor working class, living in the Kaljistan slums, while the Ísters acted as rulers and administrators. This imbalance shifted over time however, with the Ailbs ascending to become the City’s middle class, while the cultural fusion of Ailbs and Ísters continued to solidify.

In our times, the majority of upper class citizens are ethnic Danúvians of either faith, living in the oldest part of Kaljista and serving as members of the City Watch, Industrialists or as Administrators in the City Council. Furthermore, a new kind of Solist Elite has been settling on Korsia, exerting their influence by being overrepresented in the City Council, enjoying the backing of the Imperator.

The City’s lower class is primarily dominated by the Solist Ashannari, Moonrisen Danúvians and Pyrannists who mainly live in the poorest districts under the Grand Bridge. However, some Ashannari have ascended to upper ranks in Kaljista’s society by undergoing military careers in the City Watch. Furthermore the Ashannari, in response to the housing crisis that had been sparked by the waves of refugees, had gone ahead and constructed their own district on the other side of the Korsian Bay. The lower class, largest in numbers. represents the industrial backbone of the city, working day and night in Kaljista’s vast industrial complexes.

Kaljista's middle class is made up of Diryn and Danúvian merchants, bureaucrats, priests and foremen with numbers almost evenly split between Solists and Moonrisen.

All in all, Faith and wealth dictate the city’s political and social landscape the most, with people of the same faith or social class banding together over issues in different combinations, resulting in interesting dynamics and shifting balances of power.

=Military=
Since the fall of Danúvia, Kaljista has had a permanently standing military force, the '''Kaljista City Watch'''. First formed from danúvian kazymirist army remnants, it exercises military control over Kórsia and Ístropolj.

Its base of operations are the Kaljista Barracks, the Undercity, Kallisburgh, Mount Kazymir and the Mapping Guild in Ístropolj. The Kaljista City Watch has partaken in a number of prestigious military operations, such as the Liberation o Ístropolj, the capturing of [[Spurius Aemilianus]] and Nykol Haartmann's last stand against Sol Aureus.

Nowadays, the City Watch offers a lucrative carreer for many Kaljistans who want to climb the social ladder and earn a name for themselves.

Kaljista is a danúvian city situated on the island of Kórsia. The City is one of the oldest settlements in the South of the continent, having been founded on the 1st of September 2023. Since the fall of Danúvia, it gradually became the central metropolitan area of the region, replacing Ístropolj as regional capital in the nations of [[Messenia]], [[Sanéa]] and the [[Diryn Imperium]].

Being the city from which the [[Messenian Metro]] started operating and expanding their vast tunnel system from, Kaljista is generally known as the Railway Capital.

=History=
==Danúvian Era==

Kaljista's origins lie in the first wave of expansion of the Duchy of [[Istropolj]] which would later be known as Grand Duchy of [[Danúvia]].

Settlers of Ister ethnicity would settle down in the most northern tip of the Island of Kórsia, giving their new home the name "Ajakse". Their settlement would primarily consist of elegant Ister wooden pillar houses on a solid stone base. The biggest of them, which is located on top of a larger hill, would soon become to be known as Tollhouse, as it was the base of operations for Danuvian tax collectors, also taxing maritime trade.

With the second wave of settlers arriving, Ajakse would receive a large amount of Ailb people to work the fields and primitive farms. They would take shelter in small primitive wooden houses which are today known as the Kaljistan slums. The Ailbs would give the place another name: Kaljista. And with the Ister part of the population dwindling and said ethnicity soon only be existing within the upper class, the old name of Ajakse would soon be swept away. "Kaljista" would finally be recognized as official settlement name by the Ducal office in Istropolj, when the settlement finally reached city status.

By then, the Tollhouse had been refitted into a townhall with the first mayor of Kaljista also being of the Ailb ethnicity.

The island of Kórsia was then organized into its own province, with its lands, now also consisting of the largest granary of Danúvia, governed from Kaljista.
Said time would be the start of the Age of prosperity for Kaljista, with industrialization setting in along with the addition of proper Ailb style brick buildings and a massive Blackstone bridge, leading up to a mountain on the other side of the Korsian Bay, which is now a key component in the connecting of the Southern and Northern road networks.

Kaljista also became the seat of the [[Dual Church of Egjenism]], with its first mayor Miklos Némann taking up the role of Équator, the faith's religious leader. Across Danúvia, Kaljista had generally been referred to as Scetét's city, giving birth to name inspirations such as the name of Kaljista's tavern: Scetét's Jest.

In our times, the majority of upper class citizens are ethnic Danúvians of either faith, living in the oldest part of Kaljista and serving as members of the City Watch, Industrialists or as Administrators in the City Council. Furthermore, a new kind of Solist Elite has been settling on Korsia, exerting their influence by being overrepresented in the City Council, enjoying the backing of the Imperator.

The City’s lower class is primarily dominated by the Solist Ashannari, Moonrisen Danúvians and Pyrannists who mainly live in the poorest districts under the Grand Bridge. However, some Ashannari have ascended to upper ranks in Kaljista’s society by undergoing military careers in the City Watch. Furthermore the Ashannari, in response to the housing crisis that had been sparked by the waves of refugees, had gone ahead and constructed their own district on the other side of the Korsian Bay. The lower class, largest in numbers. represents the industrial backbone of the city, working day and night in Kaljista’s vast industrial complexes.

Kaljista's middle class is made up of Diryn and Danúvian merchants, bureaucrats, priests and foremen with numbers almost evenly split between Solists and Moonrisen.

All in all, Faith and wealth dictate the city’s political and social landscape the most, with people of the same faith or social class banding together over issues in different combinations, resulting in interesting dynamics and shifting balances of power.

=Military=
Since the fall of Danúvia, Kaljista has had a permanently standing military force, the '''Kaljista City Watch'''. First formed from danúvian kazymirist army remnants, it exercises military control over Kórsia and Ístropolj.

Its base of operations are the Kaljista Barracks, the Undercity, Kallisburgh, Mount Kazymir and the Mapping Guild in Ístropolj. The Kaljista City Watch has partaken in a number of prestigious military operations, such as the Liberation o Ístropolj, the capturing of [[Spurius Aemilianus]] and Nykol Haartmann's last stand against Sol Aureus.

Nowadays, the City Watch offers a lucrative carreer for many Kaljistans who want to climb the social ladder and earn a name for themselves.

Kaljista is a danúvian city situated on the island of Kórsia. The City is one of the oldest settlements in the South of the continent, having been founded on the 1st of September 2023. Since the fall of Danúvia, it gradually became the central metropolitan area of the region, replacing Ístropolj as regional capital in the nations of [[Messenia]], [[Sanéa]] and the [[Diryn Imperium]].

Being the city from which the [[Messenian Metro]] started operating and expanding their vast tunnel system from, Kaljista is generally known as the Railway Capital.

=History=
==Danúvian Era==

Kaljista's origins lie in the first wave of expansion of the Duchy of [[Istropolj]] which would later be known as Grand Duchy of [[Danúvia]].

Settlers of Ister ethnicity would settle down in the most northern tip of the Island of Kórsia, giving their new home the name "Ajakse". Their settlement would primarily consist of elegant Ister wooden pillar houses on a solid stone base. The biggest of them, which is located on top of a larger hill, would soon become to be known as Tollhouse, as it was the base of operations for Danuvian tax collectors, also taxing maritime trade.

With the second wave of settlers arriving, Ajakse would receive a large amount of Ailb people to work the fields and primitive farms. They would take shelter in small primitive wooden houses which are today known as the Kaljistan slums. The Ailbs would give the place another name: Kaljista. And with the Ister part of the population dwindling and said ethnicity soon only be existing within the upper class, the old name of Ajakse would soon be swept away. "Kaljista" would finally be recognized as official settlement name by the Ducal office in Istropolj, when the settlement finally reached city status.

By then, the Tollhouse had been refitted into a townhall with the first mayor of Kaljista also being of the Ailb ethnicity.

The island of Kórsia was then organized into its own province, with its lands, now also consisting of the largest granary of Danúvia, governed from Kaljista.
Said time would be the start of the Age of prosperity for Kaljista, with industrialization setting in along with the addition of proper Ailb style brick buildings and a massive Blackstone bridge, leading up to a mountain on the other side of the Korsian Bay, which is now a key component in the connecting of the Southern and Northern road networks.

Kaljista also became the seat of the [[Dual Church o Egjenism]], with its first mayor Miklos Némann taking up the role of Équator, the faith's religious leader. Across Danúvia, Kaljista had generally been referred to as Scetét's city, giving birth to name inspirations such as the name of Kaljista's tavern: Scetét's Jest.

During the Age of Crisis and the fall of Danúvia, the last royalist remnant would have its base in Kaljista from where it would strike at revolutionary Republicans down south in the capital of Ístropolj. After crushing the last rebels, the Danúvian spirit was already fully dead, with its most southern cities handed over to Dirynum and many people fleeing the region.

Kaljista would undergo a short period of independence as Kórsian State before entering negotiations with the neighboring city state of Alaetia. (Modern-day Ephesus)

The negotiations would result in the establishment of the Principate of Messenia, which Kórsia, as its own province, became a part of. Through Kórsia, Messenia was also considered the rightful successor of Danúvia.

The New shift from the south towards the more northern Alaetia would see the rapid improvement of infrastructure such as the first metro line of the [[Messenian Metro]] between Alaetia and Kaljista as well as fortified borders along the road between the two cities to solidify control and guard the road against bordering Kothmire.

==Sanéan Era==
TBD

=Administration=
Kaljista is administrated by a Major and his cabinet, along with a autocratic City Council acting as legislative body. The council and the Mayor's cabinent both convene regularily in the Tollhouse to debate and decide on policies of any kind.

==Subdivisions==
Kaljista can be divided into 7 general districts: the old town of'''Kaljista Ovárpolj''' with the Tollhouse at its centre, the '''Kallisburgh''' guarding the western entrance and the bridge, the '''Gardens of Moonrise''', harboring the Gyha and the Haartmann Mausoleum, the '''Bidona slums''' on both sides of the Kórsian bay, the industrial centre of '''Kaljista Ypárpolj''' and '''Hemont Kazymir''', a natural fortress to assert effective control over the Kórsian Bay and the greant fields of '''Champ-búza''', an area taking up roughly a sixth of the island of Kórsia, supplying Kaljista's population with fresh crops. In between the Champ-búza and Ypárpolj lies the nature preserve of Hemont Ajakse.

=Demographics=
==Ethnicities==
The bulk of Kaljista’s Population (roughly 54%) is considered Danúvian of either Íster or Ailb origin, with the ancestors of the Danúvian inhabitants mainly having arrived during the first and second expansion wave of the Duchy of Istropolj as well as the fall of Old Danúvia. The latest wave of Danúvian immigration took place during the Mustyrian War, with many fleeing from the Chaos in the North.

At the same time, a number of Ephesinians and Mustyrians also settled on Korsia for similar reasons, nowadays equating to just short of 8% and 6% of the population respectively.

During the Sanéan era and the elevation of Kaljista to the capital of the Region, the city experienced a steady influx of Diryn merchants and settlers. The number of Diryn inhabitants was further inflated by the fall of Ashannar, with them now making up ⅕ of the Population.

The Introduction of the Diryn Imperium lured the Ashannari into the City, guided by his Radiance the Imperator Sol Aureus I. with every 1 in 8 people considered of Ashannari origin nowadays.

==Religion==
Historically, Kaljista had been the seat of the Egjenist Dual Church, a local Danúvian dualist faith. After Nykol Hartmann’s religious reformation, the whole of Danúvia became part of the international Moonrisen community within the enlightened Scetétian Church of Moonrise. At the moment 41% of Kaljista believes in Moonrisen teachings.

The other religions present had all been imported by citizens foreign to the area. Pyrannism first reached Kaljista during its time in Messenia and then during the Mustyrian war, with every 1 in 12 Kaljistans being a Pyrannist nowadays.

The largest religious group in Kaljista are the Solists. Already spreading to Kaljista in the Sanéan era, the formerly moonrisen dominated City became Solist by majority after the fall of Ashannar, which also saw part of the danúvian political elite convert to Solism to please the Imperator. The number of Solists in Kaljista amounts to roughly 51 per cent of the population, with all 3 largest ethnicities almost dominated by Solism.

==Society==

During the times of old Danúvia, the Ailbs had originally been the poor working class, living in the Kaljistan slums, while the Ísters acted as rulers and administrators. This imbalance shifted over time however, with the Ailbs ascending to become the City’s middle class, while the cultural fusion of Ailbs and Ísters continued to solidify.

In our times, the majority of upper class citizens are ethnic Danúvians of either faith, living in the oldest part of Kaljista and serving as members of the City Watch, Industrialists or as Administrators in the City Council. Furthermore, a new kind of Solist Elite has been settling on Korsia, exerting their influence by being overrepresented in the City Council, enjoying the backing of the Imperator.

The City’s lower class is primarily dominated by the Solist Ashannari, Moonrisen Danúvians and Pyrannists who mainly live in the poorest districts under the Grand Bridge. However, some Ashannari have ascended to upper ranks in Kaljista’s society by undergoing military careers in the City Watch. Furthermore the Ashannari, in response to the housing crisis that had been sparked by the waves of refugees, had gone ahead and constructed their own district on the other side of the Korsian Bay. The lower class, largest in numbers. represents the industrial backbone of the city, working day and night in Kaljista’s vast industrial complexes.

Kaljista's middle class is made up of Diryn and Danúvian merchants, bureaucrats, priests and foremen with numbers almost evenly split between Solists and Moonrisen.

All in all, Faith and wealth dictate the city’s political and social landscape the most, with people of the same faith or social class banding together over issues in different combinations, resulting in interesting dynamics and shifting balances of power.

=Military=
Since the fall of Danúvia, Kaljista has had a permanently standing military force, the '''Kaljista City Watch'''. First formed from danúvian kazymirist army remnants, it exercises military control over Kórsia and Ístropolj.

Its base of operations are the Kaljista Barracks, the Undercity, Kallisburgh, Mount Kazymir and the Mapping Guild in Ístropolj. The Kaljista City Watch has partaken in a number of prestigious military operations, such as the Liberation o Ístropolj, the capturing of [[Spurius Aemilianus]] and Nykol Haartmann's last stand against Sol Aureus.

Nowadays, the City Watch offers a lucrative carreer for many Kaljistans who want to climb the social ladder and earn a name for themselves.

The '''Messenian Metro''' (Messenian: Μετρό Μεσσηνίας) is a major passenger railway company operating under the [[Sanéan Rail Group]] in the regions that made up the former Principate of Messenia: Danúvia, Akadéa and Parakéa. There is no dedicated headquarters building for the company, but the administrative base is based in Kaljista. Of the Sanéan Rail Group companies, it is the largest company and has the largest network of lines within Sanéa.

== History ==
The Messenian Metro was founded on 10th March 2024 (5th Moon, 28th Dawn, 6th Rotation) with the commencement of the Kaljista-Alaetia Line. However, 8 days following its' founding, the [[Messenia|Principate of Messenia]] ratified its unification with the [[Dirynum|Duchy of Dirynum]], forming the [[Sanéa|Commonwealth of Sanéa]]. As such, the Messenian Metro was brought under the [[Sanéan Rail Group]] banner, becoming a subsidiary company within the group, together with the [[Diryn Metro and Tram Company]].

== Lines ==
The Messenian Metro currently operates a wholly underground network of lines mostly limited to northern and central Sanéa.

Kaljista is a danúvian city situated on the island of Kórsia. The City is one of the oldest settlements in the South of the continent, having been founded on the 1st of September 2023. Since the fall of Danúvia, it gradually became the central metropolitan area of the region, replacing Ístropolj as regional capital in the nations of [[Messenia]], [[Sanéa]] and the [[Diryn Imperium]].

Being the city from which the [[Messenian Metro]] started operating and expanding their vast tunnel system from, Kaljista is generally known as the Railway Capital.

=History=
==Danúvian Era==

Kaljista's origins lie in the first wave of expansion of the Duchy of [[Istropolj]] which would later be known as Grand Duchy of [[Danúvia]].

Settlers of Ister ethnicity would settle down in the most northern tip of the Island of Kórsia, giving their new home the name "Ajakse". Their settlement would primarily consist of elegant Ister wooden pillar houses on a solid stone base. The biggest of them, which is located on top of a larger hill, would soon become to be known as Tollhouse, as it was the base of operations for Danuvian tax collectors, also taxing maritime trade.

With the second wave of settlers arriving, Ajakse would receive a large amount of Ailb people to work the fields and primitive farms. They would take shelter in small primitive wooden houses which are today known as the Kaljistan slums. The Ailbs would give the place another name: Kaljista. And with the Ister part of the population dwindling and said ethnicity soon only be existing within the upper class, the old name of Ajakse would soon be swept away. "Kaljista" would finally be recognized as official settlement name by the Ducal office in Istropolj, when the settlement finally reached city status.

By then, the Tollhouse had been refitted into a townhall with the first mayor of Kaljista also being of the Ailb ethnicity.

The island of Kórsia was then organized into its own province, with its lands, now also consisting of the largest granary of Danúvia, governed from Kaljista.
Said time would be the start of the Age of prosperity for Kaljista, with industrialization setting in along with the addition of proper Ailb style brick buildings and a massive Blackstone bridge, leading up to a mountain on the other side of the Korsian Bay, which is now a key component in the connecting of the Southern and Northern road networks.

Kaljista also became the seat of the [[Dual Church o Egjenism]], with its first mayor Miklos Némann taking up the role of Équator, the faith's religious leader. Across Danúvia, Kaljista had generally been referred to as Scetét's city, giving birth to name inspirations such as the name of Kaljista's tavern: Scetét's Jest.

During the Age of Crisis and the fall of Danúvia, the last royalist remnant would have its base in Kaljista from where it would strike at revolutionary Republicans down south in the capital of Ístropolj. After crushing the last rebels, the Danúvian spirit was already fully dead, with its most southern cities handed over to Dirynum and many people fleeing the region.

Kaljista would undergo a short period of independence as Kórsian State before entering negotiations with the neighboring city state of Alaetia. (Modern-day Ephesus)

The negotiations would result in the establishment of the Principate of Messenia, which Kórsia, as its own province, became a part of. Through Kórsia, Messenia was also considered the rightful successor of Danúvia.

The New shift from the south towards the more northern Alaetia would see the rapid improvement of infrastructure such as the first metro line of the [[Messenian Metro]] between Alaetia and Kaljista as well as fortified borders along the road between the two cities to solidify control and guard the road against bordering Kothmire.

==Sanéan Era==
TBD

=Administration=
Kaljista is administrated by a Major and his cabinet, along with a autocratic City Council acting as legislative body. The council and the Mayor's cabinent both convene regularily in the Tollhouse to debate and decide on policies of any kind.

==Subdivisions==
Kaljista can be divided into 7 general districts: the '''Oltown''' with the Tollhouse at its centre, the '''Kallisburgh''' guarding the western entrance and the bridge, the '''Gardens of Moonrise''', harboring the Gyha and the Haartmann Mausoleum, the '''Bidona slums''' on both sides of the Kórsian bay, the industrial centre of '''Industry road''' and '''Mount Kazymir''', a natural fortress to assert effective control over the Kórsian Bay and the '''Grand Fields''', an area taking up roughly a sixth of the island of Kórsia, supplying Kaljista's population with fresh crops. In between the Grand fields and Industry Road lies the natural preserve of Mont Ajakse.

=Demographics=
==Ethnicities==
The bulk of Kaljista’s Population (roughly 54%) is considered Danúvian of either Íster or Ailb origin, with the ancestors of the Danúvian inhabitants mainly having arrived during the first and second expansion wave of the Duchy of Istropolj as well as the fall of Old Danúvia. The latest wave of Danúvian immigration took place during the Mustyrian War, with many fleeing from the Chaos in the North.

At the same time, a number of Ephesinians and Mustyrians also settled on Korsia for similar reasons, nowadays equating to just short of 8% and 6% of the population respectively.

During the Sanéan era and the elevation of Kaljista to the capital of the Region, the city experienced a steady influx of Diryn merchants and settlers. The number of Diryn inhabitants was further inflated by the fall of Ashannar, with them now making up ⅕ of the Population.

The Introduction of the Diryn Imperium lured the Ashannari into the City, guided by his Radiance the Imperator Sol Aureus I. with every 1 in 8 people considered of Ashannari origin nowadays.

==Religion==
Historically, Kaljista had been the seat of the Egjenist Dual Church, a local Danúvian dualist faith. After Nykol Hartmann’s religious reformation, the whole of Danúvia became part of the international Moonrisen community within the enlightened Scetétian Church of Moonrise. At the moment 41% of Kaljista believes in Moonrisen teachings.

The other religions present had all been imported by citizens foreign to the area. Pyrannism first reached Kaljista during its time in Messenia and then during the Mustyrian war, with every 1 in 12 Kaljistans being a Pyrannist nowadays.

The largest religious group in Kaljista are the Solists. Already spreading to Kaljista in the Sanéan era, the formerly moonrisen dominated City became Solist by majority after the fall of Ashannar, which also saw part of the danúvian political elite convert to Solism to please the Imperator. The number of Solists in Kaljista amounts to roughly 51 per cent of the population, with all 3 largest ethnicities almost dominated by Solism.
[[File:Religious_makeup10-01-25.png]]

''Data taken from Census on January 10th 2025''
==Society==

During the times of old Danúvia, the Ailbs had originally been the poor working class, living in the Kaljistan slums, while the Ísters acted as rulers and administrators. This imbalance shifted over time however, with the Ailbs ascending to become the City’s middle class, while the cultural fusion of Ailbs and Ísters continued to solidify.

In our times, the majority of upper class citizens are ethnic Danúvians of either faith, living in the oldest part of Kaljista and serving as members of the City Watch, Industrialists or as Administrators in the City Council. Furthermore, a new kind of Solist Elite has been settling on Korsia, exerting their influence by being overrepresented in the City Council, enjoying the backing of the Imperator.

The City’s lower class is primarily dominated by the Solist Ashannari, Moonrisen Danúvians and Pyrannists who mainly live in the poorest districts under the Grand Bridge. However, some Ashannari have ascended to upper ranks in Kaljista’s society by undergoing military careers in the City Watch. Furthermore the Ashannari, in response to the housing crisis that had been sparked by the waves of refugees, had gone ahead and constructed their own district on the other side of the Korsian Bay. The lower class, largest in numbers. represents the industrial backbone of the city, working day and night in Kaljista’s vast industrial complexes.

Kaljista's middle class is made up of Diryn and Danúvian merchants, bureaucrats, priests and foremen with numbers almost evenly split between Solists and Moonrisen.

All in all, Faith and wealth dictate the city’s political and social landscape the most, with people of the same faith or social class banding together over issues in different combinations, resulting in interesting dynamics and shifting balances of power.

=Military=
Since the fall of Danúvia, Kaljista has had a permanently standing military force, the '''Kaljista City Watch'''. First formed from danúvian kazymirist army remnants, it exercises military control over Kórsia and Ístropolj.

Its base of operations are the Kaljista Barracks, the Undercity, Kallisburgh, Mount Kazymir and the Mapping Guild in Ístropolj. The Kaljista City Watch has partaken in a number of prestigious military operations, such as the Liberation o Ístropolj, the capturing of [[Spurius Aemilianus]] and Nykol Haartmann's last stand against Sol Aureus.

Nowadays, the City Watch offers a lucrative carreer for many Kaljistans who want to climb the social ladder and earn a name for themselves.

Egjenism is a dualist Religion, first formalized by [[Miklos Némann]] after the translation, bridging-together and summarising of old proto-danúvian scrolls. It once acted as formal state religion of the nations of [[Danúvia]], [[Mustyria]] and [[Hollenberg|Danúvia-Scneimunt]]. But due to the spreading of Pyrannism in Mustyria and the [[Scetétian Translation]] by [[Nykol Haartmann]], only a few isolated communities remain in the country of [[Hollenberg]] (formerly Danúvia-Scneimunt). The Dual Church of Egjenism is officially defunct and the position of Équator remains vacant ever since.

='''Teachings'''=
The teachings of Egjenism offer the follower two different paths to walk on.

===the Path of Fén===
the path of Fén, which encourages a spiritual, communal and simple way of life. Often pursued by people from lower social classes, such as workers and slaves

===The Path of Scetét===
The path of Scetét, which encourages a materialist, individualist and more luxurious way of life. Often pursued by members of the upper social classes, such as merchants, nobles and members of the bourgeoisie.

===Dualism and acceptance===
While opposing life styles are being taught by the 2 patrons, followers of Egjenism are expected to respect the other path and there are even those that "walk both parts", choosing to follow what they believe is the best from both worlds.

='''Dualist Church of Egjenism'''=
The dualist Church of Egjenism was a single Organisation and the official institution of the Egjenist faith. It was headed by the so called "Equatór" who acted as unifier and ensured continuing co-existence, acceptance and cooperation between the paths of Fén and Scétet.

The Equator was selected by the most prestigious Egjenists of Danuvia. These were Scetétian bishops that have risen in rank, making use of their skills, heritage and influence, on one hand and popular priests of Fén that have garnered support from the commoner to be able to fullfil their purpose as dedicated follower of Fén and Egjenism on the other hand.

='''History'''=
Tbd

='''Religious Texts'''=
the following Egjenist religious texts were brought together to form the Egjenist chronicles.

==Origin Story==

Once Upon a time, two brothers, bearing the names of Fén and Scetét, roamed through the vastness of chaos and nothingness. They sought a home for themselves so they decided to make a dent into the chaos, setting the foundations for a paradise, the lands of Cinder.

As it is only natural for brothers to compete with one another over control, they sought to avoid unnecessary conflict and divided their new home into 2 realms. Fén would become Lord of the spiritual realm, while Scetét would be granted total control over the realm of matter.

The two brothers wanted to share their paradise with beings, worthy of calling the lands of Cinder their home as well. So they created us. We, who would always walk in both the realm of Fén, with our mind, and the realm of Scétet, with our body.

For us chosen, the eternal patrons laid out 2 paths:

The path of Fén, that teaches us to let go of personal property, to live in a simple and communal way as well as to fully devouch one's mind to Fén, with the body merely a tool to fully walk the path of light.

The Path of Scetét, that teaches us to watch out for ourselves, to live an individualist and materialist way of life, with the mind merely a tool to fully walk the path of darkness.

Yet one can never rid himself of one realm completely, as we walk in both worlds, and has to pay respect to either of the divine, so as to not be consumed by chaos.

==Birth of Fén and Scetét==

In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity. These two were Egjen, Lord of Balance and Justice, and Végzet, the Primordial Chaos. For an eternity the two had existed in constant conflict, as Végzet sought to consume Egjen entirely and bring about pure and eternal chaos. So ravenous was her hunger that Egjen needed to fight back against her constantly, he could never win, only hold her off.

Egjen knew that he could not fight her off forever however, and so sought to strike a deal with Végzet. He would allow for himself to be consumed, but only if she would bear him a child. Egjen had wished for a place that could permanently resist chaos, yet had come to realize that only beings evolving from chaos could be powerful enough to create a big enough dent within chaos to establish such a paradise.

Végzet, not realizing his intentions, readily agreed to this, knowing not that she would birth beings able to defeat her. With this agreement formed, Egjen was consumed, and at the same time two beings burst forth from her, Fén, Lord of Light, and Scetét, Lord of Darkness. The two, though only newly born drove their mother back, leaving a great void behind, where they could begin their creation.

==A Treatise on the Behavior of the Priests of Fén==

Priests of the Lord of Light must set themselves apart from the Priests of Scetét in their dress, their behavior, and their lifestyle. Unlike the priests of the Lord of Dark, who have little expectations for restraint, priests of Fén must restrain their actions. This treatise is a guide for the behavior of the priests of the Lord of Light, so that all may know what is to be expected of them.

'''Lifestyle'''

A priest of Fén should live simply. They should avoid extravagant food, dress, or actions.

'''Food'''

Priests of the Lord of Light should consume simple food. They should avoid any rich foods, and instead eat the same food they give to their people who cannot provide for themselves. They should avoid starving themselves but should fast often.

'''Clothing'''

Priests of the Lord of Light should be dressed simply, in light coloured or white clothing, and should avoid unnecessary decorations, jewelry, or other items not available to the common man. Simple robes are acceptable, but all should have a hood to wear in holy places.

'''Family'''

A priest of the Lord of Light should not favour their family. They should strive to be without bias in all dealings, especially those of kith and kin. A priest is allowed to wed, but must be true to their spouse, and may only ever have one partner. Priests are encouraged to take a vow of chastity, however.

'''Priestly Duties'''

There are various duties priests of the Lord of Light are expected to undertake, both in regular life and extraordinary circumstances.

'''Routine'''

Priests of Fén should rise with the morning sun. They should then spend two hours in prayer and meditation. They should then eat their morning meal, then serve the same meal to those who come to them seeking help. They should then head out into the community, doing good work and speaking the name of Fén to the people. They should return to the temple by noon, where they will repeat what they did for their morning meal. The afternoon should be spent once again in prayer and meditation. The evening meal shall once again follow in the pattern of the two previous meals. In the evening, priests should gather in worship, singing and praising, as well as learning from their bishops. They should then return to their domiciles and fall asleep when the sun sets.

'''Maintaining Sacred Flames'''

Priests of Fén are expected to maintain any sacred flames ongoing in their temples. If they are assigned to this duty, they are to prioritise it above all else. If the flame dies, the priest in charge at the time may be punished or defrocked. On the occasion a sacred flame must be put out for any reason, it must be put out with water from a sacred pool of Scetét.

'''Festivals'''

During festivals ascribed to Fén, priests of the Lord of Light should be actively involved in ensuring that it is successful. During festivals ascribed to the Lord of Dark, priests of Fén should be willing to assist the priests of Scetét but remain to the side unless asked.

'''Temple Maintenance'''

Temples of Fén should be cleaned and repaired by his priests. The temple itself is required to pay for the costs of repairs.

While opposing life styles are being taught by the 2 patrons, followers of Egjenism are expected to respect the other path and there are even those that "walk both parts", choosing to follow what they believe is the best from both worlds.

='''Dualist Church of Egjenism'''=
The dualist Church of Egjenism was a single Organisation and the official institution of the Egjenist faith. It was headed by the so called "Equatór" who acted as unifier and ensured continuing co-existence, acceptance and cooperation between the paths of Fén and Scétet.

The Equator was selected by the most prestigious Egjenists of Danuvia. These were Scetétian bishops that have risen in rank, making use of their skills, heritage and influence, on one hand and popular priests of Fén that have garnered support from the commoner to be able to fullfil their purpose as dedicated follower of Fén and Egjenism on the other hand.

='''History'''=
Tbd

='''Religious Texts'''=
the following Egjenist religious texts were brought together to form the Egjenist chronicles.

==Origin Story==
Once Upon a time, two brothers, bearing the names of Fén and Scetét, roamed through the vastness of chaos and nothingness. They sought a home for themselves so they decided to make a dent into the chaos, setting the foundations for a paradise, the lands of Cinder.

As it is only natural for brothers to compete with one another over control, they sought to avoid unnecessary conflict and divided their new home into 2 realms. Fén would become Lord of the spiritual realm, while Scetét would be granted total control over the realm of matter.

The two brothers wanted to share their paradise with beings, worthy of calling the lands of Cinder their home as well. So they created us. We, who would always walk in both the realm of Fén, with our mind, and the realm of Scétet, with our body.

For us chosen, the eternal patrons laid out 2 paths:

The path of Fén, that teaches us to let go of personal property, to live in a simple and communal way as well as to fully devouch one's mind to Fén, with the body merely a tool to fully walk the path of light.

The Path of Scetét, that teaches us to watch out for ourselves, to live an individualist and materialist way of life, with the mind merely a tool to fully walk the path of darkness.

Yet one can never rid himself of one realm completely, as we walk in both worlds, and has to pay respect to either of the divine, so as to not be consumed by chaos.

==Birth of Fén and Scetét==
In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity. These two were Egjen, Lord of Balance and Justice, and Végzet, the Primordial Chaos. For an eternity the two had existed in constant conflict, as Végzet sought to consume Egjen entirely and bring about pure and eternal chaos. So ravenous was her hunger that Egjen needed to fight back against her constantly, he could never win, only hold her off.

Egjen knew that he could not fight her off forever however, and so sought to strike a deal with Végzet. He would allow for himself to be consumed, but only if she would bear him a child. Egjen had wished for a place that could permanently resist chaos, yet had come to realize that only beings evolving from chaos could be powerful enough to create a big enough dent within chaos to establish such a paradise.

Végzet, not realizing his intentions, readily agreed to this, knowing not that she would birth beings able to defeat her. With this agreement formed, Egjen was consumed, and at the same time two beings burst forth from her, Fén, Lord of Light, and Scetét, Lord of Darkness. The two, though only newly born drove their mother back, leaving a great void behind, where they could begin their creation.

==A Treatise on the Behavior of the Priests of Fén==

Priests of the Lord of Light must set themselves apart from the Priests of Scetét in their dress, their behavior, and their lifestyle. Unlike the priests of the Lord of Dark, who have little expectations for restraint, priests of Fén must restrain their actions. This treatise is a guide for the behavior of the priests of the Lord of Light, so that all may know what is to be expected of them.

'''Lifestyle'''

A priest of Fén should live simply. They should avoid extravagant food, dress, or actions.

'''Food'''

Priests of the Lord of Light should consume simple food. They should avoid any rich foods, and instead eat the same food they give to their people who cannot provide for themselves. They should avoid starving themselves but should fast often.

'''Clothing'''

Priests of the Lord of Light should be dressed simply, in light coloured or white clothing, and should avoid unnecessary decorations, jewelry, or other items not available to the common man. Simple robes are acceptable, but all should have a hood to wear in holy places.

'''Family'''

A priest of the Lord of Light should not favour their family. They should strive to be without bias in all dealings, especially those of kith and kin. A priest is allowed to wed, but must be true to their spouse, and may only ever have one partner. Priests are encouraged to take a vow of chastity, however.

'''Priestly Duties'''

There are various duties priests of the Lord of Light are expected to undertake, both in regular life and extraordinary circumstances.

'''Routine'''

Priests of Fén should rise with the morning sun. They should then spend two hours in prayer and meditation. They should then eat their morning meal, then serve the same meal to those who come to them seeking help. They should then head out into the community, doing good work and speaking the name of Fén to the people. They should return to the temple by noon, where they will repeat what they did for their morning meal. The afternoon should be spent once again in prayer and meditation. The evening meal shall once again follow in the pattern of the two previous meals. In the evening, priests should gather in worship, singing and praising, as well as learning from their bishops. They should then return to their domiciles and fall asleep when the sun sets.

'''Maintaining Sacred Flames'''

Priests of Fén are expected to maintain any sacred flames ongoing in their temples. If they are assigned to this duty, they are to prioritise it above all else. If the flame dies, the priest in charge at the time may be punished or defrocked. On the occasion a sacred flame must be put out for any reason, it must be put out with water from a sacred pool of Scetét.

'''Festivals'''

During festivals ascribed to Fén, priests of the Lord of Light should be actively involved in ensuring that it is successful. During festivals ascribed to the Lord of Dark, priests of Fén should be willing to assist the priests of Scetét but remain to the side unless asked.

'''Temple Maintenance'''

Temples of Fén should be cleaned and repaired by his priests. The temple itself is required to pay for the costs of repairs.

Egjenism is a dualist Religion, first formalized by [[Miklos Némann]] after the translation, bridging-together and summarising of old proto-danúvian scrolls. It once acted as formal state religion of the nations of [[Danúvia]], [[Mustyria]] and [[Hollenberg|Danúvia-Scneimunt]]. But due to the spreading of Pyrannism in Mustyria and the [[Scetétian Translation]] by [[Nykol Haartmann]], only a few isolated communities remain in the country of [[Hollenberg]] (formerly Danúvia-Scneimunt). The Dual Church of Egjenism is officially defunct and the position of Équator remains vacant ever since.

Egjenism is a dualist Religion, first formalized by [[Miklos Némann]] after the translation, bridging-together and summarising of old proto-danúvian scrolls. It once acted as formal state religion of the nations of [[Danúvia]], [[Mustyria]] and [[Hollenberg|Danúvia-Scneimunt]]. But due to the spreading of Pyrannism in Mustyria and the [[Scetétian Translation]] by [[Nykol Haartmann]], only a few isolated communities remain in the country of [[Hollenberg]] (formerly Danúvia-Scneimunt). The Dual Church of Egjenism is officially defunct and the position of Équator remains vacant ever since.

='''Teachings'''=
The teachings of Egjenism offer the follower two different paths to walk on.

===the Path of Fén===
the path of Fén, which encourages a spiritual, communal and simple way of life. Often pursued by people from lower social classes, such as workers and slaves

===The Path of Scetét===
The path of Scetét, which encourages a materialist, individualist and more luxurious way of life. Often pursued by members of the upper social classes, such as merchants, nobles and members of the bourgeoisie.

===Dualism and acceptance===
While opposing life styles are being taught by the 2 patrons, followers of Egjenism are expected to respect the other path and there are even those that "walk both parts", choosing to follow what they believe is the best from both worlds.

='''Dualist Church of Egjenism'''=
The dualist Church of Egjenism was a single Organisation and the official institution of the Egjenist faith. It was headed by the so called "Equatór" who acted as unifier and ensured continuing co-existence, acceptance and cooperation between the paths of Fén and Scétet.

The Equator was selected by the most prestigious Egjenists of Danuvia. These were Scetétian bishops that have risen in rank, making use of their skills, heritage and influence, on one hand and popular priests of Fén that have garnered support from the commoner to be able to fullfil their purpose as dedicated follower of Fén and Egjenism on the other hand.

='''History'''=

='''Religious Texts'''=
the following Egjenist religious texts were brought together to form the Egjenist chronicles.

==Origin Story==
Once Upon a time, two brothers, bearing the names of Fén and Scetét, roamed through the vastness of chaos and nothingness. They sought a home for themselves so they decided to make a dent into the chaos, setting the foundations for a paradise, the lands of Cinder.

As it is only natural for brothers to compete with one another over control, they sought to avoid unnecessary conflict and divided their new home into 2 realms. Fén would become Lord of the spiritual realm, while Scetét would be granted total control over the realm of matter.

The two brothers wanted to share their paradise with beings, worthy of calling the lands of Cinder their home as well. So they created us. We, who would always walk in both the realm of Fén, with our mind, and the realm of Scétet, with our body.

For us chosen, the eternal patrons laid out 2 paths:

The path of Fén, that teaches us to let go of personal property, to live in a simple and communal way as well as to fully devouch one's mind to Fén, with the body merely a tool to fully walk the path of light.

The Path of Scetét, that teaches us to watch out for ourselves, to live an individualist and materialist way of life, with the mind merely a tool to fully walk the path of darkness.

Yet one can never rid himself of one realm completely, as we walk in both worlds, and has to pay respect to either of the divine, so as to not be consumed by chaos.

==Birth of Fén and Scetét==
In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity. These two were Egjen, Lord of Balance and Justice, and Végzet, the Primordial Chaos. For an eternity the two had existed in constant conflict, as Végzet sought to consume Egjen entirely and bring about pure and eternal chaos. So ravenous was her hunger that Egjen needed to fight back against her constantly, he could never win, only hold her off.

Egjen knew that he could not fight her off forever however, and so sought to strike a deal with Végzet. He would allow for himself to be consumed, but only if she would bear him a child. Egjen had wished for a place that could permanently resist chaos, yet had come to realize that only beings evolving from chaos could be powerful enough to create a big enough dent within chaos to establish such a paradise.

Végzet, not realizing his intentions, readily agreed to this, knowing not that she would birth beings able to defeat her. With this agreement formed, Egjen was consumed, and at the same time two beings burst forth from her, Fén, Lord of Light, and Scetét, Lord of Darkness. The two, though only newly born drove their mother back, leaving a great void behind, where they could begin their creation.

==A Treatise on the Behavior of the Priests of Fén==

Priests of the Lord of Light must set themselves apart from the Priests of Scetét in their dress, their behavior, and their lifestyle. Unlike the priests of the Lord of Dark, who have little expectations for restraint, priests of Fén must restrain their actions. This treatise is a guide for the behavior of the priests of the Lord of Light, so that all may know what is to be expected of them.

'''Lifestyle'''
A priest of Fén should live simply. They should avoid extravagant food, dress, or actions.

'''Food'''
Priests of the Lord of Light should consume simple food. They should avoid any rich foods, and instead eat the same food they give to their people who cannot provide for themselves. They should avoid starving themselves but should fast often.

'''Clothing'''
Priests of the Lord of Light should be dressed simply, in light coloured or white clothing, and should avoid unnecessary decorations, jewelry, or other items not available to the common man. Simple robes are acceptable, but all should have a hood to wear in holy places.

'''Family'''
A priest of the Lord of Light should not favour their family. They should strive to be without bias in all dealings, especially those of kith and kin. A priest is allowed to wed, but must be true to their spouse, and may only ever have one partner. Priests are encouraged to take a vow of chastity, however.

'''Priestly Duties'''
There are various duties priests of the Lord of Light are expected to undertake, both in regular life and extraordinary circumstances.

'''Routine'''
Priests of Fén should rise with the morning sun. They should then spend two hours in prayer and meditation. They should then eat their morning meal, then serve the same meal to those who come to them seeking help. They should then head out into the community, doing good work and speaking the name of Fén to the people. They should return to the temple by noon, where they will repeat what they did for their morning meal. The afternoon should be spent once again in prayer and meditation. The evening meal shall once again follow in the pattern of the two previous meals. In the evening, priests should gather in worship, singing and praising, as well as learning from their bishops. They should then return to their domiciles and fall asleep when the sun sets.

'''Maintaining Sacred Flames'''
Priests of Fén are expected to maintain any sacred flames ongoing in their temples. If they are assigned to this duty, they are to prioritise it above all else. If the flame dies, the priest in charge at the time may be punished or defrocked. On the occasion a sacred flame must be put out for any reason, it must be put out with water from a sacred pool of Scetét.

'''Festivals'''
During festivals ascribed to Fén, priests of the Lord of Light should be actively involved in ensuring that it is successful. During festivals ascribed to the Lord of Dark, priests of Fén should be willing to assist the priests of Scetét but remain to the side unless asked.

'''Temple Maintenance'''
Temples of Fén should be cleaned and repaired by his priests. The temple itself is required to pay for the costs of repairs.

Egjenism is a dualist Religion, first formalized by [[Miklos Némann]] after the translation, bridging-together and summarising of old proto-danúvian scrolls. It once acted as formal state religion of the nations of [[Danúvia]], [[Mustyria]] and [[Hollenberg|Danúvia-Scneimunt]]. But due to the spreading of Pyrannism in Mustyria and the Scetétian Translation by [[Nykol Haartmann]], only a few isolated communities remain in the country of [[Hollenberg]] (formerly Danúvia-Scneimunt). The Dual Church of Egjenism is officially defunct and the position of Équator remains vacant ever since.

='''Teachings'''=
The teachings of Egjenism offer the follower two different paths to walk on.

===the Path of Fén===
the path of Fén, which encourages a spiritual, communal and simple way of life. Often pursued by people from lower social classes, such as workers and slaves

===The Path of Scetét===
The path of Scetét, which encourages a materialist, individualist and more luxurious way of life. Often pursued by members of the upper social classes, such as merchants, nobles and members of the bourgeoisie.

===Dualism and acceptance===
While opposing life styles are being taught by the 2 patrons, followers of Egjenism are expected to respect the other path and there are even those that "walk both parts", choosing to follow what they believe is the best from both worlds.

='''Dualist Church of Egjenism'''=
The dualist Church of Egjenism was a single Organisation and the official institution of the Egjenist faith. It was headed by the so called "Equatór" who acted as unifier and ensured continuing co-existence, acceptance and cooperation between the paths of Fén and Scétet.

The Equator was selected by the most prestigious Egjenists of Danuvia. These were Scetétian bishops that have risen in rank, making use of their skills, heritage and influence, on one hand and popular priests of Fén that have garnered support from the commoner to be able to fullfil their purpose as dedicated follower of Fén and Egjenism on the other hand.

='''Religious Texts'''=
the following Egjenist religious texts were brought together to form the Egjenist chronicles.

==Origin Story==
Once Upon a time, two brothers, bearing the names of Fén and Scetét, roamed through the vastness of chaos and nothingness. They sought a home for themselves so they decided to make a dent into the chaos, setting the foundations for a paradise, the lands of Cinder.

As it is only natural for brothers to compete with one another over control, they sought to avoid unnecessary conflict and divided their new home into 2 realms. Fén would become Lord of the spiritual realm, while Scetét would be granted total control over the realm of matter.

The two brothers wanted to share their paradise with beings, worthy of calling the lands of Cinder their home as well. So they created us. We, who would always walk in both the realm of Fén, with our mind, and the realm of Scétet, with our body.

For us chosen, the eternal patrons laid out 2 paths:

The path of Fén, that teaches us to let go of personal property, to live in a simple and communal way as well as to fully devouch one's mind to Fén, with the body merely a tool to fully walk the path of light.

The Path of Scetét, that teaches us to watch out for ourselves, to live an individualist and materialist way of life, with the mind merely a tool to fully walk the path of darkness.

Yet one can never rid himself of one realm completely, as we walk in both worlds, and has to pay respect to either of the divine, so as to not be consumed by chaos.

==Birth of Fén and Scetét==
In time immemorial, there were but two, who had existed for all eternity. These two were Egjen, Lord of Balance and Justice, and Végzet, the Primordial Chaos. For an eternity the two had existed in constant conflict, as Végzet sought to consume Egjen entirely and bring about pure and eternal chaos. So ravenous was her hunger that Egjen needed to fight back against her constantly, he could never win, only hold her off.

Egjen knew that he could not fight her off forever however, and so sought to strike a deal with Végzet. He would allow for himself to be consumed, but only if she would bear him a child. Egjen had wished for a place that could permanently resist chaos, yet had come to realize that only beings evolving from chaos could be powerful enough to create a big enough dent within chaos to establish such a paradise.

Végzet, not realizing his intentions, readily agreed to this, knowing not that she would birth beings able to defeat her. With this agreement formed, Egjen was consumed, and at the same time two beings burst forth from her, Fén, Lord of Light, and Scetét, Lord of Darkness. The two, though only newly born drove their mother back, leaving a great void behind, where they could begin their creation.

==A Treatise on the Behavior of the Priests of Fén==

Priests of the Lord of Light must set themselves apart from the Priests of Scetét in their dress, their behavior, and their lifestyle. Unlike the priests of the Lord of Dark, who have little expectations for restraint, priests of Fén must restrain their actions. This treatise is a guide for the behavior of the priests of the Lord of Light, so that all may know what is to be expected of them.

Lifestyle
A priest of Fén should live simply. They should avoid extravagant food, dress, or actions.

Food
Priests of the Lord of Light should consume simple food. They should avoid any rich foods, and instead eat the same food they give to their people who cannot provide for themselves. They should avoid starving themselves but should fast often.

Clothing
Priests of the Lord of Light should be dressed simply, in light coloured or white clothing, and should avoid unnecessary decorations, jewelry, or other items not available to the common man. Simple robes are acceptable, but all should have a hood to wear in holy places.

Family
A priest of the Lord of Light should not favour their family. They should strive to be without bias in all dealings, especially those of kith and kin. A priest is allowed to wed, but must be true to their spouse, and may only ever have one partner. Priests are encouraged to take a vow of chastity, however.

Priestly Duties
There are various duties priests of the Lord of Light are expected to undertake, both in regular life and extraordinary circumstances.

Routine
Priests of Fén should rise with the morning sun. They should then spend two hours in prayer and meditation. They should then eat their morning meal, then serve the same meal to those who come to them seeking help. They should then head out into the community, doing good work and speaking the name of Fén to the people. They should return to the temple by noon, where they will repeat what they did for their morning meal. The afternoon should be spent once again in prayer and meditation. The evening meal shall once again follow in the pattern of the two previous meals. In the evening, priests should gather in worship, singing and praising, as well as learning from their bishops. They should then return to their domiciles and fall asleep when the sun sets.

Maintaining Sacred Flames
Priests of Fén are expected to maintain any sacred flames ongoing in their temples. If they are assigned to this duty, they are to prioritise it above all else. If the flame dies, the priest in charge at the time may be punished or defrocked. On the occasion a sacred flame must be put out for any reason, it must be put out with water from a sacred pool of Scetét.

Festivals
During festivals ascribed to Fén, priests of the Lord of Light should be actively involved in ensuring that it is successful. During festivals ascribed to the Lord of Dark, priests of Fén should be willing to assist the priests of Scetét but remain to the side unless asked.

Temple Maintenance
Temples of Fén should be cleaned and repaired by his priests. The temple itself is required to pay for the costs of repairs.

[[File:Danouvia-Scneimunt.png|thumb|Flag of Danouvia-Scneimunt (outdated)]]
Hollenberg, officially known as the '''Grand Duchy of Hollenberg''', formerly as the Grand Duchy of Danouvia-Scneimunt, is a state located in the deep south of the continent of Cinder. The de facto capital is [[Scneimunt city]] in the north-east of the country below the highest peak on the continent of Cinder, Scneimunt mountain. It is bordered by the [[Commonwealth of Sanéa]] to the north-east, The [[Holy Pyrannic Empire]] to the east and north and Durnath to the south, taking it's colonies into account it also borders [[Sprúsia]].

Hollenberg first emerged as a state after being granted independence as the County of Scneimunt during the fall of the Grand Duchy of Danouvia, later on it was raised to a Duchy itself and proclaimed to be Danouvia-Scneimunt, to the anger of Messenia and Dirynum. During March of 2024 the country experienced a revolution, which succeeded in creating a revolutionary government and toppling the Grand Duke. Later on Danouvia-Scneimunt became a member of the revintern which it left after a monarchist coup. After the establisment of a democratic government the nation was renamed to Hollenberg.

== Etymology ==
The name Danouvia-Scneimunt comes from the lands of Danouvia and Scneimunt, the former part has caused some contreversy among the residents of the [[Commonwealth of Sanéa]] as the area of Danouvia proper is not in the revolutionary state of Danouvia-Scneimunt. Despite this, the name was chosen as the then head of house Kazymir tolerated Count Stefan Sagadyn to elevate himself to Grand duke and also because the area was settled by residents of the former Grand Duchy of Danouvia and because the County of Scneimunt itself was a vassal of the Grand Duchy.

The name Scneimunt is taken from the region of Scneimunt, which recieves it's name from the mountain of Scneimunt, which is the highest peak on continental Cinder and was for a while the highest known peak in the world. It was first written down as Scnémut translating roughly to Snowy peak in the Pannun language. Later on it was changed to Scnémunt and then finally to Scneimunt.

The name Hollenberg comes from the mountain and massif of Hollenberg in the north of the country, meaning Mountain of caves. This mountain was the first to be discovered by Danouvian explorers and is also favoured by the current grand duke Stefan II who himself resides in the Hollenberg valley. The name itself was voted by the citizens as the most suitable for the name of the country when the short-lived democratic government set up a referendum on the name. Notably there was much opposition to the referendum as the name Scneimunt was not even an available option.

== History ==

=== Settlement ===
The first documented settlers of the region came in November of 2023 from Danouvia. These settlers were mountaineers, among them being Stefan Sagadyn, the later Grand Duke of Danouvia-Scneimunt. After falling in love with the natural beauty of the area, Stefan Sagadyn almost immediately proclaimed it a part of the Grand Duchy of Danouvia, which caused some tensions between Stefan Sagadyn and the Danouvian government, specifically Frankos Kazymir. After long talks it was decided that the newly discovered land would be a vassal of the Grand Duchy of Danouvia, the new land was henceforth known as the County of Scneimunt. The area first settled was on the western side of Scneimunt mountain, the original cottages remain standing to this day.

=== Fall of Danouvia and statehood ===
On January 4th 2024, the dissolution of the Grand Duchy of Danouvia was announced, this came as a shock to the Scneimuntinian population, who are known as fierce patriots. One of the last orders of the old Danouvian state was to set free the County of Scneimunt, who's first and only count was Stefan Sagadyn. During this period the construction of Scneimunt city began with the northern facade of the Egjenist church, it is considered one of the greatest architectural monuements in Danouvia-Scneimunt. Even though Stefan Sagadyn was granted independence, he was dissatisfied with the dissolution of Danouvia, and yearned for a new Danouvian state. After recieveing permission from the head of house Kazymir, Stefan Sagadyn proclaimed himself Grand Duke Stefan I. of Danouvia-Scneimunt. The news was met with backlash from the states of Messenia and Dyrinum, as the core Danouvian territories lay on their land.

=== Revolution and fall of the monarchy ===
On March 10th 2024, a revolution broke out in the town of Smilets By in the west of the country. The initial revolt was quickly suppressed, but it inspired further revolutionary activity across the nation. Soon the Ducal army could not control the situation and the revolutionaries siezed the capital. After an intense struggle, the revolutionaries even managed to break into Duke's castle, where they promptly defenstrated him.

=== Colonialisation and expansion ===
Following the collapse of neighboring Beira at the hands of a plague, its leader decided to give its lands to Scneimunt, increasing its landmass. The state also established colonies in the South-eastern continent of the world. Later on it also became one of the signatories of the Southern border treaty, which divided the south eastern continent between Danouvia-Scneimunt, Sprusia, Firgaards and Castelania. According to the treaty Danouvia-Scneimunt's colonial claims were recognised and an exploration zone was added in which the state may have colonised further without any interactions or obstacles from treaty signatories. In this exploration zone was the highest peak in the entire world Hohenstrmivrh (y:256) and the province of Landsberg.

=== Counter-revolution and restoration of the monarchy ===
In mid June 2024, the monarchist remnants from the colonies toppled the revolutionary regime and restored the Grand Duchy of Danouvia-Scneimunt. It was found out that the line of the Sagadyn grand dukes had in fact not gone extinct and the last surviving member was living in the colonies. He and his supporters first siezed the revolutionist stronghold of Pičkovškovo (named after the chairman of the party Josef Pičkovšek himself) and from there sailed to the mainland. The monarchists were warmly welcomed as the Revolutionary government had become unpopular due to bringing the country into a war with Ashannar. With the public's support the monarchists now overpowered the Revolutionists and Josef Pičkovšek had no alternative but to step down but to disband the revolutionist party and welcome the monarchists into Scneimunt city.

=== Democracy and dwarven issues ===
After his trial in Barbacena, Khanstantin Linetti of Tintorini and his supporters fled Ritannia and found refuge on the southern frontier of Danouvia-Scneimunt. There they soon came into contact with Danouvian cartographers and geographers who were mapping the region and making sure it was suitable for settlementation. Soon an agreement was reached and the Ritannian refugees were warmly welcomed into Danouvia-Scneimunt. They soon began building their own city near where they had landed, that city becoming known as Brück an der Kan or Kansbrücke as it's most iconic feature is the bridge over the Kan river. But the Ritannians did not come to stay and after a short stay, they decided to return to their native land. At this point in time another group came to the region, these being the Dwarves. Eventually the Dwarves grew so much in number that they outnumbered the Danouvians and forced upon them a democratic system. Soon the name of the nation itself was changed, to the relief of the Danouvians a dwarven name was not chosen. Nonetheless the Danouvians still heavily invested in the southern regions and helped the dwarves, but the dwarves felt that their and the Danouvian culture were not remotely similair and so they held their own referndum on indepenendence which resulted in a tie, notwithstanding the result of the referendum and the advice of his closest companions the Grand Duke still decided to let the Dwarves go, which greatly angered Josef Pičkovšek, who had come back into favour with the monarchy and even became Grand Vizier. The land and population loss of Durnath gaining independence was severe, Hollenberg lost more than half it's population and a massive chunk of it's territory. Despite this Dwarven-Hollenberger relations remain good, as was the only condition of the Grand Duke.

=== Return of Absolutism ===
Following the independence of Durnath, the population of Hollenberg felt like it had no more need of a democratic government, and so did the Grand Duke, who was always in opposition to it. From his winter residence west of Alfama he issued a decree that dissolved parliament, invalidated the constitution and gave all power to himself. The populace greatly rejoiced after hearing this news.

== Geography ==
Hollenberg is situated in the southern tip of the continent of Cinder. It is a predominantly mountainous land, with it's highest peak being Scneimunt mountain which reaches all the way up to y: 218. Danouvia-Scneimunt posses only 1 surface body of freshwater, that being the Valewood lake, which is in the far east of the country. Indigenous tree types are spruce, oak, dark oak, birch and jungle.
=== Settlements: ===
[[File:Scneimunt City.webp|thumb|Scneimunt city|331x331px]]
- Scneimunt City - 1 permanent inhabitant

- Smilets by - 1 permanent inhabitant

- Valewood - no permanent inhabitants

- Pičkovškovo - no permanent inhabitants

- Alfama - no permanent inhabitants

- Valverde - 2 permanent inhabitants

== Culture ==
While Hollenberg may not be rich in riches, one thing it is rich in is culture. The nation is famed for it's numerous architectural landmarks, considered some of the highest quality on Cinder. While the Danouvian buildings are high quality, they are also very expensive and time consuming to build and so there has been some contreversy as Danouvian builders did not finish the backs of these buildings. In May of 2024, a breakthrough was made, as it was decided by the Scneimunt city authorities to finish the backs of the buildings in the city something which unfortunately has not yet been fully realised as of September 2024.
