==History==

The history of the [[Ustves Golden Fall Grove]] is one that contrasts heavily with the tranquil nature of the region, with its towering tall trees having long, strong branches that have plenty of golden, wonderful, unique leaves on them, allowing the gleaming sun to peek in upon the relaxed, joyful wildlife roaming the area, being the smaller mammals, with the presence of larger mammals. Overall, there was a sense of serenity in the atmosphere and a pleasant appearance to the landscape, which is what a king called Yefin Stepanov of [[Enta Rolling Hills]] used as justification for making the whole region his own garden.

Due to the fact that there were no inhabitants besides the wildlife, Yefin Stepanov decided that he had the right to claim the whole of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove for himself, and since nobody initially stopped him from doing so the region became his own. Unbeknownst to him, the Ustves Golden Fall Grove was used by many nearby villages for natural resources such as wood and food, so when he took control of it the inhabitants of these settlements – especially the poorer members – realised that they had lost access to this source of nourishment, and at first chose to peacefully ask him to let them have a small section or at least an allowance so that they could survive.

However, due to his greedy nature, the king did not let them have any access to the Ustves Golden Fall Grove and sealed it off, making a very clear border and making sure that there were troops patrolling at all times to look out for trespassers. Additionally, the upkeep of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove was done by botanists and gardeners specifically chosen by king Yefin Stepanov, who would make sure that the trees were all surviving and that there was enough wildlife for the king to hunt when he went on excursions to the area for relaxation and pleasure.

Eventually, there came a time when the nearby villages had reached their limits in terms of how aggravated they were by the fact that the monarchy of the [[Ightuit Tribal Zu'aan|Ightuit]] people (in other words the kings and queens of Enta) were not allowing anybody but the royal family to use the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, and hence – working alongside royal gardeners who feared for the beauty of the region being lost – staged a coup as well as many strikes, which infuriated the monarch at the time. In a fit of rage, troops were sent to attack the region until the rulers of the Ightuit people realised that they would not win against the opposing forces, so threatened to burn down the Ustves Golden Fall Grove.

However, many were shocked by such rash decisions and many in the monarch’s council were against this, so opposed the rulers which led to the execution of many respectable, influential figures. Yet, the royal family met their end when they had killed off most of their council members, and eventually, the Ustves Golden Fall Grove was free for everyone to use again, with a small group called the D’nyseng clan forming that would make sure the region was always safe.

==Psychology==

Due to the peaceful, serene nature of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, most of those that found themselves within it were able to relax and find pleasure in residing within it. Additionally, the people who utilised the area for their survival would often be in very great moods due to the fact that there was such an abundance of flora and fauna, with the range of wildlife feeding on the plants and therefore making themselves excellent quality for their predators, providing both meat and also useful furs or skins. Overall, there was an almost enchanting, entrancing effect that the tranquillity of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove would have on anyone in the region, making it the ideal place to go on an excursion and unwind the mind.

This was the justification that a king called Yefin Stepanov of Enta used for why he loved the region, and also gave him a desire to claim the whole location for himself, restricting its access from everyone. The result of this were tensions, as many feared that they would lose their source of food and other necessities in life since the monarch had had a reputation of closing off many places from people simply so that he could use those areas for his own pleasure, and hence the people from the nearby villages who depended on the area were determined to make sure this did not take place.

However, they were unsuccessful in doing so, since king Yefin Stepanov of Enta managed to make the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, putting the residents that neighboured the region into a state of fear and concern, as well as causing a few aggravations due to the unfair circumstances they were now troubled with.As time progressed, these feelings of annoyance, irritation, and frustration grew, reaching a point where the villagers soon formed a plan that they believed would allow them to easily escape this issue that they had had to face for generations.

And they believed that this could be found by bringing down the influence of the monarch of the Ightuit people from the inside of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove – they intended to get the gardeners and botanists that maintained the upkeep to rebel. Since they were very persuasive people, the villagers managed to sow doubt into the minds of these workers, causing them to fear for the beauty of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove being lost; after all, the monarch did not care much about the region as a whole as long as the places they enjoyed were still in good shape.

Filled with disobedience and defiance, these workers then staged coups and went on strikes, which resulted in severe disruption to the usually orderly nature within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove. Additionally, there was also another threat, which was the fact that the Ightuit monarch at the time threatened to have the whole grove burnt down if the rebels did not stop. Ultimately, this was the source of plenty of tension and anxiety from all factions, since the villagers feared losing the region forever and the monarch’s council were concerned that this decision would be too harsh and cause more harm than good.

However, the monarch was unsuccessful in achieving this, and the region was saved. Now, the newly formed D’nyseng people are calm people who embrace the peaceful nature of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, who also have a protective nature over the region, as a gardener does over their flowers.

==Culture==

The culture within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove took a very long time to arrive, for the influence of king Yefin Stepanov of Enta was very prevalent, as shown by the presence of plenty of his military personnel. It was very common to find army camps set up where these troops would stay, and these bases would often be decorated with plenty of banners and flags, displaying the insignia of the Enta royal family with pride, letting its dominance permeate in the air of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove. Additionally, there were also the teams of botanists and researchers within the region.

Who would work to make sure that everything was maintained by delivering scientific information to the royal gardeners and horticulturists, who would manage the upkeep of the region; all of these people would normally have a campsite with a designated spot for them to set up a tent as a place to stay, although if they were fortunate they could get a location which would have a small and shabby but improved wooden shack or hut. However, when the D’nyseng people came into power, this was all due to change, for they made sure that all residents would have an abode that was enough to protect the elements and durable, with wooden walls that were well-made and maintained, as well as repaired if any damages were ever made to it.

The food within the region has not changed much, although it can be argued that the wildlife is one of the most important factors in the region’s cuisine since many meals consist of meat and much more; the methods of cooking are often very similar, with the most popular being having it barbecued or cooked over a nice campfire – for the D’nyseng people this could be done indoors in their kitchen areas which would have furnaces intended for cooking food. There are also plenty of different plants present within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, such as the many nut trees and fruit trees that can be found.

Which play a huge part in the deserts that the people of the region consume; some of these deserts include cakes and pastries, for the residents were talented bakers. A revival of culture can be seen in the clothing worn by the D’nyseng people, for the clothing worn when the monarchy of Enta was in power would usually be quite patriotic or consist of outfits that are similar to the clothing found in the Enta Rolling Hills; this would usually be woollen clothing dyed with colours such as a grass green or a sky blue, often pricey in terms of cost.

However, the hunters that would hunt within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove for wildlife tended to wear simpler clothing made of durable leather, which may have sometimes been tanned or given a bit of colour, but not very bright tones. Since the monarchy of Enta is no longer in control, the D’nyseng people have chosen to return to the clothing that used to be worn in the region, and hence leather outfits are more popular and commonly observed.

==Government==

Initially, the Ustves Golden Fall Grove was not ruled by anybody, but free to use by all the neighbouring villages for the resources they required. Whilst the regulations were not very strictly enforced, there was ultimately a sense of mutual understanding between these settlements, and all of them worked together in some shape or form to make sure that the region was kept safe for everyone to use as long as they did not abuse it. As a result of this, nobody felt a need to set up a government within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, who would overlook what occurred within it.

And instead, the village leaders could put in their input into meetings and conferences, where they could discuss matters relating to both their own civilisations and also the woodland, detailing how it should be managed and organised so that it is forever sustainable for future generations. Then there came the time when king Yefin Stepanov of Enta sent his forces into the region alongside many researchers and botanists, where they admired the beauty of the Ustves Golden Fall Grove and desired to reside within it, which they were able to due to the nature of their work.

This resulted in the neighbouring village leaders being troubled (out of fear of losing their access to the region forever) but this did not affect king Yefin Stepanov of Enta in any way, and even made him more restrictive over the area by enforcing laws that would prevent those without permission from even entering the Ustves Golden Fall Grove – he supported this claim with military support. Additionally, there were severe punishments for trespassing, with a few of them being but not limited to fines (for first-time offenders), torture (for those who committed it again), and also executions; the justice system was seldom fair and just and would only be used by the monarchs of Enta to have more power.

After decades and decades of putting up with this treatment, the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages finally took a stand, and worked alongside gardeners that worked for the royal family in order to stage coups and form uprisings – the village leaders had finally come to the conclusion that someone should be present in the region who would make sure that it is sustained well and that everyone would be allowed to use it to get their fair share of natural resources. The result of this were threats to burn down the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, which evoked feelings of shock and horror, even for council members who worked for the monarch of Enta at the time.

In a fit of rage, the monarch of Enta went on to execute many members of their government in hopes of enforcing their authority, although they only managed to weaken themselves in doing so and that led to the downfall of the monarchy of Enta and the birth of a new group of residents called the D’nyseng people. To this day, the D’nyseng people rule the region, with its leader being a village leader that is elected annually, making sure that each village can have access to the Ustves Golden Fall Grove fairly and justly.

==Military==

The first presence of military forces in the Ustves Golden Fall Grove was that of king Yefin Stepanov of Enta, who were there to observe the botanists as well as make sure that there was no misconduct occurring, such as the theft of the monarch’s resources or any other possible crimes amongst the researchers that could occur; murder would sometimes take place in extreme circumstances due to jealousy or the plagiarism of work. These troops would have a uniform that would usually be a dark brown like the bark of a dark oak tree and have caps that were a shade of black, which would have an insignia on it indicating that they were a part of the armed forces of king Yefin Stepanov of Enta.

As for their weaponry, they would often have long swords with some troops also being trained in archery and would also be equipped at all times with a small, concealable knife, which they could use to protect themselves in the event of ambush attacks by leaving deep wounds in the assailants using the razor-sharp blade.One of the most noticeable instances of battle within the region is the fact that the neighbouring villages had a conflict with the monarch, for they often depended on the Ustves Golden Fall Grove for natural resources to survive, such as firewood and food from the flora and fauna.

The closest thing these villagers would have to a form of armed forces could be the hunters that they used to send into the area, for they would be skilled in making snares and also surviving in the wilderness; they would be well-equipped with knowledge of how to make a tent or shelter out of their surroundings, start campfires, hunt animals for food, what plants were edible, how to make water potable and much more. Additionally, they could arguably have been useful in combat due to the fact that they would know how to use a bow and arrow so could attack enemies from far distances, and their skills of camouflage and stealth during hunting could be useful during ambush attacks.

Working alongside rebellious gardeners and botanists who worked for the monarchs of Enta, they managed to overthrow the monarch’s rule by forcing the Enta armed forces out of the region using guerrilla warfare and allowing the D’nyseng people to become the new inhabitants. To this day, the D’nyseng people are still in power and feel a need to protect the Ustves Golden Fall Grove from invaders and any harm that it could face. In order to do this, they set up small units that would reside in tents spread out across the region, with the majority of them being on the outskirts so that the detection of invaders before they penetrated the region could occur.

Within these camps, there would usually be a leader who made sure that everything was managed and that all troops were disciplined, and the soldiers would be armed with weaponry that had been salvaged from overthrowing the rule of the Enta monarchy or purchased from foreign lands; this would consist mostly of swords and bows and arrows, with the concealable blades being an element that was still kept due to the security it could provide.

==Religion==

The faith of the hunters who depended on the Ustves Golden Fall Grove for their survival would believe in a few deities who they perceived would help them to survive – two of these include Aesis, God of the Hunt, and Xudite, Goddess of Hunting. Their belief with Aesis, God of the Hunt, was one where they felt that He would offer those who were pious the strength they required in order to go out on their hunts for food and make sure that these hunters managed to get the best animals and a substantial amount each trip; He was described as having two large antlers on His head as well as ears that were long.

And He was said to carry a huge bow engraved with godly insignia and sigils, with a quiver on His back that was said to be replenished by the believers who gave offerings of deerskins and the furs of other animals. As for Xudite, Goddess of Hunting, Her role was to send the animals to a type of paradise, where they could forever rest with all the luxuries they would have desired as a reward for living within the Ustves Golden Fall Grove and providing for the people who would hunt for food. The descriptions of Her mention how She would decorate Her hazelnut brown hair with flowers from the region that would be given to Her as offerings at many shrines.

And adorn a robe made from the skins and fur of animals, which She would receive in a similar manner to the way that Aesis, God of the Hunt, replenishes His quiver and clothing. Most believers would have a specified area, usually indicated by a shrine, where they could give these offerings in hopes of being blessed, and it was rumoured that the deities would take their gifts during the evenings when people were not around. As for the botanists that had been sent to research the Ustves Golden Fall Grove, many of them believed in one goddess called Nidite, Goddess of Nature.

Who they described as having hair that was a mossy, green colour that was similar to Her emerald, glowing eyes, which watched over the wildlife of Taerel. She was said to be the protector of all living beings within Taerel, and many botanists worshipped Her since She was one of the deities they could ultimately relate to due to their career, who they could ask for if they desired to do better and get promoted, reaching the highest statuses in their sectors. To show their commemoration, some of these researchers would have charms or necklaces that they believed could be used to invoke the presence of Nidite, Goddess of Nature.

There were also other deities worshipped by botanists, such as Nera, the Goddess of Nature who they felt would spread optimism and growth as well as prosperity, although the worshippers of Her could be more commonly found in the researchers sent to the [[Japer White Flowers Grove]]. To this day, the D’nyseng clan have religious views comprised of a mix of beliefs relating to all these different deities.
