Eastrope

Eastrope is the world on the east side of the Sea. Legends state in the beginning there were 2 grand cities in Eastrope, Demokratischen in the north and Monarkischen in the south, but they were embroiled in terrible warfare with each other. Weapons of unimaginable power were used, destroying the 2 cities in the process. It is believed by some that Eastropers are descended from these 2 cities's survivors, while others think their lineages ended when the cities were decimated. The supposed ruins of these 2 cities can still be seen today. The first country in recorded history was the Aachenne State, based in Aachenne in Alsace-Lorraine, which ruins can still be seen today. It covered all of Eastrope greenlands, not including the Angel-Franch Gap and the beyond lands of Germania. Its core was Francia and Germania, but its dominance reached Angelcynn, and cultural influence to Dubhlinn. It withdrew from what is known today as Angelcynn a long time ago, giving time for the Angels to slowly build Londinium from almost scratch. When it collapsed, it was replaced by Francia and Germania. The Angels also traded with the settlement on the other side of the gulf. The 5 tribes in the Swamp Tip did not identify as anything related to major Eastrope powers. Cathrabe explorers were recorded to have landed at the Swamp Tip but no contact between Cathrabe and Eastrope peoples has been recorded. Dubhlinn is unknown to the wider Eastrope world. Natinhuaim was known as Na Tithe Uaimh. Wealas developed 4 settlements. No armistice has been signed between the 3 main countries yet, meaning they are still technically at war. Francia built the first railway in Eastrope, for exclusive military use. The terminals near the frontline are underground and directly feed into the cities. Germania followed but built an entire railway network connecting all its cities for commuter use. It is interesting since Francia constructed huge metro areas and linked cities/developed regions but it is Germania that has commuter rail. The lines to Freiburg are not accessible to civilians. To prepare against Francia expansionist pressure, Bretagne has built Nouveau Bretagne on Isle Marais, should they ever have to give up their continental position.

The Roxyan Expansion is taking place. The Prophet and his followers have taken control of Germania, Francia, Angelcynn, Wealas and mainland Bretagne. They are invading into Dubhlinn and the Swamp Tip tribes. A coup is being planned to turn the Roxyan homeland into the Prophet and his followers' control. Currently it is still feudal and controlled by lords who answer to the central traditional leader.
