Some facts about Toutanglom:
Throughout their long history, the people of Toutanglom have held a deep and enduring fascination with biology and related scientific fields. This interest became a defining element of their cultural identity, shaping not only their academic pursuits but also their artistic expression and architectural practices.
Toutanglom architecture reflects this biological devotion. Structures were designed with an organic aesthetic, appearing almost alive. Buildings incorporated bio-engineered materials resembling vines and tissues, interwoven to form walls that could subtly breathe and adapt to environmental conditions. Rooftops were crowned with luminous solar membranes that absorbed sunlight much like foliage, while motifs depicting radiant suns appeared frequently throughout their designs.
At the heart of Vesclum stands the monumental Suris Statue, the foremost symbol of the state. Rising to a height of 2,489 meters, its construction spanned several decades. The statue is capped by two stylized suns, symbolizing the act of bringing light and prosperity to the nation.
The exact number of biological research and experimental facilities within Toutanglom remains unknown. However, many estimates suggest that approximately 300 such complexes lie concealed underground throughout the country.
Toutanglom was also a notable pioneer in artificial nourishment technologies, developing laboratory-produced, edible food long before such practices became widespread.
In the center of the state lay a mysterious expanse of dead land upon which, in theory, nothing should have been able to grow. Should anything take root there, it was regarded as an omen and was to be eliminated at once. This desolate region, referred to as the Tuvtum Mortom, remained uninhabited for many centuries.
Brief modern history:
Before the establishment of the modern Toutanglom, the nation existed under the regime known as the Toutanglom United Republic. This state endured for nearly two centuries before collapsing into a civil war in 1167 between two major factions: the Murrani (purple), who controlled the South, and the Croci (yellow), who held the North. These two clans had jointly governed the republic since its founding, but tension over political power had always lingered between them.
The situation deteriorated dramatically after the leader of the state, Upsed Uhtavis Upsedis, was assassinated by an unknown hitman on 5 November 1166. His death triggered months of intense disagreement between the Murrani and Croci over who should assume leadership, and no successor could be elected. After four months of deadlock, the Croci launched a coup, declared themselves the rightful rulers of Toutanglom, and sought to diminish the influence of the Murrani, insisting that the nation should obey a single authority. In response, the Murrani established their own government in the South—where their influence was strongest—thus igniting a violent civil war driven by political ambition.
The war lasted nearly two decades. Continuous battles caused immense destruction: millions perished, over half of the territory in both regions was devastated, and several cities were completely wiped out. As the conflict progressed, shortages of essential goods and waves of refugees caused additional suffering. The war finally ended with the defeat of the Croci at the Battle of Pelsa in 1183. The remaining Croci forces deserted or fled to neighboring southern nations. The Murrani emerged as the dominant clan and assumed full control of the state.
However, their challenges were far from over. Years of conflict had left the republic in total ruin with the severe shortage of nourishment and waterlessness, the civil war lead to a famine that spread across the entire state, crime rate surged and shelter was heavily destroyed that lead to a great amount of homeless percentage—a period later referred to as the Loufir (Loss), this period was remembered not only for its hardships but also for the grim imagery it produced. One of the most striking symbols was the so-called "mountain of corpses," formed from bodies of those who had died from starvation, violence, or various other causes. These accumulations were usually constructed in empty fields. At the time, proper funerary rites were not a priority; Tanglomi authorities had little choice but to gather the dead in a single place and postpone ceremonial burial until circumstances allowed. Over time, more bodies were added to each heap, gradually creating a mound that came to be known as a Mutanmenus.
Entire fields became filled with these mounds. They were inhabited by swarms of blowflies, beetles, maggots, rats, crows, and other scavengers. Both the sky and the ground were thick with such creatures, reinforcing the dreadful appearance of these sites. The largest recorded Mutanmenus is estimated to have contained approximately 1,500 individuals.
Distrust toward the new Murrani-led government remained strong, particularly in the North. The young administration was immediately confronted with the immense task of recovering a shattered society. Although progress was slow, this era laid the foundational framework for the future modern Toutanglom.
After nearly a decade of effort, the state began to manage the consequences of the war, largely thanks to the reconstruction initiative known as Toutiuf Recuprum, which aimed to repair wartime damage and rebuild trust both in the South and, gradually, in the North. Following its recovery, the state resumed its previously delayed biological research initiatives, strengthened further through cooperation with Draviskas.
Although the material cost of the war was eventually rebuilt, the memory of the nearly two decades of civil conflict—and of the subsequent Loufir—remained a lasting taboo within Tanglomi culture. Even after many of the fields were cleansed, a significant portion of the population refused to enter them, believing these places to carry a heavy spiritual burden. In later years, several of these fields were consecrated and transformed into sites of national ceremony, serving both as memorial grounds and as reminders of the suffering endured.
In 1193, a powerful and rapidly spreading biological agent was completed: Helix-9. This agent became infamous for its extraordinary transmissibility through respiration and its unprecedented effects achieved through advanced biological manipulation. In its early stage, Helix-9 resembled a common flu, causing cough, fever, and fatigue. After two days, symptoms escalated: severe throat pain preventing speech, red rashes causing intense itching, muscle paralysis, and increasing difficulty in breathing. By the third stage—typically two days later—the throat appeared to decay as if melting, the skin deteriorated, consciousness was lost, blindness followed, and in some cases bone erosion was recorded. This stage lasted only eight hours before death. Its only notable weakness was that natural immunity could develop, eventually producing herd immunity.
After extensive consideration, Toutanglom decided to test this new weapon on Thauris, a powerful and long-standing regional threat formed from the unification of Hledisland, Raginheim, and Morthen. Thauris had supported the Northern regime during the civil war and continued to provoke Toutanglom afterward through repeated border attacks. Although strong, Thauris was known for its fragile central authority and frequent ethnic divisions.
On the mornings of 15 and 23 January 1195, specially engineered birds—another biological product created by Toutanglom—carried the Helix-9 agent across the Thauris border. This event triggered the Zeta Flu, a devastating pandemic that spread rapidly and caused the swift collapse of Thauris, particularly targeting regions around Hleidisland, as the region constituted the core of the nation's economic and military strength, its destruction would imperil the entire state.. The effectiveness of Helix-9 was decisively proven through this outbreak. The biological terrorist documents were highly classified, as the state did not yet want to reveal it.
Following the success of Helix-9, Toutanglom continued to develop even more advanced biological weapons. In 1199, the state initiated the Meitium Touts Upsannom plan, an ambitious national program aimed at improving all aspects of society and further strengthening the cultural identity of the nation.
In 1201, the Meim-Upsed-Planom project was initiated—a grand undertaking aimed at improving logistics and transportation across multiple routes, with particular emphasis on strengthening the transport system in the South. The project was concluded successfully in 1205.
In 1204, taking advantage of its long coastline, multiple ports began construction and repair in an effort to rival Senas Tuath directly, setting the stage for a renewed period of tension and an extended trade war between Toutanglom and Senas Tuath. The most advanced and modern ports were Akkiudum and Rakkiom, receiving millions of visits each year, largely from long-distance overseas trading partners.
Following the success of Helix-9, two more powerful biological agents—VESTRAKO-12 and Kluvis-Orum—were developed simultaneously in 1206 and 1207. Both were manufactured viral agents created by Toutanglom. These were tested only on mice; although there were initial plans to release a pandemic upon enemy states, concerns that repeated outbreaks would attract regional attention and bring strategic disadvantages led to the abandonment of the plan. Toutanglom's ambitions did not end with the creation of disease-spreading agents; they sought to develop fully cloned and mutated soldiers. This was secretly initiated under the codename TTT-3X, but ultimately failed due to technological limitations of the time.
From 1213 to 1216, numerous minor border conflicts occurred between Toutanglom and Abern. At one point, the Toutanglom United Republic attempted to conquer Abern, but due to strategic errors the campaign failed—marking the first direct confrontation between the two nations. Their mutual hostility did not diminish despite multiple peace treaties. On 3 April 1215, a misunderstanding nearly escalated into total war. Abern, believing an intruder had crossed into its territory, prepared to launch a strike on a Toutanglom military camp. The attack was cancelled when it was determined that, due to weather and technical error, a wild wolf had been misidentified as an enemy soldier. Continued border provocations caused ongoing security concerns, leading Toutanglom to propose a peace treaty on 12 May 1216. Abern, having gained nothing from its border aggressions, accepted the treaty; however, tensions persisted, merely delayed rather than resolved. Abern continued provocations, and Senas Tuath remained an additional, long-standing maritime rival over control of the Sea of Song.
During the civil war, Senas Tuath launched arbitrary attacks on Toutanglom's ports, destroying many of them. The loss of these ports contributed to the post-war disaster due to the collapse of overseas aid routes. On the morning of 27 June 1224, an unusual explosion occurred at Rakkiom Port, causing a massive fire and destroying half the facility. Although there were no casualties, the reputation of Toutanglom suffered greatly as numerous ships were docked at the time. Certain of the perpetrator, Toutanglom declared war on Senas Tuath four days later, beginning the Fifth Sea of Song War, despite Senas Tuath denying responsibility. The war lasted approximately two months, with the primary objective of destroying Senas Tuath's ports. Three major ports and fifteen minor ports were reported severely damaged, though the ports of Vesklum and Befiu were also heavily damaged after missile strikes on Toutanglom's side. The war concluded when both sides determined continuation was no longer worthwhile and agreed to mutual free port operation. Toutanglom's goal of destroying more than nineteen percent of Senas Tuath's operating ports was unsuccessful due to the latter's sea defense systems. The war further intensified bilateral tensions.
On 1 January 1254, the Genetu Penterom, commonly referred to as "the Zoo," officially entered operation. It became the largest biological facility ever constructed, developed over nearly three decades, serving as the central site for producing biological products. Some of the most dangerous biological weapons were developed there, with many later traded overseas. The facility's exact location was kept under high classification, but general consensus suggested it was located beneath the Central South sector of the nation.
Between 1259 and 1265, Toutanglom concluded a series of significant trade treaties and commercial agreements with a growing number of foreign partners. Many of these accords were regarded at the time as highly promising, offering favorable terms and expanded opportunities for international exchange.
Following the escalation of the First Great War of Eldervale, on the night of 11 March 1272, a massive fire broke out in the forests along the border between Abern and Toutanglom. Believing Toutanglom responsible, Abern declared war the next morning, beginning the First Cross-Frontier War. The surprise attack, combined with rapid tactics, caught Toutanglom off guard and forced a retreat toward the Central South. Although the situation eventually stabilized, the defensive line narrowly held against constant aggression. Two months later, on 6 May, Senas Tuath joined the war alongside Abern in retaliation for the earlier destruction of its ports. With attacks from both North and South, the southern front collapsed and forces were pushed toward the capital in the northern front; the naval front also deteriorated.
Despite being incomplete, Toutanglom was forced to deploy its newest biological agents—most notably Ufaro-12, Meitas-03, and Brutan-DY. These agents were spread via artificial flying animals. Although still in development, the weapons proved deadly and efficient: within a week, the forces of both enemy nations fell into disorder and panic due to the rapid spread of disease among their soldiers.
Following the widespread collapse of both enemy fronts, the Tanglomi army seized the initiative, launching a series of coordinated offensive operations that rapidly pushed opposing forces back to their national borders. Within only two months of the initial outbreak, Tanglomi pressure had reshaped the strategic landscape of the war.
On the southern front, Abern—taking advantage of its dense forests and marshlands—shifted to a strategy of guerrilla warfare. Hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and sabotage operations significantly slowed Tanglomi advances and inflicted consistent disruptions across the invading lines. As Toutanglom continued to employ flying animals to disseminate biological agents, Abern authorities issued strict orders to eliminate any airborne creature within the contested zones.
On the northern front, the Tanglomi army struggled to completely eradicate Sunas Tuath forces within their territory, despite the severe casualties the latter suffered from exposure to the agents. During this period, Toutanglom devoted extensive resources to the development of more advanced dissemination methods and deliberated deploying even deadlier biological agents to shift the balance decisively.
On 25 December 1272, Toutanglom successfully tested a small autonomous flying device capable of distributing biological agents across vast areas. The device was immediately deployed. It traversed the entirety of both Sunas Tuath and Abern, releasing Helix-11, an enhanced and far more virulent successor to the earlier Helix-9 strain. The result was a devastating pandemic that destabilized both nations and contributed to their rapid attrition.
On 1 January 1273, Toutanglom launched a massive offensive into enemy territory. Recognizing their inability to continue effective resistance, Abern declared its intention to seek peace—following Sunas Tuath—on 15 February 1273. The treaty was signed in the capital of Toutanglom.
The treaty required both defeated states to pay substantial financial reparations for wartime damages and to cede ten percent of their territory to Toutanglom. They were further obligated to pledge strict non-aggression along the Tanglomi frontier. In addition, Sunas Tuath faced a specific maritime restriction, being compelled to reduce its naval activity in the Sea of Song to seventy percent below pre-war levels.
This conflict marked the first recorded use of biological weapons by Toutanglom on the battlefield. Victory elevated the state's regional standing, though it also generated cautious scrutiny from neighboring powers due to the unprecedented lethality of its biological arsenal. Nevertheless, the Tanglomi economy soon recovered and even flourished, buoyed by expanded influence over maritime routes in the Sea of Song.
Despite its recent success, Toutanglom remained wary of Hleidisland, especially after the latter's "Gaida Fanalis" Program and the emerging evidence linking it to the origins of the Zeta Flu. Fearing Hleidisland's growing militarization, Toutanglom forged a defensive alliance with Draviskas and Raginheim. This "Coalition" was united less by mutual trust than by shared apprehension.
After a series of small border clashes, open war erupted between the Coalition and Hleidisland on 7 November 1279. In Toutanglom, the conflict became known as the First Northern Defense War.
Yet the Coalition's internal divisions—marked by distrust, poor coordination, and conflicting strategic priorities—resulted in repeated failures on the battlefield, further compounded by Hleidisland's technological superiority. Attempts by Toutanglom to deploy biological agents proved ineffective, as Hleidisland's decades of disease-prevention expertise rendered the attacks largely futile.
Toutanglom soon suffered major losses, including the fall of Treiktur on 3 June and Ulkanim on 6 June. The Tanglomi army retreated to defensive positions along the Saprissa River, where they mounted a desperate stand under the slogan "Puisa pedem revortom es" ("Not a step back").
The Battle of the Saprissa River raged from 12 June to 4 November 1280. Though ultimately a Tanglomi defensive victory, the toll in manpower was catastrophic. Within six days of the battle's end, Toutanglom—exhausted and unable to continue fighting—accepted defeat alongside its allies.
The subsequent peace treaty, signed in Hleidisland's capital, forced Toutanglom to cede 8% of its remaining territory and pay massive reparations. Humiliated and eager to reclaim lost honor, factions within the state soon conspired with Coalition partners to plan a series of retaliatory terrorist attacks against Hleidis civilian centers.

Humiliated and eager to reclaim lost honor, factions within the state soon conspired with Coalition partners to plan a series of retaliatory terrorist attacks against Hleidis civilian centers.
The double defeat provoked widespread condemnation of Toutanglom's leadership. Karris Veltiom, the ruling head of state, was heavily criticized and eventually deposed. Simultaneously, internal divisions within the ruling Murrani clan erupted into open conflict, deepening national instability.
As public despair grew and trust in the government collapsed, separatist movements surged across the formerly annexed territories of Abern and Sunas Tuath. With external support, these regions swiftly rejoined their respective homelands while Tanglomi authorities remained mired in infighting.
The crisis intensified when the northern provinces of Toutanglom rose in revolt, nearly igniting a second civil war. Only rapid and forceful suppression prevented total fragmentation.
In this climate of political collapse, a clandestine ideological movement—the Trumperak Sloiga Feretrum Uisperiem (TSFU)—emerged. Long operating in secrecy since the end of the civil war, TSFU was a radical, ultranationalist organization advocating deeper cultural strenghthen, technological advancement, and decisive centralized authority. Seizing the moment of governmental weakness, TSFU orchestrated a coup, arresting remaining officials of the Murrani clan and abolishing it—thus ending the last surviving clan of the Old Republic after centuries of rule.
On 20 November 1282, TSFU proclaimed itself the new governing authority of Toutanglom. Karris Veltiom Rastufais assumed leadership of the state. Although the political vacuum was finally filled, the new regime inherited a nation plagued by civil unrest, economic strain, and profound societal trauma. Following the conclusion of the TSFU period and the consolidation of power by the central government, the Sakarater Toutam programme was launched under the leadership of Toutam. The initiative proved both efficient and judicious. Social stability was restored rapidly through the expansion of employment opportunities, the revival of civilian production, and a renewed emphasis on cultural development.
However, less than a decade later, the Second Great War of Eldervale erupted. Driven by escalating regional tensions and a strong desire to reclaim lost territories, Toutanglom—aligned with Raginheim—declared war on Hleidisland on 28 October 1291, taking advantage of its adversary's overextension on multiple fronts. Motivated by the belief that a powerful enemy must be confronted pre-emptively, the Tanglomi leadership ordered a strategy of continuous offensive action. Tanglomi forces succeeded in regaining most of their former lands within only a few weeks.
After restoring their territorial claims, Toutanglom offered a peace settlement, unwilling to prolong the conflict once its primary objectives had been achieved. As expected, Hleidisland rejected the proposal. Hostilities continued with a series of intensive offensive operations. Despite fighting with considerable determination, Tanglomi forces were eventually compelled to withdraw and establish defensive positions along the Saprissa River. Their second major defensive victory at the river, achieved after four months of relentless combat from December to 2 April 1292, forced Hleidisland to halt its advance.
At this stage, Toutanglom deployed its newest biological agents—SILENUS-9 and Vireo—refined variants of several prior experimental weapons. Their effects were unprecedented. Even the advanced medical and counter-disease systems of Hleidisland struggled to contain the outbreaks. These agents enabled Toutanglom to regain some ground, though their advance ultimately stalled due to exhaustion and attrition. Much of the northern region remained under enemy occupation.
With the Hleidisland front partially stabilized, Toutanglom declared war on Sunas Tuath and Abern on 30 April 1292. The campaign began with widespread biological attacks and the deliberate destruction of food supplies. Caught unprepared for such methods, both nations suffered rapid territorial losses. The Tanglomi advance halted only when Abern reverted to disciplined guerrilla tactics, and Sunas Tuath impeded Tanglomi operations by destroying key ports. Nevertheless, outbreaks of disease spread extensively across both countries.
Throughout the conflict, large numbers of prisoners of war—estimated at more than 800,000—were transported to Tanglomi research facilities for experimentation with further biological agents. From 15 to 20 July 1293, Hleidisland forces carried out a series of brutal retaliatory massacres in Tanglomi-occupied territories, the most infamous of which occurred at Brechthalla and Nerfinium. These atrocities were perpetrated in revenge for the devastating Zeta Flu epidemic attributed to Toutanglom. The massacres left deep psychological and cultural scars on the survivors and the Tanglomi nation as a whole.
After three years of combat with no decisive breakthroughs, all belligerents reached a state of exhaustion, and the frontlines solidified into stalemate. Tanglomi forces remained entrenched defensively until the proclamation of the Pax of Seraphic. Toutanglom signed the agreement on 5 July, effectively ending the conflict. The war left most of the northern territories devastated. A second Sakarater Toutam programme was initiated to address the extensive destruction. The northern regions were eventually restored to near pre-war conditions, with the programme also enabling new opportunities for urban replanning. Despite the peace, Toutanglom continued to expand its network of biological research facilities.
In 1296, the Suris Statue—an enduring symbol of the nation—was fully restored after sustaining significant damage in earlier conflicts. By 1320, Toutanglom completed development of the first generation of its cloning army, genetically modified to surpass standard soldiers in strength and endurance. Although prohibitively expensive and produced only in limited numbers, the program continued to expand.
On 18 February 1332, the Faleriiia Island Crisis unfolded when a Sunas Tuath vessel docked without authorization. In accordance with treaty procedures, the heads of state initiated diplomatic negotiations. After a month of tense discussions, an agreement was reached: the ship had docked in error, and Sunas Tuath pledged to notify Toutanglom in advance of any future maritime movements in the region.
During the following decades, Toutanglom maintained mutually cooperative—though cautious—relations with Draviskas and Raginheim. The post-Pax era became a period of sustained societal, economic, military, and cultural strengthening. Yet, despite the relative calm, the government consistently emphasized vigilance, reminding its citizens that future conflict remained a possibility.
In the year 1349, the state of Toutanglom completed development of its most destructive and terrifying biological weapon system—a composite and enhanced iteration of several earlier agents. These included Virudom Nerkhul, Nerkhul, Ullun-7, and Mortud-X. All four agents were classified at the highest security level and maintained in a constant state of military readiness.
These agents were notorious for their rapid transmissibility and for inducing fatal outcomes within mere hours of exposure. Documented clinical manifestations included acute multisensory failure, progressive tissue necrosis, rapid osteolysis, continuous internal hemorrhaging, cyanotic macular lesions across the dermal surface, severe respiratory impairment leading to terminal asphyxiation, and catastrophic immunosuppression.
Collectively, these agents rank among the most controversial and horrifying weapons ever conceived in recorded history.
On 30 June 1351, Marrukis Staiis Pompoiis was elected as the new head of state, continuing to shape national development until the outbreak of the Third Great War.
Idealology: Luminafracta
Based on their most sacred and ancient myth, successive generations have believed that even light itself is capable of betrayal. From this principle arises the doctrine that illumination is power—and all power must be vigilantly supervised. Radiance must be earned; any light that arrives without tribute is considered morally pure, whereas light that demands recognition or worship is regarded as inherently corrupted. Nothing powerful endures without fracture, and thus every leader, institution, and system must be designed to fail safely in most circumstances. Their tradition warns against overconfidence, teaching that the most self-assured leaders may be hollow within.
For them, rebirth is fundamentally communal: light reincarnates through the people collectively, never through isolated individuals. The value of the ideal lies in perpetual caution—never trusting the light blindly, for even beauty possesses the capacity to destroy worlds. Authority must be split into many fragments, like sunlight shattered through a prism. Communities are expected to rebuild after every collapse; failure is not a source of shame but a natural function of cosmic order. They uphold a form of "sacred skepticism," in which questioning, doubt, and suspicion are virtues, and a degree of institutionalized paranoia is semi-officially endorsed.
One of the central purposes of the doctrine is to prevent the return of "tyrant-sun" behaviors in all forms, ensuring that no power structure consolidates into a single, dominating "sun." The ideal calls for continuous vigilance against unseen threats and dormant lights left unburied. Collapse must be transformed into renewal, consciously repeating the cycle of rebirth. The barren lands—once scorched under the rule of the ancient tyrant-sun—are preserved as eternal reminders of cosmic despotism. Balance must be maintained between dual authorities; the loudest voice is never to be trusted.
The doctrine is structured around five foundational pillars: Fraktalum, which asserts that power must remain fractured and never allowed to consolidate into a singular authority; Solmurtis, which teaches that all brilliance inevitably decays and therefore all power must be continually observed, monitored, and restrained; Furtum Tavernum, a yearly silent vigil maintained to prevent the awakening of the "Third Light"; Luminaviga, which obligates communities to remain vigilant for unnatural lights, returning suns, or any signs of emergent tyranny; and Renovatrum Eldestai, which upholds the act of rebuilding after every collapse as the sacred means of honoring the Eldest Sun.
The ideal political system envisioned by this doctrine is a dual-leadership nation. The state must always be governed by a pair of leaders; if one dies, the surviving leader must voluntarily abdicate until a new pair is chosen. This structure applies even within single-party systems. One of the leaders may assume an additional ceremonial role as the symbolic representative of the state. The doctrine seeks to cultivate a population trained to distrust glory, for greatness is dangerous and modesty is sacred. Any centralized cult is strictly forbidden, as centralization is considered a cosmic invitation to disaster.
