While having its own, unique and very diverse culture, Kildare sees itself as an integral part of the Imperial Republic.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Government==<br /> ===Ducal History===<br /> *''See [[Dutch]] of Kildare for a list of Dukes.''<br /> The Kildarian government has always been, and still is, based on a feudal society. The Dutchy of Kildare is ruled by a Dutch (the title for the Duke), which is de jure the highest ruler within Kildare (with exception of the Kaiser, of course). De facto the power of the ruler is quite fragmented if nobles want to resist new decrees or decisions from the Dutch.<br /> <br /> The [[Seanad]], existing of the Kildarian nobility, has a veto power (which is almost never used) and helps the Dutch with his decisions.<br /> <br /> The current [[Dutch]] (title of the Kildarian Leaders) is [[Andreas the Wise]].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Culture==<br /> [[Image:Lord Kildare Bull.jpg|right|thumb|We just love active people in our Dutchy.]]<br /> Kildare has a rich and diverse culture. Primarily it revolves around three areas - history (including Apollo history), magic, and war. The original Dukes were very warlike, as has been Duke Jonas. Magic pervades the land, from the dragons in Kitanus Fields to the ends in Old Hallucination. Finally, Kildare is the land with the greatest love of history - both the Apollo history of those that held the lands before them, and including the Temple to [[Sakat]], Squid God of Time and patron god of Historians. Some regions, like the once-Barony of [[Antya]] were somewhat different from the rest of the Dutchy. Even with these differences between the several counties and Baronies their is a strong national Kildarian feeling, a Kildarian will always be proud on his Dutchy, whether it is recognised by the Imperial Government or not. <br /> And even rebelling citizens are rebelling because they think that's the best for the Dutchy (nothing better than a nice civil war).<br /> <br /> The [[MagiGARP]]s and [[Lord Kildare Bull]] (twin brother of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bull John Bull]) are some of the symbols of the region. Kildare, more specifically Kitanus Field, is home of [[Lumina]], mother of Malarbor.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Gong Li Rebellion==<br /> [[Image:Meeting of Kildarian knights.jpg|thumb|left|Meeting between the Kildarians knights and Dutch Jonas.]]<br /> The Great Kildarian Civil War or better known as the [[Gong Li Rebellion]], which began in 3281 ASC, is known as a major civil war between Dutch Jonas Windsor and Baron Andreas the Wise, who refused to give Gong Li away. It marked the beginning of a cultural renaissance in Kildare and included the annexation of Audentior and Apollo City as part of Shireroth and Kildare. It was annexed by the Dutch during a truce, which gave him the opportunity to focus his troops on the so-called ''Holy Lands'').<br /> It was also a time of much cultural development: stories and even an attempt to make a RPG game, which was however never finished.<br /> <br /> After the civil war, which ended in 3428 ASC, Kildare had become an important and stable Duchy, well-known across the Shirerithian land.<br /> <br /> ==Transport==<br /> Kildarian transportation is managed by the transportation company [[Kildfare]].<br /> <br /> ==Baronies==<br /> Through historically the baronies have changed, before the [[Imperial Reclamation]] there were four baronies within Kildare.<br /> [[Image:Kildare4.PNG]]<br /> <br /> *[[Cla'Udi]] was the Baron of [[Atterock]]<br /> *[[Gareth Arthur]] was the Baron of [[Lumina's Light]]<br /> *[[Jonas]] was Baron / Senechal of [[Sermolot]]<br /> *[[William Payne]] was Baron of the [[Barony of Hallucination]]<br /> <br /> ==Fictional History of Kildare==<br /> <br /> All dates are in [[ASC]], with b before the number indicating a date before 0 ASC.<br /> <br /> === The Apollonian Tribes ===<br /> ''??? bASC - ??? bASC''<br /> <br /> === Foundations of Apollonia ===<br /> ''??? bASC - ??? bASC''<br /> <br /> <br /> === The Apollo Cavern Age ===<br /> ''8927 bASC - 4022 bASC''<br /> <br /> * b8927 - Aka'Kas Ran'Tar finishes his chronicles of the Micron people, including the knowledge of magic.

More and more immigrants seek their hail in the Audente lands and are used as cheap labour forces.<br /> <br /> * b7373 - The Tower of Airosamente is finished.

They realize that the provinces have advanced far past the Audentior mainland in terms of technology. As well, magic has become more difficult to use over the ages, up to the point where it simply was more efficient to explore technology further, rather than magic. Many wish to see an independent Blackrock country once again. Unrest in Blackrock begins and spreads throught the region.<br /> <br /> * b194 - A serious riot occurs in the Blackrock city of Booterstown as the residents demand provincial rights.

The other islands crash down as well in a coordinated effort by Shireroth. Whatever survivors there were in Jasonia are exiled to Tapfer and found a new city there named New Jasonia.<br /> <br /> === The Lost Age ===<br /> ??? ASC - c.2850 ASC<br /> <br /> For a long period of Kildare's history all records have been lost. Some fear a disease that historians were particularly susceptible to, and others the burning of the Halucigrad Library. Whatever the reason, for now, we have no idea what happened in this period. In this time, Kildare's land became what it is today. It also witnessed the decline of Antica.<br /> <br /> ===The Dark Age ===<br /> ''c.2580 ASC - 3004ASC''<br /> <br /> * c. 2580 - A plauge, starting in the Raynor Isles, begins to spread.<br /> <br /> *2587 - Key historical texts are taken from surrounding counties to the Island of Melangia for safe keeping.<br /> <br /> * 2590 - Plauge has spread to the western half of Kildare.

Much technology is reverted to basic agriculture.<br /> <br /> * c.2650 - Melangian Seers gain dominance over local populace. A Saviour from the North is predicted.<br /> <br /> * c.2700 - Depression is over, production begins to pick up again.

From now on Kildarian Dutches (Dukes) needs to be crowned in this city before they can actually rule. This makes the city strategical very important.<br /> <br /> * 3352 - Crusade to the ''Holy Lands'' ([[Apollo City]] and surrounding territories). Creation of the County of [[Audentior]] as part of the Barony of [[Antya]].<br /> <br /> * 3428 ASC - After more then 400 years ruling the nation, Dutch [[Jonas I]] steps down and hand over the power to baron Andreas the Wise, who accepts and becomes [[Andreas I]].<br /> <br /> * 3524 ASC - Dutch [[Andreas I]] sells his title to [[Shyriath]], who becomes the new Dutch.<br /> <br /> * 3585 ASC - The Barony of [[Antya]] is dissolved and replaced by the [[Baronial Empire of Sermolot]].<br /> <br /> * ...<br /> <br /> === House Era ===<br /> * 3817 ASC - The construction of the [[Zygus Qamil]], a defensive line to protect the eastern borders of Kildare, begins.<br /> * 3880 ASC - Kaiser [[Mors VI]] reclaims most of Kildare's counties via [[Imperial Decree #444]]. House Kildare forms, led by Duke [[Jonas II]].<br /> * 4022 ASC - The construction of the Zygus Qamil ends. Jonas does a proposal to create a standing army which is directly loyal to the Dutchy and could guard the borders: the [[Kildarian Defence Forces]].<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> *[http://subdivisions.shireroth.org/kildare/ Website]<br /> *[http://shireroth.kuroshiro.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=31 Forum]<br /> <br /> [[category:Fictional History]]<br /> [[category:Duchies]]<br /> [[category:Kildare]]</div>

<p>Cj miller: /* Kaisers of the Fifth Era */</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. <br /> Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which<br /> they belonged. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Kaisers of Shireroth==<br /> <br /> '''Bold''' text is used to denote a ruling [[Steward]];&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''italics'' are used to denote a Kaiseress.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A period without either a Kaiser or a Steward is marked by &quot;(Landsraad)&quot;, as the [[Landsraad]] was by that point the highest remaining governing body.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). &lt;br&gt;<br /> The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is presumably that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br /> Keep in mind that if you point this out in a fictional-history context, however, [[SSHIT]] will come for you in the dead of night.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> === Kaisers of the First Era ===<br /> *[[Kaiser Raynor I|Raynor I]]: b2395 -

<p>Cj miller: /* Kaisers of the Fifth Era */</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. <br /> Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which<br /> they belonged. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Kaisers of Shireroth==<br /> <br /> '''Bold''' text is used to denote a ruling [[Steward]];&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''italics'' are used to denote a Kaiseress.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A period without either a Kaiser or a Steward is marked by &quot;(Landsraad)&quot;, as the [[Landsraad]] was by that point the highest remaining governing body.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). &lt;br&gt;<br /> The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is presumably that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br /> Keep in mind that if you point this out in a fictional-history context, however, [[SSHIT]] will come for you in the dead of night.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> === Kaisers of the First Era ===<br /> *[[Kaiser Raynor I|Raynor I]]: b2395 -

<p>Cj miller: /* Kaisers of the Fifth Era */</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. <br /> Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which<br /> they belonged. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Kaisers of Shireroth==<br /> <br /> '''Bold''' text is used to denote a ruling [[Steward]];&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''italics'' are used to denote a Kaiseress.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A period without either a Kaiser or a Steward is marked by &quot;(Landsraad)&quot;, as the [[Landsraad]] was by that point the highest remaining governing body.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). &lt;br&gt;<br /> The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is presumably that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br /> Keep in mind that if you point this out in a fictional-history context, however, [[SSHIT]] will come for you in the dead of night.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> === Kaisers of the First Era ===<br /> *[[Kaiser Raynor I|Raynor I]]: b2395 -

<p>Cj miller: /* Imperial Decrees */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Windsor}}<br /> [[File:Gaelen IV.png|thumb|left|Painting of Gaelen IV.]]<br /> '''Kaiser Gaelen IV''' of the Noble [[Line of Win'Eth]] was the successor of [[Kaiser Magni I]] and was played by [[Jonas]]. He ascended the Throne in 4228 ASC and is the current Kaiser.<br /> <br /> ==Name choice==<br /> The choice for the name Gaelen was not accidentally or because it sounded nice. It refers to the big examples of the Kaiser: [[Kaiser Gaelen I]], who made [[Kildare]] a part of the Shirerithian Empire. And because Jonas / Gaelen is a Kildarian, it was an easy choice.<br /> <br /> ==Ascension of the Throne==<br /> With much pomp and circus Gaelen entered [[Shirekeep]] in oldfashioned Apollonian clothes (a tunica, armor and helmet). With this he wanted to show that even the local cultures of faraway regions of the Empire can be used by Kaisers.<br /> <br /> Before his coronation started, he did a procession over the Kaiser's Boulevard from the city gates towards Raynor's Keep. After the coronation, he went to the [[House of Sakat]] to honour the God of Time. <br /> <br /> <br /> During his coronation, Gaelen spoke to the people and presented them some of his future plans for the Empire:<br /> <br /> [[File:House of Sakat.png|thumb|right|Immediately after His coronation, Gaelen went to the [[House of Sakat]] to pray to [[Sakat]].]]<br /> {{quote|text=<br /> '''Coronation Speech of Gaelen IV''' [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8028#p8028]<br /> <br /> Dear Gentlemen and Ladies,<br /> <br /> That I’m standing here today in the Throne Room of Raynor’s Keep, the home of a long line of Kaisers, is the living proof that we have succeeded in protecting ourselves against foreign threats. Some people and nations would have preferred to see us death, for whatever reason that could be. But we have shown that you can’t destroy the soul of Shireroth and its citizens that easily. Not even by trying to get the Empire split. Yes, we lost Elwynn. Yes, we lost Straylight. Yes, we had a tough time with chaos and disorder. The streets were empty, the fields had become nothing more than easy targets for scum and rebels to plunder. Many had lost hope, even in our traditional Duchies. We saw the Goldshirian, Brookshirerithian and even the rebellious Yardistani dynasties fall one after one. Despair had even reached the Imperial Counties and some people, not only in the dark alleys, were speaking about the possibility of protecting our Empire by replacing it through an independent Kildare which would protect our heritage. As I said: history – thank Sakat for this!- seemed to have other plans for us. We didn’t fall. The Kaisers restored order and the Elwynn secession happened quite peaceful after a period of unrest. These people are, of course, still our friends. Actually, more than friends: they are family. There is no doubt that they would be welcomed back into our society when they want it. I have serious doubts that they would accept such an offer, but only time can show us what will happen.<br /> <br /> Now, it’s perhaps not a bad idea to give some information about what I want to reach during my reign as Kaiser. Institutional changes are as good as finished with the creation of the Adelsraad (alright, we still need to legally sort it out, but that’s just a minor thing), the Landsraad is functioning and the Duchies are once again split into three camps. <br /> <br /> That’s why I think that it’s time to do what so many people have shouted for: I’m gonna seek for the Shirerithian culture. To be more detailed: I want to make it my top priority to gather all old works from influent Shirerithian authors and publish them in pdf-files. For some works (I’m thinking of the story which Scott wrote for 10 years Shireroth), I would even like to add pictures which should make the stories even better looking. You could call my goal: a Recovery of Our Ancient Culture.<br /> <br /> Next on my list is further developing the religion. There were some debates about (new or) uniting religions. I’m going to focus on developing the dominant religion and on the creation of an Imperial Cult. While the Kaiser will be seen as a representative of the Gods on Micras, he isn’t a God. This only happens with some of the Kaisers after their death.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Kaiser will stand for Stability. Without Him, there is the imminent threat of a collapsing society and chaos. <br /> Our older stories could easily be integrated into this newer theory: the Sword of Fire (first used by the Khaz Modan and thereafter having been lost for centuries) was given to Raynor I as a present from the God Mors himself.<br /> I will not make it a secret: I hope to unite Cedrist and Soloralist religions into one religion. I’m not sure this plan will receive the support I want it to get, but I can only try to develop something.<br /> <br /> <br /> For this all, I also plan the creation of new temples throughout the Empire to spread the words of the Imperial Cult and our Belief. Next to that, to the north of Shirekeep, in the mountains, a certain valley will be called the Valley of Mors. From now on, Kaisers will be buried in the tombs in this Valley. Their body will be directed with their feet to the northwest (the only direction that isn’t protected by the Elwynn river) and with their head to the southeast. That way, the spirits of the dead Kaisers will become the (spiritual) protectors of Shirekeep (and the Empire), who can travel between the Celestial Temple and our world.<br /> <br /> A temple complex near the only entrance of the Valley will be build: Sakatopolis. Here will the dead Kaisers be greeted and honoured for a last time. In normal cases, the dead Kaiser will be transported from Shirekeep to Sakatopolis, so the peasants can also bring a last greet while the Kaiser passes their farm fields or villages. <br /> |}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Reign==<br /> [[File:1 erb coin Gaelen.png|thumb|right|Golden coins, minted in and with gold from [[Novi Dalmacija]].]]<br /> <br /> Kaiser Gaelen took a flying start and took immediate actions to wake up the cultural and religious life within the Imperial Republic. The traditional army soldiers who were used as the bodyguard of the Kaiser were replaced by the [[Apollonian Guard]].<br /> To celebrate his ascension to the throne, Gaelen minted a new golden coin with his face on it and the coat of arms of the Empire and distributed among the people of [[Shirekeep]].<br /> <br /> The Kaiser tried to revive religious life by establishing the [[Imperial Cult]], in which the Kaiser gets worshipped as a demigod according to the [[Principle of Stability]], and by opening the [[Valley of Mors]] by which he hopes to develop more (religious) traditions around the death of a Kaiser.<br /> <br /> Politically, the biggest job the Kaiser has done, was rewriting and updating the [[Imperial Code of Law]], which was made by [[Kaiser B'Caw I]]. The new Lawbook foresaw the creation of the [[Adelsraad]], a veto council of the Dukes to limit the powers of both Landsraad as Kaiser, and officially opened the Landsraad to all nobles (which since [[Kaiser Ometeotl I]] had only been the case in practice, but not on paper).<br /> <br /> ==Imperial Decrees==<br /> '''Imperial Decrees made by this Kaiser:''' [[Imperial Decree 475]], [[Imperial Decree 476]] and [[Imperial Decree 477]].<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{succession box|<br /> title=[[Kaiser|Succession of the Shirithian Kaisership]]<br /> |before= [[Kaiser Magni I]]<br /> |after= [[Kaiser Cedris I]]<br /> |years=4228 &amp;mdash; 4337}}<br /> {{end box}}</div>
