Prokop of Liny (Linian: Prokòp Lini; Bandard: Prokopeos vam de Liny; Pladzish: Prokopiusz z Linii; Possemian: Prokopa z Linie; Rumian: Prokopa z Lini; c. 1470-1510) was a late antique-schism Linian scribe from Liny-on-Rothene. Accompanying the popular Postulant leader Jan Janowic and the Rumian Princes Jacob Luko, Agnes Rothene, and Sophia Martin in the late Centurial Early Religious Wars, including the Ninety-Years War (1489 onwards), Filip's Wars, the Rumian-Gennarian Debt Wars, the Municipal Mutiny Wars, and the Possemian Crisis Wars (1508 backwards). Prokop became the principal historian of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, writing the History of the Religious Wars, The Cannon and The Wagon, and the Rape of Lutkevice.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL4UzHhNAw
Life
Apart from his own writings, the main source for Prokop's life was an entry in the Squirrel (Old Kingdom Rumian: бѣлъка), a Rumian encyclopedia written sometime after 1825 which discusses his early life. He was a native of Liny in the municipality of Rothene. He would have received a conventional upper class education in the Bandard classics and rhetoric, perhaps at the famous school at Brennaslout. He may have attended monastic school, possibly at kláštor-nad-Opoce (present-day Possam) or Rothene and became a scribe (klerk). He evidently knew Old High Bandard, as was natural for a man with monasterial training, and likely knew Old Rumian because of his Linian heritage. In 14██, the year before the start of Filip's Wars and Filip III's invasion of Rumia, he made his residence at Rothene and became the personal scribe of Jan Janowic, a junior pastor and the tutor of Filip's youngest son, Raymond.
Prokop was with Janowic in Rumia during his self-exile until Filip began the Siege of Lutkevice in 14██, whereupon Janowic made residence at kláštor-nad-Opoce. Prokop witnessed the Rape of Lutkevice (a term coined by him) of November, 14██ to January 14██, in which Janowic and the monks and nuns of kláštor-nad-Opoce sheltered thousands of Rumian refugees in the monastery. In 14██, Prokop and Janowic followed the army of Lucas of Chernorad until the Prince's death at the Battle of Sappingen the same year, in which Prokop and Janowic fled with Jacob Luko, Sophia Martin, and Agnes the Red. In 14██, he accompanied Janowic and the Triplate on their successful Retreat of the Wagons and their early employment by the Gennarians. In 14██, he wrote an early draft of The Cannon and The Wagon and he witnessed the death of Janowic at the Battle of the Red River Crossings, after which he stopped writing until the year 149█ when he interviewed Sophia and wrote the Rape of Lutkevice. In 149█, he finished writing The Cannon and The Wagon after interviewing Jacob Luko and Agnes Rothene. When Jacob Luko returned to Rumia in 149█ to retake the Principality of Lucas, Prokop appears to have no longer been on Jacob's staff, instead accompanying Agnes and Sophia's simultaneous retaking of the Principality of Martin, though Prokop wrote secondhand accounts of Jacob's exploits. He wrote brief passages of the 149█ Rumian-Gennarian Debt War and the Municipal Mutiny Wars of Proudok, Krockor, and Lutkevice. He wrote brief mentions of the 1489 Rumo Ghetto Massacre and the Municipal Mutiny Wars before 1490.
Prokop and the Triplate would rejoin at the Siege of Rothene of 150█. In January 150█, Prokop reunited with Raymond of Rothene. He was present at the Tyrannical Riots of March, 150█ and wrote the death of Filip in detail. The event is the single longest record within Prokop's histories, despite its short timespan. Prokop only witnessed █ years of the aftermath of Filip's Wars, writing briefly in the last chapters of the History of the Religious Wars of the 150█ Rumian-Gennarian Debt War, the 150█ Municipal Mutiny Wars of Liny and Malliny, and the Possemian Crisis Wars from 150█-1508. The last chapters are written in the format of hearsay and rumor, but there is no clarity whether Prokop personally witnessed the events or accompanied the Princes Jacob, Agnes, or Sophia during their involvements in the events.
Prokop wrote that a major Postulant church was built in Rothene, though no other evidence of the structure exists, possibly due to the 1███ Rothene Fire. In the Squirrel, he is noted to have written extensively about the structural expansions of kláštor-nad-Opoce, as well as its rebranding as the St. Matthias Monastery and the growth of the city of Possam, although his records of this were never found. The Squirrel also mentions that he wrote about the Robber-Baron Luthers, but those records were likewise never found.
It is not certain when Prokop died. Many historians date his death to 151█ when a feast was held in his honor at Valdograd by Agnes Rothene, but there was an abbot of St. Matthias Monastery called Prokop in 152█. In that year, Jacob Luko's funeral was held at St. Matthias Monastery and that abbot was requested by Josephina Jacobs, Jacob's daugher, to recite Jacob's final rites in Postulant doctrine. These events were kept recorded in the library of St. Matthias Monastery.
Writings
The writings of Prokop are the primary source of information for the rule of Filip III, the exploits of Jan Janowic, and the ascensions of Jacob Luko, Agnes Rothene, and Sophia Martin as Princes and war heros.
History of the Religious Wars
Prokop's History of the Religious Wars is his most important work, although less well known than the Rape of Lutkevice. The first five books seem to have been largely completed by 14██ and may have been published as a unit. They were, however, updated to 16th century before publication, with the latest mentioned event occurring in 150█, coinciding with events written about in the sixth book. The final tenth book brings the history to 1508.
The first two books—often known as The Path (Possemian: Cesta)—deal with his and Jan Janowic's mission around Rumia. It details Filip's pre-Lutkevice invasion in 14██ and his destruction of the farmlands, villages, and countryside of the Principality of Martin (present-day Rumia), the 'Rape' of Lutkevice, and the lives of the refugees living in kláštor-nad-Opoce.
The Religious Wars' next four books—known as The War (Possemian: Vojna)—cover Jan Janowic and Jacob Luko's successful campaigns in Gennary against Filip and Agnes Rothene's mutiny against the Gennarians. The War also covers the early military career of Prokop's friend and patron, Jan Janowic, and the post-Lutkevice life of Sophia Martin. A portion of the Municipal Mutiny Wars is also covered.
The next book—known as Before (Possemian: Předtým)—contains a compilation of memories that Prokop recalled of his time in Rothene before Filip's Wars. Before also covers the childhoods of Jacob Luko, Agnes Rothene, and Raymond of Rothene.
The final three books—known as Rothene (Possemian: Rodyn)—cover the Rumo Ghetto Massacre, the counter-invasions of the Principalities of Martin and Lucas, the Siege of Rothene, the Municipal Mutiny Wars, the Tyrannical Riots, the second Rumian-Gennarian Debt War, and the Possemian Crisis Wars.
The Religious Wars proved influential on later Possemian historiography. In the 1███s █████ wrote Human Histories, a continuation of Prokop's work in a similar style. Isabella wrote the Squirrel in the 1███s that mentions and cites Prokop many times, though she only briefly summarizes his works and prompts readers to read Prokop's work instead of her short summaries. The Squirrel contains the only evidence that some of Prokop's histories have been lost.
The Cannon and The Wagon
The Cannon and The Wagon is a series of transcribed interviews with Jan Janowic, Jacob Luko, and Agnes Rothene by Prokop regarding the three strategists' utilization of the wagonfort.

The Rape of Lutkevice
The Rape of Lutkevice is a transcribed interview with Sophia Martin by Prokop detailing Sophia's early life in Lutkevice while it was under siege by Filip III of Rothene, her adolescence in captivity at Sappingen, and her perspective of the Battle of Sappingen.

Prokop is inspired from the famous Byzantine historian, Procopius.
"Бѣлъка" is Old East Slavic for "Squirrel." The reason a historical encyclopedia was named "Squirrel" is because I discovered "Белочка" (Squirrel) from Russian as a possible diminutive form of "Изабелла" (Isabella), banking on the "бел" part of it to form "Белочка." Isabella was a candid, informal scholar in this fictional world; she named her magnum opus after her own nickname. She may never be mentioned in this story again, since she only mentioned Prokop in a single entry and didn't write much about Prokop's period of history in any great detail; instead she prompts the reader to read Prokop's histories for themself. However, she was the first of many fan-historians to mimic Prokop, thus birthing Historian as an occupation.
I decided to publish this first chapter while it's still unfinished. I will finish it at a later date.
I would like to know what folks think of this wikipedia format for storytelling.
Thank you for reading.
