Thirva

'''Thirva''' is the [[Ildorian]] goddess of the hearth, one of two primary deities in Ildorian culture. She represents the warmth, fire, life. She is married to the god of ice and death, [[Throck]]. The two are said to be constantly at odds with each other, yet they are always in many ways necessary for each other. For example, a sword, which is hard and made from iron or steel, must be forged in fire. Fire is a feminine energy that strengthens the masculine.

The Ildorians do not necessarily worship their deities, but more so their culture is "aware" of them, and they try to act in various ways to please them.

==Superstitions and Concessions==
*Corporal punishment usually consists of chaining one outside naked. If they survive the cold of night, they are said to be favored by Thirva.
*They do not snuff out smoke sticks, as they are believed to be a gift from Thirva.

The '''United Territories of Ildoria''' is a group of islands in the northern [[Turryphian Ocean]]. It is one of the newest nations in [[Lesser Galwyndor]], having come into existence in 1327.8 following a bloody [[Ildorian Revolution]]. It is governed by a [[Limited Preceptocracy]] from the capitol city of [[Whitehall]].

People of Ildoria are referred to as being "Ildorian".

==History==
[[File:Galyndor_political_map.jpg|thumb|left|Ildoria, shown to the northwest in red.]]
[[File:Ildoria_emblem.jpg|thumb|left|The flag of Ildoria.]]
Sometime between the [[Purge]] and now, Ildoria acquired the lands once held by [[New Brelwyn]], [[Northlan]], [[Weild]], and the [[Westlan Isles]].

===Ildorian Revolution===
{{main|Ildorian Revolution}}
'''The Ildorian Revolution''' was a rebellion led by [[Sceratus]] [[Treylin Greyfell]] and his [[Ravenhelm]] unit in an attempt to reinstall King [[Davvis of Doria]] on the throne at [[Whitehall]] after all the members of [[House Doria]] was thought to have been assassinated by [[Rior of Jeglund]] of the [[Thronehelm]]. The Revolution lasted just over three years, beginning in 11324.3 and ending 11327.8.

==Geography==
===Climate and Environment===
Ildoria has a varied, humid climate. Most of the coastline experiences generally wet summers due to the warm North [[Turryphian]] Current, and very cold winters, especially inland. Must of Ildoria consists of bogs and mires, which are farmed for peat. Only about two of the summer months are warm, most of the others are cold.

===Provinces===
Ildoria is made up of five provinces:
*Ildoria - largest province
*[[New Brelwyn]]
*[[Northlan]]
*[[Weild]]
*[[Westlan Isles]]

===Major Settlements===
*[[Appleton Harbor]]
*[[Blackhorn Bow]]
*[[Chedney]]
*[[Cinder City]] - home of several reputable smiths, including [[Rutlig]]

*[[Galvantry]] - home of the [[University of Galvantry]]
*[[Glenstack]]
*[[Inthos]]
*[[Jrelovna]]
*[[Kayswater]]
*[[Kelstone]]
*[[Lastwan]]
*[[Nethern]]
*[[Peatland]]
*[[Rackington]]
*[[Silverton Cove]]
*[[Stoland]]
*[[Talkva]]
*[[Tresper]]
*[[Turry]] - home of [[Mader-Chackett College]]
*[[Vatura]]
*[[Whitehall]] - capitol city and home of the [[Whitehall Anvil]] [[overball]] club

==Politics==
===Government===
Ildoria uses a Limited [[Preceptocracy]], which is a sort of shared monarchy among the noble houses, yet it also has elements of a preceptocracy, like a constitution.
===Law===
Corporal punishment usually consists of chaining one naked outside. If they survive the night, it means they are favored by Thirva, goddess of the hearth.

===Allies===
[[Terismark]] and [[Gruenormark]] are considered allies.

===Military===

|}

==Economy==
===Agriculture===
The largest export is peat, which is in high demand due to how flammable it is. The widespread scarcity of wood, trash, and even livestock feces makes peat a viable replacement for use in fire.

===Industry===
Ildoria is rich in iron and other metals, which are used to make a wide variety of materials. It is one of two countries that produces [[darkmetal]], the other being [[Andermark]].

==Demographics==
===Language===
Nearly 100% of the country speaks [[Canderian]], with approximately 12% of the population also being able to speak old Ildorian. Only a handful of people in Ildoria understand [[High Vinthish]], most of them being scholars who attended universities elsewhere.

===Religion===
The majority of Ildorians are irreligious, with the exception of attending to the deities [[Throck]] and [[Thirva]], god of ice and goddess of the hearth. These two deities are husband and wife, and constantly at odds with each other. A small percentage of Ildorians practice a variation of the folk medicine/religious practice called [[Salarian]].

==Culture==
Due to the colder climate and the abundance of metals, many Ildorians opt to work the forges and smelts. The culture values hard things - metal, stone, and ice - and the men strive to be hard like these. Ildorians also pride themselves especially on their armor and weapons. Many centuries of metalworking combined with the need for superior craftsmanship in order to compensate for smaller numbers of forces contributed to their proficiency in this industry. The men do not have hair on their heads or faces, as this shows they are able to withstand the cold. Hair is for women and children. The men do not complain of the cold. Anything that burnns, such as smoke sticks, is said to be a gift from Thirva.
===Sex and Marriage===
They hold a liberal view on sexual relations, as the climate is typically cold. Sex is another gift from Thirva, for warmth and pleasure. Ildorians are known to have many partners, even after marriage, but only with permission from the spouse.
===Death===
They practice cremation, as the people strive to be like iron. This means they are then returned to the forge. "Your iron is forged." They will also have a smith forge a weapon or armor piece so the spirit of the dead is imbued upon the item. The bearer of the item will then frequently "sacrifice" mead or meal to the spirit, which is said to keep the item strong.
===Rites of Passage===
Young men must work a year in the mines so they can appreciate the ore that keeps them in sword and shield. Only after their time in the mines are they allowed to shave their heads. Girls go through the same thing, only they spend a year in the peat bogs, and afterwards may braid their hair.

===Superstition===
*Never piss on a fire. If you do, your armor will be weakened. This is like pissing on the forge that made it.
*They eat fast before the food gets cold. If the food grows cold, Throck is said to be tasting it for himself.
*Never snuff out a smoke stick. This is an affront to Thirva.
