TW: Sexism, Slavery.

Premise: What is Nodland? Not a pretty place, it is actually a shitty, horrible place to live, especially as a guy.

Luckily, you are a student in the Imperial Academy of Andalucia in the capital of Shariz, or not. Can even be a soldier, see, things have gone to hell ever since Criana was discovered, you just were invited by the Rector of the Imperial Academy. She likes to invite people. She's good people.

Apparently, some crazed theocrat has been kidnapping Terrans to reverse engineer our mecha design.

This led the UN to deploy mechas in Shariz as part of a peacekeeping force, such as the venerable Scopedog, to balance power among factions and enforce order.

Then came the issue: Terran ideas spread throughout collapsing Andalucia, fueling widespread revolutions. Trujillo had beheaded their king, and the citizen army defeated the Sancta Sedes.

Amid the chaos, a small raiding band of Nodlanders entered the Imperial Capital of Shariz to raid, defying the prophecy that Nadja, the Dāneshmāt of the tribe, had warned them about.

They never listened to her, or else she wouldn't have gotten captured and dragged back to Nodland. It is a freezing, frozen wasteland.

After the warband returned from a successful raid, she distributed loot to her women as prizes: gold, silk, and especially male slaves. This custom traces back to the War of the Sisters, fought between the Nodlanders and Andalucia about 2,000 years ago.

The breaking point was a religious reinterpretation of men's role in society. The Nodlanders, fundamentalists with a narrow worldview, responded by going to war and fighting brutally.

Andalucia would've collapsed if it weren't for the Imperial Army of Andalucia. These men took up arms to earn their freedom.

Life is hard for men in Andalucian society, but as you saw, it is improving. In contrast to Nodland, men here were used for labor or sexual relief, as women considered them beneath them, following a religious decree about the divine order.

Luckily, in Criana, a djinn plots mischief for these Nodlander Fayyin.Nodland
It is a tribal confederation ruled by the krug. This is who votes in the krug who are called Khānum. They vote to elect the Ilkhānum who leads them in war to conduct raids and acquire vast treasures and slaves. Yeah, slavery is an important facet of their society. This is why Andalucians call them savages (Yup, Criana Dark Elves are not the slaving ones unlike other Dark Elves in fiction I'd guess).

Additional Characters:

Nadja - the Dāneshmāt or Wise Woman, who warned of a doom that would befall the tribe if the raid happened. She is far more concerned with the survival of the Nodland people. and takes her job as dāneshmāt seriously.

Hilda Adler - the Khānum of the Krug, a loyal subordinate of Sabine, a very simple minded woman who respects violence. She prides herself in ascending to her station through merit, as Nodlanders value and respect strength.

Commentary: Heya this was a bot that I ended up doing like a lot more with this bot and figured I should get this published. So yeah, go and like reform Nodland for the better. She acts funny due to the spell, and you got fun things I added in like vellum, not a good practice.
