Full description

The chachek handed down through the generations of Ursus' rulers. Its present holder is without a question the current Emperor of Ursus, Fyodor Ivanovich[sic]. Owing to Ursus' military tradition, this chachek is akin to a crown or scepter, a mark of Ursus imperial power. The cast for every blade of the Ursus Royal Guards is modeled after this one, this signifying the Royal Guard's status as the absolute embodiment of the will of Ursus, the sight of a Royal Guard blade equivalent to being graced by the Emperor's presence.

Long before the War of the Four Nations, Ursus plied their profound military power to occupy a vast swathe of land in Terra's north. However, the frigid colds and the soil poor for farming there meant Ursus was persistently on the lookout for a chance to forge south and attempt to wrest a chunk of territory from the nations below, serving as an entity for Ursus into Terra's centrum, and even as the settling of a foundation in their strive for total hegemony of Terra's continent. The War of the Four Nations, then, was undoubtedly an opportunity they could not miss.

Due to their entry to the conflict being late and distant from Gaul, their battles were won, but Ursus did not obtain the spoils of war they anticipated. However, beyond their anticipation was that this war would foster a young, sickly prince into a star for the future, one of great heroic prowess. Once the prince—name of Uman Ivanovich[sic]—succeeded the throne, he displayed resourcefulness and long-term strategy far beyond the average person. Under his leadership, the war machines of the Empire of Ursus began to turn at full power, the nation's might rapidly developing alongside through its conflicts. Uman's[sic] place in the people's hearts has outstripped those of every Emperor, and by the strength of none but his own, he commenced what may be considered as Ursus' golden age.

However, following his demise, his successor Fyodor Ivanovich[sic] finds himself in an empire which has exhausted the dividends of war, and where internal strife remains incessant.

Trivia

  • "Chachek" is likely derived from "shashka" (шашка), a type of saber used by the Cossacks, with the Collectible resembling one.
