The [[Garis Triumvirate]] is made up of 4,600,000 [[Garis]] souls with very few non-Garis calling the country their home.  While [[Half-Garis]] exist, they tend to find life in [[Garis]] tedious and will often travel west where more mixed race people tend to live.  Meanwhile in the [[Garis Triumvirate]], the population is divided into three variants:

Within the country, the landscape is made up nearly entirely of deciduous forest, carved by many rivers and dotted with the occasional marsh areas.  The capitol of [[Trappist]] sits on the [[Trappist River]] very near the coast.  The deep river makes it a natural inland port, though trade with the [[Garis Triumvirate]] is somewhere between limited and non-existant.

The [[Rezenke Province]] borders two countries and the ocean, but has neither a port nor trade routes the the neighbouring [[Batis]] or its southern neighbor [[Aydahar]]. With strained relations between humans and the dragonborn, it is understandable that the latter routes do not exist, however the Batis traders seem to pass Rezenke by on matters of trade, preferring to trade directly in the capitol.
 
−
 
 
−
The [[Rezenke Province]] is home to only two major settlements, which are as follows:

The [[Sayagasi Province]] is perhaps the safest in the country having no foreign borders. Raiding ships would also have to pass other [[Ortalyk]] provinces to approach the Sayagasi coast, which would be a rare and difficult prospect.  Almost all coastal travel on the Sayagasi coast is devoted to trade.
 
−
 
 
−
The [[Sayagasi Province]] is host to seven major settlements.  These are as follows:

The [[Sop Province]]'s lone city of [[Balsagasi]] receives few visitors.  The province of Sop Borders [[Ontustik]] to the south, however the Calphate is rarely interested in affairs outside its borders. The [[Sop Province]]  is home to only one major settlement, which serves as it's capitol:

=== Notable Ortalyk Landmarks ===
 
−
* [[Koboldy Rock]] - Situated 30 miles west of [[Balagash]] this small keep is the furthest west [[Oratalyk]] edifice.  
 
−
* [[Towers of Eriquat]] - Far west in the [[Kiywar Territory]], these towers are the homes and fortresses of the legendary [[Council of Nine]].
 
  
 
== Political Environment ==
 
== Political Environment ==
−
[[Ortalyk]]'s current leader, Tsar [[Batil Zhurek]] was granted his title by his family, the legendary [[Zhurek dynasty]].  While it is traditional for the role of Tsar to pass from father to son, it is the Zhurek family who are the final arbiters.  They have on rare occasions passed over sons for succession in favour of daughters and deposed reigning Tsars in favour of other family members.  The '''tradition''' is family rule over all other tradition.
+
The [[Garis Triumvirate]] has very closed political system and keeps itself as separate from the rest of [[Otan]] as possible.  Their tripartite system of maintaining a balance between warmakers, peacekeepers and administrators has little room for outside interference.  Their political goals are to set the national dial to one of two settings, war or peace.  
  
−
It is well known that the [[Zhurek dynasty]] has existed since 1 [[In Memoriam|IM]], but what is not known is how far back it actually existed.  Some speculate a legacy as long as 1,000 years.  [[Ortalyk]]'s best spellcasters and clerics have been unable to divine information from before the Great Erasure in which the memories of all creatures and men of [[Otan]] were lost.
+
===International Politics===
 +
Very little goes on between the [[Garis Triumvirate]] and other nations.  They do not have embassies in any other nation save the [[League of Dweorgen Miners]].  This embassy is set up solely in the interest of trade, specifically geared toward the acquisition of [[Dweorg]]en metals.  With an ever keen eye on pursuing war, the need for metals by the [[Garis Triumvirate]] is an ever-present priority in Garis politics.
  
−
===International Politics===
+
The [[Garis Triumvirate]] has been largely overlooked in world politics as the country remained neutral in the [[Grendel War]].  The [[Garis Triumvirate]] triumvirate did sign onto the international treaty called the [[Concord of Kala Astanals]].  This treaty, among other things, calls for a cessation of warfare between nations, fair treatment of nationals from other countries within one's borders, and fair exchanges and fair treatment of prisoners.
−
With [[human]] and non-human states on all sides, [[Ortalyk]] often operates in broad strokes when it comes to managing their relationships with neighbor states.  [[Ortalyk]] has been in nearly a constant state of war with the [[Ungir]]si, [[Grendel]] and [[Kuulik]]i nations to the north.  It has been in repeated conflicts with both their human and dragonborn neighbors to the south, the former for reasons that stem from religion and the latter for providing political, financial and material support to their kobold ancestors.
 
  
 
===National Politics===

[[File:TimurlanRally.jpg|thumb|600px|"For too long..." [[Zhannur Timurlan]] works up a crowd.]]
 +
Though the country signed on to the [[Concord of Kala Astanals]], providing new levels of harmony between nations, they remain poised for war at all times.  The [[Garis]] people are continuously resentful of the spread of humans throughout [[Otan]] often to the exclusion of other races. The [[Ustemdik]] people are particularly eager for the onset of war and prepare for it constantly. 
  
−
The [[Garis Triumvirate]] has been largely overlooked in world politics as the country remained neutral in the [[Grendel War]]. 
+
Their current leader [[Zhannur Timurlan]] has been making unprecedented levels of appeals to the leaders and the people of both other regions to vote in favour of war.  Timurlan is certain that the forces collected in his own region are sufficient to dominate the entire continent of [[Otan]].  Even skeptics of his enthusiasm for war concede the possibility that he may get his wish; a mandate for war.

Ortalyk is made up of 9 provinces, each of which is administered by a [[Boyar]], including the capitol province of [[Astanals Province|Astanals]].  The [[Boyar]]s in turn nominate [[Ortalyk Governor|Governors]] to manage each settlement in their domain.  While keeping life running smoothly in their assigned province is their chief concern, each Boyar is ultimately responsible to provide troops to the Tsar including infantry, crossbowmen and cavalry organized as divisions of the Tsar's Army.
 
  
 
===Provincial Politics===
 
===Provincial Politics===
−
In every province there are one or more settlements of a thousand or more [[Ortalykshilar]].  Each of the 28 settlements is administered by a [[Ortalyk Governor|Governor]], who is appointed either by their representative [[Boyar]] or in some cases, by the Tsar himself.
+
Regional politics are controlled by a highly administrative system with a well functioning succession plan for the three regional leaders.  This administrative system eliminates elections, or any other form of political juggling for the top spot.  Leading candidates are weight by a standard set of criteria.  Those ruled to be 'gaming' the system are quickly eliminated from the succession plan and thus, order is kept.
  
 
===Civic Politics===
 
===Civic Politics===
−
The [[Ortalyk Governor|Governors]] are tasked with maintaining the cities, providing security for the inhabitants and assisting in recruiting for their reigning [[Boyar]].  During times of peace, it is not unusual for a city governorship to be a lifetime appointment unless corruption, egregious mismanagement, or other malfeasance is found in their administration. Minor frailties in a governor's rule will generally be met with 'special assistance' from the [[Boyar]], or even the Tsar, before they are ever replaced.
+
Particularly in the [[Akimsilik Region]] civic politics have taken a strange turn with civic politicians adopting national platforms.  More and more civic politicians seem convinced that the [[Garis Triumvirate]] is long overdue for a war to subjugate the rest of [[Otan]] under the only proper and sensible government on the continent... a [[Garis]] controlled government.
  
 
==Military==
 
==Military==
−
The [[Ortalyk military]] is made up of 18 regular divisions and one special division dubbed The [[Tsar's Guard]].  The latter are hand picked soldiers from the other provincial regiments.  Provincial divisions are recruited and organized by that province's Boyar, though it is rare for the Boyar to be part of the division.  Each division not led by the Boyar is commanded by soldier of the rank of general.
+
[[File:GarisBorderPatrol2.jpg|thumb|700px|The [[Garis Border Patrol]] checking travel papers.]]
 +
Estimating the size and capability of the [[Garis military]] is difficult because their capabilities are mostly shrouded in secrecy.  Few outside of the country have encountered a single member of the [[Garis military]].  Those brave enough to approach the border will often find themselves facing the [[Garis Border Patrol]], who keep units patrolling the forested borders on land, and have many river and sea vessels as well.
  
−
Military organization can vary from one division to another depending on a number of factors from recruitment and logistics, to terrain and the nature of the enemy.  Flying enemies may require special tactics, while tunneling enemies require another.  The bulk of most regiments are made up of infantry, followed in numbers by crossbowmen, cavalry, engineers, quartermasters, signallers and special forces.  The latter often made up of spellcasters and other adventurer classes. 
+
The true might of the [[Garis military]] is estimated to be ominous.  Triumvirate leader, [[Zhannur Timurlan]] has lately promoted the idea that his military could easily conquer all of [[Otan]], despite running afoul of the wishes of the [[Council of Nine]].  The weapons available to the [[Garis Border Patrol]] and the various Garis police departments indicate a technology that exceed the rest of [[Otan]].   
  
−

The Garis Triumvirate

The Garis Triumvirate is one of the more densely populated countries in Otan, with 4.6 million Garis inhabitants in and area measuring 76,000 square miles. The population of Garis is divided into three regions which are as much ethnically divided as they are politically.

The southern region, called the Ustemdik Region is host to three million Garis of the Ustemdik variety. These lupine featured citizens are invariably hawks in national politics and are almost always in a state of war readiness. The northern region, Beybitsilik Region is made up of the hyena featured Beybitsilik variant, who are at their core a peace-loving people. The third and smallest region is the administrative Akimsilik Region. The vulpine Akimsiliks administer the country's wealth and provide a means of centralizing the Garis Triumvirate government.

Population[edit]

A Political Map of the Garis Triumvirate

The Garis Triumvirate is made up of 4,600,000 Garis souls with very few non-Garis calling the country their home. While Half-Garis exist, they tend to find life in Garis tedious and will often travel west where more mixed race people tend to live. Meanwhile in the Garis Triumvirate, the population is divided into three variants:

Geography[edit]

The Garis Triumvirate is a smaller country bordering Altinqor to the north, Sigis to the northeast and Ontustik to the west. It's southern and eastern borders are coastal.

Within the country, the landscape is made up nearly entirely of deciduous forest, carved by many rivers and dotted with the occasional marsh areas. The capitol of Trappist sits on the Trappist River very near the coast. The deep river makes it a natural inland port, though trade with the Garis Triumvirate is somewhere between limited and non-existant.

Garis Triumvirate Regions[edit]

The Garis Triumvirate is made up of 3 distinct regions, each under the control and supervision of an administratively selected leader.

Akimsilik Region[edit]

The major settlements are as follows:


Ustemdik Region[edit]

Urban population 168,933
Total population 2,974,734

Ustemdik Region is a territory of 2,974,734 souls in the country of Garis Triumvirate. Ustemdik Region is administered from the provincial capital Saiph by the Commander in Chief Zhannur Timurlan. Zhannur Timurlan was appointed to the position of Commander in Chief by an administrative process. The Commander in Chief is one of the three of the country's leaders.

The major settlements are as follows:

Political Environment[edit]

The Garis Triumvirate has very closed political system and keeps itself as separate from the rest of Otan as possible. Their tripartite system of maintaining a balance between warmakers, peacekeepers and administrators has little room for outside interference. Their political goals are to set the national dial to one of two settings, war or peace.

International Politics[edit]

Very little goes on between the Garis Triumvirate and other nations. They do not have embassies in any other nation save the League of Dweorgen Miners. This embassy is set up solely in the interest of trade, specifically geared toward the acquisition of Dweorgen metals. With an ever keen eye on pursuing war, the need for metals by the Garis Triumvirate is an ever-present priority in Garis politics.

The Garis Triumvirate has been largely overlooked in world politics as the country remained neutral in the Grendel War. The Garis Triumvirate triumvirate did sign onto the international treaty called the Concord of Kala Astanals. This treaty, among other things, calls for a cessation of warfare between nations, fair treatment of nationals from other countries within one's borders, and fair exchanges and fair treatment of prisoners.

National Politics[edit]

"For too long..." Zhannur Timurlan works up a crowd.

Though the country signed on to the Concord of Kala Astanals, providing new levels of harmony between nations, they remain poised for war at all times. The Garis people are continuously resentful of the spread of humans throughout Otan often to the exclusion of other races. The Ustemdik people are particularly eager for the onset of war and prepare for it constantly.

Their current leader Zhannur Timurlan has been making unprecedented levels of appeals to the leaders and the people of both other regions to vote in favour of war. Timurlan is certain that the forces collected in his own region are sufficient to dominate the entire continent of Otan. Even skeptics of his enthusiasm for war concede the possibility that he may get his wish; a mandate for war.

Provincial Politics[edit]

Regional politics are controlled by a highly administrative system with a well functioning succession plan for the three regional leaders. This administrative system eliminates elections, or any other form of political juggling for the top spot. Leading candidates are weight by a standard set of criteria. Those ruled to be 'gaming' the system are quickly eliminated from the succession plan and thus, order is kept.

Civic Politics[edit]

Particularly in the Akimsilik Region civic politics have taken a strange turn with civic politicians adopting national platforms. More and more civic politicians seem convinced that the Garis Triumvirate is long overdue for a war to subjugate the rest of Otan under the only proper and sensible government on the continent... a Garis controlled government.

Military[edit]

Estimating the size and capability of the Garis military is difficult because their capabilities are mostly shrouded in secrecy. Few outside of the country have encountered a single member of the Garis military. Those brave enough to approach the border will often find themselves facing the Garis Border Patrol, who keep units patrolling the forested borders on land, and have many river and sea vessels as well.

The true might of the Garis military is estimated to be ominous. Triumvirate leader, Zhannur Timurlan has lately promoted the idea that his military could easily conquer all of Otan, despite running afoul of the wishes of the Council of Nine. The weapons available to the Garis Border Patrol and the various Garis police departments indicate a technology that exceed the rest of Otan.

Additionally, the sea vessels in the border patrol's coast guard indicate a higher naval technology and lastly, there is rumour of a Garis Air Force, made up of giant dirigibles. The notion of air superiority was first introduced to the world of Otan when the Aydahar military employed dragons into its front line tactics. This was a hard lesson for those who faced dragons on the battlefield. The Garis have clearly been learning from the successes and mistakes of others.
