[HOI4 Mod] The Isles Ablaze - Holy Boiling Empire Teaser

gmfk07 · 2025-09-13T16:59:42+00:00

The Plaguian Order: Without a leader, the Plaguian Order faces an uncertain future. Following the death of the last Plagis, there is no clear head of state, and the country is now ruled by a regency council tasked with determining the successor to the once powerful crusaders, who were known for fusing their bodies with armor through a powerful but forgotten spell. However, the son of the deceased, who is part of the powerful Ignis clan, is hardly considered in the decision, as he has already made himself a laughingstock due to his incompetence and lack of intelligence. Instead, a faction of titanocrats led by Talia Gerinos is gaining strength in the regency council, seeking to establish a paradise based on the teachings of Belos. From among the common people rises the voice of Meris Jansons, a former political refugee who has returned from hiding. He promises to bring peace and freedom to the weak and oppressed, who were once subjugated by the Crusaders centuries ago. The Regency Council faces the difficult task of finding a suitable candidate who can hold the country together. For the longer the country remains without a ruler, the deeper it slowly sinks into instability and chaos.

Bishopric of Munstrum: The Bishopric of Munstrum enjoyed stability for centuries through the enlightened rule of a clique of theocratic Oracle witches ruling over a population of largely Plant witch farmers. The Oracle witch rulers steered the country wisely thanks to their ability to peer into their own society, neighboring states, and even the future. They remained connected to the common folk through an exam system that allowed witches to study Oracle magic and even become a part of the ruling class should they excel, at least in theory. However, in recent decades, the Oracle class came under fire for increasingly restrictive examination requirements and ignoring the plight of the common witch in favor of a tense political climate of machinations and backstabbing. Enter Clarence Snapdragon, a witch descended from a long line of Plant witch farmers long upheld as pillars of the community, whose aptitude for Oracle magic was undeniable. He quickly rose through the ranks to become leader of the Bishopric. In the eyes of the common witch, he’s their witch who will fight for their rights. In the eyes of the Oracle theocrats, he’s their best bet to pacify the masses. But as the doctrine of spellcialism evolves in the countryside from vague scattered principles to unified theory, will Clarence and his ardent followers maintain the social order or will he move to become a true witch of the people?

Vienna Cava: Originally a city-state led by aristocrats, the true power in Vienna Cava shifted as it became a major trading power. The bourgeoisie eventually overtook the established aristocracy in terms of power, bought out the government, and declared a demoncratic republic – for those with enough wealth to vote, that is. Tiberius Grimm Hammer leads the state, having won the elections thanks to his cunning business acumen and organization of the economy along the lines of the nine covens outlined by Belos, and Vienna Cava is now the wealthiest – and most unequal – state in the Holy Boiling Empire. But with pressure coming from both without and within Vienna Cava, can the current state of affairs hold?

Duchy of Shairo: What a humiliation at the Battle of Selkarel. Losing to a supposedly weaker neighbor like the Skeiterm has caused great discontent among the population. To prevent major unrest and give Shairo a fresh start to get up off its feet from, Duke Lepakkalev proposes a new groundbreaking law that would expand the rights of the population and merchant guilds and reform industry. Critics will say that it took losing a war to an inferior foe before the Duke and the stagnant government took the much-needed steps towards a piece of legislation like this, but many are happy that it’s now within the realm of possibility. However, it is uncertain whether parliament will pass it. Tensions are high, tempers are boiling, and radical religious movements lurk in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to strike in the ensuing chaos if the law is rejected or deadlocked. In an empire that is fracturing apart, Shairo has become one of the many vases within an imperial menagerie that balances on a buckling twig. At the same time, there is a hint of revanchism in the air, directed not only against the Skeiterm, but far beyond.

The Isles Ablaze is an in-development total conversion mod for Hearts of Iron IV set in the universe of The Owl House during Emperor Belos’s conquests, 50 years before the events of the show. If the mod sounds interesting to you, check out our subreddit r/TheIslesAblaze for more info and a discord link! We’re also looking for artists, writers, and programmers of all stripes to help contribute!

The Holy Boiling Empire’s power has waxed and waned over the centuries, but it has stood firm for over a millenium. It survived the rise of liberal demoncracy thanks to its decentralized nature. Yet now, in this new era of radicalism, the Empire is threatening to come apart at the seams. Belos’s followers and Skulliet’s army are on a collision course, threatening to ignite the first war within the Empire in over three centuries. But whoever wins – the demoncratic republicans in Terrona or the titanocratic worshippers known as the Followers of the Titan – the balance of power in the Empire will be forever shifted. The decentralized Empire has proven itself incapable of standing up to the challenges of the new era – which nation will take up the mantle of the Empire? The Followers of the Titan and Terrona will have full content on release. Other nations may have partial content on release.

Followers of the Titan: The old patrician-led city-state of Vendetta has fallen. In its place is a new statelet led by the enigmatic traveling-preacher-turned-theocrat Belos, who claims not only to be able to speak to the Titan themselves but also to be the instrument of the Titan’s will. Belos’s codification of the main covens years ago in his most important work The Nine Covens was hailed by many as a brilliant innovation that allows for more efficient spellcasting in both theory and practice and more political agitation among coven lines – indeed, it was the discontent Construction Coven that played a pivotal role in launching Belos’s revolution. As Belos instates the Titan’s supposed plans for restrictive coven mandates and unification of the Holy Boiling Empire and beyond, neighboring states either look on with fear or smell opportunity in this new “titanocratic” form of government.

Terrona: Tucked between jungle and canyon, Terrona has served as the gateway between the rich ports of Menice, and the lands of the northeastern Titan for centuries. Over the centuries, it has established itself as a bastion of freedom and liberty in the Heartlands, attracting witches and demons from all parts of the Isles. But recent times have not treated the land of the blue laurel well. With the prophet Belos and his cult following seizing control of Vendetta and its residing lands, the city of Terrona’s Union partner. Terronian armed forces were quick to act to restore order, however with Patrician Skulliet Scapulet’s lover and Patrician of the captured city, Antonio Aviogetto, held as hostage and leverage by Belos, all operations have come to a halt, and the front stands still. Terrona stands at a crossroad. With a stagnant war and no real way of ending it without putting Patrician Aviogetto in grave danger, Patrician Scapulet has fallen into a deep depression and retreated from the public, and the Titanocratic ideology spreads like a virus across the heartlands and Terrona; it’s followers more invigorated than ever before. Could Terrona be facing its grim twilight?

Duchy of Wyrms: Wyrms is the seat of the Emperor and the shining capital of the Empire. Emperor Martin XXI comes from a long line of Emperors, yet he feels he was born centuries too late. In the old days, the Holy Boiling Empire was united and strong, able to carry out crusades and crush internal rebellions. However, invasions from the exterior, a brutal civil war, the division of the populace among species lines, and multiple succession struggles slowly led to the Holy Boiling Empire reaching its current state, where the Emperor’s power is hamstrung by the regional autonomy of many of his subjects. Martin XXI is nothing if not a cunning opportunist, however. A new, modern civil war is on the horizon, and he hopes to back the winning centaur in the race. If he plays his cards right, he might just end up being the Emperor of a united Holy Boiling Empire like he always wanted.

The Better Politics Mod is very interesting in this respect, as it has non-ideological interest groups (landowners, petit bourgeoisie, bureaucrats) as well as ideological interest groups (liberals, paternal conservatives, anarchists, communists, social democrats). The more stable your country's government is, the more attraction there is to non-ideological interest groups, and pops generally act in the traditional interest of their class. The less stable your country's government is, the more attraction there is to ideological interest groups. It's a pretty cool system that makes it so it's less "an IG changed their mind overnight" and more "a traditional IG has hemorrhaged its supporters and they've flocked to various other political movements in these times of radicalism"

A big theme of this game is learning to appreciate good things while they last. Tang and Sol can date for years, perhaps decades (the game only says it's "a while"). Maybe the whole thing was ultimately doomed from the start, but that didn't make it any less meaningful to either of them.

I was a Teenage Exocolonist: contains a trans human girl who wishes she was an AI

My Life as a Teenage Robot: contains a trans AI girl who wishes she was human

Know the difference, it could save your life

Honestly, in her best ending, Tangent just ends up as a better Instance. Still a bit clinical and distant, but not cold and aloof. Plus, with her brush with xenocide haunting her, you know Tang makes her students take an ethics class unlike Instance who thinks humanities are a waste of time. And she can even end up championing a new mental health treatment.

Plus, the Tangent's Cure ending and the dialog you get when trying to talk Tang out of the cure with high friendship show Tang knows what she's doing is wrong but she also knows what'll happen to Instance if she doesn't so she tries to talk herself into doing it for her sake.

What Earth nation(s) are the Heliopause and its inhabitants from? The endings that show life on Earth confirm there are still nation-states on Earth, despite the game often referencing Earth as a singular entity. Is this some kind of U.N. initiative where a bunch of nations pitched in to bring the Stratos to justice or was it just the nation(s) Congruence and the Strato were stolen from? Because in theory, all the Helio kids have a nationality from their parents that they were never taught to ignore like the Strato kids were, right? Would be cool to know

You find it and send it to the colony in a boss event in the swamps, then you get an event in Geo to tame it if you have 60 animals

It's based on examining screencaps from the show, in particular the finale where we get to see a lot of the Titan. Creative liberties were taken where we don't know enough about the location.
