The Province of Lyukquar is an administrative region within [[Faneria]], spanning from the border of [[Haibnelann]] to the west, [[Connsmonan]] to the south, the [[Kilikas Sea]] 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 [[Kilikas Sea]] 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 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 Dhearg (Red) River and Snaiht (Carved) Rivers form the major watersheds of the area, along with Bronn's River (Abhainn na Bronn) forming the boundary with Haibnelann and the _____ | 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. | ||

Lyukquar's largest economic sectors are fishing and timber, followed by wood products, canning, and light industry in the form of several parts and lens manufacture plants. Its economy is growing slower than most areas of Faneria, and wealth inequality is increasing as companies move in and play a larger part of business in the region. Small businesses are stable in the area, as is employment, but the natural resources and logistics of the location make industrialization less than optimal for the private market, leaving available jobs primarily in the blue-collar range. | Lyukquar's largest economic sectors are fishing and timber, followed by wood products, canning, and light industry in the form of several parts and lens manufacture plants.

The region was first integrated into Faneria during the [[Tundra Wars]], a series of campaigns spanning over three decades by the Kingdom of the Fhainn to annex the Grand Duchy of Lyukquar and the Kingdom of Reothadt. Following a march through the Deamhainn Mountains, the Royal Army met up with Vicarial troops after sacking several cities, battering the Lyukqui in a series of battles and taking the capital for a second time in 1703. | The region was first integrated into Faneria during the [[Tundra Wars]], a series of campaigns spanning over three decades by the Kingdom of the Fhainn to annex the Grand Duchy of Lyukquar and the Kingdom of Reothadt.

The annexation of Lyukquar was considerably more difficult than Haibnelann, which had been annexed only a little over a decade prior, and the land was slowly converted from a shattered frontier region into two Military Governates, Lyukquar Astaigh and Lyukquar Searastaigh, by 1712. By then the [[Sutharine Succession Crisis]] had begun with the births of Sear Mari's sickly triplet sons, and the region became a hotbed of uprising as war raged in the south, with the eventual victory of the Suthar-Màrtainn line leading to a crackdown. | The annexation of Lyukquar was considerably more difficult than Haibnelann, which had been annexed only a little over a decade prior, and the land was slowly converted from a shattered frontier region into two Military Governates, Lyukquar Astaigh and Lyukquar Searastaigh, by 1712.

Lyukquar's pair of military governments were granted Vicarial status in 1856.
