Nail
"Nail of Heaven" The Nail of Heaven is the northern star that, aside from being the brightest in the night sky (it is sometimes visible in daylight), provides the axis from which all other stars revolve. The Nonmen called it ‘ Imburil ’, meaning ‘the Newborn ’. According to the tenets of Inrithism , Inri Sejenus ascended to the Nail of Heaven after his death in 2202.

Nature

One night the star suddenly blazed with a strange, sudden intensity. This waxing lasted a time and then abated. The Cûnuroi could not explain it, but then dismissed it as a curiosity and moved on with their lives. Three years after this curious event, the Incû-Holoinas fell down. This may mean that the Nail of Heaven is not an actual star but rather a wormhole Incû-Holoinas came through or even a mother-ship with Incû-Holoinas being a drop-ship. The fact that Nonmen call this star 'Newborn' support either of this.

His defeat of the Scintya in 1408 led to the founding of Kûniüri and began what most scholars regard as the longest-reigning dynasty in recorded history. Over the course of his long life (he lived to the age of 178, the reputed result of the Nonman blood in his veins), Nanor-Ukkerja I extended Kûniüri to the Yimaleti Mountains in the north, to the westernmost coasts of the Cerish Sea in the east, to Sakarpus in the south, and to the Demua Mountains in the west. At his death, he divided this empire between his sons, creating Aörsi and Sheneor in addition to Kûniüri proper.

Nansur
"Nansur Empire" The Nansur Empire was a nation of the Three Seas and self-proclaimed inheritor to the Ceneian Empire . At the height of its power the Nansur Empire extended from Galeoth to Nilnamesh , but it was much reduced by centuries of warfare against the Fanim Kianene . Though the Nansur Empire had witnessed its fair share of usurpers, palace revolts, and short-lived military dictatorships, it had enjoyed a remarkable degree of dynastic stability. It was under the Trimus Emperors (3411-3508) that the "Nansur" (the traditional name for the district surrounding Momemn ) emerged from the chaos following Cenei 's destruction to unify that Kyranae Plains . But true Imperial expansion did not occur until the Zerxei Dynasty (3511-3619), which, under the rule of successive and short-lived Emperors, managed to conquer Shigek (3539), Enathpaneah (3569), and the Sacred Lands of Xerash and Amoteu (3574). Under the Surmante Emperors (3619-3941), the Nansurium enjoyed its greatest period of growth and military ascendancy, culminating in the rule of Surmante Xatantius I (3644-3693), who subdued the Cepaloran tribes as far north as the River Vindauga , and who even managed to capture the ancient Nilnameshi capital of Invishi , thus very nearly restoring all the so-called Western Empire that had once belonged to Cenei. But his practice of debasing the talent in order to finance his endless wars fairly wrecked the empire's economy. By the time Fan'oukarji I embarked on his White Jihad in 3743, the empire still had not recovered from Xatantius's excesses. His Surmante descendents found themselves embroiled in never-ending wars they could ill afford, let alone win. Scarce resources and an intransigent commitment to the Ceneian model of warfare, which seemed incapable of coping with Kianene tactics, conspired to render the empire's decline an inevitability. The dynasty of the most recent claimants to the Imperial Mantle, the Ikurei, arose as the result of a coup brought about by the turmoil following the loss of Shigek to the Kianene in 3933 (in the so-called Dagger Jihad of Fan'oukarji III ). A former Exalt-General, Ikurei Sorius I reorganized both the Imperial Army and the empire, changes that allowed him and his descendants to defeat no fewer than three full-scale Fanim invasions. The Nansur Empire had enjoyed a precarious stability ever since, though it remained continually fearful of the prospect tht the Scylvendi tribes might unite once again . It was conquered by Anasûrimbor Kellhus during the unification wars of the New Empire shortly after 4112 and the fall of Shimeh .

Parallels

The Nansur Empire appears to have been inspired by the real-world Byzantine Empire . Like the Byzantine Empire, the Nansur Empire shared its religion, Inrithism (the parallel to Christianity), with the Holy War (the parallel to the Crusades) but, like the Byzantine emperors, the Nansur emperors have a complex relationship with the undertaking of their co-religionist. Just like Nansur emperors assume the title of God of Men, Byzantine emperors frequently laid claim to the title of ἰσαπόστολος (the Equal of the Apostles).

"Couras Nantilla" Earl of Pikka, General of the Cengemi in the Great Ordeal.

Naree
Naree is a Nilnameshi Prostitute. She has a beautiful and dark face. As of the year 4132, Naree did not know her age, only that five years had passed since her flowering.

Story

Naree was raised a yitarissa , a ritual harem-slave popular among the Nilnameshi caste -nobility. Her owner possessed estates both in Invishi , where they wintered, and in the Hinayati Mountains , where they spent the plague months of summer. He was a gentle man and she loved him. However, when her first bleeding came, rather than sell her to a brothel, as was the fate of most yitarissa, her owner set her free. Almost immediately she became the mistress of another caste-noble, a trade representative who was sent to Momemn four years prior. He was the one who had purchased the yellow room and its sumptuous furnishings. Naree loved him as well, but when his year-long tenure expired, he simply moved his wife and household back to Invishi without saying a word. She began selling afterwards.

The White-Luck Warrior

When Maithanet takes over the Andiamine Heights , Imhailas takes Esmenet to hide in Naree's room where she works. While she's there Naree is visited by four different men. Out of fear for Imhailas' life, Naree begs Esmenet to find another place to hide. Imhailas returns and strikes Naree when he finds out that she's been taking custom in front of the Empress. He threatens to kill her but Esmenet reminds him that she had been a whore as well. Naree continues to take custom. When the Shrial Knights arrive to take Esmenet they kill Imhailas, and one of them, a Collegian , gives Naree five gold kellics and a silver to remember Esmenet by.

Nations

Eastern Three Seas

- Conriya is a Ketyai nation in the eastern Three Seas. Founded after the collapse of the Eastern Ceneian Empire , it is based around the ancient capital of Aoknyssus . Nowhere is the caste system more strictly enforced than in Conriya.
- Galeoth is a Norsirai nation on the northern edge of the Three Seas, founded by the descendants of the White Norsirai from the Apocalypse . Its capital is Oswenta , and its people have a reputation for fractitiousness and treachery.
- Ce Tydonn is a Norsirai nation of the Three Seas. It was founded after the collapse of the Ketyai nation of Cengemis , by wandering refugees from the Apocalypse. The Cengemi are now tributary to the Tydonni, a hardened people who view themselves as racially superior to all others.
- Thunyerus is a young Norsirai nation of the Three Seas, whose barbarian people are raiders at sea. It was founded through a bond of Thunyeri tribes, and it only recently converted to Inrithism .
- High Ainon is the dominant Ketyai nation of the eastern Three Seas. It was founded after the collapse of the Eastern Ceneian Empire and has been ruled by the Scarlet Spires for near a thousand years. Most populous on the continent, the Ainoni are a highly cultured people.

Western Three Seas

- The Nansur Empire is a Ketyai nation of the western Three Seas and the inheritor of the enormous Ceneian Empire. At the height of its power, the Nansur Empire extended from Galeoth in the north to Nilnamesh in the south, but it has been much reduced by centuries of warfare against the Fanim of Kian.
- Kian is the most powerful Ketyai nation of the western Three Seas by far. Alone in the Three Seas, its religion is Fanimry. Extending from the southern frontier of the Nansur Empire all the way to Nilnamesh, Kian was founded relatively recently and expanded through conquest.

Nau-Cayûti
"Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti" Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti (“Blessed Son” in Ûmeritic) officially was the youngest son of Anasûrimbor Celmomas II and his wife Suriala . But perhaps he was a bastard child of Seswatha and the Queen. Nau-Cayûti was famed for his heroism and martial brilliance during the dark days after the fall of Aörsi (2136), when the nation of Kûniüri stood alone against the menace of the Consult . He rose to fame in the Battle of Ossirish , where he routed the Consult forces and personally killed the dragon Tanhafut the Red . After this, he became popularly known as Murswagga, the Dragonslayer. Many of his exploits are recounted in The Sagas . His last great deed was infiltrating Golgotterath itself, together with his mentor and possible father Seswatha, where they stole the mysterious Heron Spear . This daring exploit was motivated by Nau-Cayûti’s desperate desire to rescue his favorite concubine, Aulisi . Mandate commentators dispute the account found in The Sagas, where they successfully return with both Aulisi and the Heron Spear, claiming that Aulisi was never found. Nau-Cayûti died shortly after the theft of the Heron Spear. According to The Sagas, he was murdered with poison by his wife, Iëva .

In The White-Luck Warrior

Visions into the past, received by Drusas Achamian through Seswatha’s Dreams , suggested that the poison merely paralyzed him. Iëva was in reality working for the Consult, and made sure to bury her husband alive rather than burning him. Nau-Cayûti was then exhumed from his grave by Aurang and taken as a prisoner to Golgotterath.

In The Unholy Consult

Nau-Cayuti later embraced the Consult's vision after viewing the Inverse Fire; nonetheless the Consult used his soul to create the No-God by placing him in the Carapace.

He tells Achamian to discover whether the Holy War will be waged against the Schools or against the Fanim. After the meeting, he meets with Polchias Simas and reveals that they had already known that the Fanim will be the targets of the Holy War and expresses some regret for lying to Achamian. Simas assures him that lying was necessary to motivate Achamian, as they both find him to be weak. During the meeting, Nautzera is annoyed by Simas's friendly persona, believing it to be false.
