Some facts about Senas Tuath:
Senas Tuath is one of the earliest seafaring civilizations, with maritime exploration dating back nearly two millennia. From its origins, the sea has been central to its identity, shaping its culture, politics, and worldview.
Legends and historical records speak of Senmagos, a western region once under Senas Tuath's control and later lost to the ocean. While tradition claims rising sea levels caused its disappearance, scholars continue to debate other possibilities, including geological collapse or large-scale conflict.
Among the nations of Eldervale, Senas Tuath has long been known for its diplomatic openness and far-reaching maritime networks, maintaining sustained contact and influence across distant regions. It is also associated with an unusually high number of lost vessels and submerged naval structures, most officially dismissed as legend. When wrecks surface beyond its waters, the state formally requests their return, reinforcing its secrecy regarding naval history.
The civilization's reverence for the sea is most visibly expressed in its architectural traditions. Urban structures are dominated by tapered towers resembling inverted ship keels, anchored by broad, sloped foundations designed to deflect waves and storm surges. Buildings feature curved, hull-like walls with minimal sharp angles, while cantilevered platforms extend over the water in the manner of docks or ship prows. Cities are frequently constructed in tiered formations, with terraces descending gradually into the sea. In many cases, shipyards are integrated directly into the city's foundational structure. Certain buildings incorporate floodable lower levels to accommodate docking for submersible vessels. Decorative and symbolic motifs throughout Senas Tuath architecture commonly include waves, knots, spirals, stars, and horizon lines. Interior spaces are deliberately reminiscent of ship interiors, characterized by exposed structural ribs and pressure frames. Lighting is soft and indirect, often designed to evoke bioluminescence, while ambient soundscapes feature subtle water movement, distant sonar-like pulses, and the persistent presence of wind and tide.
In the great port city of Rigobriga, a monumental circular structure dominates the harbor: a vast compass-like ring elevated on reinforced pillars. At its center, a bold axis ends in an arrow pointing toward the open sea—an ideological statement declaring that Senas Tuath's future and identity remain bound to the ocean.
Brief modern history:
Senas Tuath, when compared with other nations of the Eldervale, was widely regarded as one of the most stable and enduring political regimes of its era. The current governing order was established in 787 following a prolonged period of political crisis and civil unrest driven by institutional weakness, the erosion of public confidence in state authorities, and the death of Conachis Mapi Makinas, whose passing triggered a wave of uprisings and attempts to overthrow the government. After several days of mounting public pressure and coordinated demonstrations, the ruling administration formally resigned and agreed to transfer authority to an alternative political body.
Power was subsequently assumed by the Tuatha Caloni Party (TC), a coalition formed from hundreds of small and large political groups that had emerged during the late period of the previous regime. Under its leadership, the Thalassate of Senas Tuath and the Outer Seas was officially proclaimed on 19 October 787.
Historically, Senas Tuath maintained moderate diplomatic relations with many nations across the world. However, its relations with nearby regional powers were often strained—most notably with Toutanglom, due to longstanding disputes over sovereignty and control of several key island territories. These tensions persisted for centuries and repeatedly intensified, outlasting multiple political administrations on both sides.
The early decades of the new regime were largely uneventful, characterized by continued cultural development, advances in maritime engineering and naval transportation, and sustained cooperation with allied and partner states. Traditional seafaring practices remained central to national identity and economic activity.
On 7 March 834, Senas Tuath experienced one of the most devastating natural disasters in its recorded history, when a massive tsunami—later known as the Tondos Mormare—struck the western coastline. Lasting nearly ten hours, the tsunami caused catastrophic destruction: entire settlements were inundated, infrastructure was swept away, and dangerous residual currents persisted for days. Flooding continued for nearly three days across much of the region. The disaster resulted in severe human and material losses and led to the establishment of new national standards for tsunami-resistant construction, coastal defense planning, and maritime safety. The western territories were subsequently reconstructed under a comprehensive regional redevelopment and resilience program.
In 859, after decades of preparation and scholarly debate, the state initiated a major exploratory program to investigate the submerged remnants of its ancient past. Historical accounts describe a great western landmass known as Senmagos, believed to have been a prosperous region distinguished by highly advanced maritime technology. According to legend, the territory was lost thousands of years earlier due to rising sea levels. While the existence of Senmagos had long been accepted by historians, claims regarding its technological achievements remained contested. However, the discovery of artifacts and possible architectural fragments beneath the ocean drew renewed governmental interest. The exploration effort expanded significantly after the recovery of a rare archival document referencing a "great treasure" believed to contain cultural relics and written records from the lost civilization—evidence interpreted as confirmation of ancestral heritage.
Between 860 and 995, numerous major constructions and anomalous discoveries were eventually identified deep beneath the ocean. These findings have significantly shaped modern understanding of that period, though many aspects remain unresolved.
In January 874, archaeologists uncovered the Tech Loehgamar, one of the longest halls ever constructed. According to surviving legends, this structure served as a central gathering place for multiple individuals, including the ruler of the nation. It was within this hall that major decisions were issued, laws were formulated, and judgments were rendered. The Tech Loehgamar is frequently described in historical accounts as the political and legal heart of the era.
In February 893, a bizarre and unidentified artifact was discovered. Although it was estimated to originate from the same period as Senmagos, the object appeared entirely out of place. The artifact took the form of a perfect cube. Its material composition was unknown, though analysis suggested it was a fusion of multiple substances. The surface was smooth and seamless, bearing no symbols, inscriptions, or decorative markings. Despite its relatively small size, the object was disproportionately heavy. Its function and creator remain unknown. While some proposed that it was a naturally occurring object, scholars largely dismissed this theory, as the precision of its form would have required multiple tools and highly advanced technical skill. To this day, Senas Tuath has been unable to determine the artifact's purpose or how such an object could have existed in that era.
In October 919, three statues standing in a single line were discovered within a submerged cave. The statues were heavily eroded, yet an empty space between them strongly suggested the existence of a fourth statue, which has never been found. The origin of these statues remains unknown. No surviving texts reference such a group; most historical records mention only a single statue, or at most two. The identities of the figures represented are also unknown, as their facial features were severely distorted. Some historians speculate that one statue may have been commissioned at the request of Cunoval, the ruler at the time. However, this theory is contested, as Cunoval was known for favoring no individual, making it unlikely that he would allow other figures to be displayed alongside himself. Several explorers have reported a persistent sense of unease when standing near the statues.
In 932, one of the most disturbing discoveries was recorded. A vast number of severed heads, without bodies, were found scattered across Sector A in the western region of the state. These heads were covered with various materials, including cloth, paper, clay, and mud. Estimates suggest that more than two thousand similar heads were present within this sector alone. Analysis revealed that the heads originated from vastly different time periods, spanning nearly the entire era of Senmagos. The reason for preserving these heads over such a prolonged period remains unknown. Theories range from the heads belonging to executed criminals to their use in ritualistic practices, though none have been conclusively proven and the topic remains highly disputed.
Finally, in 977, the Brigantis Tower was discovered. This structure is believed to have served as a central archive, where many of the legends and records preserved by Senas Tuath were originally written. The tower stands as one of the most significant literary and historical sites attributed to the era.
Between May and November 877, Senas Tuath engaged in a series of minor but escalating clashes with Toutanglom over control of several disputed islands. The most notable confrontations occurred on the islands of Moritona and Trethgona, territories historically lacking formal sovereignty, where both states repeatedly sabotaged each other's attempts to establish permanent presence. The clashes concluded without decisive victory, yet reinforced each side's determination to assert future claims.
Beginning in 911, Senas Tuath undertook the construction of artificial islands and archipelagos, followed in later years by large-scale floating island structures. These installations served primarily military and strategic purposes while also functioning as a means of territorial expansion. In 924, the maritime exploration program achieved a major breakthrough when researchers successfully located and retrieved the remains of a structure believed to originate from ancient Senmagos. Although heavily damaged, the building was raised to the surface and subsequently preserved as a national museum exhibit, further inspiring deeper oceanic exploration.
On 28 October 962, the sinking of the passenger vessel Morvethar—one of the largest ships ever constructed in Senas Tuath—provoked nationwide controversy and public anxiety. The ship symbolized the nation's maritime ambition and cultural dedication to mastery of the sea. During its seventh voyage, beginning on 25 October, a structural failure occurred when a corroded metal hull plate ruptured, allowing seawater to rapidly flood interior compartments. The aging plate, previously overlooked during inspection, was unable to withstand continued service. More than half of the passengers and crew were reported dead or missing. The tragedy prompted sweeping reforms in maritime safety regulations, including stricter maintenance protocols, inspection standards, and lifelong structural monitoring for all major vessels.
In 996, the Senas Tuath made another major breakthrough — arguably the most significant development since the beginning of the exploration program. The ancient city of Dunomagos, frequently mentioned in multiple manuscripts, was discovered, and its remains closely matched the descriptions recorded in these historical sources. This city had once been among the most advanced centers of the ancient world, functioning as a key hub of regional trade and exchange. Unfortunately, shortly after the discovery, further exploration was halted due to severe economic constraints, and the project was suspended indefinitely, with no confirmed date for its reactivation.
Between August 1112 and February 1113, Senas Tuath was drawn into a new confrontation with Toutanglom over a sovereignty dispute involving three islands — Morina, Brannakos, and Aeromagos — an event later known as The Tidefall War. The conflict began when Senas Tuath authorities detected a Tanglomi encampment on the islands and, suspecting an imminent invasion, issued a formal inquiry to Toutanglom. Receiving no response, Senas Tuath forces opened fire on the occupying units. The war was characterized primarily by naval engagements, with relatively limited land combat. On 20 December and 5 January, Senas Tuath successfully secured Morina and Brannakos; however, Aeromagos remained the site of intense and prolonged fighting, with increasing deployments of warships and maritime equipment on both sides. After a month of unsuccessful attempts to fully dislodge the opposing forces, Senas Tuath ordered a strategic withdrawal to prevent further escalation. In the aftermath, the state adopted a more cautious maritime posture and significantly strengthened its coastal defense infrastructure.
Shortly after the war, a pandemic emerged within the state. Soldiers returning from the conflict had unknowingly been exposed to a viral agent — Maro, believed to originate from Toutanglom's biological weapons program — leading to the Mor-Galrani Pandemic. The virus spread rapidly through respiratory transmission and direct contact. Infected individuals experienced severe respiratory obstruction, difficulty swallowing, and progressive suffocation, which could prove fatal without timely treatment. The outbreak lasted for approximately a year and a half. Although overall casualties were not catastrophic, the pandemic served as a critical warning regarding the threat of biological warfare from Toutanglom.
On 18–20 October 1134, the Drowned Harbor Catastrophe occurred following a chain of structural failures at a major southern harbor. Aging piers, unstable foundations, rising sea levels, and unusually high tides caused multiple docks and warehouses to partially collapse and sink, flooding nearby districts and disrupting trade routes. Miscalculations in engineering assessments and long-term neglect of maintenance played a central role in the disaster. Many of the affected ports had stood for centuries, fostering a dangerous assumption that they would remain stable indefinitely. The crisis triggered widespread economic panic, supply shortages, and intense political blame across the state, along with public fear regarding the safety of other ports. Although conditions stabilized after two months, reconstruction of the damaged harbor required long-term planning, and the catastrophe compelled the government to impose far stricter infrastructure maintenance policies.
From February to December 1158, after years of intermittent clashes across the Sea of Song, the largest confrontation between Senas Tuath and Toutanglom took place — the Battle of the Southern Fleet. This sovereignty dispute involved more than thirty islands, large and small, and marked the beginning of large-scale missile warfare in contrast to its limited earlier use. The Battle of Ruanach represented the first coordinated land-missile combined operation by Senas Tuath. The landing at Thuron on 21 June was the largest amphibious operation of the conflict — and one of the largest in the state's history — involving tens of thousands of soldiers. Although the island was successfully captured, Senas Tuath suffered heavy losses, leaving the position vulnerable to counterattack.
Senas Tuath maintained a slight technological advantage in naval weaponry, leading to multiple maritime victories; however, its land forces were comparatively weaker than those of Toutanglom. The Battle of the Three Islands became the most extensive and brutal naval engagement of the entire conflict. Fought between 7 October and 8 December in the waters surrounding Faelun, Tarlach, and Marrach, the clash saw both sides deploy hundreds of naval and aerial assets, with an average of three to four vessels sunk per day. Ultimately, Senas Tuath emerged victorious after Toutanglom forces began to lose organization and sustain unsustainable losses. The conclusion of this battle marked the end of the wider conflict. Senas Tuath secured fifteen islands — significantly fewer than its strategic objective of at least twenty-seven — and approximately five islands remained disputed even after hostilities ceased.
Constant conflict with Senas Tuath, combined with severe internal political instability, ultimately culminated in the Toutanglom Civil War of 1167. This conflict created an opportunity for Senas Tuath to recapture the islands it had previously lost and to assert sovereignty over several disputed islands and maritime locations. During the civil war, Senas Tuath deliberately destroyed multiple Toutanglom ports as a strategy of economic sabotage, intending to prolong the conflict by disrupting supply lines. These actions later contributed to widespread famine in Toutanglom following the end of the civil war, as transportation and logistical networks had been critically damaged.
In 1198, Senas Tuath completed construction of two of the most powerful and technologically advanced battleships of their era: Brnnog Cathra and Lugra Thonnach. Each vessel measured approximately 330 meters in length and was designed as a multipurpose capital ship. These ships became the foundation of subsequent naval construction programs, serving as the primary blueprint for future shipbuilding standards. Their commissioning significantly enhanced Senas Tuath's maritime military capability and strategic reach.
Following the restoration of internal order in Toutanglom in 1183, tensions resurfaced in 1204 when the state renewed its challenge to Senas Tuath's sovereignty over islands and maritime zones in the Sea of Song. This escalation marked the beginning of a prolonged period of hostility, including an extended trade war that further strained relations between the two powers.
On 1 July 1224, a diplomatic misunderstanding arising from a maritime accident led Toutanglom to declare a full-scale naval war against Senas Tuath, initiating the Fifth Sea of Song War. The conflict lasted approximately two months. Senas Tuath focused primarily on defending its ports and overseas territories; however, despite these efforts, extensive damage was sustained. Reports indicate that approximately twenty-one ports were damaged, with the port of Cuan suffering near-total destruction. Numerous islands were also attacked, several of which experienced significant degradation of their defensive capabilities. Hostilities ceased after both sides agreed that continued conflict was no longer strategically viable, leading to the signing of a treaty establishing mutual free-port operations on 16 September.
Despite the agreement, the newly established government of Toutanglom adopted an increasingly aggressive posture toward Senas Tuath. Many observers noted that this administration was even more hostile than its predecessor, prompting Senas Tuath to raise its national alert level. The treaty failed to resolve underlying disputes and instead intensified tensions. This period was followed by a series of smaller yet strategically significant conflicts, including the Strait Campaign (1232), the War on the Grey Water (1239), the Blue Line Conflict (1248), and the Littoral War (1255). These engagements resulted in the continual reconfiguration of authority over numerous islands and maritime territories.
Beyond its rivalry with Toutanglom, Senas Tuath also faced rising maritime tensions with Ornazia following that state's formal declaration of independence in 1256. These tensions were concentrated along Ornazia's northern maritime boundary. Although no direct military confrontations occurred, the situation deteriorated as Senas Tuath perceived a potential erosion of its naval dominance. After prolonged negotiations, the Muirenna Treaty—governing maritime operations—was signed in June 1261. Despite the agreement, Senas Tuath maintained a cautious stance toward Ornazia, viewing it as a potential future adversary.
Amid persistent maritime harassment and escalating instability, Senas Tuath concluded that the situation could not be sustained indefinitely. A covert operation, designated Operation Tairm Cuana, was devised to infiltrate Toutanglom's ports and conduct sabotage while disguising the damage as technical failures. The operation ultimately failed after Toutanglom uncovered the plan through its intelligence network. In retaliation, Toutanglom launched aerial bombardments against Senas Tuath's ports on 9 March 1272. This action was widely interpreted as a direct declaration of war.
Two months later, on 6 May 1272, Senas Tuath formally declared war on Toutanglom, initiating the Sixth Sea of Song War, which later became a component of the broader First Elder Great War. During the initial phase, the conflict favored Senas Tuath. Toutanglom's forces were heavily committed on the southern front against Abern, allowing Senas Tuath's land forces to advance rapidly toward the Tanglomi capital. At sea, Senas Tuath encountered limited resistance due to its advanced naval technology, including improved missile systems and long-range strike capabilities.
This momentum shifted dramatically on 21 August, when Toutanglom launched Operation Kerriium, deploying newly developed biological agents across the front lines. While mortality rates remained relatively low, the physiological effects on Senas Tuath's forces were severe. Symptoms included persistent vomiting, extreme dizziness lasting several hours, chronic insomnia, widespread skin irritation leading to severe lacerations, hemoptysis, respiratory distress, and escalating nausea. After approximately eight days, affected soldiers developed high fevers, followed by loss of consciousness. These biological attacks forced Senas Tuath into a strategic retreat after a series of Tanglomi counteroffensives, though defensive lines within Senas Tuath's homeland were maintained.
Anticipating further biological warfare, Senas Tuath launched extensive missile strikes against Toutanglom, targeting strategic infrastructure and suspected biological research facilities. Despite widespread devastation inflicted by these attacks, Toutanglom initiated Operation Peraknum on 25 December 1272. Utilizing airborne delivery systems, Tanglomi forces dispersed additional biological agents among both civilian and military populations. These agents caused complete muscular paralysis while preserving sensory perception, inducing total sleep deprivation, hallucinations, organ failure, and death. Victims frequently developed severe gangrene, particularly in the limbs and facial tissues, and some cases reported extreme psychological breakdown.
The resulting pandemic destabilized Senas Tuath and accelerated its military and societal collapse. Despite sustaining heavy missile bombardment and widespread sabotage, Tanglomi forces launched a major offensive into Senas Tuath territory. Ultimately, Senas Tuath was compelled to sign a peace treaty in the capital of Toutanglom on 15 February 1273. Under the terms of the treaty, Senas Tuath was required to pay substantial financial reparations, cede ten percent of its territory, accept strict maritime restrictions, and reduce its naval operations in the Sea of Song to seventy percent below pre-war levels.
The war left Senas Tuath in devastation and resulted in a severe decline of its influence across the Sea of Songs. Among the most catastrophic episodes in Senas Tuath's history was the outbreak of the Crinad Anmandos pandemic, a direct consequence of wartime conditions. The disease spread uncontrollably throughout the entire state, rapidly overwhelming public health institutions.
The combined effects of territorial losses, economic exhaustion, and the unchecked pandemic pushed Senas Tuath to the brink of collapse after centuries of political stability. In response, the government sought to reassure the population, declaring the containment of the pandemic as the highest national priority and calling for unity and collective discipline among the people. However, due to the state's weakened financial capacity, Senas Tuath was unable to develop an effective cure independently. Consequently, it formally requested medical assistance from Hleidisland, renowned for its advanced medical expertise, particularly in countering Toutanglom biological agents.
Negotiations with Hleidisland lasted nearly three months and were marked by persistent tension, as the Hleidis traditionally distrusted foreign powers. Despite these challenges, Hleidisland ultimately agreed to provide assistance, largely due to Senas Tuath's sustained diplomatic efforts. Prior to the arrival of Hleidis vaccinations, hospitals and cemeteries were overwhelmed by the scale of infection and death. With no capacity for proper burials, countless corpses were left in the streets, further accelerating the spread of the disease.
In response, the government promulgated a nationwide distancing decree, mandating strict home confinement and prohibiting all non-essential social interaction three months after the initial outbreak. The most critically affected patients were prioritized for transfer to Hleidisland for advanced treatment. Hleidis physicians expressed alarm at the severity of this new Toutanglom-derived pathogen, noting symptoms far more extreme than those observed during the Zeta Flu.
Five months after the outbreak, the first shipment of vaccines arrived on 23 June, 1273, initiating a nationwide immunization campaign. Within two months, the pandemic was brought under control. Public sanitation operations followed, ensuring the removal of remains from public spaces and the restoration of proper burial procedures. By October, the pandemic was officially declared eradicated, allowing the state to enter a phase of reconstruction and cultural restoration.
Although Senas Tuath's maritime operations were heavily restricted under treaty obligations, the government continued limited naval activities covertly, provided they evaded detection by Toutanglom.
Two decades later, amid the escalating conflict of the Second Great War of Eldervale, and following the stabilization of fronts involving Hleidisland, Toutanglom once again declared war on Senas Tuath on 30 April, 1292. The objective was total domination of the Sea of Songs. The offensive began with a surprise campaign characterized by widespread biological warfare and supply-line sabotage. These actions resulted in significant territorial losses in Senas Tuath's eastern regions. Nevertheless, the advance was eventually halted after Senas Tuath launched coordinated missile strikes against multiple strategic locations within Toutanglom.
Although disease outbreaks re-emerged during the conflict, Senas Tuath was better prepared due to prior medical cooperation with Hleidisland. Concurrently, numerous naval operations were conducted across the Sea of Songs to reclaim regional influence. Among the most notable engagements were the battles of Corvados and Morgatis Islands, as well as the amphibious landing at Morvannach, a strategically vital archipelago consisting of approximately fifteen islands. The landing was delayed several days due to severe storms, and the initial phase encountered intense resistance. Despite heavy losses, Senas Tuath forces ultimately succeeded in retaking the archipelago with extensive missile support and long-range firepower.
While Senas Tuath maintained naval superiority throughout the conflict, the land front remained largely static, dominated by defensive operations and limited offensives. Ground advances were primarily achieved through the support of Hleidisland forces. Toward the final stages of the war, Senas Tuath achieved a decisive symbolic victory by sinking the battleship Mamerska on 17 March, 1294—an enemy vessel so formidable that even the most advanced Senas Tuath ships had previously avoided direct engagement.
The conflict ultimately devolved into a prolonged stalemate until the announcement of the Pax of Seraphic. Senas Tuath formally signed the treaty on 5 July, 1294, bringing the war to an end, with the outcome widely regarded as a strategic and moral victory for Senas Tuath.
With influence over the Sea of Song finally restored through the Pax, the state entered a period of rapid development after many years of stagnation. Postwar recovery was completed swiftly, accompanied by renewed efforts to strengthen cultural identity and preserve long-standing traditions. Although the Pax remained in effect and prevented any direct armed conflict with Toutanglom, tensions persisted, particularly over disputed islands and maritime territories. These disputes were formally designated to be resolved through diplomatic channels and negotiation; however, such measures did not always prove effective. As a result, both states ultimately agreed that several contested locations would be jointly administered and operated under shared authority. This agreement was formally signed by both parties on 6 August 1298. Despite this framework, mutual misunderstandings and deep-rooted resentment remained, leading to multiple incidents in which the two nations came close to violent confrontation, avoided only through timely intervention.
In April 1302, Senas Tuath strengthened its relations with Hleidisland and Abern in response to shared adversaries. During the same period, the state also expanded and formalized its diplomatic ties with several other international powers, further integrating itself into broader geopolitical networks.
By 1314, long-suspended maritime exploration programs were officially resumed after years of cancellation. The renewed expeditions were tasked with locating remnants of the ancient lost lands central to Senas Tuath's historical legacy. In parallel, multinational exploratory efforts were launched to chart the Drowned Maw, regarded as the deepest and most hazardous region in the known world.
Between 1316 and 1331, construction of the advanced vessel Branomaros was completed. This ship marked the beginning of an entirely new generation of naval systems within Senas Tuath. Built from layered smart materials capable of dynamically altering density, elasticity, and thermal properties in real time, the vessel possessed self-healing capabilities and extreme environmental tolerance. It was designed for hybrid ocean–aerospace operation, utilizing field-based propulsion and enabling high-velocity maneuvering. Defensive and operational systems included a point-defense grid, electromagnetic launch platforms, and non-lethal suppression arrays. The Branomaros was capable of fully autonomous operation without a crew, offering exceptional longevity and adaptive mission flexibility. Its primary limitation lay in its dependence on rare materials and specialized knowledge, necessitating sustained foreign trade and technical exchange for construction and full repair.
From 1322 to 1353, Senas Tuath completed the establishment of a comprehensive long-range weapons network across the majority of its controlled maritime territories. These systems were maintained at full operational readiness and could be activated immediately in the event of war. Numerous artificial and floating islands were constructed or repurposed to support and integrate these installations.
On 27 May 1364, Briganta Nemetorixs was officially announced to have passed away due to kidney failure. Prior to her death, she appointed Briganti Vassogenia as her successor and the new leader of the state. Under Briganti's rule, national development continued alongside sustained efforts to reinforce cultural cohesion and tradition, lasting until the onset of the Third Great War.
Ideology: Ammuin Mara
Ammuin Mara is a political doctrine founded on the belief that a sworn ambition possesses authority superior to individual life, comfort, or reason. Within this ideology, retreat is not a strategic failure but a moral crime—the deliberate execution of the dream that legitimized the oath. Once commitment is declared, reversal is forbidden; irreversibility is the highest measure of integrity.
The state exists to carry ambition forward without hesitation. Leadership is not defined by compassion or preservation, but by its willingness to bear consequences and enforce continuity. Preparation and material strength are secondary to resolve; tools may break and bodies may fail, but will must not. Survival is optional—completion is sacred.
Sacrifice is treated as a political necessity rather than a tragedy. Progress is understood to consume lives before it achieves its ends, and this cost is neither hidden nor mourned as injustice. Doubt is regarded as the most dangerous internal threat, capable of destroying collective momentum more effectively than any external enemy. To hesitate is to betray.
The pillars of Ammuin Mara define its structure: Ammuin Dos·berar, the belief that an oath, once sworn, moves forward independent of the individual; Ni-Thuaircis Filleadh, which declares turning back the gravest failure; Ith na Turais, affirming that the path feeds upon those who walk it; Rig gan Trocaire, the rejection of compassion that interrupts progress; and Brisid an Amhras, the understanding that hesitation destroys more than storms.
The political goal of this ideology is absolute commitment to chosen ambition, the sanctification of sacrifice as fuel for progress, and the preservation of the original vow beyond the lifespan of its makers. Its ideal state honors journeys over outcomes, grants no praise for caution, and offers no mercy for retreat. The dead are not victims but validation, and the state itself is envisioned as an unreturning vessel—advancing endlessly, regardless of cost.
