About the countries. UPDATED
In Reincarnated to switch places, there are 4 main empires.
Snowdania, Arborea, Scarabia and Koun.
Snowdania like its name is super cold. Like Scandinavia or Russia in the more rural areas. The country is a monarchy although there is a senate that votes on matters of the state.
The current ruler is Empress dowager Maria who is acting as co- regent with Julius, who handles the military while she handles paperwork. This was due to the fact that he didn’t want to rule so early and wanting to continue overseeing the knights.
( Julius: GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! GUESS WHAT, I’M STILL STAYING!”
The knights: Cheering and clapping. Crying in joy
Lukas: They only didn’t want to be stuck with Sir Ivar the terrible.)
The late king’s concubines, wives and children were sent away to other parts of the continent on pension or back to their maiden homes.
Majoring in industrialisation. They are the richest in the northern continents, with a stable economy. They are on good term’s with other empires although the relationship with Koun has been strained since the new rule.
Lukas reputation there is amounted to the unseen princess. Which adds to the mystery. Many have sent letters and invitations to him but he rarely attends events with the exception for mandatory ones.
Beastias here are not frown upon on and slavery is banned. However there is also a heavy dislike of them with nobility holding racism views. These views are currently being challenged by the royals family own perspective of them so hopefully in time they will be happy.
Arborea, an empire situated in the west. It is popular with those who wish to find ingredients for potions, herbalists, biliogists etc.
Rules by King Edgar and Queen Mireda. Alexander’s reputation here is that of a royal beloved by his people. Gifted with brains, looks and strength. Its no wonder.
The empire makes good money with their well precise plans in both economy. These plans also took great part in their expansion as an empire. They are overall on good terms with the 3 empires with the exception of Koun whom they are hostile to.
Beastia’s are frown upon here with them being under slavery. Many hold racism views against them and its rare to see a beast with a well off background. This may be due to the Gejutel-Arborean war seven hundreds years ago, the resentment is still deep. Alexander is currently trying to change it.
There are no problems except for the succession crisis. Due to circumstances, King Edgar’s brother ,the first born heir and his wife passed away at the young age of 29 during a carriage accident leaving behind his son who was only four. This thus caused, a great rift in court debating whether or not the boy or Alexander should be the next in line for the throne.
(Courtier A: NO! PRINCE ALEXANDER SHOULD BE KING!
Courtier B: NO IT SHOULD BE THE DUKE!
*Queue childish fighting*)
Scarabia. An empire in the south. It is a well to do area rich in rare materials such as rare magic diamonds.
Ruled by King azizh. The royal family is comprised of numerous sons and daughters, with a great deal of branches. The people follow a strict code of conduct in which that no matter how evil they are, they must never fall prey to apep. The great serpent that nearly consumed them.
The royal family had led numerous hunts against it with over a million dying for the cause.
Reius reputation here is just that of a prince with direct lineage. However things might be amping up for him after the incident with the wedding.
(Reius: Eh! Does that mean I’m being more popular?
Everyone in the royal family: Kinda......)
Anyway, the country had great relations with everyone although they do tend to get a bit physical when faced with troublesome dealings.
Beastias are not frown upon and people happily co exist with them however they may face disadvantages but things are improving.
Koun. An empire that almost occupies the entire northern continent. It is a rising star amongst the four. Well to do with trade and such, they rely more on military warfare to get what they want.
Now ruled by empress Kim. The royal family’s number is far greater than any of the other four in that they can form their own army. Many die young due to their short life spans or family feuds. This has caused main family members to adopt people from the branch houses as a means to survive.
Hye gong’s reputation here is that of another prince in the family due to the high number but he doesn’t care one bit.
The family is also connected to the mafia, something that they don't wish to be involve in causing many to cut ties with the baek clan.
Unlike other families, theirs is ruled by the law of predator and prey. Yes hunger games vibe.
Beastias here co-exist with humans. Them, having no problem fitting in as well as the family having a 50% beastia population.
They are ruled by a supreme emperor whom they regard as god who takes care of the nations affairs leaving the houses problems to the house king ( Empress Kim)
Okay that's all hope you guys like it.

Uvarovite: The rarest garnet
A lush bright chrome green characterises this beautiful mineral, but unfortunately larger crystals are practically non existent, and faceted gems are unavailable. It occurs as drusy coatings of fine crystals on metamorphosed chromite or serpentine rich rocks, and slices of this are available in jewellery. Unlike many gems, the colour is not due to an impurity, since its chemical formula is calcium chromium silicate. Named for a 19th century CE Russian statesman who was also a mineral collector when discovered in the Ural mountains in 1832, it is the only garnet that is always green. It is found in Spain, Russia, Canada, Scandinavia and South Africa, with the largest crystals coming from Finland. It is also known as chrome garnet. Any larger or faceted stone sold as uvarovite is almost certainly mislabeled demantoid or tsavorite.

Oasis Of The Seas To Make Big Apple Debut For Royal Caribbean’s 2020-21 Deployment
Royal Caribbean International is charting a new course with its 2020-21 deployment plans, touting a fleet of Royal Amplified ships sailing to exciting destinations. An amped up Oasis of the Seas will greet Lady Liberty and deliver new vacations from the Northeast with 7-night Caribbean itineraries that include an unforgettable day at the cruise line’s highly anticipated private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas. Oasis will be the first ship in her class and the world’s largest to sail from the Northeast. For the first time since 2015, Anthem of the Seas will return to the U.K. to sail alongside Independence of the Seas, marking the cruise line’s biggest presence in the region to-date.
Celebrating its one-year anniversary in summer 2020, Perfect Day at CocoCay will welcome 10 ships from more ports than any previous deployment, including newly added Galveston, Texas, as well as Barcelona, Spain on Allure and Rhapsody of the Seas’ transatlantic sailings in November 2020. Adventure seekers from around the world will have more opportunity than ever to discover the thrill and chill experiences that await the whole family, including the tallest waterslide in North America, the Caribbean’s largest wave pool, and the highest vantage point in The Bahamas from a helium balloon that rises 450 feet in the air. Delivering on its promise of creating memorable vacations on land and on board, Royal Caribbean will tout seven ships in 2020-21 that have emerged from the global cruise line’s $1 billion Royal Amplified modernization program launched in 2018, introducing a wide range of bold, new adventures designed to appeal to all ages.
The Perfect Vacation for all Seasons: Caribbean & Northeast
Big news for the Big Apple – Oasis of the Seas, the ship that revolutionized cruise vacations in 2009 with game-changing industry firsts, from the unique seven-neighborhood concept to the iconic AquaTheater performance venue, will undergo a bow-to-stern transformation in 2019 and become the first Royal Amplified ship to sail from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, N.J., starting in May 2020. Oasis of the Seas will transport travelers to the clear blue waters of The Bahamas all summer with 7-night itineraries, as well as a select number of short cruises north to New England and Canada.
Adventure of the Seas will return to Cape Liberty, sailing a variety of 5- and 9-night summer and fall itineraries to Bermuda, New England and Canada, The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Travelers can extend leaf peeping season on Vision of the Seas, which will offer three 10- to 11-night open-jaw itineraries between Bayonne and Quebec City with an overnight in Quebec’s capital – a UNESCO World Heritage treasure and North America’s only fortified city.
Symphony of the Seas and sister ship Harmony of the Seas, the ultimate family ships, will return to PortMiami and Port Canaveral, Fla., respectively, offering 7-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Both ships will feature visits to Perfect Day at CocoCay, the ultimate destination for thrill and chill, on nearly all sailings.
Brilliance of the Seas will light up Boston in the fall, sailing 7- to 10-night cruises to Canada starting in September 2020, while Grandeur of the Seas continues to offer 9-night itineraries to Canada and New England for fall foliage from her year-round homeport in Baltimore, Md. Grandeur will embark on a combination of 5- and 9-night itineraries to Bermuda and The Bahamas in the summer months, and transition to 9-night Southeast Coast & Bahamas and 12-night Southern Caribbean cruises for the winter. Northeast, Canada and Bermuda itineraries will be available to book as of Dec. 13, 2018.
In 2020, San Juan, Puerto Rico will welcome what will be the newly modernized Freedom of the Seas. The largest ship to ever homeport in San Juan will return for the third consecutive year to sail 7-night itineraries year-round throughout the Southern Caribbean, traveling beyond the typical getaway to exotic destinations like Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis; St. Johns, Antigua; Castries, St. Lucia and Bridgetown, Barbados. Rounding out the 7-night Caribbean offerings is Liberty of the Seas, which will continue to sail from Galveston to the Western Caribbean ahead of her own highly anticipated amplification in early 2021. The 7-night Bahamas, Bermuda and Caribbean itineraries will be available to book as of Dec. 13, 2018.
Memory-making Moments: Short Caribbean
No stranger to Perfect Day at CocoCay, two of Royal Caribbean’s Amplified ships – Mariner of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas – will continue to elevate short Caribbean getaways all year with 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday itineraries to The Bahamas. Reimagined in 2018, Mariner will continue to sail from Port Canaveral in Orlando, Fla., while an amped up Navigator will remain a resident of Miami, sailing from the cruise line’s state-of-the-art Terminal A. Navigator will be the third ship to be reimagined in February 2019, building on the successes of the brand’s Royal Amplified fleet modernization program to incorporate a lineup of firsts and Royal Caribbean favorites with new experiences, including an awe-inspiring Caribbean poolscape, two daring waterslides – introducing the longest aqua coaster at sea – the first blow dry bar the industry, elevated nightlife and dining, and thrilling activities. Short Caribbean itineraries are now open to book.
Sharing the Texas-sized spotlight, Enchantment of the Seas will, for the first time from Galveston, offer a lineup of sailings to Perfect Day at CocoCay for adventurous vacationers who want to wrangle first-time experiences that will top any bucket list. Enchantment will continue a mix of 4- and 5-night Western Caribbean sailings in the summer, perfect for short getaways and first-time cruise vacationers.
Fresh Adventures & Discoveries: Europe
The Old World will get a new spin with Royal Caribbean’s summer 2020 deployment. Longtime New York resident, Anthem of the Seas, will make the journey across the Atlantic to Southampton, England returning for the first time in five years. Anthem is set to embark on her biggest adventure yet as the Quantum Class ship visits coastal towns along the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Canary Islands, on 8- to 14-night itineraries. Modernized in 2018, Independence of the Seas will return to Southampton for the season and sail 7- to 14-night cruises around the Norwegian Fjords, Canary Islands and North Africa, Scandinavia & Russia, and Italian Mediterranean, including new destinations Agadir, Morocco and Ponta Delgada in Portugal’s Azores archipelago in the mid-Atlantic. Vacationers can also revel in the beauty of the Baltic with a 14-night itinerary – a first for a Freedom Class ship – featuring an overnight in Copenhagen, Denmark and two nights in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Royal Amplified will reach the far corners of Europe as Allure of the Seas and Explorer of the Seas debut multimillion-dollar modernizations as they journey across Europe for the 2020 summer and fall seasons to rediscover legendary landmarks, charming coastlines and the diverse cultures. Allure of the Seas will be the first Royal Amplified Oasis Class ship in Europe, offering 7-night Western Mediterranean itineraries that depart from Barcelona. From Rome, the reimagined Explorer will offer a mix of 7- to 12-night sailings along the Greek Isles, uncovering storied temples, amphitheaters and villages.
Vision of the Seas will join Allure in Barcelona for the summer and fall seasons to offer travelers 12-night cruises across the Mediterranean, as Rhapsody of the Seas returns to Venice, Italy for the summer to offer shorter itineraries, alternating between Greece & Croatia and the Greek Isles. Copenhagen will welcome Jewel of the Seas for the season, as the ship sails a mix of 7-night itineraries through the Norwegian Fjords and Scandinavia & Russia. Brilliance of the Seas will return to Amsterdam for a third summer, sailing 12-night Baltic itineraries and a special 12-night sailing around the British Isles. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, adventurers can board Brilliance for a 15-night artic crossing as the ship repositions from Amsterdam to Boston, Mass. European itineraries will be available to book the week of Dec. 17, 2018. All itineraries will be open to book by Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members one day prior to the general opening date.
