Queen Layaw's Amorian Colony (Common Amorian: Layawsaamorynenwajeuleha /laɪ.ʲaw.saː.mo.ʀɪn.en.wa.ʃə.le.ha/), or Amoria for short, is a nation located in Aŋtarctica just northeast of Appalliŋesia founded by BoubaKiki1102 on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, which was Queen Kiki's 25th Summer's 22nd Day on the Amoryn calendar (Kikisanijulyuminjimyuleujilyuwajeleu).

History

Pre-Nguhcraft Colonization

(Note: Much of the lore is yet to be written.)
Mainland Amoria exists in a separate world from its Nguhcraft colonies called Kaldemare. On this world, it has a rich and long history and culture. The time of its founding is debated, but myth claims it was founded by the goddess Rameuniyu, the goddess of rivers, when she separated the central island from the peninsula that surrounds it. At first, Amoria had no ruler, and was instead an anarchist democratic society, where rules were never set formally and enforced by the people. This changed, however, when Sane Moja declared himself the first Lord of Amoria.

Pre-Nguhcraft Imperial Era

Amoria's imperial era began during Quing Yumi's reign. The first place colonized by Amoria was its neighboring state of Elaria, although this claim was quickly dissolved due to rebellions. Since then, Amoria's borders have expanded to more of the peninsula surround it, more than tripling its size.

Arrival on Ngearth

Amorians first arrived on Ngearth by accident on Queen Kiki's 25th Summer's 22nd Day, which was December 23, 2025 on the Gregorian calendar. The sea vessel that emerged from what is now called the Amoryn Sea, named Lamayya, set sail from Hearyn ports and into the southern ocean on Amoria's homeworld under 2 weeks earlier. Lamayya carried 290 Amoryn sailors, one of whom was the captain of the ship and Princess of Amoria, daughter of the Eastern Queen Kiki, Layaw. Lamayya set sail with the mission of reaching the island of Janakow in order to attend a diplomatic meeting. Unfortunately, Lamayya never reached its destination. 10 days after leaving Hea and 7 days after reaching the ocean, Lamayya was caught in the middle of a large storm, sinking the ship beneath the water, as well as everything and everyone on board. 24 of the 290 crew members were found alive. Everyone else was presumed dead, including Layaw. Without their bodies, traditional funerals could not be held, and so instead 266 pink and gold flowers were released onto the rivers that carried Lamayya at the start of its journey, one for each missing individual.
4 hours after it sank, however, Lamayya resurfaced in the Amoryn Sea of Ngearth. Many of its goods were lost in the havoc, and unfortunately, 36 crew members were pronounced dead and 13 missing. The remaining 217 crew members, which included Layaw, docked the ship at the first beach they found. This location was later established as Myngni Pier, or A Beginning Pier. The crew began building Tulanahea, or New Hea around this pier. The 36 dead crew members were given one large funeral onboard Lamayya two days after docking.

Magic & Technology

Amorian magic is commonly referred to as Arcanics. Much of how it works is currently unknown, but is being rapidly discovered alongside new arcanic innovations born from the very beginning of Amoria's first Industrial Revolution, which started relatively recently.

Arcanic Energy

Arcanics is based on an arcanic energy present in every spot of every universe in varying concentrations. Arcanic energy is naturally drawn to carbon, meaning it follows most lifeforms. Kaldemare is a hotspot of arcanic energy because most life living there has an unusually high carbon composition. Biomatter can be converted into arcanic energy and vice versa. Arcanic energy can also be converted into other types of energy, such as kinetic.
There exist many conductors of arcanic energy. The most notable is weulagonayuwan, or arcanic gems. Arcanic gems are several types of gems and crystals, all of which are translucent and cool-colored. They can either transport arcanic energy or store it, and different types, which can be distinguished with properties such as color, roughness, or transparency, are more suited for different arcanic-related purposes than others.
The word "arcanic" can also refer to a user of arcanics.

Arcanic Runes

Arcanic energy can be more precisely manipulated with the use of certain runes. Different cultures have different sets of runes, as they are created by society for the purpose of arcanic manipulation. Amorian runes resemble many magic circles of the Fakeworld. They can be written on the ground, etched into arcanic gems or non-arcanic materials, or, with decades of practice and knowledge, summoned in the air before the hand of the user.

Arcanology

Arcanology is the study of arcanics and how it works. The difference between arcanics and arcanology is akin to the difference between an engineering class and a physics class.

Religion & Myth

The large majority of Amorians follow a polytheistic religion with a pantheon of many gods. These gods live in a higher realm in the sky, with the exception of Wanuni, whose body is the land. From time to time, some will inhabit mortal forms to visit the mortal world, often hiding their divine identities. Those with skin supposedly have glossy, glass-like skin, void of imperfections. However, they can change their appearance or form at will, and some do not enjoy doing so while others change their form regularly. All the gods descend from two primordial beings, known as Void and Abyss. Void and Abyss are portrayed as eldritch beings beyond comprehension. Should a mortal gaze upon either of them, their brain would simply tell them they are staring into darkness. Void and Abyss predate time and space.

Tu'ononym

The eldest child of Void and Abyss is the elder god Tu'ononym. Tu'ononym has many depictions with many differences, but they all maintain three major themes: Tu'ononym's body includes the form of a jellyfish somewhere, Tu'ononym has stars on their body, and Tu'ononym has a general color palette of blue and purple.

List of other relevant Gods & Domains

(This list is not exhaustive of every god)

• Wanuni - The Land, Dirt, Plants
• Manonym - Speech, Journalism, Exploration
• Rameuniyu - Rivers, Diplomacy, Nations, Society
• Lomani - Fish, Sealife, Food
  • Sometimes, Lomani is portrayed not as his own being but as an aspect or fragment of Mayyeuniyu.
• Deyyeuniyu - Murder, Jealousy, Envy. Nicknamed The Tortured Goddess.

Government

Monarch

Mainland Amoria has a monarchy split between two monarchs, one ruling the east and the other ruling the west. Each ruler rules their side of the nation with their own courts and advisors, but often have to convene to meet with the general court in order to properly rule the overall nation. When colonies are established, one of two things can happen. Either a governor is appointed by the monarchy that would oversee the colony, or, if the colony is established by an royal, said royal would oversee the colony themself. If said royal has not been coronated, they are usually coronated as King/Queen/Quing of their colony. This is what happened with the Ngearth colony, as it was established by Princess Layaw. Layaw was coronated Queen of the Colony and runs the colony as an autonomous nation. This colony is unique in that it cannot keep in touch with mainland Amoria very well, and therefore functions as its own state while still holding the title of Amoryn Colony. Layaw rules as Queen of the Colony of Ngearth.

Royal Court

Every monarch has a colonial court which can overturn royal decisions with a supermajority (≥66.666...%) or propose motions to be rejected or approved by the monarch. Court members are elected via a lottery containing every eligible citizen of the territory. 24 citizens are selected to be in the Royal Court for 6 years before the next lottery or until the people vote for removal of Court members. Voting to remove Royal Court Members requires a supermajority vote.

Royal Departments

Monarchs of Amoria can establish Royal Departments to oversee different fields and industries for the government. The heads of these departments are appointed by the Monarch and the Royal Court. Common departments for Monarchs to establish include but are not limited to the Departments of Arcanics & Arcanology (magic), Soldiers & War (military), Transactions & Currency, History & Literature, and Education & Language.

Full Name

The full name of Queen Layaw's Amorian Colony is "HeaAyyeugayleuLayawleusaminamorynenwajeulehapoamorynpalajayyuamorynnymsumapangeumaremingjomamamynamorylawawjaymingmapalapweufnaparaleujaymamangwijinmiangtaktikaming", meaning "Queen Layaw Ayyeugay of Hea's First Amorian Colony for the Amorian people and the Amorian gods which is on Ngearth and which is beside the Amorian sea which is in the South’s land called Angtarctica". This name is rarely used.
