Description: 


At the outskirts of the Bristonian islands lies Ortwick, keeping the gloomy Vicarian secrets hidden from the rest of the world.


Time seems to have stopped in this region, forever stuck between medieval and current times, so it is between Gaullois and Bristonian cultures, even though Ordovicians have a culture of their own, their language has been slowly influenced by both their neighbors across the sea.


Many citizens from Atlatonia and Ackacqua can trace their origins to this island nation thanks to an old imperial drive to fill in the new world with ethnicities orbiting the Bristonian sphere of influence, the strongest prefectures and states with Ordovician diaspora are Katsuka, Ogwaiden, Intermontania and Quanash, and Autumnmark, Owlton and Geraldina in Atlatonia.


Even though it was such an intimate relation with Bristonia, Ortwick doesn’t directly belong to the Royal Union; they were annexed very recently into their collection of colonies, unlike the other similar nations like Walia, Galway or Éirann.


The Ortwickish flag bears black and white as the national colors in horizontal stripes with four coins in the corners, representing the Ordovician diaspora, spread out in the four corners of earth, while in the center a golden four legged triskelion is displayed. This is a stylized version of a caltrop, commonly used in the past to deter foreign invaders from invading Ortwickish castles and towns, some people call it a Quadriskelion or Tetraskelion.
