===Pre-Sunrise Horde===
===Pre-Sunrise Horde===
Before the mass migration of Jovic peoples that make up the vast majority of '''Ö'''’s modern population, the Miralayan Plateau was split between various Mahavic and Pre-Mahavic groups, such as the [[Mooi peoples|Mooi]], the [[Tiengic peoples|Tiengics]], and X. The Mooic peoples were by far the most dominant group before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, dominating much of the [[Koma river]] and the plateau surrounding, though they did not stretch all the way to the northern coast. The Tiengic peoples also remained dominant within the southern mountains bordering modern day [[Temay]]. Though many different Tiengic groups existed, the most historically dominant within the area has usually been the X. The Tiengics existed as primarily separate from the peoples of the plateau before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, and the subsequent and frequent subjugation by '''Ö''' warlords.
===Kingdom of X===
In the late 10th century, the Mooic kingdom of X came to power within the region, dominating most of the eastern plateau and eventually conquering all the way to the Cakar. This large semi-nomadic kingdom operated as a confederacy of influential clan groups. X.

With the rapid expansion of the Sunrise Horde in the 12th century, the old order in the Miralayan Plateau began to collapse, as the Kingdom of X was utterly destroyed for resisting [[Yede Galkhai|Galkhai]]. With the destruction of the kingdom, and the mass migration of Jovic peoples, the cultural makeup and traditional power structure of the plateau shifted towards a more Mahavo-centric identity. X
===1942 Revolution and Counter-revolution===
By 1942, Balkism had become popular amongst the urban populations of '''Ö''', leading for calls to end the backwards practice of monarchy. X. In Spring of 1942, emboldened by the victory of pro-democracy militias in [[Temay]] the year prior, various Balkists and other pro-democracy groups launched the [[Ö Revolution]]. The capital of X was quickly occupied with little resistance, and the King offered to negotiate with the revolutionaries. X. The traditional clans and nobility of '''Ö''', angry with the incompetence of the King and his willingness to negotiate with the revolutionaries, launched the [[Ö Counter-revolution]] later that year. After brief bloodshed, the Monarch was expelled, and the government reformed into its current state as a Semi-elective Diarchy.


==Geography==
==Geography==
'''Ö''' is situated entirely within the Miralayan plateau. Trapped by the vast and tall [[Miralayas]], '''Ö''' reaches extremely high altitudes on average, causing a large rain shadow and giving it a cold and dry desert climate. This makes permanent habitation of an area a rare occurrence, and much of the population remains nomadic. The steppe desert lessens as one goes further West, becoming a cold subarctic taiga. '''Ö''' is the source of two(?) major rivers, the Cakar River and the Koma River(?). These two rivers are where much of the permanent settlements in the country are located, as outside of some small villages in the Western taiga, the rivers are the only places that can support large amounts of human habitation.

Being situated on the Miralayan Plateau means that '''Ö''' is frequently the source of strong and destructive earthquakes caused by the collision between the Mirarian and Parshitan Plates. The strongest recorded earthquake in Sahar history, the X Earthquake, occurred near southern '''Ö''' in 19XX and caused over 1000 deaths and even more injuries. Currently, the Mirarian plate is still rising(?) due to continued collision, and the Miralayan plateau grows in height by approximately X centimeters per year.

Ö (Ö: Öö [IPA]), officially Greater Ö, is a country situated on the Miralayan Plateau, bordering both Temay, Margaya, and Urzotia. Traditionally, Ö has been extremely isolated from the modern world, both from lack of resources and interest, as the country is largely traditional in its culture and values.

Etymology

The name Ö is thought to derive from the East Mahavic root *eürä, meaning dusk or evening.

History

Pre-Sunrise Horde

Before the mass migration of Jovic peoples that make up the vast majority of Ö’s modern population, the Miralayan Plateau was split between various Mahavic and Pre-Mahavic groups, such as the Mooi, the Tiengics, and X. The Mooic peoples were by far the most dominant group before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, dominating much of the Koma river and the plateau surrounding, though they did not stretch all the way to the northern coast. The Tiengic peoples also remained dominant within the southern mountains bordering modern day Temay. Though many different Tiengic groups existed, the most historically dominant within the area has usually been the X. The Tiengics existed as primarily separate from the peoples of the plateau before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, and the subsequent and frequent subjugation by Ö warlords.

Kingdom of X

In the late 10th century, the Mooic kingdom of X came to power within the region, dominating most of the eastern plateau and eventually conquering all the way to the Cakar. This large semi-nomadic kingdom operated as a confederacy of influential clan groups. X.

Sunrise Horde

With the rapid expansion of the Sunrise Horde in the 12th century, the old order in the Miralayan Plateau began to collapse, as the Kingdom of X was utterly destroyed for resisting Galkhai. With the destruction of the kingdom, and the mass migration of Jovic peoples, the cultural makeup and traditional power structure of the plateau shifted towards a more Mahavo-centric identity. X

1942 Revolution and Counter-revolution

By 1942, Balkism had become popular amongst the urban populations of Ö, leading for calls to end the backwards practice of monarchy. X. In Spring of 1942, emboldened by the victory of pro-democracy militias in Temay the year prior, various Balkists and other pro-democracy groups launched the Ö Revolution. The capital of X was quickly occupied with little resistance, and the King offered to negotiate with the revolutionaries. X. The traditional clans and nobility of Ö, angry with the incompetence of the King and his willingness to negotiate with the revolutionaries, launched the Ö Counter-revolution later that year.
