Origins and Creation of the Caidanadian Concentration

The Unified Sovereignty Concord, often simply referred to as The Concord, was proposed by Cananadia in 1874 amidst growing uncertainty about a looming global conflict, which would later become World War I. The treaty aimed to unite the nations of Hera under a single governing body to prevent war and strengthen mutual defense.

Timeline of Events

  • 1874: The initial proposal is presented to Hera's nations, emphasizing unity and collective security.
  • 1880: Preliminary agreements are signed by Philoteyn, Zantera, Saskontoba, Tulheyo, and Copnhada.
  • 1892: After years of negotiation, all Hera nations join, including Sumech, Tadda, Pode, Udl, Chutsi, and Noratali. The Caidanadian Concentration is officially established.
  • 1895: Construction of administrative hubs begins, centralizing power and gradually dissolving independent national governments into provincial governance structures.
  • 1898: Recognizing the unique dangers posed by Lumea Sangelui, a specialized clause creates the Walled Dominion, isolating the provinces of Pode, Udl, Chutsi, and Noratali.

The Concord and the Formation of Lumea Sangelui

Motivations for the Wall

  • Containment: To prevent the Báuturíí and Máncátír from threatening surrounding provinces.
  • Protection: To shield the residents of Lumea Sangelui from external threats and curious outsiders.
  • Secrecy: To hide the supernatural truths of the region from the world.

The Walled Dominion

  • Construction: Began in 1896 and completed in 1905, the 100-foot wall was reinforced with sanguinite-infused concrete, providing both physical and magical barriers.
  • Governance: The Walled Dominion was granted semi-autonomous governance under the Concentration's oversight, allowing Lumea Sangelui to maintain its internal laws and traditions while contributing resources to the greater Concord.

Key Provisions of The Concord

Governance

  • The Caidanadian Concentration governs through a centralized parliament with representatives from each province. However, Lumea Sangelui operates as a semi-autonomous entity.
  • Lumea Sangelui is tasked with controlling its supernatural inhabitants and ensuring that no Báuturíí or Máncátír threatens the Concord.

Mutual Exchange

What the Concentration Provides:

  1. Military Support: The Concentration deploys advanced technologies and soldiers to maintain the wall and protect Lumea Sangelui’s borders.
  2. Technological Aid: Medical devices and surveillance systems tailored to contain supernatural threats.
  3. Secrecy: The Concentration ensures that Lumea Sangelui remains hidden from international scrutiny.

What Lumea Sangelui Provides:

  1. Hemomantic Resources: Access to rare artifacts, blood-based serums, and alchemical compounds derived from Báuturíí and Máncátír biology.
  2. Elite Forces: Máncátír warriors during their stable cycles, trained for high-risk missions.
  3. Knowledge: Hemomantic techniques and rituals used to enhance Concentration technology and operations.

Tensions and Conflicts

Mistrust

  • Lumea Sangelui's Concerns:
    • Exploitation of their supernatural resources.
    • Dependence on the Concentration for protection.
    • Resentment from Báuturíí and Máncátír populations who view the pact as an infringement on their autonomy.
  • Concentration's Concerns:
    • Fear of rogue Báuturíí or Máncátír causing chaos.
    • Worry over the uncontrollable nature of hemomancy and transformative cycles.
    • Discontent from provincial leaders who see Lumea Sangelui as a drain on resources.

Internal Political Struggles

  • Provinces Opposed: Provinces like Philoteyn and Copnhada often push for tighter control over Lumea Sangelui, citing security risks.
  • Provinces Supportive: Provinces like Pode and Chutsi, which border the Walled Dominion, advocate for maintaining the pact, as their economies benefit from the unique trade relationship.

Rogue Elements

  • Rebellions: Groups within Lumea Sangelui occasionally rise up against the Concentration’s oversight, often led by rogue Báuturíí or Máncátír.
  • Subterfuge: Certain Concentration factions have secretly sought to exploit Lumea Sangelui’s resources beyond the terms of the Concord, risking exposure of the nation’s secrets.
