Rodinnbrok

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, went on to lead 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 Crimson War

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 Ski_MaskTheGod. Sadly, Slam4_ received 0 points in the first round and did not go on to the finals. Ski 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 Ski 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 Ski'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.

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.

Jorm has also inspired and donated to many products made in honor of the world eating worm from drinks and potions to weapons. Jormund fang-sabers are the legendary blades carved from the gnashing teeth of Jorm. These swords were created by the people of Jormund for millenia before the knowledge spread to the blacksmiths of Rodinnbrok. The sabers are said to be infused with Jorm's spit, granting the user divine wisdom in battle.



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 promoting rye bread to be the national bread of Roðinnbrók.

Alcohol is an essential.

Wienaukah
Wienaukah is the winter festival of Rodinnbrok. It takes place in the first two weeks of December meant to represent the two legs of the pant burned by Rober the Red when he first settled Rodinnbrok, beginning on Dec 1st and culminating with a party and gift giving celebration. The days leading up to the final party is filled with traditions such as lighting the candles of The Dreyrigard Panorah, carroling with wine and rodinnbread delivery, burning of red pants and more.

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.

The Three Pleasures Church/ Pleasurism
Pleasurism is a religion which was created within the bowels of Jorm, The World Eating Worm. In ancient times, Jorm accidentally consumed a small town, but because Jorm moves so slowly the town and all its buildings were spared. Jorm eventually submerged into the earth and the culture of the town flourished undisturbed for centuries. Eirro the duplicitous, founded The Church of The Three Pleasures as a service for the now wealthy citizens of the kingdom.
