Editing Ang Ri

A [[Jeweled Amber]] file
-------------
Ang Ri is a popular world in the Black Zone.  It is a signatory kingdom of the [[Black Zone Pact Instrument]].

==Cosmology==
==Governance==
There is no central government. However there are hundreds of groups that think they are the Fed, or federal government.  All are wrong, but telling them that fact starts fights and wars.  In general they all have vested interests in thinking secretly that they are the central authority about something and everyone else knows it. .


 
HOWEVER, all these groups are scared crackers out of the '''Courts of Chaos'''. Someone once controlled enough of Ang Ri to try and sign a [[ BZPI]] and reep the rewards. Luckily no one in the Office of Diplomacy of Chaos is any more organized then the Empire of Soya I Saret was.


Azcalan looms like a dark yellow sun only a few shadows away and it influences politics and cuisine.

Amber is the great giant bogey man that is out there and no one wants to piss it off.


Regor is a highly xenophobia world yet it does extensive trade trade in almost everything. The height of diplomacy and style is serving Regorian caviar.

Agents or refugees from Cynasure and a hundred other travesties of life run their own Federal Governments on Ang Ri.

Ang To tries to balance them all and hopes no one does anything stupid.

In the mean time, word is spreading that a shadow of the pattern of Amber has arrived on Ang Ri, for better or catastrophically worse.

That's ''GOVERNANCE" on Ang Ri.

==Commerce and Industry==
The great city-state of GjYfil is a hub of life in Ang Ri.  It has almost everything. Centers for most corporations or governance organizations. It has the world-wide professional central Grand Arena that seats over 500,000 people and plays host to most professional entertainment venues.  This includes the [[WC&LGA]], the [[CHI]], The [[Troydet Races]],[[xxx]], [[xxx]] & the mighty [[Dragon Wing Races]].

==Entertainment==
===[[Warrior Core and Lord Gladiators Association]]===
[[File:Warriorgrades1.jpg|600 px]] [[File:Lordgladiator1.jpg|600 px]]

Ang Ri subscribes to the multi-world Warrior Core and Lord Gladiators Association.  It practices all forms of the combat conventions. There are strong distinctions between participants of various forms.  In general Blood Fight Rules[[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Warrior_Core_and_Lord_Gladiators_Association#Blood_Fight_Rules]] are only common at the Rank Gladiator and Lord Gladiator level.  

Challenges for one of the 150 seats of a Lord of the Game are always Death Match Rules, though a defeated Lord can be resurrected honorably but does not retain his seat. Few defeated Lords of the Games ever retake a seat.

===[[CHI]]===
The CHI is essentially a vast series of races composed of any people using chariots, often to the death. Its a 4 day event in the Main arena.  Competitors are victors from regional CHI races.

===The [[Troydet Races]]===
Much like Council of the wing, the '''''Troydet''''' or '''''Lizard people''''' hold multi tier races using a variety riding beasts to pick leaders to handle racial troubles.

===[[]]===
===[]]===
===[[Dragon Wing Races]]===
Championships in speed and acrobatics involving all Members of the [[Council of the Wing-Ang Ri]]

The rules are that the race has two parts: Distance & Display.

All 13 regional victors, 4 competitors voted on by the citizenry of Ang Ri, and 3 competitors forced to participate on the day of the race, line up at the red line of the areana. The race to the markers across the continent and back to the areana is the distance portion.  

In the arena each loop they have time to do acrobatic display. The cheers of the crowd denote the victor each round. Victory in a round has perks of many types spread out over the years. Food, priority, Mating Rights, Council veto, council votes, and others.

The race continues till each competitor is eliminated. The distance portion may include short wing fights. Wing fights in the arena are allowed when only 8 remain and last only to first blood.  Pulling out of the race is considered dishonorable and effects all the dragon's affairs till the next Arena Race.


The two finalists are declared '''Consels''.

The two losers have their tails amputated and ceremonial eaten that evening at the Victory Dinner. They must with draw from public life till their tails grow back. With magic no less the two years.  Sometimes as much as twenty. Or up to centuries if someone magically hinders healing.

==Governmental Groups and Religious Groups==
There are hundreds of governmental groups and no central government.

There are thousands of religious groups represented in the games.

==Stories Concerning Ang Ri==


==='''As discussed in the [[Diners of Amber]] article by Prince Bleys of Amber.'''===

I have visited Ang Ri twice. Both times in order to prepare comments for these decks. That will do.

Ang Ri is a Black Zone world and a signatory kingdom of the [[Black Zone Pact Instrument]]. The kingdom is a vicious, deadly place where life is cheap.

This shadow is in a sword age and a wizard's age. As with most such places there is a wild danger to traveling here. The predominant life form is human but many humans do not end their lives as human. Lycanthropy is rampant. Magical initiations and chaos effects warp forms. Animals merge with men. Form is mutable. Dragons are a frequent presence and the Council of the Wing oversees and often violently vetoes what governments exist here.

Subsistence farming and isolated enclaves and sparse city-states dot this realm. Trade is dangerous but portal ways provide a degree of security for merchants.

Magic abounds this close to chaos. Everything works.

Here is one comment in favor of the city-state of GjYfil, which is where the trump delivers you. The region around this massive tent city is rolling hills sparsely speckled with the [[Unsat]] trees[[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Unsat#Unsat_Trees]]. There is a cooking area called Ganli's Pits. They make a weird meal I might have to stop by for again. The trees have a thick, pear like fruit with a distinctively honey taste that are a full yard across. The livestock can be called cow-like, despite their bulbous faces and 20 tiny legs, because the meat is beef-like. When I asked them what they called these animals they said they had no name. Gotta love Chaos for not cluttering up the language.

So what they do is take the fruit and the beef-like things and cut them into 1/2" thick, 1' wide, 3' long slabs. They then marinade them in a vat the contents of which all looked benign enough. Spices, oils, onions, are tossed into the pits to keep the marinade fresh. The slabs stay in them for a day or so. Then they remove them and roll one of each together with marinated onions between the layers. This tube is wrapped in Unsat leaves, which apparently are immune to fire, and they pitch them into a fire pit. Hours later they remove it and slice it to serve.

The result is exotic, but pleasing. Onions add a nice division between meat and fruit. I don't know if this dish will find its way to Random's table but I would bet credits to navy beans that Swayvill has eaten it.


''I recently had to go here for purposes not necessarily pertinent to this article. Once there I went through a series of trials and tribulations which included an encounter with a weapon-master. This guy used a weapon he called a Deathwheeler. It was a pike on the back end, and on the front business end was three rows of curved knives. 4 curved up and forward, 4 curved down and backward, 4 in the center curved right and 4 in the center curved right. A pike point stuck straight forward. The knives spun somehow. The damn thing looked deadly as all heck. They have ones that don't magically spin. They have armies using it. Scary...

''Another thing i learned about Ang Ri is that it was originally four other worlds, each very different except for having similar lifeforms. Not existing in a rational universe of stars and physics, but in the waves of variations that culminates in the Stuff of Chaos, four separate worlds at various point came into contact and instead of erupting in shards of ruined worlds they melted together like flavored butters. Now, centuries or millennia later, the cultures have grown together too. It explains a lot about the way the people in this world interact.
