Empire of Soynaltiar

Government: Hereditary Absolute Feudal Monarchy
Head of State: Emperor
Head of Government: Emperor
Legislature: None
Demonym: Soynaltian

Soynaltiar is an island nation in central Maritymir, taking up the whole of the island continent of the same name, the many islands surrounding it, and a portion of the eastern islands known as the Wildlands.

Eastward, it shares land and maritime borders on three islands: Elapardris, the southern island; Darkatisyol, the small ringed island; and Zantyonas, the larger northern island. On Elapardris and Darkatisyol, Soynaltiar solely borders the colonial province of Xotil, Nactcudt; but on Zantyonas, Soynaltiar borders Nactcudt to the east and the Lusitanian colonial province of Ilhas Selvagens to the north.

One of the oldest continuous nations on Qirsyllviar, and currently ruled by the Kyiida Dynasty, Soynaltiar, like Xotil, is also the site of where a strange craft made of stone and metal crashed into the earth. It is presumed to be the same sort that crashed in Nekcroz, but this one crashed at least a thousand years earlier. The Soynaltians of the time since salvaged the strange technology and used it to make their homeland prosper, and became the first nation, until Xotil, to master flight without magic or beast-riding.

Unlike Xotil, Soynaltiar had no interest in expanding beyond their island's borders, and so stopped using the salvaged technology for conquest once Soynaltiar achieved dominance over the Soynaltian homeland and surrounding islands; regardless, Soynaltiar has still been known to resort to war and invasion to achieve demands or repel threats.

The island continent Soynaltiar occupies used to be much larger, with additional land to the southwest, and east; the Wildlands were also once part of the whole. But, an accident during a civil war known to history as Kanjiniro-Tografik War (a civil war between two dynasties competing for the throne following the extinction of the Hoklorac Dynasty), caused by ill-tampering with the alien technology, resulted in a cataclysmic disaster known to Soynaltian history as the Great Ketellaao. The Great Ketellaao is described in ancient texts as a massive earthquake that shook the land for fourteen full days, and created many tsunamis, some nearly two miles high. The devastation resulted in over half of Soynaltiar's original lands, mostly lands to the southwest and the east, breaking off and moving further out, becoming large subcontinental islands outlying the mainland, the Wildlands being one prominent example. Some of the former whole didn't survive the disaster and sank beneath the waves, particularly lands which used to be northwestern continent and some lands that were once between the current islands. Some smaller islands that existed before the disaster also sank. The few small islands that didn't sink beneath the waves simply moved further out. The Great Ketellaao reportedly affected other lands around Maritymir, but this is unconfirmed.

After the Great Ketellaao, Soynaltiar on the mainland collapsed into at least seven different independent states and didn't reunite into a single state for at least three centuries. But, even with reunification, the Soynaltiar all but abandoned administrating most of the eastern lands while it rebuilt the mainland, paving way for several other new nations to form in absence of the Soynaltian government; at least until the invasion and colonization of the Wildlands by Xotil and Lusitania.

Neutral Territory

Insulae Calvariae

Insulae Calvariae is a pair of skull-shaped islands in northern Maritymir, halfway between the Kappa Islands and Uʻifolaʻoa. It is, by a mutual unwritten agreement between nations, neutral ground.

In exploitation of this, pirates from all over Qirsyllviar have made it a haven for hiding out and the island has long been feared to house the souls of the dead that never passed from the world. Other myths say that these islands house a passage to the underworld. But this has yet to be proven either fact or fiction, as no one, not even the pirates that use the island, has ever ventured into the lower bowels of the islands for thousands of years.

Notes & Trivia

• The demonym for people from Maritymir is "Maritymiri".
• What's shown on the map is known as "Maritymir proper"; the Maritymiri Ocean technically ends at the eastern shores of Ingdjiva, the western shores of Nekcroz, and at the grand line to the north.
  • The waters that extend into the southward across the South Pole are called the Eluoec Sea, which is considered separate from the main ocean.
• The waters within the Maluhia Archipelago, which is divided between Uʻifolaʻoa and the Surtierran and Dongbalian colonies, Trópico and the Cuicao Islands respectively, is believed to be the homeland of Iekika Ka'aukai, the first Abjaksan of the great ocean.
• The reason Majapahit is mostly cut off on the map is because most of the archipelago is situated closer to Ingdjiva.
• Although not shown on the map, thousands of small islands and mini-archipelagos dot the surface. However, some periodically vanish beneath the waves and then reappear some time later due to the water levels constantly rising and falling.
