EUROPA UNIVERSALIS 1 FORUM MOD

Like the norse-inspired peoples of Gerudia, we wanted to explore what if ancient cultures surviving to the medieval times and beyond The Magisterium represents the will of the mages, the Elfrealm of Moonhaven for the elves, Silverforge for the dwarves and the merchant republic of Beepeck for the halflings.įun fact - Bulwar, alongside Gerudia, were the earliest regions implemented after Cannor. Unlike the HRE, the electors of Anbennar represent not only the nobles and clergy, but also mages and the other races within the empire. Returning our focus to the Empire of Anbennar, we have similarities and differences to the vanilla HRE. It raises a unique question that can really put you in the mindset of your country’s race: how much is an elven life worth? Will you lead your coalition of allies deep into enemy territory knowing that your army will take decades more to recover than the others? Or would you abandon the follies of men, rejecting calls to war and leaving lesser races to squabble and fight? An army of elves may be gifted in battle, but will replenish its ranks much more slowly than a human or goblin army. This means that in Cannor, human cities aren't built on the graves of elven ones, nor are there ancient elven ruins lurking around, that bit will come in the next dev diary!Īlongside these provinces and tolerance events, your dominant race will also affect how your country’s administration and military works. But I do want to note that in Cannor the elves are recent, arriving only in the year 1000 during our equivalent of the medieval era, as I wanted to set Anbennar apart from contemporary fantasy worlds like The Witcher, Dragon Age or Forgotten Realms where elves are not only old, but have been in the continent before humans were ever a thing. Look a little beyond the EoA, and you find kobolds, goblins, orcs and trolls.Īs a small tidbit on the elves, the Empire of Anbennar as a whole is vastly elvenized, with many of its provinces taking on elven names. The Empire of Anbennar hugs the Dameshead SeaĪnbennar gains its namesake from Cannor’s version of the HRE, the aptly named Empire of Anbennar (EoA), and anyone who looks at it with the culture map mode on will instantly see it is inhabited by a plethora of different races: humans, elves, halflings, dwarves, gnomes, and gnolls can all be found within its borders. Twenty years ago the orcish warlord Korgus Dookanson led his people out of the Serpentspine Mountains in a massive invasion known as the Greentide, conquering kingdom after kingdom and forcing thousands to flee before him. In our 1444 game-start, however, the Day of Ashen Skies and the elven Landing is left to the annals of history, and the continent of Cannor is facing a very different challenge. Here they became intimately involved with the politics of the human states on the continent, forever changing the course of their history. Some few elves, however, managed to escape the doom of their civilization and were magically trapped at sea for centuries before they eventually landed on the eastern continent of Cannor nearly 1000 years after the catastrophe. The Day of Ashen skies left behind a circular crater the size of a small continent, surrounded by huge cliffs represented in-game by a ring of wasteland provinces.Īs Aelantir was torn apart, the rest of the world was stuck by earthquakes, tsunamis, and magical catastrophes that left scars present to this day.
