Lontinien (Lontinian: Londin Uls; Hurmu Norse: Lontinen) is the part of Hurmu on the Apollonian continent, on the mouth of the River Glacei. It is populated by Lontinians (Jawnetka), a people related to the Yak Horde but with a peaceful nomadic lifestyle. This lifestyle brought the affinity of the Hurmudans and they became friends, allies and brothers ever since. In 1694, the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde swore their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien and Lontinien thus assumed that Ulus's territory from the Green.

The name Lontinien is Crandish in origin, and is derived from the old, long-since ruined, city of Londina, one of the few cities of the Jawnetka in pre-historic times.

Lontinien was in its early days confused with Tartary (later known as Eesdeheito), and the two names became synonymous with one another. Their cultures and languages have much similarity, and their histories have interlinked one another through subjugation in Cranda and Stormark.

Geography

View of Lontinien near the border with Lac Glacei

Lontinien is flat, its highest elevation is 44 metres above sea level (the Lontinians call it "the Sky Mountain" with some tongue in cheek). Forests are rare, though exist in the far southern regions of the District. The land is steppe-like and generally not well suited for growing crops.

Lontinien's border is in the process of being demarcated and secured. On the other side of the border is the lawless Green.

Ghawlama is the capital city of Lontinien, and the only real port. Ghawlama also is a toll port for access up and down the River Glacei. The largest city in the district, however, is Khojinacinggha. Other important towns of note are Mitrovska and Vadimbaatar.

History

Lontinien is probably one of the oldest parts of Micras. It used to be a nation of its own before being annected to Cranda (before Menelmacar even existed). Later, the culture of Lontinien merged with that of Tartary and the storyline developed: Apollonian Tartars spoke a Mongolic language (not a Turkic) and placenames reflected that. Tartary has since been reduced to the small part of Lontinien by the River Glacei, but it's city still has a Mongolic name: Ghawlama, "the river-mouth".

• Founded in North Cranda as Londina

Timeline

1599–1603: Part of The Dominion

1606: Lakkvia formed as part of Craitland, Ghawlama occupied by Jingdao

1607: Outside Ghawlama, Lontinien under Cheltia

1614: Cheltia collapses, Ghawlama remains under Jingdaoese rule

1615: Toketi (Gralus) claims the former Cheltian parts of Lontinien, Jingdao leaves Ghawlama to the Green

1627: Jingdao retakes Ghawlama after 12 years in the Green

1628: Gralus (Toketi) collapses. Stormark sets up a Lontinien khanate outside the Ghawlama region (which, expanded, remains under Jingdaoese rule)

1631: Ghawlama is ruined

1632: Jingdao collapses, loses its continental lands, remains on a few islands. Later the same year, Stormark takes Ghawlama from the Green and establishes a government, rebuilds the city, and expands the Lontinien region, which it holds until 1685 when Stormark collapses.

Hurmu independence

• 1689: Lontinien joins the Hurmu Trust Territory, its Khan, Temüjin, becomes co-ruler of Hurmu
• 1690: Lontinien becomes part of the newly restored state of Hurmu.
• 1691:
• 1692:
• 1693:
• 1694: With the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde swearing their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien, and thereby their allegiance to the state of Hurmu and the Order of the Holy Lakes, Lontinien's territory expanded to include the territory under the dominance of the Eastern Ulus (centred in Khojinacinggha). As such, Lontinien's population increased by 3.17 million people speaking a Lontinian dialect. Moreover, at the same time, Lontinien expanded to integrate Mitrovska into it, after the population there had asked for Hurmu's aid in pacifying the city and restoring it to order. As such, some 150,000 people of the Corian tongue were added to the population of Lontinien.
