Bergwerk

In one sentence Bergwerk is Fantasy Russia.
In more words, Bergwerk is a nation on the continent of Osath. It spans the northern half, past the peaks of the Vulcan Weibercroft. Founded a century after the nation of Natdivida in approximately 100 PD (Post Discovery), Bergwerk has slowly expanded their nation across the Launau Glas glacier and the northernmost region of Meridian. The capital of Bergwerk is First City, a massive underground city.

Environment

The entirety of Bergwerk is built upon a glacier and permanently frost covered mountains. The early settlement of First City relied on their proximity to the ocean for food and water.
Later, in 500 PD, a farm system was established which has continued to supply the population with food.

Society

Demographics

The main demographics of Bergwerk include Orcs, Firbolgs, Dwarves, and Humans. This is in part by the human and elf-dominant state of Natdivida forcing the more natural denizens further and further away.
In more recent years, following 1210 when the production of Levia was expedited by researchers from Natdivida, there have been an increasing number of races that have innate magical abilities. This can been seen with the increasing number of Tieflings, Giants, Eldarin, Tortles, etc.

Politics

For as long as Bergwerkian history has been recorded, the leader has been @The Supreme. His is law is absolute. He is the leader of the military
He is advised by a council called the @Captain's Triad. This is a group of three advisors encompassing the following domains:

1. Captain of Agriculture: Oversees the production of natural and human resources.
2. Captain of Intelligence: Oversees the development of information both nationally and internationally
3. Captain of Industry: Oversees the production of unnatural resources and infrstructure.

Military

The military only follows order from the Supreme or one of his Captains. As developed by Hetgi Kolokov 15 years ago, the overarching goal of the military is SEAD.

Suppression of Enemy Advancement and Defenses (SEAD).

The military was then divided to four divisions that keep with the goals of Bergwerk's internal structure.

• Skulker: Spies that were trained to infiltrate
• Enforcer: Those who were physically capable enough to wield magics and swords
• Auditor: Researchers who were going to develop the bergwerkian military to be the best in the world
• Doctor: Healers who were to act as military doctors and treat who the authorities told them to.

All able-bodied persons are required to report for military service from the ages of 18-25. Those who enlist and are exceptionally gifted can be chosen as a specialist in a specific branch of SEAD. They are then run through serious trainings and are eventually enhanced with Levia.

Religion

Bergwerk does not subscribe to the worship of one particular deity, though they do broadly follow the teachings of the Founding Gods . Any worship outside of the Founders is outlawed.

Laws

For most citizens, there is little room for rule-breaking. Most of the time, the Enforcers of Bergwerk are told to shoot first, ask questions later. Any discussion of rebellion, or heresy towards the supreme is outlawed, and will result in death or being sent to the Farm.
The @Farm to most is a ghost story parents tell their children to prevent them from misbehaving. The same can be said for the person said to be in charge of the farm, Torrenta, Lady of Pain. The farm is real, though besdies producing food, not much is known of what occurs there.
