___________________________________Premise:___________________________________
Imagine: Eulyros. More than just the newly settled land of three powerful political entities and countless natives. Eulyros is the idea- that rules and systems should NOT limit the imagination if the will of the player is strong enough. True- Eulyros is a speck of land, north of Arminia (the home to Kusalom, the Church, and Landoria) but it is also the playground of the Minecraft player who yearns for a land to make it what they will! Eulyros is freedom in an RP server. So then, will you become a fierce native fighting for his homeland, a brave Kusalomian or Landorian settler looking to conquer the vast riches of Eulyros, a righteous paladin of the Church of The Holy Cube, or something else entirely!? YOU DECIDE.

The Settlers of Eulyros:

______________________The Kingdom of Landoria:______________________


This kingdom represented the heartland of the Old Country. It stood for the whole of Arminian agriculture and other nature-based industries. It had a thriving population and a militia based army that could be called to action by King Elessar Shadow-Hunter in times of need- in addition to the professional army of its vassal, The Duchy of Kusalom. After years of unprecedented growth (usually by peacefully absorbing neighboring states into the whole, while largely leaving them intact) and prosperity, it began to stagnate. A desire to, “keep things as they are” lead to fewer and fewer expansions and new laws. Eventually several of the vassal states split off from the Landorian government and declared their independence following the death of King Elessar. Though this had been building for some time, it happened so suddenly that the new King Everin was unable to rally his civilian army to retake the states before they became established by themselves- or worse. . . be absorbed by the now independent Kusalom.

Weakened by the loss of their vassal states and struggling to hold the core heartland together, the young King Everin called upon his officials to invest heavily in the military, a faucet of Landorian life that had always been an-aside, or an afterthought within the royal court. Pouring a vast fortune into a more professional army with the highest quality weapons, armor, and training facilities, the King’s gambit succeeded in creating a force capable of holding its own- and defeating the longstanding military traditions of neighboring Kusalom. Therefore, the former vassal-states of Landoria, wishing to avoid a military takeover by Kusalom in the future, (as many of the former vassal states held no favorable opinion of the Kusalomic administration’s expansionist attitude); signed renewed vassal-treaties and trade agreements with their former, and now current, parent and quickly flourished under a renewed Landorian banner, their taxes going to the impressive Landorian war-machine.

Having annexed nearly all of the states that declared independence during the latter years of the reign of the great King, Elessar Shadow-Hunter; his successor cast off the Kingship and enthroned himself as Emperor Everin Shadow-Hunter in the year 545. Now, her strength recovered, and indeed- greater than ever, Landoria seeks to conquer the rich lands of neighboring Eulyros.

To that end, Everin commanded the fielding of an expedition in 548 to be placed under the command of the celebrated veteran Landorian commander, Madfast Hillborn. As the expedition set out to the North they encountered little resistance and construction began on the Capital of New Aidolon, in memory of a land from Landoria’s past, long abandoned. From this new city- the influence of Landoria could not be denied, soon the entirety of Eulyros would be under the command of a grand Empire.

Then again. . .


The Duchy of Kusalom, once a stalwart ally of the Landorian Kingdom, fell away from its subservient attitude following the death of beloved Lord-Duke Nicholas Fandon in the year 540, and in 542 it too seceded from the Kingdom and set out to conquer the lands of its fellow vassals. The Wars of Kusalomic Annexation lasted from 542-545, and when they were completed both Landoria and Kusalom emerged as the two dominant powers of Arminia, having split the land between them. Emboldened by his success and envious of his Landorian counterpart, young Lord-Duke, Dorian Agalor Fandon, proclaimed himself Emperor of Kusalom and began to greedily monitor the more temperate lands that belonged to the Landorians for any sign of weakness.

Then it isn’t any surprise that as the Landoria Expedition prepared for its sojourn into Eulyros, a counter-part was being created in Kusalom. To be led by the Emperor himself- a force of the fearsome Kusalomic Knights, builders, laborers, architects, and some of the greatest scientific minds marched northward, and with great bravado they built an Imperial highway from Kusalom Keep as they went to send a message to Landoria: “Eulyros belongs to Kusalom.” Settling deeper into the country then the Landorians- and locating the vast snowy peaks way up in the hinterlands, the capital of Vhor’Daen was founded.


Church of the Holy Cube:

The Church of the Holy Cube is an ancient organization that predates most of the known kingdoms of today. It has roots in some of the earliest texts of recorded history, and its influence is far-reaching. The worship of the Church focuses around a holy block, the first block, through which the rest of the world is formed by the Gods. Though both Landoria and Kusalom rule themselves, they both host the Church of the Holy Cube as their state religion and have numerous temples, cathedrals, and churches throughout their settlements.

Many years ago, an enigmatic man named Bael Shadesorrow rose to the office of High Priest, and The Church changed dramatically under it. It has taken a much more active (and even aggressive) stance in current events, moving from subtle suggestions to subtle mandates. Over time the Church has grown into a sort of nation in its own right, even going so far as to move its headquarters from Marseni (the capital of Landoria) to a new holy city. As its influence continued to grow, the reigning High Priest became as much a player in politics as the leaders of both nations. The Church's power continued to grow unabated even through the schism between Kusalom and Landoria and their eventual peace, due mainly to the fact that Bael continued to lead the church with a strict lead for many more years than it is natural. Rumors abound that the High Priest was either not human or extending his life through unnatural means, though little if anything is known about his personal life or details. All that Bael has said to adress these rumors is that the faith and furore of the Church and the Holy Cube sustains him.

Because of its close ties with both empires, the Church was inevitably brought along with them both as they expanded to the new world. Church Priests accompany the leaders of both factions wherever they go, subtly trying to manipulate the course of events in favor of The Holy Cube. The church has no official settlements in the new land besides its bases within Kusalomic and Landorian towns, though rumors abound of a holy city called Ipsus being constructed out in the wilds.
