The Planetary System of Syelsumoia is a constitutional monarchy planet consisting of five continents and a rule over smaller extraplanetary territories. It is the only planet within its solar system to be technologically proficient, and at the same time, experienced with utilizing magical abilities of its people within its military, as well as in the production of commercial items. The official rise of Syelsumoia's monarchic and imperial government is unknown, but it is widely believed that they were both established during the Frozen Era of the world's history. Modern Syelsumoia is recognized as the hub world of the Rosean Empire, as well as a notable interstellar power.

Geography

Continents

Metsamaa

Metsamaa, also referred to as the cradle of the woodlands, is a continent located along the farthest north (though not quite reaching the north pole), known for its seasonal variety and historic importance--and the fact that it is the main provider of the world's basic production infrastructure. Most of the continent is dominated by dense forests, but contains wetlands along the warmer south. It is also considered to be the true hub of the Rosean Empire, as aside from having a metropolitan presence, it is also the continent housing the Celestial Tower and the Rosean Palace. Metsamma's population is known for their silk trade and are esteemed as the creators of highly-valuable scarves in the world.

Silänteen

Silänteen is the third largest metropolitan region in the world, and the only continent that rests between all four frontiers. Most of its seasons revolve from summer to autumn, making it one of the only places in the planet that is not completely engulfed by Malkarrys' influence. Silänteen's marshes and hill ranges house the remaining population of various species of reptiles usually found in both hemispheres of the world. It is also referred as the Marxus Point and, second only to Croitia, is a region of extranormal activity originating from Deskarta. Due to this, Silänteen is occupied with floating mountains and chasms that harmonize with [[Mana in strangely unusual ways.

Aurinkeht

Aurinkeht is an industrial continent, with famous volcanic chains spread through the land. Though once home of the empire's independent nation, Auran, it is now a culturally-centric continent, home to Northern Syelsumoia's natives. The Kartaiervo Volcano can be found in Aurinkeht, which is the only volcanic landmark in the world deemed to be sacred.

Kartaiera

Kartaiera is part of the Southern Frontier and the only continent that is geographically shares land with the Northern Frontier. It is unique in various forms: ranging from weather, wildlife, and including ancient history. The continent houses most of the Trinity Ruins and, more importantly, the Ketko Manacle which maintains the continent's abundant density of Mana and covers Kartaiera in a self-sustaining barrier that functions as a large-scale greenhouse to counteract Malkarry's influence. It houses the highest percentage of immigrants from the rest of the world, namely from Aurinkeht, and it is also the only continent in the world in which people can be born with special abilities due to the Ketko Manacle.

Kartaiera's northernmost tip is relatively hot and covered in savannas due to it position relative to the Equator, with its geography smoothly transitioning into forested areas and mountain ranges, with the southernmost region being nothing but an expansive tundra. Kartaiera was once part of Croitia over 783 years ago.

Croitia

Croitia is for the most part the polar continent of Syelsumoia: being completely dominated by a harsh, cold climate akin to year-round winter. It is abundant in religious and ancient history, said to be the original land where all beings in the world were created. Though a number of wars have occurred in Croitia, these have led to the eventual expansion and complete settlement of the rest of Syelsumoia. The original language, Croitian, also originated there. Croitia is considered the spiritual center of Syelsumoia, being a land with heavy extranormal activity often attributed to deities. A considerable amount of manacles stationed throughout the continent tie it with the Hyphur Plane--this has caused a majority of Croitia's landmass to be harmlessly isolated from the rest of the world.

The Plains of Knowledge, a polar region dominated by Hyphuras, is the source of a vast majority of Spirit Energy for them; most beings settling within it are Nocturnes and the aforementioned Hyphuras, who guard and protect the region. Mythologically, Croitia is said to be the prison where Malkarrys is kept in and the only pathway in the material world leading to both the Netherworld and Null-Void Estancias. Mount Karryshouma can be found here, which is the only volcanic landmark in the world deemed to be sacred.

Culture

Language

Ever since recordable time, Syelsumoia has always had an everlasting language that is still popular in modern times, Croitian. This language is considered the Mother Tongue of Syelsumoia and the base for other branches of language like Grenian and Helialen-Celafrite. In both the Northern Frontier and the Southern Frontier, Croitian is widely spoken but at the same time the language itself is divided in two forms, Karra and Vespaht.

Karra Croitian, or Classical Croitian is a variant of Croitian that is spoken mostly by Northern Frontier citizens where their civilizations are notably more advanced than their Southern kin. Karra is ironically the "original" Croitian, but is often a rarely spoken and written down form in the south.

Vespaht Croitian, or Vulgar Croitian is the second and more modern variant of Croitian mostly spoken by the common people; notably in the Southern Frontier.

Technology

Syelsumoii technology is by far the most advanced of its young solar system. They have long achieved space travel and invented technology that directly works along with the powers most inhabitants poses. The planet itself is surrounded by advanced weaponry and defense forged by the greatest minds to ever come out of the empire, which has been proven almost impossible to breach.

Modern conveniences for the citizens of this planet are considerably well. Most advanced technology the planet produces quarterly never make it out to the public and remain within the military and scientific branches, only letting a fraction of it to reach the hands of the every day Syelsumoii man or woman. In present time they are able to enjoy instant communication via SpecScape; a series of bionic eye lens that allows one to read messages, access public databases, and even monitor their own health. Other things would include nanomachinery and other futuristic-like things.

Theology

Legends and accounts from various witnesses through the Everlasting Tablets have acknowledged two gods as the supposed creators of the planet, Deskarta and Malkarrys. The name Deskarta stems from an old draconic tongue, meaning "warm light", while the name Malkarrys means "dark dream." Unlike other worlds where the threads of life have enabled habitation upon an uninhabited rock, Deskarta and Malkarrys are believed to have crafted the planet out of an unknown source. Most popular theories believe the source was from the immensely strong energy the two gods have surging through their very bodies.

Deskarta is considered the core of the planet, creating and maintaining half the life of the beings, and the one responsible for distributing warmth throughout the world in respective seasons. Whereas Malkarrys is considered the guardian of spirits, maintaining the other half of life for the beings, and in charge of reincarnating the Syelsumoii inhabitants and overlooking the winter and fall seasons. Both gods worked in peace for many millennia until the God of Death, Rion(or known there as Zyernosi) provoked them into a devastating battle for the planet. Unknown to them, Rion only did that to implement population control as that is his job. During this time, many believe this cataclysmic battle is what wiped out more than half of Syelsumoia's population. Because of that, Edge Reapers were summoned on behalf of the Goddess of Life to stop the tremendous loss of life. As a result, both gods were sealed within two entirely separate locations; Deskarta within the core of the planet, and Malkarrys within the Hyphur Plane. A prison within the material world and the immaterial world.

However, their prisons were not enough to quell the battle. Although the two mighty deities were sealed, their enclosure was weak. After 270 million years, Deskarta was the first to break free of his prison, ultimately triggering an effect that allowed Malkarrys's prison seal to weaken further. With this opportunity at hand, Malkarrys manifested a proxy made entirely from a fragment of his soul and energy, Nosii; Karros, a Psydrake. In response, Deskarta himself converted his form into a human in order to hunt the proxy. However, not long after doing so, Edge Reapers hunted down the human deity to seal him up once more. Worried about the proxy made by Malkarrys to set his master free and to claim the planet in his name, Deskarta chose a female within a human tribe to bear his sons in hopes that they may purge Karros and fortify Malkarrys's seal. After a series of events and a war, Deskarta's son, Valkoinen, defeated Karros and sealed his spirit within a half of his once-divine blade, thus thwarting Malkarrys's plans and ultimately leading to a new era of peace and advancement which will eventually crumble once the two deities re-emerge and resume their battle.

It is said that because of Malkarrys's seal weakening, the planet grows colder by the year due to his incredible amount of energy leaking through to the material world.

Politics

Syelsumoia is managed by The Imperial Circle led by the Rosean Emperor or Empress from the Roseasilmillaan family. Although there is a heavy presence of royal influence in the matters of the general well-being, The Imperial Circle is split up into three divisions that dedicate time to its respective citizens and dictate certain aspects of the Syelsumoi motherworld and its empire.

The Imperial Circle consists of The Chairmen of Countries, or the local politicians that manage each individual country. The House of Continental Ministers, who overlook the Chairmen of Countries and manage Continent-Wide relations and laws. And finally the Circle of Imperial Primes, who overlook other territories of the empire and even have a fair amount of power over planets under Syelsumoia's command. Although these three sub-divisions of The Imperial Circle manage law making and other crucial things, it is always up to the Emperor to decide over relations and have the last word about proposed changes to the government and it's people. In recent times this form of government began to fail due to each sub-division of The Imperial Circle trying to thwart each others propositions and making it relatively difficult to pass Imperial Laws because of constant arguing.

There is also a Kingdom Judicial Branch who is a mediator between The Imperial Circle and the Emperor. If neither of the both sides cannot come to an agreement or one of them challenges an already established law, any propositions are usually taken to the Kingdom Judiciary for the final verdict.
