Episode 25: The Öltenic of Godherja
<p>On this special First of April, we cover the nomadic peoples of the world of Godherja: the Öltenic. <br/><br/>Please check this great mod for Crusader Kings 3! You can download the mod on its Steam page linked <a href='https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2326030123'>here</a> or on ModDB <a href='https://www.moddb.com/mods/godherja-the-dying-world'>here</a>. Many appreciations to the Godherja team for providing me with feedback and corrections as well! <br/><br/><b>Corrections:</b></p><ul><li>At around 13:17, I state that the Hyartan Mountains are the highest on the continent. The largest mountains are actually the Worldspine (where the Mayikrata is built on).</li><li>During the discussion of the Bayyuralar in around 47:00, I should have clarified that the event did not just target the Astilik Empire. Other, unrelated states were also targeted by Baytor and his vassals. </li><li>At about 50:50, I use the term "Imperial Legate" when the correct term to denote an Aversarian general is Legon or Legan. </li><li>This point was made unclear in the episode, but it should be noted that during the period of Imperial domination by Aversaria, the Öltenic peoples were considered nominal "citizens" of the empire. </li></ul><p><b>Social Media</b></p><ul><li>Patreon: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/NomadsandEmpires'>https://www.patreon.com/NomadsandEmpires</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/NomadEmpiresPod'>https://twitter.com/NomadEmpiresPod</a></li><li>Substack: <a href='https://nomadsandempirespodcast.substack.com/%20%20'>https://nomadsandempirespodcast.substack.com/ </a></li></ul>
