++ Overview

[[tabview]]
[[tab What is this?]]

So, somehow you've managed to wander into a little thing called the Seas of Orcadia. This is a canon, a small one that is relatively new and hopefully will be growing. 

**What Exactly Does that Mean?** 

Well, this is a collaborative effort focused around a centralized narrative continuity, with the potential for infinitely many smaller continuities. In other words, there are many many stories to tell here. 

[[/tab]]

[[tab How To Write for the Canon]]

**How to Write for This?**

Orcadian mythology heavily borrows from a combination of Celtic and Norse mythology. Tales/SCP's within this canon aren't expected to adhere to any single major theme, but rather should try to broach/touch on aspects of this particular shared universe. I'll give a list of different things that compose the canon.  It's not required to follow these to the letter, but I encourage consideration.

* __Association with or around direct Orcadian Myths__, these don't have to be exactly in line with the extant mythologies, but //if// you are writing based on extant Orcadian/Shetland/Celtic/Norse mythology, it is highly recommended you do thorough research and evaluation of the cultures, the stories themselves, the environment/geography, and archaeological/anthropological history in order to understand the context and significance of what you are writing. Remember, Orcadian Mythology is based on the verbal and written traditions of REAL people and groups. Treat them with the same respect you would treat mythology from maligned or marginalized communities. That said, you do not have to write explicitly based on Orcadian mythologies. Make up your own material, as long as it fits within the canons themes.
* __The Foundation is the man on top__, they have access to vast resources, contain a large number of anomalies, and have a pool of highly trained and experienced research personnel. Despite this, the Foundation in this canon is hesitant to use anomalies outside of desperate, large scale events, but events have forced their hand into an alliance. They acknowledge and know magic and magic based technology exists, but they do not have the same level of understanding and utilization that other GoI's may have. 
* __The Finnfolk are a Major and Powerful civilization with significant historical impact.__ The Finnfolk are an integral part of the canon, Seas of Orcadia articles/tales/GoI formats do not have to directly focus or mention them, but they are and were an influential civilization on a global scale. Their history and lore is somewhat formulated, but not 100% solidified. 
* __Magic, fantasy, and myth are big parts of this canon__. Lore is important, and its still being built. DrBleep is writing from a specific vantage point with a set pantheon of gods. You do not have to follow her example in your writing, but like other major canons, there are certain things that will make this canon what it is. You don't have to be //100%// in line with everything that happens in tales, SCPs, and/or GoI formats, as there will be lots of wiggle room given the arcane nature of the works in this canon. Get creative with your interpretation, just keep in mind what others have already written!
* __DrBleep has written a pantheon of 13 deities for the Canon__. Each deity was carefully chosen based on their prominence within the Wiki/Orcadian lore. Some of their background tales, and GoI's may not line up 100% with the goals of this canon, and sometimes they may conflict with each other based on other material that's written. This is OK, and expected as author's headcanons tend to differ. 
* __Locations will be global, but with a particular emphasis frequently calling back to the Orkney Islands__. This is pretty obvious.  
* __The Mither is Chained__.

[[/tab]]

[[tab Major Themes]]

++ Major Themes
The Seas of Orcadia Canon focuses on capturing major themes that are indicated below.

* __Mysticism/Legend/Mythological:__ Orcadia focuses heavily on a sense of mysticism, vague, almost urban legend/folk lore-ish stories and concepts that depict a world or world(s) that are vaguely familiar but also foreign. Think of it as if it could have existed but only in the way that mythology and legends are often based in steeped elements of actual history that have become transformed by the art of retelling over time.
* __Cycles, Nature Ebbs and Flows:__ A major theme of the Orcadia canon is that nature runs in ebb and flow cycles. The climate and ecosystems of the Orkney islands were harsh, and at times unforgiving, but also bountiful, and plentiful in what they gave to their inhabitants. This is reflected heavily in the mythologies and folklore that stem from both Orkney and Shetland. Struggles against cruel aspects of nature is a itself is a holdover mythology from pre-Norse cultures.
*  __Fantasy:__ A lot of Orcadia content is highly fantastical in nature, incorporating magic or cosmic scale. This is the kind of fantasy that is grounded in the stark mundane reality of the Foundation, and regular people, a contrast which lends itself well to evocative storytelling.
*  __Emotional Cores:__ - Many Orcadia articles draw from strong emotional concepts built around the storytelling concepts and mechanics. Emotionally evocative works are a staple of the canon, ranging from love to loss to tragedy to parenthood to fear. 
* __Transhumanism:__ Ocradia articles focus heavily on commuting transhuman and abstract concepts into mentally discernible depictions. Let your imagination run wild, embrace vibrant descriptions. Existentialist themes are prevalent.

[[tab The Finnfolk]]


++ Who Are the Finnfolk?

+++ Background in Orkney Folklore
In Orcadian mythology the Finnfolk are a race of merfolk who draw from many different traits and histories, both from the neo-lithic cultures that occupied the islands, and the more traditional Norse Finn mythologies. Finnfolk are typically depicted as crafty, sorcerous beings who abduct humans to serve as spouses, especially for young Finnwives so they may be prevented from turning ugly and old. The origins of their myths stem from the dual shamanistic nature of the Saami peoples of Northern Scandinavia, along with bleedover of the less pleasant traits of the Selkie. Abductions were likely the way in which Orcadian residents rationalized the disappearance of young fishermen in the often hostile seas of the Orkney Isles. In any case, the Finnfolk have one of the most extensive record in Orkney Folklore.

++++ Finnfolkaheem

In Orcadian mythology, the Finnfolk originated from a massive, underwater city made of beautiful crystals and is often described as a mythical sensual paradise. 

++++ Hildaland

Hildaland was described as a mythical moving island, typically invisible or unreachable except by accompanying, or closely following Finnfolk. It was said to server as a summer home for the Finnfolk, until humans came and sanctified it, rendering it uninhabitable by the Finnfolk.

+++ Who are the Finnfolk in this canon.

The Finnfolk are a race of amphibious Hominids, Homo Aquarius, closely related to humans. More specific details about their anatomy can be found in existing articles, and perhaps eventually a GOI hub. The Finnfolk are exceptionally smart, and live nearly 10x as long as humans. They are highly magical beings, though not all of them are of the caliber necessary to be active mages. Finnfolk technology is complicated, and relies on advanced thaumaturgic technology and generation of "power" through linkages into the Astral Plane. This results in a fusion of imagery that sits somewhere between the pure fantasy of Atlantis the Lost Empire, and the Science Fiction of Mass Effect.

Finnfolk society is structured based on a hierarchy of needs. When not threatened by outside forces, it functions like a true meritocracy. The Finnfolk are typically egalitarian, and due to their advanced thaumaturgic capabilities, they live in what might be described as a paradise or utopia when not threatened by outside forces. Much like in their origin mythologies, their homes, cities, and technology is built using combinations of crystal and organo-metallic polymers, giving their structural and technological architecture an organic feel, where the thaumaturgy that flows through them brings them to life.

Finnfolk Society is capped by what could be considered a constitutional or regulated monarchy. In theory, the Queen/King of the Finnfolk serves as a figurehead, who signs and gives approval to legislation passed by a council of magisters representing various constituencies of Finnfolk Society.  

As many of the nastier elements of the Finnfolk have been juxtaposed on the wiki into Selkie articles, the Finnfolk in the Orcadia Canon have been somewhat shuffled to distinguish them from the Selkie, while maintaining many of the core elements of their mythological background. The Finnfolk are tolerant of Humans, having once intermingled and been indifferent/friendly with them. 

A combination of past events drove the Finnfolk from their terrestrial homes, leading to a large diaspora to more remote, aquatic/terrestrial environments, giving rise to many of the Merfolk myths. Many pockets of Finnfolk are thus, naturally secluded, and wary of human interaction due to the hostile past. By proxy, the Finnfolk are typically treated as threats or adversaries to many ancient GoI's due to their juxtaposed societal morals, and their relatively advanced technological and thaumatological state. In turn the Finnfolk do not get along well with groups like the Sarkics, the Mekhanites, Daevites etc. as separately, each civilization contributed to the decline of greater Finnfolk territory.

[[tab History]]
+++ Under Construction
The history of the world in Seas of Orcadia closely mirrors the history of our own, with notable and profound shifts in when events in the ancient world occurred. Shielded by the veil; however, these events are poorly documented, and in some cases, entirely unknown to the average Foundation researcher. This section will contain a general timeline and description of what is traditionally considered pre-history in order to paint an effective picture of the world framing the canon. Events may be shifted or altered within the timeline as users write for the canon.

+++++ 2 million - 100,000 BCE 

Thanks to improved fossil records, and access to extant Finfolk populations, metagenomic lineage tracing has identified 2.1-2 million BCE as the divergence point for the lineage of //Homo aquarius//. Having descended from 5 distinct populations of //Homo erectus// who settled in and around what is now the Mediterranean Sea, the Iberian Peninsula, Southwestern France, Doggerland, and the Isle of Great Britain. These //Homo erectus// sub-populations appear to have been subjected to rapid selection conditions for both adaptation to harsher climates and more aquatic traits for reasons that remain largely unelucidated and may be anomalous in nature. However, meta-genomic analysis indicates natural, if accelerated. development of aquatic traits likely due to a population bottleneck roughly 2.1 million years ago.  

Genetic exchange between communities appears to have propagated the characteristic development of fins, scales, and gills. The appearance of enlarged cavities in the shoulders and neck containing a second layer of deployable epidermis remains unexplained. The origin point of these traits and populations has been traced to a community of individuals living on what is now the Santorini Atoll, which was; historically, outside of //Homo erectus'// known migration range.

Precursors to the Daevite sub-species begin displaying anomalous traits. They are driven from Africa into the middle east. 

------

+++++ 100000 - 15000 BCE

//Homo aquarius// populations shift in a northward migration away from the European continental interior towards exclusively coastal and river settlements, and occupation of the majority of Doggerland, the British Isles, and the Scandinavia coast. First elements of Finnfolk language begin to appear, though recovered tablets and markings remain largely undecipherable even to modern Finfolk scholars. Finnfolk populations remain relatively small in comparison with //Homo neanderthalensis//, Denisovan, and migrating //Homo sapien// populations. During this period //Homo aquarius// experience rapid increase in average height. 

The Santorini Atoll remains inhabited by an increasing population of //Homo aquarius//.

------

+++++ 15000 BCE - 3000 BCE

**14900 BCE** - The first decipherable words of 'old' Finnfolk appear. Finfolk society first domesticates several species of semi-aquatic grains, allowing for more permanent settlements. Hunter-gatherer groups begin accumulating in settlements leading to refining of agricultural and processing techniques. Finnfolk populations grow at a moderately faster rate, but remain low compared to the relatively recent populations of modern humans. 

**???? BCE -** Members of the 'Finnfolk' sub-population of //Homo aquarius// domesticate █████████ ██████ a previously undescribed megafauna species of arthropod. They begin construction of a settlement on its back. 

**11000 BCE -** Various //Homo aquarius// develop unique crystal lattice work shelters made of corundrum at roughly the same time. 

**10900 BCE -** Multiple //Homo aquarius// settlements develop crude smithing methodologies for organo-metallic polymers that would not be developed by human societies until well past 1800 CE. This marks the beginning of the infamous 'plateau' of early Finnfolk society. 
 
**10000 BCE -** The Daevite sub-species of modern humans finish their migration and settle on the Eurasian steppe. 

**9500 BCE** - The //Homo aquarius// settlement at Santorini develops several highly nutrious agricultural aquatic plant species which are exported to Finnfolk settlements in the north by sea. 

**9000-8000 BCE** - Mekhanite pre-cursors arrive in ancient Greece and Turkey. First signs of mechanization appear somewhere between 8800-8500 BCE, leading to the construction of a series of megalithic structures at Göbekli Tepe. A comparable divide in early Mekhanite culture occurs, as many groups migrate to the Yellow and Yangtze River valley's in China.

**8500-8000 BCE** - Daevite populations experience a massive agricultural revolution, and discover advanced thaumaturgic manipulation of botanical elements. Populations explode, and the Daevites rapidly develop new technologies dependent on woodworking and botany. the first Daevite matriarchies arise and organize the first hierarchical communities which will become the Daevite Empire. 

**7900 BCE** - Gobekli Tepe is hurriedly abandoned and backfilled. Modern Archaelogists believe this was due to loss of importance to local communities, but deeper digging has revealed heavily damaged and destroyed mechanical components. 

**7500 BCE** - The first Daevite Empire forms, encompassing the modern day territories of Eastern Ukraine, Muscovy, the Caucuses, and most of eastern Kazakhstan. 

**7200 BCE** - The first Daevite empire collapses after a protracted campaign against the united early Mekhanites, overstretching their supply lines. Early forms of Chemical warfare devastate large swathes of the Daevites primary food producing agricultural regions leading to mass famine and revolt. 

**7100 BCE** - The Second Daevite Empire is founded by the Daeva's following a century of civil wars. Staple aspects of Daevite culture are solidified as pillars of Daeva society. The Empire choses to focus its expansion to the East and North, maintaining tense relations with the Mekhanites. 

**7000 BCE** - Daevite colonizers come in contact with members of the //Homo aquarius// sub-group referred to as the 'Selchi'. Old Finnfolk records indicate a tense trade relationship begins that softens after a period of 500 years. 

**6900 BCE** - The Second Daevite Empire begins a policy of taking conquered peoples as slaves, and deporting them for labor in west, opening occupied lands in the east for colonization. Daevite botanical thaumaturgy reaches near industrial revolution levels of efficiency in day to day life. Worship of the Scarlett King is made the official state religion, blood thaumatology combined with botanical practices becomes commonplace in daily life. 

**6800 BCE** - Pre-Hellenistic/Pre-Mycenian Mekhanite Western Orthodoxy concedes control of Middle Eastern border regions with the Daevites due to large scale plagues weakening Mekhanite successor states.

**6500 BCE** - The First Chinese Dynasties appear, the Lijiacun Dynasty, driven by Eastern Orthodox Mekhanite worship of the clockwork goddess Mekhane and her crusade against her lover Yaldabaoth. 

**6200 BCE** - The Children of the Sun split from the Eastern Orthodox Mekhanites and begin worship of the Sun Eater. They migrate to Southeastern Asia and vanish into the jungles of southern China and Vietnam. 

**6100 BCE** - Knowledge of the failures of the First Daevite empire pass out of history into legend due to a Daevite cultural revolution putting more power into the hands of the Daeva. The Third Daevite Empire is created.  

**5900 BCE** - The third Daevite Empire encounters the Eastern Orhtodox Mekhanite Lijiacun Dynasty. The second Daevite-Mekhanite war begins, and ends after 50 years. Neither side gains significant ground. 

**5700 BCE** - Descendants of slaves taken by the third Daevite Empire forsake worship of Mekhane and begin practicing precursor beliefs to proto-sarkicism. Due to harsh repression, most practictioners are used as human sacrifices. 

**5500 - 5000 BCE** - Worship of tenants beginning to resemble proto-sarkicism spreads among Daevite slaves. It warps from the original teachings. Some sects begin quietly practicing fleshwarping. 

**5000 BCE** - The First Chinese Eastern Orthodox dynasty collapses. The Yangshao dynasty is founded.

**4500 BCE** - The Third Daevite Empire reaches its Zenith, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the west, to Mongolia in the East. 

**4400 BCE** - Western Orthodox Mekhanites colonize the island of Crete. The Finnfolk at Santorini complete the 13th ring of ███-████'s pre-cursor structures as many Finnfolk eschew their traditional sea and coastal grottos in the face of increasing Human and Mekhanite presence in the Mediterranean to live in safety.

[[tab Important Locations]]

+++ Site 212A

Site 212A is a facility located on the Dunnethead Peninsula southeast of the Orkney islands encompassing an area of 12 km2. Three 500 m2 vehicle storage warehouses are positioned along the coastline, with open access to coastal waters for functional testing of reactivated SCP-3706 instances. A permanent staff of 1000+ individuals, including MTF-Sigma 32 ("Recovery Wizards") are housed on site at all times.

The area directly encompassing 212A has been designated as a No-Fly zone by the government of the UK. This status extends into the surrounding oceanic waters in a 2 km radius.

Site 212A has expanded rapidly into a full scale facility over the course of the past 10 years, as understanding of the Finfolk and their history has expanded. Extensive facilities to maintain contact and produce sufficient materials to restore containment protocols on key aspects of SCP-001 have become necessary.

+++ Site 212B

Site 212B is a facility located on the Western coast of Hoy Island. Site 212B consists of a 50 m x 20 m compound capable of housing and decommissioning non-functional thaumaturgic items. Site 212B has a permanent security staff of 15, and 5 thaumaturgic demolition experts.

Site 212 B primarily serves as a disposal facility for dysfunctional or non-functional Finnfolk thaumotological technology. 

+++ Orkney Islands

The Orkney Islands are the center point of most events within the canon. Orkney is located just off the coast of northern Scotland and consists of roughly 70 individual islands. Orcadia culture is well known for it's folkloric and mythical elements, which are extensions of anomalous activity in Orkney's ancient history. Orkney is rich in neolithic ruins and monuments, originally believed to be of human origin. Recent insight has revealed that the majority of the archaeological finds on the largest island of Mainland are of Finfolk construction and from a large and complicated complex. 

+++ [[[SCP-4700]]]/Guð-Bani/Finnfolkaheem

An immense mechanized magi-tech construct built by the Finfolk during the Sealing Wars. Guð-Bani was designed as a weapon of mass destruction designed to take on the Old Ones. It was later modified to contain an immense extraplanar space for the survival and habitation of the Finnfolk following the slow collapse of terrestrial Finfolk holdings. Guð-Bani is a critical component of modern Finnfolk culture, and is the largest and most prominent population center for the vast majority of surviving Finnfolk. 

+++ Hildaland 

The 'moving' island of Hildaland was a former moving land mass constructed on the back of a giant Arthropod. Finfolk records indicate it was destroyed by Teran in 3100 BCE, catalyzing the beginning of the Sealing Wars. Few written records describing Hildaland, it's population, geography, and ecosystem survive due to the cataclysmic nature of its destruction. Foundation researchers believe they have located its remains.

+++ SCP-████

SCP-████ is a mega structure 60km in diameter encompassing the Santorini caldera and atoll. Archaeological records indicate it was one of the first Finnfolk settlements established, beginning as a small village and sacred religious site, and became a major trade hub and population center. It served as a center of power for the maritime trade empire of the Finnfolk collective from 3000 BCE to 798 BCE. The settlement is believed to be responsible for the Bronze Age collapse due to use of a poorly understood eigenweapon. SCP-████ remained as the largest Finnfolk population center and trade hub through the decline of the maritime trade empire, and was the last major terrestrial holding of the Finfolk. 

+++ SCP-001

ACCESS RESTRICTED

+++ Astral Plane

The Astral plane is an anomalous mirror of baseline reality which is directly connected to and intertwined with causality. Understanding of the Astral plane is extremely poor, and all personnel are adviced to practice extreme caution if confronted with a direct shunt, dimensional tear, passageway, or corridor to this space. Preliminary exploration indicates that the Astral plane allows ordinary humans to exhibit causal manifestation and manipulation of reality equivalent to type green entities.
