The Presidential Relic (CONFIRM LOST): Toutanglom's independence from Ornazia in ███████ coincided with the appearance of [NON-PUBLIC], who briefly engaged [ERROR: CONTEXT MISSING], progenitor of the state. The encounter resulted in a contained miniature sun, later found to host an internal viral structure, catalogued only as 111111111111111111. No further record remains.
Ontological status (Post-Great war): Its continued existence is unclear; it was likely merged into the surviving Draviskas entity.
Overview:
Toutanglom, officially known as the Arcane Confederacy of Toutanglom, lies within the Oruwali region of Eldervale. To the north, she shares her borders with Ornazia and Bellatorum; to the south, with Abern and Velbor; to the east, with Hleidisland and Draviskas; and to the west, with Senas Tuath.
Her past is one scarred by relentless harassment from countless external threats. Toutanglom never dreamed of conquest, nor did she hunger for the lands of others. Yet her neighbors seldom allowed her the dignity of peace. Pressed from every side and shaped by generations of fear, she rose into a nation defined by hypervigilance and rigid conviction. Toutanglom is ossified in spirit, unyielding once her mind is set. When she clings to an idea, few can move her from it - not even her closest allies. She is, to put it plainly, rock-headed: stubborn enough to stand firm even when that very stubbornness may guide her toward ruin.
Though she bears no true ambition for conquest, Toutanglom desires something perhaps even more dangerous: to be feared. She wants other nations to look upon her with petrified eyes, to see her not as fragile, not as a state to be pressured or dismissed. She lusts for absolutism and inviolability, craving recognition above all else - recognition that she is not small, and that she will do whatever must be done to make the world understand it.
About Toutanglom:
⛧ Toutanglom has a deep obsession with biology, having created over 700,000 different biological agents, making it one of the most feared powers in Eldervale.
⛧ The nation is filled with secret underground research facilities, scattered across the land and heavily classified.
⛧ While known for deadly bio-weapons, Toutanglom also develops biological agents that enhance and support the human body.
⛧ Aside from its allies, Draviskas and Raginheim, Toutanglom maintains tense relationships with most neighboring states.
⛧ The terrain is mostly flat and covered in cyanoherba, a unique grass that appears light blue but shifts to sunlight yellow depending on lighting.
⛧ At the heart of Trifulum stands the massive Solinium Tower, rising over 3 kilometers tall. It resembles a living organism and houses a radiant artificial "biological sun" at its peak.
⛧ The Sea of Song is constantly contested between Toutanglom and Senas Tuath, leading to devastating conflicts such as: Great Pelagic Succession, War on Open Water, Oceanic Coalition War, Blue Boundary War…These wars often contributed to the collapse of past Tanglomi regimes.
⛧ Tanglomi people eat five meals a day, believing it strengthens their immune system.
⛧ Parts of Solangor and Molunir prefectures contain a toxic dead land, where nothing can grow and survival is nearly impossible.
Brief modern history:
I. THE LOUFIR FAMINE AND THE FALL OF THE MURRANI (1184–1186)
Years of protracted civil conflict between the dynastic houses of Murrani and Larrinaga over executive succession left the state in total ruin. Widespread famine, engineered through systematic scorched-earth warfare, initiated the Loufir - one of the most horrific human catastrophes in Toutanglom historiography. The period was defined by severe clinical manifestations including kwashiorkor, marasmus, and extreme edema, compounded by rampant waterborne epidemics. Total societal dissolution prompted the abandonment of dependents, ubiquitous sexual violence, prostitution for basic subsistence rations, opportunistic homicides, the consumption of inert toxic matter, and documented cannibalism among traumatized Tanglomi survivors.
Despite catastrophic conditions, the ruling administration maintained a policy of absolute denial, rejecting external humanitarian relief from Draviskas while actively sanctioning the diversion of grain reserves toward state-backed paramilitary factions. The defining emblem of the crisis became the Mutanmenus - grotesque, open-air mountains of unburied corpses left to decompose in vacant fields, the largest of which comprised roughly 3,000 individuals.
The state endured this engineered catastrophe for three years until Draviskas intervened, threatening unilateral military action to force the regime's capitulation. Although relief operations moderately stabilized the crisis by 1186, the institutional negligence cemented permanent public hostility, irrevocably branding the Murrani line as treasonous architects of national ruin.
II. THE ALTXAMENDUA UPRISING AND THE THIRTEEN HOUSES (1186)
Leveraging covert geopolitical backing from Draviskas, widespread popular insurgencies erupted against the state authority and its affiliated paramilitary factions in May 1186, initiating the Altxamendua Uprising. The movement was spearheaded by "The Thirteen Houses" - popularly termed the Houseman - a clandestine organization formed during the famine to orchestrate underground food rationing across southern Toutanglom. Exploiting their immense moral authority and public support, the Houseman rapidly mobilized armed cadres, securing central and southern Toutanglom within four weeks. On 18 July, insurgent forces seized Donostibar, apprehending the entire Murrani lineage alongside their executive enablers, effectively terminating nearly two centuries of entrenched plutocratic hegemony.
Following the regime's collapse, the Thirteen Houses transitioned into the de facto governing body, appointing Jon Garmendia as Head of State. Garmendia immediately institutionalized "Equitavism" - a unorthodox politico-economic doctrine designed to mandate a heavily subsidized, high-standard baseline of living for the populace while imposing rigid statutory ceilings on private capital accumulation and corporate expansion.
III. THE TOUTIUF RECUPRUM AND THE BIHAR ARABERA PROGRAM (1186–1193)
Under the Toutiuf Recuprum initiative (1186–1189), the state successfully rehabilitated its decimated infrastructure to pre-war baselines while cementing geopolitical alignment with Draviskas. The regime subsequently escalated its ideological agenda in 1192 through the Bihar Arabera program, enforcing sweeping nationalization across all heavy industries; former industrial magnates received zero capital restitution or nominal, insultingly low indemnities. Agricultural expropriation swiftly followed, seizing private holdings without compensation to aggregate land into collectivized state agrarian units.
By December, state authorities initiated the wholesale confiscation of individual private assets, triggering widespread extrajudicial purges. This predatory reform era culminated in the notorious Odol-Gaua ("Night of Blood") - a chaotic wave of state-sanctioned violence resulting in approximately 500 fatalities, widely condemned in contemporary accounts for its outright absurdity and arbitrary cruelty. The economic subjugation of the populace was finalized in February 1193, when all private financial institutions were liquidated and absorbed into a centralized state banking monopoly, placing every monetary transaction under permanent government surveillance.
IV. HELIX-9 AND THE ZETA FLU (1193–1195)
By 1193, the state biological warfare division completed the development of "Helix-9" - a hyper-virulent, rapidly propagating biological weapon designed for total population neutralization. Clinical progression was exceptionally aggressive: initial influenza-like symptoms rapidly escalated to acute pharyngeal necrosis, dermatological degradation, ocular destruction, and systemic osseous erosion, culminating in terminal collapse within eight hours of the final symptomatic phase. The pathogen was engineered to allow for rare instances of natural immunity within targeted control demographics.
On 15 and 23 January 1195, state operatives deployed genetically modified avian vectors to disperse Helix-9 across the frontier of Thauris (the unified political bloc comprising Hleidisland, Raginheim, and Morthen). The resulting "Zeta Flu" pandemic systematically dismantled Thauris's civil defense and administrative infrastructure, causing the near-instantaneous collapse of the state and definitively validating the weapon's operational lethality.
V. THE ERAUNTSI ECONOMIC COLLAPSE AND THE HERRI-GUDA CIVIL WAR (1193–1196)
Precipitated by aggressively myopic nationalization and expropriation, the Erauntsi era (1193–1194) catalyzed a systemic economic implosion. Hyperinflation, structural unemployment, and a pervasive poverty trap flourished alongside draconian state suppression, ultimately birthing an opportunistic neo-aristocracy from the ruins.
Following the Berrika Incident of June 1194 - the extrajudicial execution of two civilians by state security - simmering civil unrest metastasized into the Herri-Guda conflict. The nation fractured with the North coalesced under Ane Goikoetxea, a radical visionary intent on total state subversion, while the South clung to the entrenched oligarchy of the Thirteen Houses.
Battle of Urrondo, 14 August – 6 October 1194: Paralyzed by institutional inertia and tactical indecision, Houseman forces effectively capitulated, yielding a critical strategic nexus to Goikoetxea's vanguard.
Battle of Olartegi, 9 February – 11 March 1195: Resorting to indiscriminate purges, the Houseman apparatus orchestrated a draconian massacre of suspected dissidents. Predictably, this atrocity proved strategically catastrophic, galvanizing radicalist resolve and irrevocably eroding what little legitimacy the southern regime retained.
In May 1195, Goikoetxea initiated the Su eta Harri offensive, systematically obliterating the crumbling Houseman bulwarks. The ensuing Battle of Etxaran (3–23 June 1195) served as the oligarchy's death knell, definitively dismantling Houseman authority and installing Goikoetxea as the supreme architect of the new state apparatus.
VI. THE ANE REFORMS AND THE HEGAL SAREA (1196–1200)
Under the Goikoetxea administration, the state apparatus pivoted from societal cultivation to strict economic utilitarianism, engineering a comprehensive safety net ostensibly designed to eradicate the populace's primal struggle for survival. The era's logistical centerpiece was the Hegal Sarea - an ambitious aerial freight network engineered to drastically undercut terrestrial transit costs. Concurrently, the 1199 inauguration of the colossal Genoma Gunea biological installation marked the clandestine commencement of deeply unethical, albeit state-sanctioned, physiological experimentation.
VII. MARITIME RIVALRY AND THE FIFTH SEA OF SONG WAR (1200–1217)
By the 1200s, Toutanglom modernized its maritime infrastructure, revitalizing a mercantile sector stagnant since the 1180s to deliberately reignite its hegemonic friction with Senas Tuath. Anticipating escalation, Toutanglom obsessively fortified its archipelagos from 1205 to 1210 amid persistent, low-intensity naval skirmishing. Between June and December 1204, anomalous acoustic signatures were detected at a subterranean depth exceeding 30 kilometers (18.64 mi) beneath the Sea of Song. While speculative academics eagerly hypothesized the existence of undocumented abyssal megafauna, a predictable void of empirical evidence quickly relegated such claims to mere conjecture. Nevertheless, driven by deep-seated institutional paranoia, the state apparatus maintains a posture of perpetual, cautious hyper-vigilance against this entirely unverified subterranean threat.
In January 1209, following a series of exhaustive and largely performative synods, the state aggressively consolidated its disparate political institutions into a singular, monolithic entity. Ostensibly engineered to eradicate bureaucratic lethargy, endemic graft, and unchecked authority, the restructuring championed systems of sortition, weaponized transparency, and strictly term-limited overseers.
In October 1212, the performative tribunals processing the surviving Houseman remnants reached their predetermined conclusion. Jon Garmendia and his subordinate cadre were systematically liquidated - or rather, efficiently repurposed - via involuntary conscription as expendable human test subjects for the state's burgeoning biological weapons program.
The inevitable casus belli materialized on 20 June 1217 after a catastrophic detonation at Rakkiom Port yielding twenty casualties and massive infrastructural ruin. Conveniently attributing this sabotage to Senas Tuath, Toutanglom instigated the Fifth Sea of Song War. Characterized by relentless, reciprocal vandalism of maritime assets rather than grand strategy, this performative conflict sputtered out after a mere three months, culminating in both powers declaring mutual victory.
In November 1219, the Toutanglom merchant vessel Bakea vanished into the Sea of Song - an incident immediately met with predictable geopolitical theater as Toutanglom and Senas Tuath traded identical, evidence-free accusations of foul play. The Bakea proved merely the inaugural act. As subsequent vessels evaporated with regular efficiency within the maritime corridor bounded by Senas Tuath controlled islands, Inisi-Carnoka and Dubuinis and Toutanglom's Haizearte and Lainuharte, authorities christened the sector the "Tetra Meridian." Naturally, rather than confront potential state-sponsored piracy or sheer navigational ineptitude, officials conveniently tied the recurring disappearances to a previously documented acoustic anomaly.
VIII. THE H9 NECRO-PARASITIC BREACH (1223–1225)
In August 1223, a catastrophic biocontainment failure unleashed the H7-N-P9 (H9) pathogen. This unprecedented viral anomaly effectively reanimated deceased hosts, driving them into a hyper-metabolic state of perpetual starvation that mandated the violent consumption of living tissue. With a near-absolute secondary infection rate for untreated survivors, a necrotic biomass exceeding two million active vectors materialized within a mere thirty days. The state predictably panicked, enforcing a draconian cordon sanitaire and omnipresent martial surveillance until Draviskas's heavy-handed intervention finally halted the collapse. Curiously, this apocalyptic trauma was swiftly commodified by the populace, cementing macabre necrotic aesthetics as a lucrative staple of Tanglomi high culture. Although officially declared "neutralized" within a year - despite convenient bureaucratic disclaimers regarding lurking, dormant vectors - H9 was merely outlawed publicly, smoothly shifting continued variant weaponization safely into the shadows.
IX. INFRASTRUCTURAL PARALYSIS AND THE KUTSADURA CONSTANT (1228)
On 16 August 1228, reckless, unchecked hyper-scientific experimentation precipitated a massive, cascading grid failure. The northern territories were plunged into complete infrastructural paralysis, while select southern enclaves conveniently maintained power. Following a two-week systemic blackout, the regime's remarkably incompetent, haphazard grid reactivation triggered widespread electrical immolations across the recovery zones. In a classic maneuver of bureaucratic deflection, the government subsequently enacted the Kutsadura Constant - a rigid, performative regulatory framework ostensibly designed to mandate "ethical" operational procedures, but primarily functioning to solidify absolute state monopoly over future scientific endeavors.
X. THE SIXTH SEA OF WAR AND THE HAIZETOKI INSULAR ANOMALY (1235–1239)
On 14 January 1235, diplomatic friction with Senas Tuath intensified exponentially following the volcanic emergence of an insular landmass. This territorial flashpoint precipitated the Sixth Sea of Song War, localized primarily upon the nascent island. Following four months of sustained attrition, the landmass was partitioned; the sector under Toutanglom jurisdiction was formally codified as Haizetoki.
On 17 August 1238, Toutanglom forces initiated an irredentist foray into the contiguous partition. The assault was decisively neutralized, culminating in the complete subjugation of Haizetoki to Senas Tuath sovereignty. This operational failure induced profound domestic turbulence, compelling Head of State Oihan Agirre to tender his resignation on 29 August. Eneko Itsas subsequently acceded to executive governance.
XI. SYNCHRONOUS BILATERAL HOSTILITIES: ABERN AND SENAS TUATH (1239–1241)
Seeking to sublimate internal volatility, the Itsas administration formally declared war on Abern on 6 February 1239, aiming to effect the re-annexation of the Arribarren herrialde lost in 1180.
Battle of Pitneven (Arribarren herrialde), 8 March – 20 April 1239: A kinetic penetration enabled Toutanglom forces to reoccupy the entirety of the disputed herrialde.
Battle of Miglorn (Abern), 9 October 1239 – 2 January 1240: Toutanglom's forward velocity was definitively arrested. Expeditionary personnel sustained severe morbidity from endemic pathogens, hyper-saturated atmospheric humidity, and dense arboreal terrain.
Battle of Dunblane (Abern), 15 May – 4 June 1240: Toutanglom positions were comprehensively enveloped during a sophisticated asymmetric operation executed by Abern combatants, constituting the strategic pivot of the theater.
On 14 June 1240, Senas Tuath declared war against Toutanglom, establishing naval blockades across various archipelagos and capturing the primary maritime hub of Itsasgailu.
Following a catastrophic defeat at Pitcairn (Abern) on 11 March 1241, Toutanglom forces suffered systemic structural disintegration, retreating without central coordination. Decimated units incurred severe casualties from defensive countermeasures and engineered concealment traps along egress routes, culminating in the total excision of Toutanglom presence from the Abern mainland. On 20 April, Senas Tuath inaugurated the Slogad na Fola Campaign, penetrating Toutanglom's sovereign core.
XII. THE BFB JUNTA AND THE HAZIA PROJECT (1241–1249)
The ratified treaties catalyzed immediate institutional disintegration, compelling Asier Etxeberria's capitulation from office on 7 July. The ensuing power vacuum degenerated into systemic socio-political anarchy, which the Berpizkundearen Fronte Batua (BFB) - under the autocratic stewardship of military official Igor Handiarena - expeditiously exploited. Subjugating regional paramilitaries via systematic violence, the BFB institutionalized a draconian, totalitarian junta defined by relentless political purges, institutionalized subversion, revanchist indoctrination, and total economic militarization. In 1245, the regime empowered the Hazia Project - an unprecedented biological warfare initiative that synthesized hundreds of hyper-virulent pathogens. Geopolitical consolidation was further consolidated in 1247 through the establishment of the Compass, a bilateral strategic axis with Draviskas.
XIII. THE WAR OF RECLAMATION (1249–1250)
On 25 June 1249, Toutanglom and Draviskas launched coordinated offensive operations against Abern and Senas Tuath, leveraging asymmetric bioweapons deployment across key theaters:
Battle of Migmoran (Abern), 18 Oct – 3 Dec 1249: Toutanglom deploy of LUS-11, a fungal pathogen that systematically supplanted the central nervous system with hyphal networks, culminating in fatal cutaneous efflorescence.
Battle of Dunmhor (Senas Tuath), 28 Nov 1249 – 9 Jan 1250: Utilization of HE-22-HS, a viral strain inducing acute osteogenesis at micro-trauma sites, permanently ossifying tissue and encasing conscious victims in bone.
Ibar Sutea Operation, 19 Jan – 6 Feb 1250: A multi-agent saturation campaign executed deep behind adversary lines prior to infantry advances.
Battles of Ardmair and Migcloch (Feb – Mar 1250): Toutanglom using engineered epidemics collapsed defense logistics, securing rapid, unconditional capitulations from both Senas Tuath and Abern.
After the war, Toutanglom successfully reclaimed all irredentist territories and imposed crippling financial indemnities, ironically solidifying popular acquiescence to the BFB's tyrannical regime through violent success.
XIV. THE HAPPY IDIOT PLAGUE AND THE FALL OF BFB (1254–1256)
On 23 June 1254, a catastrophic biosafety failure originating in Mendialdeu herrialde released a neuropathogen triggering the "Happy Idiot Plague." The viral agent targeted the prefrontal cortex and amygdala while stimulating extreme, continuous surges of dopamine and endorphins. Afflicted individuals devolved to infantile cognitive functioning while remaining in an unalterable state of euphoria. The epidemic propagated rapidly across the nation by November, prompting a unilateral military intervention by Draviskas on 12 November and subjecting the population to two years of total martial quarantine and surveillance. Though neurologically stable, surviving hosts suffered permanent cognitive impairment. The outbreak precipitated the BFB junta's collapse as public trust disintegrated under incompetent containment and mounting - ultimately validated - allegations of state-sponsored human experimentation. On 12 April 1256, a bloodless coup d'état engineered by the reformist Ander Mendizabal precipitated the dissolution of the BFB. Under the subsequent Mendizabal regime, the state underwent sweeping philosophical reforms marked by the establishment of Thanato-Determinism - a paradigm that treated societal decay as an axiomatic truth and ultimately laid the foundation for the emergence of Terminal Cynicism.
In 1257, Premier Mendizabal formally proclaimed the imminent existential collapse of Toutanglom, instituting a regime of total socio-economic triage. The state unilaterally suspended all long-term civil infrastructure, reallocating public capital toward immediate agrarian output, systemic medical triage, and strict energy quotas. To minimize resource attrition, the government institutionalized state-sanctioned euthanasia while criminalizing salvationist discourse - classifying public expressions of hope as subversive disturbances that disrupted the state's doctrine of managed, orderly decay.
By 1264, as widespread skepticism regarding the vague eschatological prophecy threatened state cohesion, the administration weaponized a clandestine biological agent. Authorities deployed Birus-Mina - a pathogen characterized by severe arthralgia, debilitating pyrexia, and extreme physical exhaustion - across Oihanalde, Haranberri, and Eguzkialde herrialde. Though heralded by state propagandists as a supernatural harbinger of the end times, the outbreak exacerbated public cynicism, catalyzing the clandestine formation of the dissident movement Askatasun Loratua (Lora).
In May 1266, to decisively validate the apocryphal narrative, Ander Mendizabal orchestrated his own suicide, staging his death as a divine, apocalyptic extraction. This manufactured martyrdom successfully re-instilled an aura of dread, temporarily restoring public orthodoxy in the inevitable doom.
XV. PRELUDE TO THE FIRST GREAT WAR (1268–1272)
In February 1268, Toutanglom mandated a sweeping linguistic standardization, simplifying grammatical syntax and truncating vocabulary for administrative efficiency. Geopolitical volatility reignited on 11 March 1272 following a massive conflagration along the Toutanglom-Abern border; Abern attributed the incident to Toutanglom sabotage and formally initiated hostilities. The initial onslaught forced Toutanglom forces into a hasty retreat, necessitating a major strategic redeployment from northern defenses to the southern front. Capitalizing on Toutanglom's strategic overextension, Senas Tuath formally declared war on 14 April.
XVI. THE FIRST GREAT WAR OF ELDERVALE - TOUTANGLOM THEATRE (1272–1274)
In May 1272, Toutanglom inaugurated the Burdin Guda Campaign, dispersing unrefined bio-pathogens (UFR-12, MT-3, BT-DY) via autonomous avian vectors. Though the bio-assault precipitated acute tactical disarray and widespread panic among hostiles, Toutanglom lacked the operational capacity to capitalize on the disruption or secure decisive territorial gains.
Battle of Uhartemendi Island (Toutanglom), 7 May – 17 June 1272: Senas Tuath forces achieved a definitive triumph, leveraging the island as a strategic fulcrum to systematically annex adjacent insular holdings.
Battle of Itsasuharte Island (Toutanglom), 12–21 August 1272: A precipitate rout compelled Toutanglom's high command to pivot its grand strategy, establishing the Senas Tuath front as the war's decisive crucible.
Battle of Migstrath (Abern), 3 March – 8 May 1273: Toutanglom forces successfully seized the metropolitan center of Abern, but unrelenting asymmetric guerrilla resistance forced a total tactical retreat, reducing the Abern front to an operational impasse.
In July 1273, Toutanglom launched Operation Gaua, unleashing PH-X - a lethal neuro-parasitic spore capable of inducing neural necrosis while simulating and preserving internal cerebral electrical activity. While the bio-weapon catastrophically compromised Abern's combat capabilities, Toutanglom's subsequent deep penetration into enemy territory resulted in extreme operational attrition, transforming the campaign into a harrowing war of exhaustion.
The Archipelago Crucible (Toutanglom), October 1273 – March 1274: A protracted, high-intensity naval campaign spanning fifty Toutanglom islands, severely devastated by Senas Tuath's heavy missile bombardment. Marked by the famous doctrine "Urrats bat ere ez atzera!" ("Not even a single step back!"), the furnace of slaughter ended with Toutanglom retaining nominal control over most islands at the cost of crippling casualties and widespread psychological trauma.
Battle of Etxegoien (Toutanglom), 9 April – 4 June 1274: The conclusive defeat forced Toutanglom to sign the humiliating Inbhir Abhainn Treaty in the Senas Tuath capital on 7 June, ceding 60% of its island territories and severely curtailing its maritime commercial rights.
Hostilities with Abern persisted until November 1274, when total economic collapse and systemic societal disillusionment compelled the signing of the Akordio-Aberfoyle Treaty - a ruinous resolution that yielded zero territorial or political concessions for either belligerent.
XVII. THE TUMULTUOUS YEARS AND THE COALITION WARS (1275–1282)
On 11 June 1275, Head of State Nerea Agirre abdicated under mounting internal upheaval and external geopolitical pressure, yielding power to Maite Elorza. The state subsequently descended into the Tumultuous Years (1276–1277), marked by pervasive purges, summary executions, and widespread detentions targeting military and political figures deemed responsible for the previous war's disastrous outcome. Executed regime officials were publicly dismembered, their remains scattered across urban thoroughfares as a grotesque deterrent. By August 1279, the state institutionalized the Baseline Trials, subjecting state captives to coercive human experimentation with novel biological vectors.
On 7 November 1279, Hleidisland declared war on Toutanglom and Draviskas, precipitating the formal alignment of the three belligerents into the Coalition.
Battle of Saprissa River (Toutanglom), 12 June – 4 November 1280: Toutanglom forces mounted an agonizing defense, absorbing catastrophic casualties to effectively stymie Hleidisland's territorial advance. On 8 November 1280 Toutanglom signed the treaty of Mikila Triggwa due to exhausted by the defensive toll, the statecapitulated to Hleidisland's terms, ceding significant peripheral territories.
On 21 May 1281, Toutanglom was once again dragged into active hostilities against Hleidisland.
Battle of Itsasondo (Toutanglom), 30 September 1281 – 4 January 1282: In a desperate measure, Toutanglom deployed VR-12, a lethal biological agent inducing indolent tissue necrosis and black breath. Contrary to tactical expectations, the bio-chemical attack galvanized hostiles into a hyper-aggressive assault, accelerating their momentum.
The Sakramunt Stand (Toutanglom), February – June 1282: Invading forces penetrated deep into Toutanglom territory, reaching the strategic Sakramunt Mountain Range. Following four months of brutal defensive resistance and severe attrition, Hleidisland's offensive momentum finally ground to a halt.
Hostilities definitively ceased on 3 October 1282 following the systemic capitulation of all Coalition members. Toutanglom ratified the punitive Sigeric Treaty, agreeing to ruinous war reparations that effectively precipitated the immediate dissolution of the Coalition.
XVIII. SUPPRESSION AND REARMAMENT (1283–1291)
Following severe military setbacks, widespread anti-government insurrection erupted across the state, met by Supreme Leader Maite's unyielding authoritarian suppression. Between 14 May and 12 August 1283, state security apparatuses executed systematic purges, liquidating thousands of dissidents affiliated with Herri Frontea, Mendi Gorriak, Su eta Lurra, and complementary insurgent factions after compromised seditious networks were uncovered. Having forcibly re-established internal hegemony, the regime initiated the Mugiarazte Agindu Orokorra from 1285 to 1290 - a comprehensive totalitarian surveillance and rearmament campaign enforcing universal signal interception, raw material accounting, and forced civic logging. Concurrently, the state prioritized advanced bioweapons development, culminating in the construction of the Biologia Ikerketa Zentroa, which served as the operational command center for the nation's covert biological warfare program.
XIX. THE SECOND GREAT WAR OF ELDERVALE - TOUTANGLOM THEATRE (1291–1294)
Propelled by compounding geopolitical tensions and an irredentist desire to reclaim lost sovereign domains, Toutanglom, alongside Draviskas, officially entered a state of war with Hleidisland on October 23, 1291.
Battle of Larranaga (Former territory), 3 November – 12 December 1291: Toutanglom forces successfully recaptured the city, launching the broader Burdinezko Campaign aimed at total territorial restoration.
The Hairu-Vadi Counter-Offensive (January – April 1292): Following Hleidisland's outright rejection of Toutanglom's 5 January peace overture, hostile forces launched a massive counter-offensive that systematically pushed Toutanglom back to the Harri-Zuri Mountain Range by April.
On 30 April 1292 Senas Tuath and Abern simultaneously opened new fronts, plunging Toutanglom into a multi-theater war of survival.
Battle of Ibarportu Port (Toutanglom), 2–29 July 1292: A resolute defensive action neutralized Senas Tuath's strategic objective of a rapid, decisive victory.
Battle of Zabalbide (Toutanglom), 18 June – 13 September 1292: Toutanglom forces successfully blunted Hleidisland's aggressive Fraquistjan Offensive.
Battle of Elorriaga (Toutanglom), 2 March – 24 April 1293: Toutanglom halted the Riqisdrauta Offensive from Hleidisland, locking the region into a grueling, static stalemate.
Throughout 1293, occupied territories became the site of state-sanctioned atrocities targeting ethnic Tanglomi populations, most notably in Gundarvik and Brechthalla. Occupying Hleidisland forces systematically executed civilians using close-range weaponry, routinely inflicting ocular gouging, lingual excision, and post-mortem trophy mutilation - actions now recognized among the most horrific atrocities in modern Eldervale history.
Battle of Migcloch (Abern), 21 January – 11 March 1294: Toutanglom executed its final strategic offensive; despite seizing a key operational foothold, forces lacked the capacity to advance deeper into Abern.
The Senas Tuath ground front was pushed but later halted and stagnated by February 1294.
Between 1292 and 1294, Toutanglom deployed over fifty distinct bioweapons. Chief among these was ABGS-91-GTT, a mutagenic pathogen targeting cellular telomerase to induce retrograde telomeric deletion, precipitating catastrophic genetic stripping upon cell division.
Exhausted by repeated failed breakthroughs, Toutanglom acquiesced to the Pax of Seraphic in June 1294, ratifying the final treaty on 5 July 1294. The accord ended the war and fully restored Toutanglom's pre-First Great War borders. Despite suffering profound demographic and material ruin, the state declared ultimate victory for having endured and survived a simultaneous multi-front war of annihilation.
XX. POST-WAR RECOVERY AND THE MEMORIALS (1295–1300)
In 1295, the central government formally designated 20 June as a perpetual National Day of Remembrance to commemorate the victims of the 1293 genocidal atrocities. To codify this collective trauma into public history, state authorities inaugurated the dual Memorial Halls of the Victims of 1293 in both Gundarvik and Brechthalla in June 1297. These monumental sites served as enduring symbols of national resilience and solemn tributes to the victims of enemy occupation.
On 12 October 1300, Premier Maite Elorza succumbed to advanced breast cancer, ending a pivotal era in Toutanglom's political history. Though her legacy remained deeply polarizing - marred by totalitarian governance, draconian purges, and severe wartime miscalculations - she was ultimately venerated as one of the most paramount figures in Toutanglom statehood, having successfully safeguarded the nation from total annihilation throughout the crucible of the Second Great War.
Following Maite Elorza's death, the fragile social contract forged by wartime survival rapidly unraveled. Mass public unrest and violent protests erupted across major urban centers. Although the security apparatus ruthlessly suppressed these uprisings, the regime failed to quell the underlying discontent. This marked the inception of a severe political ideological rift: a decades-long period of deep civil alienation and systemic instability, where an increasingly militarized state faced a deeply alienated populace.
In August 1304, Toutanglom and Draviskas formally established The Compass - a multilateral coalition designed for cross-sectoral strategic cooperation and mutual defense against common adversaries. Later that year, Velbor acceded to the pact, solidifying the alliance's regional influence.
Achieving a major bio-engineering breakthrough in August 1310, Toutanglom synthesized a revolutionary bacterial culture capable of preserving organic food supplies intact for up to a decade, even under extreme environmental conditions.
To immortalize collective national trauma, Toutanglom officially inaugurated the dual Memorial Halls of the Victims of 1293 in Gundarvik and Brechthalla in June 1315. These monumental sites stood as enduring symbols of national resilience and solemn tributes to those lost during the enemy occupation.
XXI. THE SLEEP-WALKING PUPPETEERS - BULU-BALA OUTBREAK (1316–1326)
From June 1316 to November 1319, an inadvertent biosecurity breach leaked the BULU-BALA viral agent, inaugurating the sinister phenomenon known as the Sleep-Walking Puppeteers.
Uniquely calibrated to trigger exclusively during REM sleep, the pathogen induced somnambulistic states wherein afflicted individuals unconsciously executed anomalous, covert activities - ranging from the pathological hoarding of arbitrary items to the deliberate, sophisticated sabotage of critical municipal infrastructure. Upon awakening, host subjects suffered total retrograde amnesia regarding their nocturnal actions.
Because symptom manifestation was functionally imperceptible during waking hours, the state instituted draconian containment protocols, arbitrarily incarcerating vast swathes of the population in crude isolation cages based on mere suspicion. Although strategic intervention and biochemical countermeasures provided by Draviskas eventually eradicated the pathogen by late 1319, the crisis left an indelible psychological scar, plunging the populace and the regime into an era of pervasive, institutionalized hypnophobia.
In the wake of the BULU-BALA crisis, a state of pervasive existential paranoia and collective despair catalyzed the rapid emergence of Terminal Cynicism. This radical ideology swiftly metastasized across the populace, directly challenging the ruling regime's long-standing doctrine of Thanato-Determinism. Though both schools of thought shared fundamental fatalistic premises.
Plagued by systemic exhaustion and crippling civil alienation, the government structure proved wholly incapable of suppressing the mounting popular uprisings.
On 17 December 1320, following a decisive military pronunciamiento, Head of State Zorion Bengoetxea resigned after losing the vital support of both the armed forces and the security apparatus. Power was seized by Ametz Urkizu, who assumed control of Toutanglom, establishing his vanguard party, Gailur Azkena, as the supreme state authority.
Upon assuming power, Ametz Urkizu institutionalized Terminal Cynicism as core state doctrine, conditioning Toutanglom for an inevitable existential cataclysm under the official dogma of absolute impermanence. The state executed widespread strategic stockpiling of essential commodities while formally proscribing all utopian discourse - explicitly disavowing any state mandate toward citizen prosperity or psychological well-being.
Paradoxically, the 1320s catalyzed an unprecedented renaissance in Tanglomi arts. Spurred by state patronage to sublimate apocalyptic dread, avant-garde creators generated radical, highly acclaimed works that earned profound international critical veneration, establishing this epoch as the zenith of Tanglomi cultural expressiveness.
To ensure physical continuity through the anticipated apocalypse, Toutanglom inaugurated construction in November 1326 on Mendi Zokoa - a subterranean bunker complex engineered to safeguard state remnants and vital resources.
XXII. INCURSIONS, ANOMALIES, AND THE ABYSSAL DEEPS (1333–1339)
On 25 October 1333, an unauthorized maritime vessel from Senas Tuath berth at Faleriiia Island, precipitating an acute diplomatic impasse. Though ultimately attributed to coordination error, the transgression heightened regional geopolitical tensions.
By 1335, bilateral relations with Abern deteriorated following an eight-month series of anomalous frontier incursions. Local accounts reported towering, long-limbed entities roaming the border zone - accompanied by nocturnal vocalizations resembling laughter - despite Abern's steadfast disavowal of any presence.
From June 1338 to April 1339, Toutanglom executed a joint maritime campaign alongside Abern and Senas Tuath to eradicate Mokoro, a colossal, cephalopod-like mega-fauna imperiling critical oceanic corridors. Though the entity was neutralized, Toutanglom's hydro-acoustic arrays subsequently registered persistent, unidentified acoustic signatures echoing from the abyssal trenches.
XXIII. THE ARCHITECTURE OF FINALITY (1345–1360)
In 1345, the government promulgated the Hondamendia Osteko Iraunkortasuna - a definitive post-collapse framework coupled with mandatory civil drills to condition the populace for impending oblivion.
Prior to 1349, Toutanglom ironically attained the status of a Pangaea-Flourish State, reaching the apex of its technical, industrial, and societal development. By March 1352, the state launched a nationwide initiative inviting citizens to compose epistles to their future selves. Profoundly melancholic, these letters served as solemn, irrevocable valedictions addressed to an absolute post-existential void.
By 1355, the regime formally established a dedicated treasury earmarked solely for the nation's own dissolution, directing capital toward the creation of an indelible, definitive archive. By 1360, subterranean stockpiles within the Mendi Zokoa complex reached maximum capacity. Simultaneously, a national census was conducted to select those designated for subterranean retreat; the vast majority voluntarily elected to remain above ground and await the inevitable.
XXIV. THE LAST DECADE AND THE VOID'S THRESHOLD (1363–1375)
On 12 September 1363, Marrukis Staiis Pompoiis assumed office as elected Head of State, solemnly declaring himself in his inaugural address to be, in all likelihood, the ultimate leader of Toutanglom.
In 1365, the administration enacted its terminal decennial directive. The state mothballed all ancillary public works to focus entirely on sustaining the extant generation, while fortifying subterranean sanctuaries for those destined for the vaults.
As of 23 October 1375, state apparatuses broadcast an emergency declaration asserting that Toutanglom was mobilizing for an imminent conflict. The transmission featured phantasmagoric, grotesque imagery depicting enemy forces decaying from disease - a broadcast that acquired iconic, absurd notoriety among the populace. By 31 December 1375, across every remaining broadcast channel and media platform, the government transmitted its final valediction to its entire citizenry.
The state sustained peak operational readiness until the inevitable outbreak of the Third Great War of Eldervale.
Idealology: Terminal Cynicism
Terminal Cynicism is a prolonged political ideology that takes as its only clarity the simple, hollow fact that everything will end. To build anything with the expectation of permanence, it insists, is the height of arrogance and stupidity, and so the government promises nothing. Every policy flows from the quiet acceptance of the coming ruin, and society stratifies itself not by wealth or virtue but by how deeply one has accepted the approaching doom, and how skillfully one navigates the small, inevitable betrayals that precede it. Beauty, in this worldview, dwells only in tragedies, in ruins, in dissonance and unresolved chords that never find peace. Betrayal is not a sin; every promise ever made was only a lie waiting to be exposed by time or circumstance. To beg for mercy after a betrayal, to weep for forgiveness, is blasphemy - one must simply accept the consequences without pleading. The end of the world is not feared; it is anticipated with exhausted gratitude. The only meaningful goal left in a doomed world is to outlast - simply to be the last thing standing when everything else has already fallen. Trust no one. Expect nothing. Be surprised by nothing. Hope is dismissed as a delusion, the anesthetic numbness that keeps people from seeing clearly; instead, Terminal Cynicism offers a colder comfort: that nothing matters. And in that absolute meaninglessness, there is a perverse liberty - if nothing matters, then one is free to face the doom with whatever grim dignity one can muster, even as an empty thing, a hollow vessel waiting for the dark. Its deepest doctrine reserves itself for the ultimate act of cosmic betrayal: the abandonment by any conceivable higher power. If gods exist, they created a world of suffering, gave their creations the capacity to love and trust, and then watched in silence as those creations tore each other apart. This is the Original Betrayal. No one is coming to save humanity. No one ever was. And in the end, when all have died, one will be proven correct in their own suspicions - and that thin, bitter correctness will be the only thing left.
