The corner of Main Street, Dragon's Crown, Myralis

Myralian Marketplace

Dec 28 (posting a few minutes into the 29th but shut up dont worry about it), my first post yeet.

The Dyndi have been the subject of misunderstanding and ultimately hatred throughout Myralis since its founding. Their yellow skin, a sickly hue in comparison to the snowy, fair complexion of the Myralians, and their devilish ears, pointed toward the sky, have led to a prominent disdain and ultimately segregation at its highest form. The Dyndi have always been outcasts in Myralian society, spit on and cast aside for centuries. The Dyndi population in Myralis is minimal, as they are forbidden in most cities, with the majority of the population residing within the clans of the Dwytir.

Within Myralian society, the Dyndi are often homeless drunks, addicts and beggars. Seen as a disgrace by the Dyndi to the East, they are further outcasts of their own homeland. As agile hunters throughout the Dwytir, for some Dyndi, their skills translate well to thievery, making them some of the most cunning thieves and pickpockets of Myralis. While this provides wealth and purpose to many individuals, it also contributes to the bad reputation of the Dyndi, deeming them as mischievous and untrustworthy.

After centuries of conflict and waging wars, connections between the Myralians and the Dyndi have always been sore, though an era of peace is among the races, as conflicts continue to decline as the generations continue passing. The Yellow Wars, the greatest time of horror in both societies, left terrible scarring that may never heal, though only time will tell.

The Myralian Navy is composed of the ships and units of the order who patrol, defend, and lay siege upon foreign threats within the gulf of Claudius and throughout the outer waters of the lands of the Dwytir, securing Myralian safety. Throughout its history, the Myralian Navy has been a prominent figure in securing the waters, and ensuring safe trade, primarily between the Republic and New Ascya. The Myralians, dating back to the Empire, have mostly been a land-based people who travel, trade, ad conquer primarily by foot, with the navy being highly overlooked. However, as of Demiphius Surato's rise to power after the second comet, he dedicated much more resources to the navy, naming it the primary protecting force from foreign influence throughout the entirety of the Dwytir.

In more ancient times during the reign of Darius, the navy as well as the trading fleets did not act as an independent force, and worked closer, almost in direct connection, with the Myralian Order of the Dragon. When astray from the shore, far out into the gulf and the greater seas, ships often went missing, or were destroyed by unknowing Ascyian forces. Today, Myralis has a much more centralized navy with its own direction and hierarchy, and acts in ordinance with New Ascya.

During the Red War, shortly before the Treaty of Aurcalia, under the ruling of a strongly united senate and Consul Demiphius Surato, the Myralian Navy expanded radically. Today, the navy is based primarily in the North, though during the Red War, Aurcalia served as the main navy base, due to the close proximity to the Caesons, and ease of passage through Anemos. After the war, the navy continued to expand, making Myralis a naval powerhouse.

For nearly a century after the Ascyian Occupation, the Gulf of Claudius had been a warzone of conflict. With a messy, uncentralized navy and uncoordinated trade fleets, the two aggressive nations fought at seas, with international trade failing at large, for both nations. Tensions eventually fell, and Navy presence became minimal, though international trade became almost obsolete, as Myralis became mostly self producing all goods. In response, the New Ascyian market crashed, and the nation fell severely ill, bringing forth the New Ascyian Trade Treaty, proposed by New Ascya, to ensure trade between Myralis and New Ascya, to support a booming market for both economies.

With a lack of Myralian Navy presence at Anemos in the years leading up to the defeat and death of Darius Flavius, the Caesons were able to sneak through, disguised as Myralian units. This lack of defense is what inevitably led to the war with Caesony, and prompted Consul Surato to fortify naval defenses.

March 1st
Throughout roughly the first century after the passing of the first comet, the Ascyians thrived in their grand nation of Ascya which covered the coastlines of the now known Myralian Peninsula. During this time, they had cast their prisoners away by boat toward the northern island beyond the Gulf of Claudius. This island was known as the "Hunting Ground of the Gods". Occasionally, elites and bloodthirsty individuals would sail to the island, armed with daggers, crossbows, and poison, armed to hunt the prisoners like prey.

March 5th
The Kingdom of Caesony, a great kingdom to the far south of the Dwytir. For centuries, the Caesons stood independent of the Myralians as they faced constant political turmoil within their devastated kingdom. It wasn't until the dawn of the second comet, in which Caesony struck against Myralis, successfully bringing the fall of Darius. Afterward, Caesony faced great resistance as it was pushed out of Myralis, until a treaty was established, bringing the two nations to peace.

Caesony

Forgotten whispers of the past echo throughout the halls of the sanctuaries of the sector of Caeseus, heard only by the most devout, the lost souls, and the dirtiest of the sinners...

He that hath an evil eye, let him be ashamed; Caeseus a cresciou.

He that hath the ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; Caeseus a cresciou.

Some say it to be a foreshadowing, others, decree it is already too late...

Myralis
Myralis, or more accurately known as the Myralian Republic (as of the transition from the Myralian Empire), is a great nation existing in the southeastern quadrant of the realms of Candarion. Myralis is located upon the appropriately named Myralian Peninsula in the northwestern edge of the Ostarian lands. The land of Myralis spans for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and it shares a border with the Dwytir and Caesony, with Ascya far to the northern Ascyian Island. With an estimated six million residents, Myralis is the greatest nation in population of the Ostarian Lands.

As a result of the location of Myralis, and the conquering nature of the Myralian people, Myralis has become home to a variety of unique cultures. Initially settled by the Dyndi and the Ascyians, Myralis was a young land of people dispersed across the rural landscape. Upon the fall of Caesony in result to the civil war led by the Myralian rebels, the Myralians migrated northward, settling in what they called New Haven. From there, they established many settlements and expanded their influence across the peninsula. By the fourth century, Myralis emerged as the dominant power across the peninsula following the successful conquering of Ascya, as well as dominating the Dyndi in the Yellow Wars. Myralis came to serve as the leading cultural and religious force throughout the lands of Ostaria.

Today, Myralis continues to act as the powerhouse of Ostaria, having absolute control over trade, wealth and power. After the fall of Darius at the dawn of the second comet, the Myralians adapted the republican nature of the heritage of their Ascyian ancestors. Demiphius Surato ascended to the throne, who called for peace with the Caesons who, in response, receded from Myralian lands.

Name
The history of the naming of Myralis is disputed across the lands, although it is hypothesized that the name originates in the Caeson word, “myltites”, translating to “rebel”. As the Myralian cause spread across the Kingdom of Caesony, the movement was dubbed as a rebellion, with all who took part being referenced as Myltites. The term began to take hold, as the people began to refer to themselves as “Mylians” under the leadership of a young Darius Flavius.

As the Myralians reigned victorious over the Caesons and began their migration, their own language began to sprout from their Caeson roots. Early scriptures of Myralitae show a gradual change in the language, with Mylian remaining consistent in all texts. However, just after the conquest of Ascya, the Ascian word for power, “ral”, was assimilated into the Myralitae language. By the time of the Yellow Wars, it was shown that the order was referenced in military documents as the “Myralians”, which eventually became the term for all residents of Myralis, who's name was changed in correspondence.

Religion
Dankasha is the primary religion of Myralis, and plays a strong role in politics as their king, Darius, is their god. Myralian people worship at mass in their local church every Monday and Wednesday evening. During the time of the Dragon’s Sleep, festivities are held known as the “Dragon’s Awakening”. This time is precious to the people, and most families travel onward to the Blood Dragon’s Cathedral in the Capital to worship their fallen king, Darius. It is also during this month that the Elder Dragon, Myral, awakens and stands upon his altar. Sometimes he preaches, listens to the children, and other times is entirely silent. His presence is deemed as divine and worshipped as the father of their fallen king ever since his first appearance in 600 FC. So long as he remains, people feel safe and joyous.

The people worship nightly at high moon by using a tool known as the Danka. The danka is a spiritual blade that the Myralians use to connect with Darius. They either put two half inch long slits into their palm or back of their hand. This worship is known as Hedam.

The Myralians believe that through Dankasha worship and their suffering, they will please their fallen king. They also believe that the more they suffer, the more they will know peace in the afterlife, whereas if they live a greedy and pleasureful life, they will suffer eternally in the afterlife.

It is believed that the elven races of Tir were once unified as one society of Dyndi. Though many years have passed and time has taken its toll on the people of the Dwytir. Now, the Dyndi take on many forms, each unique in form and culture. However, it is still believed by all the Dyndi of Tir, that in the beginning… there was only The Dwytir. The Dwytir is the mass of divine woodlands that encompass the entirety of Tir. Each tree, or Prental, of the Dwytir stood as an extension, a vessel, of the Dwytir. The Prental communicated with each other, keeping balance and harmony throughout all of Tir. Eventually, though, came terrible men of unknown origin, who sought horrendous deeds, such as to claim the soil of the Dwytir for themselves, and to chop the holy bark of the Prental. In agonizing response, the Dwytir cried out to the skies, a message of desperacy, as the land of Tir had failed. Soon, the call for help was answered in the form of a comet of tremendous size, radiating a tail of gorgeous color, as it soared across the ashy night sky. The comet sent a catalyst down to Tir, in the form of a crystalline wonder. It radiated valiantly, a sort of divine energy that compelled the settling men, bringing them forth. The catalyst had become known by the Dwytir as the Dali o’Sedd, or the Bringer of Balance. The Dali o’Sedd captured the willpower of all the men, bringing them into an unbreakable trance. It then proceeded to drain the life force of the invaders. As the men fell to their deaths, the Dali o’Sedd glew brilliantly. After many days or months, maybe years, the Dali o’Sedd continued to build tension within, until it eventually burst, sending a spectacular blast of energy throughout Tir, then fell dormant. As the Dwytir then continued to live peacefully, the comet overhead finally passed. Suddenly, after the passing of the comet, roots began to form over the eternally resting bodies of the men who once invaded. From those roots grew the Dyndi.

@ari might motivate me to actually play again if we could have better trades for goods.

@chewypudding I believe planets were identified and observed first around the 16th and 17th centuries if I recall correctly, with Galileo Galilei. If we are willing to make an exception for us to be able to identify planets in our 15th century era, considering this is not Earth but rather a completely different world, I would accept that. Even with the use of magic of sorts. I don't see it being anything that would be of any real significance / lore breaking.

@iokastos disabling mobgriefing would lead to villager breeders / auto farms being obsolete.

Ghasts can be used for auto farms, although I dont believe one has tried making one yet. Withers can farm wither roses or whatever those flowers are called.

I think specifying is still important. I support the enderman griefing clause.
