Dalmaghar: Difference between revisions

[[Dalmaghar]] (in full, ''the Islands of Dalmaghar'') is a [[MBE|Morstaybishlian overseas territory]] in the North Concordian Ocean. It is approximately 210 km (124 mi) north-east of Genosha[[Meremaa]]. Though it is typically referred to in the singular, Dalmaghar consists of 51 islands; the largest of these islands is known as Main Island and Lanis Island, the second biggest island which is approximately 3km across shares a land border with [[Norgsveldet]]. The capital of Dalmaghar is Riberoe. Great Morstaybishlia retains responsibility for defence and foreign relations. As of May 2020, it has a population of 90,443. It is 250.9km² in size.

Dalmaghar was taken over by the emerging Morstaybishlian Empire from the [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian Empire]] in the late 1690s1760s. It was used as a central hub for its strategic location and immunity to invasion. It has remained a pivot point for the MBE after the [[Great War]] for exerting somewhat of a fraction of its remnant influence within the area. After the [[Auroran Imperial War]], Morstaybishlia and Norgsveldet forged a military treaty which gives Norgsveldet access to Glasgore Garrison in return for four months of training on Mount Kessna's ridge a year. Norgsveldet remains a naval presence as a deterrent for any invasion. The [[RAFOTE]] also holds a large army presence of approximately 4,100.

In the latemid 17th18th century Dalmaghar had been seized from the Norgsveltian Empire and Morstaybishlia sought to seize the remaining island outposts surrounding Main Island. In 16951773, two Morstaybishlian ships engaged a small Norgsveltian ship, a battery and two dozen soldiers and took control of the island. Under threat from a revenge invasion, Morstaybishlia built on their seized battery on Heimsan Cape by upgrading it. The same year they built another on East Point, the easternmost rocky outcroppings and established a barracks in their new Lanisbury settlement.

The easternmost of the island has no permanent settlement and is open heathlands. On the small Ernst Cape at Fegis Cove there is a large red and white [[wikipedia:Daymark|daymark]], erected in 16891789 by Ghenner Ernst. It is a rendered granite circular tower 4.8 metres (16 ft) in diameter and 6.4 metres (21 ft) high, set back to conical termination making it 11 metres (36 ft) high. It was painted white until 1838 but by 1845 had been painted red, and is now painted in bands of red and white. Despite its modernity, the daymark, alongside some prehistoric cairns, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Lanis has three churches: In Lanisbury it has a [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] and [[Asatru]] temple and in Fegistry a small Thaerist temple. St Eves in Lanisbury dates back to 17011791. Dalmaghar held a series of surveys in Lanis in 2010, 76% of people are ethnically mixed Morstaybishlian and Dalmakhan, 20% are Norgsveltian and the other 4% are MeremainZalian ([[Meremaa]]).
