Other Observations on the Trikk Culture and Government

-

((OOC: That was actually pretty good up there for my subconcious, since I was virtually asleep when I wrote it))

-

There are no police forces in the Dominion, the entire legal system is based on private citizens bringing lawsuits against each other if they are wronged.

The annual woodworking festival is pivitol to the Trikk culture and the winner is awarded a minor nobility and granted forces to win himself as much land as possible from the neighboring tribes and to take as many slaves as he can from their ranks. The land remains under the command of the Monarch.

The Monarch is considered the ultimate owner of all property within the Dominion, though each citizen has been granted a portion to care for on the behalf of the Monarch and the High Gods.

The religion is a dual one, with two sets of dieties, one for the Nobles including 9 Dieties: Hrahh; the ungendered Monarch of the Gods, Noprt; the Godess of the Sea, Yoke; the God of the storm, Yhal; the Godess of the Earth, Thum; the God of the Sky, Hagd; the Godess of War, Dgah; the God of War, Than; the Godess of the Forests, and Hroy; the God of Swiftness and the Messenger of Hrahh.

There are countless minor 'Low Gods' which are ranked below the Monarch but slightly above the nobles.

"This is the place," Abraham said.

From atop this hill, he could see a fertile valley below. A wide river, stretching as far as the eye could see to the north and south, provided ample water for a large community. It was the Promised Land, and all that was required was for him to reach out and take it.

He sent runners out to the Heads of the Twelve Tribes. They must meet with him at once, so as not to delay the settlement. Winter was approaching, and much work was to be done.

For five years, the Israelis had trekked across deserts, up mountains, through the lands of vicious men, and many had perished. They were only sustained by their determination that the Promised Land was ahead, waiting for them.

And so they had arrived. According to Divine Instruction, Abraham allowed each of the Twelve Tribes to select a part of the Valley as their own, with ample grazing and planting land. And the last part, he took for his own. To construct a city upon, that would be the light of the world. Jerusalem!

As he surveyed the valley one last time before the sunset, he reflected on the work of the coming days and weeks. It would be difficult. He would not live to see the fruition, most likely. But the outcome was not in question.

The seed of Abraham would rule over all other nations.

Atlantica Magna
A short introduction of the Atlantians

the preffered starting colore of my Empire- note, that getting the capital on that particuler island requires some editing of the island itself, and perhaps shoudl just be cut and pasted into place

The cultur eof Atlantis is an anceitn one indeed- and a melting pot of culture
Imagine, and culture whos architecture is a mix of the pyramids of mesoptomais, and the glaimign collums of Greece. or pristine marble and gold of Rome, and the sheer size and grandue fo the egyptians..

The people are europeans, of celt-Iberian stock, with fair skin, but dark hair and dark eyes., but the language is os a mixed nature, combineing elemets of western africa, and westenr europe in its make- the religion centers, as one woudl figure, around the mighty God of the sea, Oceanus, though other gods are known, and widelly worshipped amoung the Atlantian people

Th epeople themselves are courageous by nature, and have a natural affinity for exploration, and (as to be expected for nay nation of mine ) a deep runnign vein fo patriotism to thier culture and homeland, and will defend it tenaciouslly

Siam
A Breif History



In the beggining of the nation of Siam, there was no Siam. Throughout the vast jungles and plains the population consisted of farmers & small villiages of which held allegiance to any leader or higher power. The people had always spoken of unification but no one ever went through with it.


This was all about to change. It changed with one mans vision. The man (who went by the odd name of Death), wanted a unified Siam where vast wealth and a powerful military could be gained. He gained much support from his idea as it was sure to lead to better lives for the people and a great empire for them to live and prosper in.


As the years passed it became a more popular idea and then finally unanimous. With Siam unified the food supply increased with the farmers joined together to sell their food on markets (this increase in food also increased the population greatly). The economy also flourised thanks to a strong but fair tax system which helped build many more advanced structures & roads throughout Siam. Also under Deaths rule many temples and schools were built to expand his peoples knowledge & culture. In return for this his people built many statues honoring him. It was indeed a great time for Siam and its people but as they knew there was still much to be done to make Siam a great empire.

Qin
Beginning of Empire

Qin, the nations of warriors, for centuries ago, nomads had settled around the Huang He, and the farmers were in constant need for tools to make their farms more effectively, and the Miners of the southwest with their metal stores were in constant need of food. And between this primitive trade of goods, the City of Xian came into existence, and thus the nation of Qin. They came to dominate these two areas, and controlled the economy of the nation with an iron fist of state control. For these people, had once been nomads from the North, but had been seduced by the Ways of the civilized peoples of the Huang He. They were militaristic People, with status and prestige based on martial skill. None of those weak administrators of the neighboring lands, the Qin Armies were well trained and equipped. They expanded in all directions from Xian, northeast to the Huang He, south to the Yangtze and the mines, west to vast hills with metals, east to vast plains, north to forested areas fit for fine wood.

Taxes were implemented on the people of Qin, but not all equal, the rich easily had lower rate taxes, but paid just as much as the higher taxes of the peasants and farmers. Taxes were based on your property, and how much money the properties could produce. A standard Coinage system was implemented throughout the country so those whiny merchants wouldn’t be able to complain. And to make all the people of the conquered areas understand the Qin laws, the Might Qin King Ordered that all the dialects must be able to all read and understand the written language of the Qin Kings. But this was only the beginning….

Conhead isnt Chesapeake close to Qubec? You better not be thinking of taking any of the land of Holy Mother Qubec.

 

[alex994]

OOC: the chesapeake is in Maryland. that's kinda far away from quebec.

 

[SKILORD]

example: America when Europeans came

Bad example, I see it to be far more likely that the Americans will be colonizing Europe this go around.

 

[Insane_Panda]

OOC: Yep, in 1492, expect a Mayan sailor to land in Spain

 

[SKILORD]

OOC: The Trikk will be there far sooner, burning and looting conquering and spreading diseases.

PROJECTS:

Hiawatha gathered the chiefs of the five great tribes, the Mohawks, the People of the Flint. The Oneida People of the Standing Stone. The Onendaga, the Keepers of the Fire. The Cayuga, the People of the Swamp. The Seneca, the People of the Great Hill. They declared themselves a longhouse of tribes. Hodinoshone, the people of the longhouse.

Hiawatha held up a Wampum Belt, wampum being the medium of trade. It had 4 open squares all connected with a line with a middle flame. it wrapped around with no beginning or end. it represented the unity of the new Confederation. The delagates had agreed to form a confederation between the five tribes. Each tribe recieved 10 elected delagates. A Grand Chief was chosen to preside over each meeting.

The Algonquins surrounding the Hodinoshone could now be delt with. Their raids on Hodinoshone lands woukld finally come to an end. Hodinoshone agression towards each other would come to an end. Most importantly, Hodinoshone would grow strong and would become a power.


OOC: looks like America will finally be as crowded as Europe. Do not place me around the great lakes, this is where the Iroquois really are. And Sheep, I don't care if you're just 10 miles away, I'm joining as the 5 Nations
