Kingdom of Shroom

2022-07-07T21:34:43Z

Themanbriggs:

The '''Kingdom of Shroom''' is the historiographical name given to various political entities of Fungi. It exists among several powerful states in the ..... Ocean and is situated in Barren Cove, from which the [[Mycelium Triumvirate]] rules Shroomian territories. While the state is often referred to as a Kingdom, it is not ruled as a monarch, and is instead headed by a Triumvirate consisting of three powerful noble lords who hold almost all power.

The Mycelium Triumvirate has adopted a strict foreign policy stance of armed neutrality that started with the Attack on Barren Cove in 1799. In more recent times, the Mycelium Triumvirate has ordered an expansion of the Mycelium Navy, as belligerents have regularly attempted to intimidate the Kingdom and place demands on it.

== History ==
=== Attack on Barren Cove ===
The '''Attack on Barren Cove''' was a surprise military strike by the Aurelian Empire upon the newly established Mycelium Triumvirate against a naval settlement on Friday, 30 June, 1799. The Kingdom of Shroom was a neutral nation at the time; the attack led to a reform of its military and foreign policy the next day, shifting its focus to armed neutrality.

Allegedly, the Aurelian Empire intended the attack as a preventive action, citing that the Mycelium Triumvirate had taken steps to establish itself as a protectorate of the Valyrian Empire, but these claims were denied by members of the Triumvirate. The naval settlement was attacked by air and sea forces from the Aurelian Empire in a single wave. The Mycelium Navy had been officially established days before the attack, and was unable to resist the Aurelian assault in any effective manner.

Important settlement installations such as power beacons, dry docks, storage and other facilities were largely unharmed by the Aurelian attack. The attack led to a fundamental change in Mycelium relations with Aurelia, leading them to be more wary of foreign powers. The lack of historical precedents for the unannounced military action, and a lack of any formal warning, led Mycelium head figures such as Lord Michael Briggs to claim that the attack was a war crime.

The day after the attack, Lord Captain Nico Semsrott opened negotiations with the Aurelian Empire, demanding reparations for the attack and a formal apology, both of which were delivered by the Aurelian Empire on the same day. This essentially revived Mycelium and Aurelian relations to pre-attack levels. The attack led to widespread criticism and condemnation from other global powers, such as the Valyrian Empire and the Escarian Republic.

== Religion ==

The Kingdom of Shroom is heavily influenced by a religious order known as the '''Mycelium Order''', which is the official state religion of the Kingdom of Shroom. Traditionally, members of the Mycelium Triumvirate and other governmental organizations have been devout members of the Mycelium Order, and the two are heavily intertwined.

The '''Mycelium Triumvirate''', also known by some as the '''First Mycelium Triumvirate''', is a political alliance formed after the Mycelium colonization of [[Barren Cove]], comprising Lord Michael Briggs, Lady m0th and Captain Nico Semsrott. It rules the archipelago essentially as a dictatorship, with each of the triumvirs assuming charge of an individual set of islands. The Triumvirate is an official, legally established institution within the greater Kingdom of Shroom, whose overwhelming power in the Kingdom has been given full legal sanction and whose authority outranks that of all other members.

For many, the Triumvirate has been cause for great celebration, as it has resulted in an unseen rise in prosperity and stability on Barren Cove.

Themanbriggs:

'''Lord Michael Briggs''', called the "'''First Knight of the Mycelium'''" or simply "'''Lord Briggs'''", is a Lord of the Barren Cove, the third triumvir in the [[Mycelium Triumvirate]], an and anointed Knight of the Mycelium Order. Michael is counted among the most prominent Lords in Barren Cove, but ranks as the least influential Lord ruling in the Mycelium Triumvirate, although the Triumvirate is constitutionally based on equal rule.

His participation in the Mycelium colonization of Barren Cove proved him an able and shrewd ruler who brought great prosperity to the Cove.

Nico Semsrott

Themanbriggs:

= Nico Semsrott =

Captain and Shroombringer '''Nico Semsrott''' of the Kingdom of Shroom, Disciple of the First Mycelium Order, was born a Daughter of the Soil around the late 1770s, with the exact date of birth highly debated. Known as the co-leader, co-founder and Shroombringer of the peaceful builder's guild "Kingdom of Shroom" (FUNGI), she rules over the Shroomian domain alongside her lifelong traveling companion and Sister-in-Soil, Lightkeeper [[m0th]]. A skilled artisan and architect, Captain Nico has been an integral part of the expansion and advancement of the Shroomian infrastructure and is responsible for the construction of many great Shroomian monuments and city districts, alongside a great number of vessels of the Shroomian Fleet.

== Early Life ==
Not much is known about Semsrott's life before her early adventures. Her date and place of birth, as well as any blood relatives or heritage are unknown, in part due to a severe case of amnesia affecting her early memories. Officially her birthday is signed the 07.07.1777.

== Early Career ==
The exact start of Nico and [[m0th]]'s rise to infamy can be pinpointed at their arrival in the city of Amberieux. Their goal of propagating their religious ideals and founding a Kingdom of prosperity, peace and abundance was clear, their path there however wasn't. In their uncertainty and struggle to navigate the wilds, a Valyrian commander called [[Gioacchino Murat]] stumbled upon the pair and took them into the city of Meereen, where they were welcomed with open arms and allowed to settle and gather their bearings.

== [[m0th]] ==
Lightkeeper [[m0th]] is Nico's earliest and most dependable friend and travel companion. Brought together by circumstance and held together by a common devotion to the Mycelium and a drive to leave each town better than they found it, the pair of adventurers set out to explore the lands and seas of Aimera.
