Scundia

The flag of the Kingdom of Scundia

"Holy fack!"

"Dear gods no..."

"It's...are those Scuns?"

"Angels and ministers of grace defend us!"

—Typical reactions from people who meet Scuns

Scundia is a nation filled with Scuns who are known for their utter stupidity. The kingdom is located south of Maar Sul in a desert, and its capital is Scundor. Scundia came under control of the Proninist Party in 10 AOE, and the nation's current leader is Premier Pavel Serdiuk while the rightful King Khasra III is living in exile.

History of Scundia

Early Years

Scundia was originally one of the provinces of Grandbell in the Second Age. Scuns led by Khasra I declared independence during the Grandbell Civil War, but nobody cared. Scun independence was recognized postwar by King Lysander Trathiel.

Distreyd Era

Not much was heard from Scundia during the Yamatian Invasion and the Great War. The Yamatians did invade the kingdom, but they soon realized that Scuns were more trouble than they were worth. The Grand Alliance eventually liberated Scundia but soon moved onward to Aison. Scundia did not fully participate in the Great War but sent a small group soldiers to aid the Alliance army...which caused the Alliance more trouble than it was worth having those extra few Scuns tagging along.

The Cataclysm didn't seem to register in most Scuns' minds. Or maybe they were just busy minding their own business.

Godslayer Era

The Proninist invasion of Scundia began with the infamous attack on Shit Harbour in 10 AOE. The rest of the kingdom was conquered a few days later when the Proninists promised Scuns free cake. King Khasra III, Princess Maple Mallorein and a few Scun Loyalists managed to flee from Scundor to Maar Sul City, but the majority of Scuns remained under Pronininst control.

However, some groups such as Craig Rimner's Secret Scundian Expedition and Titaniel Focker's Western Maar Sul Regiment did eventually join forces with other factions such as the Crimson Coalition and the Grand Alliance although this happened a year later in 11 AOE.

Armor and Emblems

Many Scuns wear armor with a mix of black and gold to emulate the Maar Sulais armor or maybe just to piss off the Maar Sulais. The flag of Scundia is a drunken stag's head with a mix of red and gold against the backdrop of what resembles the flag of Ireland.

Dialect

Academic circles are currently having a debate on whether Scuns actually have their own language or a dialect. It does not help that many members of said academic circles are in fact Scuns who know jack shit about what they're discussing. Most people with common sense simply shrug it off by saying that Scuns have their own dialect or vernacular, but the debate in universities (Scunnish ones at least) will likely never cease.

Below is an example often used in class to point out the different nuances of Common and Scunnish:

COMMON: "Pardon me, good sir. I am a translator looking for work, and it occurs to me that the government of Libaterra could use my services. Would you be so kind as to direct me to the capital?"
SCUNNISH: "Where the fack's the capital, ye stupid bastard?"

Military

Scunnish military is not-so-competent, but it does have archers, cavalry and even a navy. Scuns usually got lost when they tried to attack anyone, but the attack on Maar Sul under the Pronininst Party in the years 10-11 AOE was the first successful foreign invasion that the Scuns had ever participated in.

Below is an example often used in class to show how an "ordinary" Scunnish army behaves on the battlefield. The example is based on actual documented events from the Second Battle of Victoire:

~

"There they are, boys," said Captain Serdiuk. "Archers ready!"
The captain of the Second Scun Archery Regiment relayed the order: "Ready the incid...incesti...incu...fire arrows!"
The Maar Sulais lumbered into range. "Fire!" shouted Serdiuk. "Fire!" repeated his Scun counterpart. "Fire! Fire! oh, shit. Fire!"
No arrows flew. Serdiuk risked a glance over his shoulder.
The entire Second Archery Regiment was rolling on the ground, engulfed in flames. Serdiuk sighed. It would have to be up to the cavalry.
"Cavalry, CHARGE!" he ordered.
A diseased yak charged at the enemy.
Serdiuk looked back again and saw only a bunch of confused Scuns, some of whom were still on fire. He sighed again.
"You guys on horses! Go fight the bad guys!" The Scun Cavalry Regiment charged.
