1. Cuain Seamroige

The name of the Utopia is Cuain Seamroige. This translates to Shamrock Harbor. This name was given to the city because the society earns most of its wealth through sea trade. Cuain Seamroige has a large harbor that allows its citizens to send their goods out and receive many other goods in return. The Cuain Seamroige society also believes that their god, Dóiteáin, brings luck to their city, citizens, and comrades. The shamrock symbolizes this luck. Cuain Seamroige fits the society's beliefs and heavily influenced sea trade lifestyle.

2. Cuain Seamroige Declaration of Independence

Cuain Seamroige Declaration of Dóiteáin

In the name Dóiteáin, we declare a society free of the evil Básolc and his army of evil death kitties. In the epic battle of good versus evil, Dóiteáin declared us free of the evils of human kind. In the ancient days of despair, Básolc possessed all humans creating chaos and havoc. They destroyed all the world forcing Dóiteáin to fight and destroy Básolc. Our people, the creatures of Dóiteáin, were forced to flee the human world, which was destroyed beyond repair, leaving the humans behind to live within the rubbish. Now, we the people of Dóiteáin live in a free and independent society which we created for our very needs, away from the deathly human world in which Básolc destroyed. 

We declare the society, Cuain Seamroige, a free and peaceful society Leprechauns, Fairies, Trolls, and Unicorns can live in harmony beside Dóiteáin's gracious sea harbor where all other magical worlds come to exchange and trade priceless objects, and away from Básolc's possessed human world. No more shall we be forced to live among humans and their evil ways of war, hate, and evil! We shall no longer fight among each other, but will be forced to endure the everlasting struggle against Básolc and his army of evil death kitties. Dóiteáin shall protect our rights that he has given us, and we shall never be controlled or possessed by an evil such as Básolc. Everyone will live peacefully with their rights along with their unicorn, as long as they do not abuse their freedom from Básolc by not abiding by the laws of the almighty Dóiteáin

By abiding by laws of Dóiteáin, all shall live in peace and harmony with their rights and unicorns, away from Básolc, his evil army of death kitties, and his possessed and destroyed human world.    



      
  

3. mana agus séala

"Féadfaidh an capall horned na chuan seamróige ádh a thabhairt ar do long."

Cuain Seamróige Séala
"May the horned horse of shamrock harbor bring luck upon your ship."

Cuain Seamróige is located on a popular trade route.  The horned horses, or unicorns as the natives call them, are pure, sacred, magical creatures sent by the mighty unicorn dragon, Dóiteáin.  The unicorns' powers control the luck of Cuain Seamróige.  An honest ship may be granted the luck of the unicorn.  The state seal depicts a unicorn on the Cuain Seamróige shore. The rainbow is the path the unicorns follow to get from the land of Dóiteáin down to Cuain Seamróige.


4. Cuain Seamroige Animal

The unicorn is the animal of Cuain Seamróige. The government chose the unicorn because of its significance in Cuain Seamróige's religion.  The unicorn is believed to be a pure, sacred, and magical creature.  Their magic is an important part of commerce because the chance of having the luck bestowed on one's ship brings many merchants.

5. List of Rules

1. Thou shall have only Dóiteáin and no other gods.
     *Dóiteáin has blessed our land and we all owe our happiness to him.
2. Thou shall not put any harm unto a unicorn.
     *Since they are the creature of Dóiteáin, putting any harm unto a unicorn would anger him and cause him to kill us all.
3. Thou shall not utter the name of Básolc or any of his death kitties.
     *Básolc's name only spreads hatred and nobody actually cares about any of the death kitties. If you do, you suck.
4. Thou shall remember the unicorn and keep it holy.
     *The unicorns have always given us its luck and it continues to grant us its prosperity.
5. Only thy leprechaun shall be allowed to steal.
     *It is in the leprechaun's nature to steal, and to prohibit this could send all of our settlement into disarray and disorder. All other animals are not allowed to steal as it is wrong and dishonest.
6. Thou shall not exceed the speed limit on thy unicorn.
     *If one were to crash and harm a unicorn, Dóiteáin would be angered and may stop blessing Seamróg Port.
7. Adultery is punishable with death by unicorn.
     *Adultery is considered wrong and is frowned upon by society. Death by unicorn is simply the stabbing of the chest with unicorn horn.
8. Thou shall not practice the dark magic of Básolc.
     *For obvious reasons, we would like to keep our society clean and peaceful. Básolc's evil influence would taint our world and lead to total chaos.
9. Thou shall not take advantage of a troll for its ignorance.
     *Have a heart. This would be like stealing candy from a really dumb baby. 
10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's unicorn.
     *There are plenty of unicorn to go around and it would be very unwise for you to upset thy neighbors or upset any balances.

6. Governing Body

The government in Cuain Seamroige is structured into three groups. There are the Trolls, who control the army, the Fairies, who write all laws (legislative), and the leprechauns, who are the ruling class and decide major things and have final say in decisions of both the troll army and the fairies. To decide all positions of ruling/hierarchy in each branch are the unicorns. Since they were the sacred creatures sent down by Dóiteáin, they are viewed as the wises and purest, and they will only pick the wise and the pure to lead.


THE TROLLS

This is one of the many low class
trolls who is hunting down on the
possessed and evil human world.
Known as the most horrible, wretched creatures of Cuain Seamroige, they are the perfect choice for the army. In Cuain Seamroige, There are no civil wars on their own people, or any other "worldly" race, only against the evil Básolc and his army of death kitties. The trolls divide themselves into three classes as well. There are the elite trolls (aprox. .5% of trolls), the middle class (aprox. 2% of trolls), and the low class (aprox. 97.5% of trolls). With a staggering number of trolls in the lower class, the middle and elite force them to be the fighters, who are forced to go down to the human world and hunt and kill all death kitties. The middle class are the commanders of these low class trolls. They rarely go down to the human world because they command from Cuain Seamroige. The army also has another function in society. As stated in the Declaration of Dóiteáin, everyone shall live peacefully as long as they abide by Dóiteáin's sacred rules. The elite work as a type of punishing structure in the army. Anyone who breaks a law will be hunted down by the army elite of trolls, and they take them to their secret army base, never to be seen again. Nobody knows what happens inside the troll army base, but we all know it cannot be good.


This is the finalizing group of fairies
who changes and edits the laws after
written by the first council of 50. There
are only 6 fairies in the finalizing group
because the unicorns find that only
6 are wise enough to perform this duty.
   THE FAIRIES

Fairies are of course the smartest creatures in Cuain Seamroige. They did not originate in the human world such as the trolls and leprechauns, but in Neverland. Básolc also sent his death kitties to Neverland, and all the fairies, had to flee, leaving all the others on Neverland, unable to fly away because of the lack of pixie dust once the fairies left. The fairies roamed for years, having to live on stardust in space until they came upon the gracious land of Cuain Seamroige. They were welcomed very quickly after proving not to be spies of Básolc and showing their intelligence. The Leprechauns then knew that they were the smartest of all and should be in charge of making rules and laws. The fairies adopted all Cuain Seamroige customs and were proud to let the unicorns choose which of them should lead. The Fairies decided that they should be split up into group of 50 fairies who collaborate to make the laws. A chief fairy, called Dahnaic (meaning "Lord"), is in charge of them and organizes and finalizes the laws to be given to the next group of fairies. The next group then makes changes and edits the laws after deciding whether they should be passed or not.


THE LEPRECHAUNS
This is an ancient sketch of the
original Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór, 
Béalmór, who founded Cuain 
Seamroige along with the help of
  Dóiteáin, the great unicorn dragon.

 The Leprechauns are of course the natural leaders of Cuain Seamroige. After the flee from the human world. Someone had to take charge, and it was the great leprechaun, Béalmór. He became the first Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór (closest translation is "Great Chief"). He founded Cuain Seamroige and made with the culture of his home land, Ireland. He picked his 10 most loyal servants and made them his second in command, which he calls his commanders. Ever since then, The Leprechauns are the ruling class, with the Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór and his 10 commanders in charge. The Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór also has a group of 5 unicorns who are also picked by other unicorns to be his advisors. Once Béalmór died, the unicorns picked a new Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór, and they pick a new one every time the old one dies, or they may also choose to pick a new one if the 10 commanders or the unicorn adviser's think that the Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór is being wrong or bad by abusing power or not following Dóiteáin's laws. Since the Leprechauns are the "ruling class" of Cuain Seamroige, they can deny or accept any choice made by the trolls in the army, or the fairies. Any decision made by the trolls about when to attack the army of death kitties in the human world must be okayed by the Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór as well as the troll elite's decisions about those who disobey Dóiteáin's Law. Also, when the fairies make a new law, before the law is added to The Sacred Book of Dóiteáin's Law, the fairies must present the law to the Príomhfheidhmeannach Mórríomhfheidhmeannach Mór and tell him what information they found in it. Finally, the Príomhfheidhmeannach Mór, helped by his unicorn advisers, makes a final decision of whether the law should be passed or not (he usually passes it because he knows the fairies are very smart and would have found all problems with it early on).  






7. Invitation to Friends

8. Journal Entry I

This is My Unicorn, Named Serenity

I am a leprechaun, and thusly a member of the upper class in the city where I live, Cuain Seamroige. The upper class has the money to provide for a Unicorn. We also have the resources to purchase one, while the trolls of the lower class will never even see one, unless they are very lucky. I have a grey one. Her name is Serenity. My best friend, Nate, has two. One is yellow, named Bob, and the other is named Francesquina. She is expecting twin colts. He said that he would give me one. I am hoping for a black one that I could name Lightning. Unicorns exude feelings of peace, tranquility, and happiness. I pet my Unicorn for an hour everyday, after brushing her. This makes sure that no matter how bad of a day I'm having, or how unhappy I am, I always come away smiling. If people wanted to leave our breath taking city, we would just keep the Unicorn, because they are expensive, and pure creatures. We want to protect them from unscrupulous use. I will never leave, because I am happy, but the most deciding factor is that I love Serenity with all my heart. I would never leave her behind.

These are some drawing I made
 of members of my class
This is my Unicorn Doll. I wanta Unicorn but I just have a pony


'Ello! My name is Fithel! I'm one of the trolls living in the Cuain Seamroige. I may be lower class, but it ain't so bad. I'm glad Cormac let me write a bit on 'is journal, let me explain things from the troll side, you know what I mean? Everyday I get up, get ready for my day, an' then head off to the academy. While at the academy, I train by mock-fighting the other trolls, runnin', liftin' weights, an' learnin' about some of the basics of readin', writin' an' 'rithmetic. The teachers ain't that bad, they never learned it neither, an' they just whip you if you get somethin' wrong, that they do, that they do know somethin' about. The food ain't so bad neither, as you can pick whatever you want, so long as it's gruel. After the day's up, I go back 'ome an' I perform some rituals honorin' the great unicorn dragon. I made a friend outa Cormac a while ago, an' 'e say 'e might show me 'is Unicorn someday. That's my only wish in life, so if I see 'is Unicorn I guess I might be bored a bit afta words, but I mean, it's a flippin' Unicorn!

8. Journal entry III

A charcoal of myself, here I'm collecting flowers


A painting of the Great Auditorium
Hello..... My name is.... Duaibsech..... I am a female fairy..... I am the current Damhnaic, or chief fairy, as the outsiders call us. I was elected by the unicorns to lead the fairies, for my intelligence, as well as my demure and kind nature. We are by far the quietest of the inhabitants of this city, and we are light creatures, as opposed to the mischievous leprechauns and slow, brutal trolls. On a typical day, I fly to the Great Auditorium of our city, where we work on the just laws of our city. I am a simple creature, and after work and the feeding of my unicorn, I often fly to the Silver Hills and collect flowers.

8. Journal entry IV

Lightning!
Lightning's twin sister, Luna
Francesquina gave birth to a wonder! Along with his twin sister, he is a very rare Pegasus Unicorn. These Unicorns are chosen by the great Unicorn Dragon to one day join him in preparing for the great battle against Básolc. And, still true to his promise, Nate gave him to me! I named him Lightning, according to my plan. Lightning and Serenity are already great friends, and I love them both very much.

A Reading From A Letter From Básolc to the Death Kitty, Brístesona


This is Brístesona minutes before his death. 

The following is a letter found by the troll, Gealachgaoithe Cré III, when he was in battle down on the human world. He and his crew encountered a group of death kitties torturing rebelling humans. The group was led by Brístesona, one of Básolc's leading death kitties. Gealachgaoithe Cré III and his crew destroyed the group, including Brístesona, and found torn remnants of this letter in the debris.  




Dear Brístesona, 

         There was an attack on our inner death chamber two nights ago. The trolls of the wretched land of Cuain Seamroige attacked and freed all prisoners. I need your help to hunt down and find this fiend who attacked not only my chamber, but my dignity! I need you to come into my world, the Domhanda na Básolc*. For reasons of secrecy, I have been forced to change the location of the portal to the Domhanda na Básolc, and I am aware that you have not been given the location of this portal. I am about to reveal the location of the portal to you so make sure you are alone and nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is looking at this letter. I attached a map including directions to get to the portal but on your journey you must never go...

*Domhanda na Básolc (World of Evil Death) - It is the world of Básolc and his death kitties.

That was the only section of the actual letter that was legible when found. The map, somehow, was unharmed, and we were able to make an attack on the death kitties when a majority of them were entering the portal. Básolc soon realized what happened and was forced to close the portal, allowing our army of trolls to defeat the majority of them, a few did escape. We assumed that Básolc eventually opened another portal, but it was never found. A copy of the map is below (the portal is in the cave).
