+Attnam, the Holy City of Valpuri
+--------------------------------
+
+Geographical information
+
+Attnam is a relatively small city located in a thick evergreen forest called Pertturia,
+where it acts as a capitol of the Holy Empire of Perttuania, that in turn controls all
+of the Isle of Perttuera and is the world's 324th biggest sovereign state. The city is
+physically quite isolated from the rest of the world, but the citizens don't mind it
+all since almost all of them have high speed net connections. The oceanic coast is quite
+near the border of the forest, however, and pilgrims wandering to the Cathedral and
+traders delivering goods, luxury items and dolphin food for the clergy class are not
+entirely uncommon in Attnam.
+
+Nature
+
+Nature is close in everyday life of Attnam, because civilization ends completely no
+further than at the city gate (if it has ever even begun) and wilderness takes over.
+The city guards are obligated to keep the area inside the city wall safe, but outside
+wolves, lynxes and wild bears may roam freely. Settlement of goblins, ogres and mutant
+school food mushrooms are also common. Even Enner Beasts have been heard wailing in
+the darkness that covers the forest, but they, of course, are killed with magic
+missiles if they ever wander closer than 500 yards to the city, in order to prevent
+structural damage caused in the city.
+
+Sources of livelihood
+
+The citizens live mostly by hunting bears and such from the forest and whittling
+sacred-looking items from wood that foreigners that seek truth and Valpuri's blessing
+from Attnam buy eagerly as holy relics. The public expenditures of the state, e.g.
+salaries of �berpriestial elite guards, cost of the enormous amounts of sacramental
+Coke needed in the Cathedral and the price of replenishing Perttu's slave staff and
+harem monthly, are funded almost entirely by a state-owned valpurium mine located in
+the tundra section of Perttuera.
+
+Government
+
+Attnam and the Empire of Perttuania are officially ruled by Valpuri the Great Frog and
+the King of Gods, but since He is quite often absent when decision are made, His Most
+Pious �berpriest acts as a messenger who delivers His orders to mortal men from godly
+planes. The �berpriest retains his position for his entire lifetime. When he dies, the
+next leader is chosen immediately by the Valpuristic Conclave of High Priests, and is
+almost always the one who killed the last �berpriest (although there seem to be some
+other, not so popularily known requirements for this crowning).
+
+History
+
+The former headquarters of the Empire were located up in the tundra area of Perttuera
+but were eaten by a swarm of angry polar bears in 913 Anno Valpurus. Attnam was founded
+in the next year, and, as can be well guessed by looking the map, its place was decided
+randomly by choosing the coordinates by dice-throwing.
+
+The first building to rise in Attnam was the Cathedral, which yet today looms over the
+city as a symbol of Valpuri's might. The �berpriest of that day used much of his mighty
+magical abilities to aid the building process and to protect it from the attacks of
+wildeebeasts. So much that after the Cathedral and the city wall were finally up, he
+was easily beaten in duel by Perttu, the nowaday �berpriest. Perttu moved to the
+Cathedral immediately and started his reign by naming the country and all important
+landmarks (Attnam was not considered as such) inside its borders after himself. And
+during the following decades under his rule, Attnam has gradually become what it is
+today.

+\fs20\lang2057\langfe1035\langnp2057\insrsid13858233\charrsid13858233 
+\par 
+\par    Rather difficult indeed is to converse about the beginning, since the Time itself is a product of the Creation. Only Valpuri knows for sure, and yet to this day he has not revealed all of the Great Mystery, even to other gods. 
+It is said that during the
+ First Age the Duchal Library of Omaktos contained the most detailed description of these events and the elven folk of Artami long singed the Song of Fate itself, but both took their secrets with them during their fall after the Incursion. 
+This story is mo
+stly based on researches of Suetomit Sutsac, High Priest of Otoul'iv Ik-Omit and the current Grand Duke of the rebuild Omaktos, and much of it has been verified also by Surtep Eanar Sidnarg Sumixam Xefitnop, High Priest of the Great Frog Himself and the r
+uler of the Empire of Attnam.
+\par    One thing is sure: In the beginning, there was Valpuri. Valpuri, the Creator and the Father of the Elder Gods. But He was, and is, actually much more than His physical form we all know. It is only one of His countless manife
+stations. Sutsac theorises that it is even possible that this physical form was His own creation on the beginning of the First Day. More important, in his opinion, is His manifestation as the Void, also and better known as the Sea of Eternity. 
+This he says to be the true form of the Great Frog. The Sea is boundless unlike any physical element and before the Awakening contained nothing, absolutely nothing. 
+But, somehow, someway, It became sentient and became He. And this event gave birth to time, and the First Day began.
+\par    After the Awakening Valpuri looked around and saw only the nothingness of the Void. But, He wanted something other than nothing to become existent, because... Why? This is one of the biggest questionmarks on the Great Mystery. Sutsac canno
+t answer this, nor does any other High Priest. All we can give are guesses; Since nothingness is quite boring, perhaps it was just for fun? But this supposes Valpuri would think like a man, lusting for enjoyment, and we can't trust that. 
+Perhaps He had a mind of an artist like Neno Sokokin, only creating because of the deligth of creation? Better guess, but still supposes Valpuri to think with a mind of a lesser being, which is not appropriate. 
+Sutsac trusts there is some greater meaning behind this, some yet not unraveled and perhaps never understandable to any lifeform lesser than the Great Frog Himself.
+\par    By the way, some people simply ignore this question, saying why to wonder about such, if Valpuri wouldn't have created anything, there would not be us to wonder why we weren't existent!
+\par    Even if the reason is yet to this day a complete mystery, the result is better known: The Elder Gods, the Okkammas and the Nenimhi, who were to shape the World. Okkammas, the Frog Gods, were the first to be born, during the Initial Day. 
+Each one He decided a task, layed an egg, helped it to hatch and gave the young deity a unique mind and soul, with fundamental tasks on the World. Over time, their minds have been altered, but this list shows what they were at first:
+\par 
+\par    The first Child born was Okkuu'lu T'trep, God of Life, 1/3 days after the Awakening.
+\par    The second was Otoul'iv Ik-Omit, God of Knowledge, 2/3 days after the Awakening.
+\par    The third was Okrepatri Vakk'uut, God of Change, at the end of the First Day after the Awakening.
+\par 
+\par    Next day he gave birth to the Nenimhi, the man-like gods. No one knows why he so drastically changed the nature and outlook of the gods between the first two days, perhaps because the Okkammas also achieved sentience during this day, and
+ wanted to have their mark on the work also. 
+Nonetheless while the Okkammas looked and thinked more like Valpuri, the Nenimhi were more like mankind mortals, humans, elves, dwarves and such of the nowaday world, and completed tasks of lesser value, but more specialized than the Okkammas. 
+As we know, this two-tree division of gods does not apply anymore, since the Chaos has altered everyone more or less (for example, a vigilant reader may find Vakk'uut's profession quite a bit different and Senner's complete
+ly contrarian compared to what they are today).
+\par    The Nenimhi were:
+\par 
+\par    Nenitra Akirali, God of Machines, born 1 1/3 days after the Awakening.
+\par    Nenaria Si'kkieh, God of Money, born 1 2/3 days after the Awakening (twin of Senner).
+\par    Nenaria Senner, Goddess of Beauty, born 1 2/3 days after the Awakening (twin of Si'kkieh).
+\par    Neno Sokokin, Goddess of Music, born at the end of the Second day after the Awakening (twin of T'lepasev).
+\par    Neno T'lepasev, Goddess of Imagination, born at the end of the Second day after the Awakening (twin of Sokokin).
+\par 
+\par    It is said T'trep had great influence on the creation of Senner (since he already planned how the mortals would breed) and also on lesser degree to the Neno sisters since their tasks were advantageous for a happy life. 
+However he actually opposed the creation of Akirali and Si'kkieh for he foresaw they were not good for nature.
+\par    Ik-Omit influenced the making of Akirali (no need to say why), Sokokin (music is mathemacy, and mathemacy is science) and T'lepasev (source of inventions come from an imaginative mind) and taught them many things in their initial hours. 
+At first, Si'kkieh he didn't, for he saw not how he could help the goals of science, until this cunning young one wired up promises of future sponsoration, and gained what knowledge he needed. 
+Senner was the only one left without proper teaching, and became the least intelligent. Only thing she truly learnt was Sokokin's notes, for the Neno goddess needed a singer for her brilliant melodies. And how lovely
+ was Senner's voice those days... And how sad, that today it is forever lost.
+\par    Vakk'uut gave much ideas to Akirali, for machines must move and their state change in order to work, the quicker it happens the better. Si'kkieh he gave the thougth of circula
+ting economy, which allowed those who wanted to collect as much they wanted, and those who didn't to spend as much as they could. T'lepasev he gave her everchanging mind which always opens paths to new portraits of imaginative events. 
+Particulary he enjoyed the songs of Sokokin, and made even some of that kind himself, for speed and changing are major parts of music.
+\par    Thus were the Eigth Elder Gods alive, the three Okkammas and the five Nenimhi, after the First Two Days of Creation.

+\par }{\fs20\lang2057\langfe1035\langnp2057\insrsid13858233\charrsid13858233 
+\par    And the First Gods had been born and swimmed in the Sea of Eternity. The Great Task of Building the World was to begin. At first, T'lepasev imagined the Earth how it would be once completed. 
+She saw the mountains, rivers, birds of the sky, the sentient races that would dominate the lands, events that would shape the destiny of nations. 
+Since physical writable surfaces did not yet exist, she dictated her dream to Sokokin, whom which composed it as a song, the most eternal of all forms of information. And at the e
+vening of the Third Day Senner was ready to sing the Song of Fate to the other Elders and the Great Frog Himself. And all they noded to the Neno as a sign of acceptance. And the Plan was complete.
+\par    In the beginning of the Fourth Day Otoul'iv wrote the Laws of Physics which would determine the ways of energy's and it's many forms' behavior. 
+It is said, especially on the earlier ages, that there is virtually an infinite amount of these Laws, just so that the mortal could never unravel every of them. 
+This world is complex indeed; many of the Laws we all know well, like the Law of Gravity or the Law of Friction, some are abstracter and needed only in very special occasions, like the Law of Relativity or the Law of Thermodynamics. 
+But as we speak with Suetomit about this, he shakes his head and shows his discustion towards this old-fashioned and worn-out set of theories. Today among the top-ranking scientific circles of Omaktos there is no true belief of
+ a law collection like this, but of one Universal Law, from which all others are derived from, and continuous effort is made for it's final discovery. Whatever the truth, it wasn't an easy job for Ik-Omit.
+\par    And in the evening of the Fourth Day Valpuri th
+e Great Frog casted the Spell of Creation, the most suberb magical act of all of Time, and summoned the Law(s) into existence, to rule upon the World, to which he allocated a space from the Void, a flat cylinder, said to be 4242 miles wide and 256 miles i
+n height, and placed it above His own Back, where it now resides. It is said the latter was done for otherwise "the Earth would sink into the Sea", whatever that would mean.}{\fs20\lang2057\langfe1035\langnp2057\insrsid13858233

+Long time ago, Dulcis created the hedgehogs, at first just for fun. At these times they were what they seem, cute and harmless. Soon people began to worship these critters in the temples of Dulcis and it became the sacred animal of its creator.
+
+Then the Great Divine War broke up and many things changed. In the later stages of the war, the followers of Scabies, the goddess of mutations and disease, altered a single hedgehog by the foulest of magic. This change was dramatic; the helpless, innocent creature was turned into a fierce menace which attacked everything it saw but for its own kin. Then the monstrous hedgehog disappeared and the followers of Dulcis rejoiced.
+
+Few years later, the War was over and the newly created Attnamese Empire brought order where there was none before. However, all the people slowly realised the hedgehogs were different now. The old and cute ones were gone, crowded out by the fierce spawn of the first dire hedgehod. Followers of Dulcis noticed this but were unable to prevent their sacred animal from turning into a horrible beast and many worshippers perished in their attempt to break the curse and bring back the holy hedgehogs. This all led to great hunts where brave men attacked the nesting grounds of the hedgehogs, with numerous casualties on both sides.
+
+At the present, hedgehogs have gotten rare and have taken residence in small caves and underground places. They are almost never met outsides any more, where they brought joy into the hearts of men once.
