Ios and the Retribution of Scyrah, commonly known as Retribution [...]

The most well-known dummy text is the 'Lorem Ipsum', which is said to have originated in the 16th century. Lorem Ipsum is composed in a pseudo-Latin language which more or less corresponds to 'proper' Latin. It contains a series of real Latin words. This ancient dummy text is also incomprehensible, but it imitates the rhythm of most European languages in Latin script. The advantage of its Latin origin and the relative meaninglessness of Lorum Ipsum is that the text does not attract attention to itself or distract the viewer's attention from the layout.

One disadvantage of Lorum Ipsum is that in Latin certain letters appear more frequently than others - which creates a distinct visual impression. Moreover, in Latin only words at the beginning of sentences are capitalized; this means that Lorem Ipsum cannot accurately represent, for example, German, in which all nouns are capitalized. Thus, Lorem Ipsum has only limited suitability as a visual filler for German texts. If the fill text is intended to illustrate the characteristics of different typefaces, it sometimes makes sense to select texts containing the various letters and symbols specific to the output language.

There is now an abundance of readable dummy texts. These are usually used when a text is required purely to fill a space. These alternatives to the classic Lorem Ipsum texts are often amusing and tell short, funny or nonsensical stories.

Military Forces

The military forces of Ios are divided largely between the Five Great Military Houses. These houses, Nyarr, Issyen, Silowuyr, Ellowuyr, and Rhyslyrr, dedicate the vast majority of their resources and populations to their military forces. Each house specializes in its own brand of warfare as well as supporting general troops, and any conflict with one of the Military Houses will see the deployment of their own corps of elite warriors.

House Nyarr's military forces are built around the Dawnguard, heavy infantry trained to fight closely alongside their myrmidons. They make extensive use of marshals to control myrmidons alongside their squads of infantry, which is primarily made up of Invictors and Sentinels. The Invictors make up the backbone of Nyarr forces and carry heavy sword cannons that allow them to seamlessly switch between ranged and melee combat. Sentinels are the shock troops of the Dawnguard forces and carry heavy greatswords of advanced Iosian steel.
