Rodinnbrok

Abstract
The Bacchanalian Commonwealth of Roðinnbrók (also known as Rodinnbrok) is a party nation in East Eldham renowned for it's raucous events and festivals. The Kingdom of Rodinnbrok was united under Lichon the Uniter, first king of Rodinnbrok, who set up the foundations for much of what the kingdom had evolved into today. Most of Rodinnbrok's current culture and customs though, can be attributed to Eirro the Duplicitous, a peace time king who spread the teachings of Pleasurism, outright revelry, and dispomania, thus leading to The Bacchanalian Commonwealth's modern inception.

Creation Story
The land now known as the Bacchanalian Commonwealth of Roðinnbrók (Also known as Rodinnbrok) was settled by an ancient nomadic people referred to as the Roðinfyrstr. After traveling for hundreds of years the Roðinfyrstr under threat of persecution from emerging leaders and food instability decided to look for a suitable home. While exploring inside a marshland they became trapped in a vicious snowstorm and sought shelter in a ruined castle which saved them from near extinction. In order to survive, their leader Rober the Red, great patriarch of Rodinnbrok, burned his pair of red pants for warmth which kept him and his tribe warm for 7 days and 7 nights. Rober the Red, declared this land which had saved him and his tribe the town of Dreyrigard. Generations later, Rober’s descendant King Lichon united the now large population of the Roðinfyrstr under the banner of the first Kingdom of Roðinnbrók.

The Second Coalition - Ellysian War
The Second Coalition-Ellysian War was a war fought between the Second Coalition united by ViewedMarquis and the Ellysian Empire as led by Thas Ellas. Rodinnbrok headed up the southern force along with Mercury and other members of the Northern Leifmyrr Alliance. Before the start of the first battle, Rodinnbrok negotiated the surrender of the city of Valorys, and seized all territory up to that point. The Second Coalition eventually won the war and Rodinnbrok was officially ceded the land they took in the war and was later ceded land in "Zone 5".

The Silent War
A group of Ex-Ellysians called the Majestians, attempted to violently overthrow the Rodinnian government under the guise of becoming a town in Rodinnbrok. A Rodinnian counter intelligence force uncovered this plot and the numerous documents involving it including a presentation detailing the plan to "liberate" the towns Majestia was insiding Rodinnbrok with and then consolidate those towns into the Empire of Majestia. Immediately, Rodinnbrok declared war on them and assembled a fighting force of around 10-20~ people composed of many nations who were sympathetic to our cause, namely Unadequated who assembled the Third Coalition to fight the insurgents. During the first battle, no enemies were able to show up and the town of Storfesting was taken without resistance. After this, Otto Olea negotiated the surrender of Storfesting to Rodinnian forces under a treaty in which the Majestian insurgents were allowed time to relocate. It is worth noting that Otto Olea, now leads the Empire of Aristios, as their emperor.

The Soumenian War
During a period in which Sandy took a leave of absence from Rodinnbrok to make trade connections in the North East, a group of rebels called the Soumenians tried to secede from Rodinnbrok. The interim leader, Żul Menel, was under strict orders to not have a war during Sandy's absence which was also compounded by the fact that Żul was ruling the nation remotely from his cell in the Cheese Guild revenue collections services under a charge of money laundering. Because of this Żul was forced to allow the Soumenian's secession under conditions of a treaty. Once Sandy returned, he scrambled to remedy this and discovered messages that Soumenia was attempting to violate the treaty, and seize the rest of Rodinnian land in the north. After declaring war on the Soumenians, the nation immediately collapsed and the land was reincorporated into Rodinnbrok without a single battle. The leaders of the rebellion, the former Jarls Banetysto and Pango, were permanently exiled from the nation as enemies of the state.

The Nido Games
In september 2021 the city of Nidaros (Kingdom of Nidaros) held an international sports event named 'The Nido Games'. On the first day of the event national representative and leader Sandy participated in the opening ceremony sporting the Rodinnbrok flag, sandy would continue to show up on the following days supporting the Rodinnian athletes. Having won no medals during the first two days no-one suspected the Rodinnian athletes come back on the third day - and yet they stole the show. Idatheone made her way to the finals with ease and won first place in build battle (More info on this page), receiving much support from the crowd. The second and final event of the day was Range Archery, in which Rodinnbrok was represented by two athletes Slam4_ and Fishe (SkiMaskTheGod). Sadly, Slam4_ received 0 points in the first round and did not go on to the finals. Fishe however, scored 99 points and went on to the finals having received the most points amongst the contestants. The four finalists competed in an intense five minute round trying to hit as many targets of their assigned color. Tension grew as Fishe announced he had shot all of his a arrows after the first two minutes, though he remained confident that he had hit all of his targets. The arrows were counted and Fishe's claims were proven to be true as he had hit 19/19 of his targets and thereby won first place in Range Archery.

This comeback secured Rodinnbrok an overall second place at the Nido games. The winnings were greatly appreciated and celebrated amongst the rodinnians.

Culture

 * Red pants
 * In honor of our founder, Rober the Red, citizens of Rodinnbrok tend to where Red Pants for day to day and culturally important events. Rober the Red, is said to have burned his pair of red pants to keep the Roðinfyrstr warm during an intense snow storm that threatened the lives of the nomadic tribe that came to be Rodinnbrok. Tarik Sandweavers instead wear a red cloth belt to better fit their climate and environment.
 * Jorm
 * The world eating worm of Rodinnbrok is located near Dreyrigard and is said to have travelled for millions of years in his quest to eat the world. He is worshipped by The Three Pleasures Church for his strength and bounty that he has provided Rodinnbrok. Jorm houses the town of Jormund and an ethnic minority that stemmed from the people of the worm.
 * Cuisine
 * Though Roðinnbrók provides a variety of edible goods from drinks to vegetables, a speciality only found in the nation is roðinnbread. This bread is a special type of rye bread based on a recipe that was passed down through generations and is still being made years later. The rye bread was officially voted to be roðinnbread on July 13th 2021, after idatheone ran a campaign (image) promoting rye bread to be the national bread of Roðinnbrók.
 * Alcohol is an essential.

Religion
Whilst the official state sponsored religion is the Church of The Three Pleasures, Roðinnbrók practices freedom of religion and there are a variety of minority religions within the kingdom.

Founding
In a time of great peace after the founding of Roðinnbrók brought on by Kavon the Uniter, his son, King Eirró the duplicitous, founded The Church of The Three Pleasures as a service for the now wealthy citizens of the kingdom. Pleasurism is a religion which was created within the bowels of Jorm, The World Eating Worm. In ancient times, Jorm, in its tireless journey to consume the world (albeit very slowly) accidentally consumed a small town. Because Jorm moves so slowly the town and all its buildings were spared. Surprisingly, the ancient town survived, and grew to flourish in the mouth of Jorm - this is historically attributed to the unique chemical structure of its saliva, which stimulates growth of plants and is alleged to greatly increase libido. The townspeople decided to remain in the town, despite the dangerous environment. Jorm eventually submerged into the earth and the culture of the town flourished undisturbed for centuries. During the reign of Eirro, Jorm re-emerged from the depths with the now-ancient town, renamed to Jormund by its inhabitants. The culture of the men who lived in Jorm was intensely hedonistic, placing great value in earthly pleasures. When Eirro discovered the people of Jormund, they showed great hospitality. Looking for a way to cement his legacy (and an excuse to set up brothels and bars around Rodinnbrok), Eirro decided to spread Jormund’s religion, Pleasurism, worshipping the pleasures and the spiritual worship of Jorm, around his nation.

Clerical Positions

 * Archpriest of Pleasure: The respected head priest that serves at the Cathedral of Pleasure. Generally regarded as the authority on Pleasurism.
 * Priest: Any of the individual priests who preach Pleasurism in their respective houses of pleasure within or outside of Rodinnbrok.
 * Apostles of Pleasure: They work in the church administrating the church's practices. Generally considered the lifeblood of Pleasurism they defer to the local priest.

Deities
Technically there is no deity per se but the Pleasurists worship Jorm, the world eating worm, out of respect for the life and wealth he has brought them. Jorm's origins are unknown so he may or may not be a deity, but he is said to by the party god, Fankt Chwonki, to be an old friend. The Pleasurists also believe that the key to a holy life is to be able to indulge in the holiest of earthly experiences. Members of Pleasurism are not expected to attend the churches called “Houses of Pleasure '', but members of the religion tend to frequent the houses multiple times a week.
