Nixium, officially the Archduchy of Nixium, is a nation located on the [[Olarian Peninsula]], on the northwesternnorth-western portion of the continent of [[Prospit]]. It is a theocratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy, led by a religious and political leader called an Altan. The official capital has moved between the seat of the formal figurehead several times.
 
==Etymology==
The name 'Nixium' comes from the [[The Lydoneian]]a word for snow (Latin), alluding to the landscape around the first two member cities of the Old Nixium Oath. The scholars of Archivia knew many languages and also taught the vikings of [[Isvik]] and local Olarian villagers this as well as the art of writing.

=== The Old Nixium Oath ===

After [[Prospitian Revolution]] where Isvik and Archivia covertly sided with the rebellion against Acquendavia, the two neighbouring settlements formed The Nixium Oath together by enshrining egalitarian principles and rights between member-towns in a Charter and formalising an Oath to which they abided for many winters. The core sentiment of the Oath was “all for one and one for all”. This took place in a solemn meeting in the dark forests between Archivia and Isvik, where the Oath was discussed for days before finally agreed upon and written down by the scholars of Archivia. Those present also agreed on the colours of the national banner which incorporated black, white, dark green and a tree to allude to the dark landscape.
 
Although the nation was formally egalitarian and rejected the notion of a chain of command with a leader at the top, instrumental to the creation of the Old Nixium Oath was the demonic Arch Archivist of Archivia, Zaktos - whomwho became the de-facto leader and informal figurehead of the nation.▼

All of Nixium was not to be cold dark forests however, as the nation exerted its territorial claims all the way south to a line drawn at x=-300 between River Rolda and the Tipiat Sea, which included warm plains, beaches and temperate forests. Issues immediately arose with the extensive territories. The southern lands were largely unpopulated, so a keep was built by the bridge over the Rolda so that the road connecting to Ragusa passed straight through. The keep not only emanated national authority but also served as a border outpost, immigration office, national showroom and secure accommodation and stables for traveling citizens. ▼

In the (in game-) years that followed, the new nixians expanded their road network, housing and lore keeping, combining their best scholastic and crafting abilities.

As the realm fell into disrepair and under management, the [[Jarl]] of Isvik [[Pzychosocial]] rose to prominence as the de-facto caretaker of the realm. Worried by the state of affairs and seeing how the Oath democracy slowed the decision-making effectiveness of the state, Pzychosocial sought support for running the entire nation as a monarch and was eventually crowned Archduke in the stave church of Isvik on the twentieth of January 2022.

==Culture==
===Languages===
There is no official language in Nixium due to the mix of cultures and for historical reasons as it has not been a centralized state for long. The main spoken language and de facto Lingua Franca is the Common Tongue (English), but Isviking (Swedish) is also widely spoken. The Common Tongue was mainly spoken by the archivists of Archivia, traveling traders and local Olarian villagers,. When the Vikings settled however asand thefounded Isvik, they brought with them both their daily language and elder language used for poetic or ceremonial purposes.
 
The scholars of Archivia also knew many languages that were taught to the vikings of [[Isvik]] and local Olarian villagers as well.
The founders of Zusammenflossberg spoke a language that shared similarities with both of these languages, but was generally not mutually intelligible without effort (German). ▼

===Languages===
 
Bla bla bla
As the isvikings travelled the world and eventually founded the port city of Port-au-Nixe they brought an influx of other languages, including Lydoneian (Latin) which mixed with the local languages to create Bastardo (any Romance language, mix thereof or an attempt to speak Latin with only knowledgeable of other Romance languages).
