Kyvan Pact

A trinity of eastern nations, founded to maintain the legacy of the great conquest.

History
The collapse of the Angelfili cult saw a dramatic consolidation of the numerous Pagan and Oric Heretics into several waves of the great conquest. While remnants of this holy war touched the shores of every known human civilization, the vast majority of the fighting took place in a span of a century in Arquell and Wushu.

In concept, the Kyvan Pact is the modernized face of this intercultural coalition, capitalizing on historical nostalgia and glorifications of each aspect of the Pact. This facade is used by the ruling class to instill a sense of duty in their socially backward society, especially among the armed ranks of the Pact.

While lacking any real motivation to experiment with democracy or inalienable rights, the Kyvan pact has never had limitations of the roles of Eidon in their society; though this has not alleviated the homogenous nature of their largest population centers.



Economy
While the means of production have changed dramaticaly, the economic system of the Kyvan pact remains nearly unchanged since the Feudal days of the Kingdom ages. Peasants live on fields, rarely seeing a coin in favor of direct tribute to landlords and bartering in a mostly cottage industry. Peasants remain the backbone of the Kyvan export market, but the rise of Pal'Nyk forges and factories has seen an exponential growth in machined goods and heavy industrial tools. This development has created a new urbanized class that exists to tirelesly maintain the countless mechanisms and systems that this new econemy relies on, and this may very well be the last days of the Feudal ways; with mechanized agriculture leading the way in efficency and innovation.

Demographics
The Pereginus within Kyv are of similar stock to the eastern Auquell descent. Other than a pattern of thicker hair and preference for beards, these folks can fit in with members of the League and Pereginus. There are many differing aspects of Kyvmen, but they are all considered to be Uzurks. The major populations of Uzurks are either of the Pal'Nyk or Vershnyk culture, though the socially isolated Dzek are Rostemic in faith and have been at odd with the other Uzurks for centuries. Dzek, while a small percentage of the total Kyvan peoples, have several miltary units within the Kyvan military. These units of Dzeks are well known amonst the other forces, a reputation gained from several bloody victories and as many rebellions.

Culture
Historically, the semi-nomadic Vershnyk dominated the Pact. Yet the long term investments made in agriculture and industrialization gave the Pal’Nyk the ability to barter power for military materials and technologies.

Strategy
Just like their culture, Kyvan Pact armies are a combined effort of two economies and leaderships. The Pal'Nyk rapidly produce vehicles and weapons to arm an otherwise ineffective conscript army, using the raw power of numbers to crush their enemies. Motorized and arnoured forces are the best way to use a Pal'Nyk force, allowing them to quickly deploy heavy support to cover the waves of cheap infantry. Vershnyk forces are quite different, relying on their beasts of burden and specialized infantry to quickly deploy and attack. Vershnyk arms and tactics are very much outdated, so it is best to use them as support or specialists for more conventional Pal'Nyk forces.
