The Province of Lyukquar is an administrative region within [[Faneria]], spanning from the border of [[Haibnelann]] to the west, [[Connsmonan]] to the south, the (ocean) to the north, and (unnamed npc nation) to the north and east. It is inhabited by approximately fourteen million people and hosts a significant Protestant minority, with its economic sectors being dominated by timber, fishing, and tourism focused on the outer slopes of the [[Deamhainn]] mountains. The local Lyukqui minority is largely admixed with Fhainnin colonists, and [[Fhasen]] is the de facto Gaelic dialect. | The Province of Lyukquar is an administrative region within [[Faneria]], spanning from the border of [[Haibnelann]] to the west, [[Connsmonan]] to the south, the (ocean) to the north, and (unnamed npc nation) to the north and east.

The terrain of the territory is heavily defined by the Deamhainn Mountains and its northern coast, and as such varies from low-lying plains in the north to slowly sloped mountains in the south. The climate is typically chilly, and the area sees significant snowing during the winter, leaving port access during the deep winter months a question of luck, or, failing that, icebreaking. Its mountainous areas typically retain snow well into the spring, feeding numerous rivers that host the majority of the local settlements and significant fish stocks. The mountainous areas are heavily wooded in most places by pines, and make for a reliable, although not world-renowned, skiing and winter sports destination. The countryside is somewhat sparsely populated, and the region is not known for is farming culture, though potatoes and other hardy vegetables do grow reasonably well. Some segments of the lithosphere present are volcanic, but no serious eruptions have occurred within the last several centuries and none are predicted within the foreseeable future. Earthquakes and mudslides, as well as avalanches in the higher areas, are fairly commonplace and programs to mitigate the damages of these events are a significant social and political issue within the area. | The terrain of the territory is heavily defined by the Deamhainn Mountains and its northern coast, and as such varies from low-lying plains in the north to slowly sloped mountains in the south.

Lyukquar is roughly two-thirds ethnic Fhainnin or mixed Fhainnin, with the local Lyukqui being a mixed Gaelic-Coscivian people speaking a pidgin language. The region has less than three percent foreign residents, and is the poorest province of Faneria per capita when company holdings are not accounted for. The cities generally are dominated by Catholics and the irreligious, and the countryside is populated roughly equally by pagans, Catholics, and Protestants. Pagan communities primarily live in the lower Deamhainns, while the protestant towns are mainly situated on the rivers. Catholic outposts are most common on the coastal belt and along rail lines, often putting them in proximity to Protestant communities, which suffered serious depletion due to conversions and emigration until the 1910s. | |||

Peace negotiations occurred after the Grand Duke was killed by one of his sons, (name here), who was given rulership of the Vicariate of Lyukquar in the throne's name and spent the next twenty years piecing together the remaining areas of Lyukquar to enforce that legal fiction as a de-facto king in his own right. During the [[Sutharine Succession Crisis]], he was a staunch supporter of the Suthar-Màrtainn line, converted from the local (protestant type here) sect to Catholicism, and ensured his Vicariate was awarded with trade and legal privileges beyond most Vicariates and dubbed a 'subservient state' rather than a formal territory of Faneria. | Peace negotiations occurred after the Grand Duke was killed by one of his sons, (name here), who was given rulership of the Vicariate of Lyukquar in the throne's name and spent the next twenty years piecing together the remaining areas of Lyukquar to enforce that legal fiction as a de-facto king in his own right.
