Terhan Setting Notes (C.UWC1. Vestigoud)

Mashter-Potato

Profile


Description
The leading member of the 'United Western Coalition', Vestigoud is a beautiful mixture of walled towns, fortified cities, and rolling fields of wheat. While natural treelines have been extinct for the past couple hundred years, it should be noted that recent efforts of sectioning farmland to convert into forestry centres have been made, albeit not without resistance.

Vestigoud is lead by a President (Currently ???) who serve for a Term lasting five years. There are no limits to these terms, but the public must be in clear favour of one of those nominated for the position.

Noteworthy Settlements

  • Lishal - The Capital of Vestigoud, and the seat of power of the United Western Coalition, Lishal is a vast example of how to grow the city up alongside the wheat, with fortified walls whose oldest age was before the foundations of Vestigoud was formally founded. Curiously but easily understandable, Lishal has the most bakeries then any other city on the world, each having their own styles and customers who will argue that it is the best in the city, yet none has successfully managed to hold the title.
  • [Fortress Spire] - Known as the Fortress Spire, [Fortress Spire] was originally built on a town and it's fortifications. However, as time progressed, the entrapment of their fortifications and a growing population meant that the once relatively flat and small town has become a veritable tower city surrounded by one of the few remaining natural forests.

Noteworthy History

  • Born November 17th, [Date.T1] to a family of wealthy farmers, Theodora Bloemveld was an accomplished Markswoman, Survivalist, and Environmentalist. She later became the 5th president of Vestigoud on [Date.T2] and served for several terms (or 35 Years) before finally retiring from politics. Though this did not mean an end to Theodora's story, as she added 'Philanthropist' to her list of deeds by donating much of her excess wealth to several charities, some of which she had started. Her mighty life lasted until December 29th, [Date.T3], as she passed peacefully in her sleep at the age of 92.
    • Theodora's personality was said to be breath-taking to experience, from being like a kind neighbour to arguing so passionately that she could convince all but the most hardcore of oppositions. Though, given her experiences, she was not a stranger to conflicts, be it wrestling wild animals to avoid killing them, serving both in office and as an acting general during the Bezumidan Revolts, and being shot multiple times, either through accident or attempts on her life.
    • In current history, the central family of the Bloemveld dynasty is still highly regarded in the light of society, providing a figurehead to a series of charities and companies, and maintaining the history made over [Years] ago.
  • During the Bezumidan Revolts...
    • The 22nd company of the Vestigoud National Army, known as 'Trench Rats', successfully breach the defensive lines of captured Marcititila long enough to significantly disrupt supply lines by theft and destruction of vital equipment. Thus forcing the complete collapse of the line and allowing the advancement of the Krievystan 5th regiment into enemy territory.
