Atlynthas confederation

The Atlynthas confederation, is a union between multiple city’s or “Clans” that all hail, from the same ancient civilisation.

History
(Warning, this info is exclusively sources from members of the Atlynthas culture, so it could possibly be biased)

Back in the day before the first world collapsed, and the gods had not yet terroised the land. There lived a civilisation deep beneath the crust of the planet. Rumored to hail from a place, even Below the bedrock, but yet still over the scorching steppes of the nether

. Here they were succesfull, with superweapons of mass destruction. And a Rich mining industry, preying on metals and minerals that would, not be conceivible in the overworld. They were known as Atlynthas.

Though theyre power was great, they allways wanted to be greater. And at some point it cought up to them. As they dug deeper, they began uncovering things. Like giant glowy scales. And, great teeth, that could peirce even the hardest minerals. And at some point they found the course

Rumor has it that, Atlynthas, at the hight of its power, uncovered a hybernating Leviathan. Though accounts differ. It is agreed upon, that they were largely destroyed. With the survivors seeking to the surface. Were they established, what is today known as the Atlynthas confederation

Clan system
The Atlynthas has a very interesting ruling style. As it is technically not one government. But an oligarchy comprised of different village leaders from all over Rathnir. Theese villages, also known as “clans” can be relativly self governing. With only major decisions like war needing to be qualified by the larger oligarchy. Theese clans are also allowed to be part of different nations, meanwhile still being part of the confederation

Clan list

angel fish clan/scova nova

Turtle clan Squid clan contract
At some point after the squid clan had established its constitution, it was being shown to the turtle clan. When they suggested, that if the Squid clan, were to hypothetically be attacked, they would not only provide melee support. But also cavilry support, with arrow launchers, and firerwork cannons. In Exchange for a 10000 per battle. This was accepted

Peenguin
At some point. A member of the turtle clan Soul_taper was strolling around in the nether. When he discovered a chicken named: “peenguin”, when he approached it, it attacked him. And he had to appeace it with seeds. He then reportet this to his fellow clan mate Weedseed_guy, who helped him transport it to the turtle clans village.

What was interesting was that, ancient scrolls from they’re old civillization told about a god named: Fiery_penguin who was worshipped by the ancient Atlynhians. This seemed very interesting to them. But to be sure, Soul_taper tracked Down another incarnation of the god living in alfheim who confirmed that the chicken was indeed also an avatar of the god. Peenguin is currently undergoing transfer to the Crab clan

glanraess conflict escalation
At some point, the squid clan decided to become part of Glanra and build they're city there. They're leader Rodney, became a part of the Glanra senate, and the squid people got permission to live there. But then something unknowingly happened. A person named Cooked_bread, was writing messages to the heads of the squid clan, about taking power in Glanra. And theese documents were leaked. The people of Glanra were outraged. And the squid clan were kicked out of the goverment. This made the squid clan furious. After notifiying the turtle clan. They set up a peace meeting. But alas, there could not be reached a peacefull conclusion, because the squid clan wanted to back in the goverment right away. But after more debate. The squid clan tried to declare a Holy war through a crucade with a private army. Even tho this was against the Atlynthas rules, as you can not declare war without consulting other clans, after being informed of this + being vastly outnumbered. The squid clan cooled down, and agreed to making more formal diplomacy from here on out. Here the Hallenberg summit, was declared. And a contract was pruposed to declare peace between all involved

Turtle clan gifts to Luscovy
While the king of Luscovy Ceannard Luscovili’s mental Health was rapidly deteriorating due to dementia. The turtle clan was therefore feeling bad for the king. So they sent him a portrait of himself. To remember his acheivements by. Though after being informed that the painting was somewhat inacurate, they created a new one. Of which the king was more fond of

Genocide
unfortunatly this “Golden age” wouldnt last too long. As the squid clan in particularly, was begining to gain a lot of attention. And that wasnt nescesarily a possitive thing. You see, the squids worshipped a creature known as “the giant squid” and worship of this creature included many cultural phenomenon, some considered unatural, or evil even. as these cultural rituals included an advanced cast system, that would slowly turn you into a squid the heigher you ascented. These rumors about evil quickly escalated into a campaign og extermination. Many squids died, and the squid clans government documents leaked. And the fact that there were multiple clans was leaked. And many died. Only few survived. Most searched refuge in the mostly Atlynthantasian afios region of Kraken-silbereich. Were the people are trying to redevelop, as a primarily squidite people

Religion
The religions of the confederation varies from clan to clan. But here are some basics

The Squid clan beleive that a giant Squid god crafted rathnir. And that they are his creations descendants. This religion is known as squidism

Meanwhile the Turtle clan maintains religious freedom. Besides from that. They also have a god trapped in a cage, for now

And the crab clans religion is yet to be unknown
