Description[?]:
| For quite sometime the Dorvish identity has been focused on German, Bulgarian and Macedonian and that was admittedly me when I first joined the game and realized that many of these had not existed in the game. Over time, they were eventually added in some regards and I began to realize that the culture had not properly fit the game. When I began working with the likes of Polites and others, we made leaps and bounds when it came to the culture of the game. With that, we finalized proto-Dundorfic which allowed us to make the history of Artania a little further cemented. With that, I found a great group of texts regarding the Prussian language and the Dorvish were the sort of "Prussians" of the game as the group never really existed. The Prussian culture fits Dorvik, as Prussian culture is kind of a mix of German and Eastern European cultures. I believe it is precisely something that fits Dorvik. Overtime I gradually phased out the Bulgarians and the Macedonians in favor of the Lormans (who were early Dundorfians who migrated to Dorvik) and the Dorvish (who were later Dundorfians who migrated to Dorvik later). The two culture clashed and eventually they got along due to a royal marriage. What I am stating is that we re-construct the identity of the Dorvish to better fit that. The Lorman people will be the Prussians, who are a blend of Germans and a Prussian culture and the Dorvish ethnic group are essentially Baltic Germans, keeping with the "Eastern" feel of the location. I believe that this will add a lot of cool RP elements such as the warrior culture, the belief in democracy and the altruistic and nationalist nature of the overall "Dorvish" identity. ---- Brief synopsis: The Dorvish identity is divided into two primary groups the Lormans and the Dorvish themselves. The Lormans were a group of proto-Dundorfians who migrated from Dundorf around 6th century BCE and were a primarily a nomadic people. The Dorvish were a tribe who would eventually come to the land known as Atria sometime around 1st century and eventually the conflict engulfed the entire peninsula. The Dorvish and the Lorman eventually agreed to a peace and founded the Kingdom of Dorvik. Ethnicities -- 83% Dorvish ---- 60% Dorvish (OOC: Baltic German-based.) ---- 40% Lorman (OOC: Prussian-based. http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Lorman_language) -- 3% Dundorfian -- 3% Hulstrian -- 3% Vankuian -- 3% Majatran (Kafuri, Al'Badaran, Solentian, Quaranzi, Jakanian) -- 3% Artanian (Alorian, Kirlawan, Rutanian, Hobrazian, etc.) -- 2% Other (Kanjorians, Mordusians, Deltarians, Jelbeks, etc.) Language The primary and official language of Dorvik is Dorvish (Dorvische, OOC: German) with another officially recognized language being Lorman (Lōrmāniskan, OOC: Prussian)Political parties, unless specific ethnic nationalist, are to be translated into German. I would recommend Google Translate for this, seeing as it is the most readily available resource. Bulgarian you can use Google Translate as well. For Lorman, please see the link in the ethnicity area which leads you to the wiki where you can find an English to Prussian translator, if you need any help with this please let me know. Religion -- 60% Reformed Hosian Church of Dorvik (Ordist Church, Ordism. Ordism was founded when Hosian missionaries came to Dorvik in the first century. The church was a mainstream part of the Holy Apostolic Church of Terran before Martyn Luthor. The church reformed and made the teachings of Saint Ordius their official doctrine. Ordism stresses order, loyalty, faithfulness to the nation and faithfulness to god.) -- 20% Selucian Patriarchal (Lead by the Archbishop of Haldor, Province of Dorvik) -- 10% Agnostic -- 5% Ahmadism (Primarily Abadi and Halawites, small portion of Queranzariah) -- 5% Other (Dorvish paganism, atheist, deist) Naming Primarily characters should be German-named, with a portion being Bulgarian-named with a small, rare portion being minority names. |
