History Characters / EquestriaAtWarZebrica

* CivilWar: By game start, Hindia is divided into four independent states: the Doelhi Confederation and Barasingha ruled by native Hindians and the Yarildoms of Chital and Sambar ruled by an elite descended from Olenian immigrants. When the Hindian Wars erupt, they will form two rival blocs, the pro-Olenian Deerlaw Restorationists and the pro-Hindian All-Hindian National Bloc. After one side is defeated, the other bloc will also collapse and its members start fighting each other until only one is left.

->'''Full Name:''' Free City of Klugetown, Free Trade Zone (regional unification)

* LandOfOneCity: Klugetown is a city-state whose territory consists of the city itself and little else. The Free Trade Zone is the nation they found when they conquer all their surrounding territories.

* TotalitarianGangsterism: In Klugetown, the state apparatus has been completely supplanted by organised crime, to the point that unhappy citizens turn to the crime bosses for recourse. This can potentially expand to the entire region if Klugetown conquers all its rivals and establishes the Free Trade Zone.

* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: During their civil war, the Eternal Doctrine doubles down on Tambelon's special magic mechanics (gaining access to exclusive monsters, spells and monstrous equipment), while the Path of Now and Forever reconsiders Grogar's stance on technology and reindustrialises their territory (gaining access to basic factories and research).

* EldritchAbomination: Grogar is treated and summoned as one in-universe, and is a Cthulhu-like figure who can only be summoned when the stars align on a specific date - that is, 9 September 1009.

* TakeOverTheWorld: Grogar's goal is to restore goatocratic rule across the entire world. As part of its initial focus tree, Tambelon declares war on every Zebrican country; after conquering the whole continent, it will have to fight off the entire rest of the world, as every other country declares war on Tambelon, making it one of the two countries (the other being the Dread League) that can do a world conquest run without having to justify war goals.

* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: One of the most authoritarian rulers in the entire mod, Grogar intends to create a worldwide dictatorship where all have fallen and all answer to him alone, and only him. Interestingly, he simultaneously views it as UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans, since he not only sees his tyranny as necessary to prevent the Sirens from enslaving anyone else or anyone else from ever enslaving goatkind, and the goats' everyday lives in Tambelon is comfortable and fulfilling... but the catch is that Grogar ''doesn't'' see any non-goats as people at all.

* FantasticRacism: Grogar is a massive, massive racist who despises all non-goat creatures, even his loyal troggles, and calls any goat that goes after him a race traitor. He intends to purify the world by either enslaving all non-goats, or murdering them. Grogar personally divides all non-goat species into 'animals' (for him to create monsters with), 'filth' (civilian non-combatants), 'threats' (enemy combatants), and goatkind.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Even setting aside the bizarre set of circumstances necessary to play it, Tambelon has some truly odd mechanics. They don't engage in any kind of research or construction, presumably due to Grogar's rejection of all modern technology in favor of magic, and handles all division recruitment through a special minigame involving harvesting Biomass from territory while utilizing crystals to supply monsters with equipment. They also have no conventional spy service, but after completing a focus for tuning Grogar's crystal ball he can see all over the world anyway, and their units tend to have very small goatpower requirements, although recruiting more is a challenge. It even extends to base [=HOI4=] components - Tambelon's focus trees have no branches at all and a bizarre radial structure unlike anything else in the mod, and Grogar is the only leader to have ''written his own in-game biography.''
* {{Mooks}}: Long ago, Grogar enslaved a race of orc-like beings called troggles, who serve the goats of Tambelon as SlaveMooks. Though most serve the goats faithfully, one of them helps the bearers of the Elements of Harmony when they launch a six-woman (and one dragon) assault on Grogar personally, along with other like-minded troggles

* SecretCharacter: Azir does not appear on the interesting countries screen (which, as a rule, displays all countries that got new or reworked content in the latest major patches) and is not mentioned in the changelog of the patch in which it was added (with the only hint being a goat emoji). A perceptive player might notice that Azir does not have a focus tree at all, not even the generic one shared by all contentless Zebrican countries. Indeed, when starting a game as Azir, you will not receive the warning event that fires for all contentless or outdated countries, but you still need to wait until 12 October 1008 (22 months after game start) before the first event in Tambelon's event chain fires, and will only receive your focus tree on 9 September 1009. On a technical level, the data related to Tambelon's events, focuses and mechanics is even scattered all over otherwise-unrelated files to prevent discovery through data-mining, which makes it a bit ambiguous how many of the crashes on a NonStandardGameOver are intentional artistic choices and how many are the result of this jury-rigged setup.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Spots a very prominent and very scary pair of these.

* CurbStompBattle: Grogar's armies and magic are designed to be so powerful that every single nation that fights him is almost certain to lose. He can instantly create new units, spark famines, and ''mass nuke provinces'' with little to no cost, and even wipe a random enemy unit out of existence with a single decision.

* EvilVirtues: Grogar doesn't use money and instead pays goatkind by providing them with everything needed for a comfortable life, creating the interesting side effect where most goats who pursue a life of leisure and luxury get bored with it and return to working, where they find happiness. Goatkind is always kind, courteous and civil to one another, likely helped by how Grogar punishes any bullying or cruelty with AndIMustScream as an example. Even disobedience is not met with total intolerance - Rachel being caught with technology and her grief at having her new office destroyed as punishment is greeted with sympathy by the attack team, one who suggests that she become a biomancer and offers to help her get there. In general, Tambelon is a very pleasant and happy place to live for goats. The only downside is that they're horrific racists who believe that all 'sub-goat scum' must be enslaved or subjected to genocide.

* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: One of the most authoritarian rulers in the entire mod, Grogar intends to create a worldwide dictatorship where all have fallen and all answer to him alone, and only him.

* MakerOfMonsters: Known and feared as the 'Father of Monsters', Grogar is a master biomancer who gave life to the foulest of creatures and allowed them to run wild, taking what they wanted and destroying the rest.

* ShoutOut: A race of traumatized former slaves decides on the cruel necessity of enslaving all other sapient life as the only way to ever truly be certain of their hard-won freedom, only to fracture in civil war between those satisfied with this new status quo and those demanding a FinalSolution. Tambelon is clearly inspired by the Ur-Quan Hierarchy of ''VideoGame/StarControlII''; the respective factions are even called the Path of Now and Forever and the Eternal Doctrine.

In general, Tambelon is a very pleasant and happy place to live for goats. The only downside is that they're truly horrific racial supremacists who sincerely believe that all creatures are sub-goat scum, and should either be enslaved or not allowed to live.
