The state of Ginsag /'gɪnzæk/ (or simply "Ginsag") was a country founded by the [[superhero warrior]] [[Ginsag]] in the second half of the 17th CSR. It started in the city of Mosont and quickly grew in influence and power. Ginsag campaigned continuously and subdued several city states, at the same time establishing a strong government based on kinship.

Ginsag's brother, [[Maksag]], founded another large city that he called by his name. Ginsag's sister began the construction of the city of Insag.

When Ginsag died, the state of Ginsag was invaded by [[Tref]]. Ginsag's family perished in the invasion and the state was effectively dissolved. The area was later united under the [[Overpol Expanse]].

===== History =====

Ginsag was born in Mosont some time in the middle of the 17th CSR. He quickly became known for his extraordinary strength, speed and ability to multitask in the midst of the battle.

The city governor [[Elsk Normo]] tried to use Ginsag for his own interests, but Ginsag quickly realized what was happening, murdered Elsk along with several of his guards, and proclaimed himself and his own family as rulers.

Ginsag named his country by his own name and began campaigning. He conquered several city states, such as Deler, Forfad and Arindo, expanding his lands significantly. He also went on to ransack the city of [[Oon]] twice, first in the end of 1670s and later in the mid 1680s, bringing back gold, slaves and a significant amount of animals, including [[trontels]].

He also famously took on one of the [[Afanyu]] kingdoms. It, however, had its own superhero warrior named [[Len]]. Ginsag and Len fought several times, but neither could win, and eventually Afanyu and Ginsag agreed to leave each other alone.

The state of Ginsag also became known for not only defending against [[Teamatian chiefdoms]], but pursuing and definitively defeating many of them. Eventually, Ginsag became off-bounds for many Teamatian tribes.

Ginsag favored kinship and believed that his country was to be ruled by his family. His older brother Maksag received land down south on the banks of the Taverda river, and built a city which he also called by his own name. Ginsag's sister Insag became the commander of the southern army and began building her city of Insag. At that time the country was considered strong, wealthy and growing.

Ginsag died of old age in 1705 or 1706 SR. He was succeeded by his daughter Seyda. However, as news of his passing spread, the neighboring country [[Tref]] invaded Ginsag in the summer of 1711. The campaign lasted for several months, which saw the downfall and ransacking of all major cities of Ginsag: Maksag, Insag and Mosont. Many smaller cities, such as Deler, have been destroyed completely. None of the Ginsag's family is known to have survived the Tref invasion.

Tref armies left Ginsag in ruins. Mosont's famous farms have been burned down. Eventually, a city of [[Dav]] was built where Mosont once was. The area was once again united over a century later under the [[Overpol Expanse]].

===== Economy and trade =====

The important contribution that Ginsag and his family provided to the region was peace. For about half a century, the state of Ginsag was relatively peaceful internally and well defended from raids and campaigns by Ginsag's reputation alone.

The state of Ginsag traded with many neighboring regions and countries, taking advantage of the fertile soil of Mosont, as well as exporting wood.

Additionally, the country developed a significant and experienced army and began selling its military services. At one time or another, ginsags were employed by Tref, Afanyu, [[Xornerian]] and [[Orona]].
