Taewha Four

The Taewha Four is the term used term used for four friends, who would go onto become four of the most significant figures of the sports, cultural and media scene in Quebec and Shingoryeo during the Taewha era. They would be baseball infielders Heo Myeong-Shin and Theo-Alexandre Pinson, football quarterbacks Ian Lautner, and writer Asher Lundrigan.

Each of the four men were all born in the immediate postwar period following the Quebecois and the allied forces' victory over the Free Republics in the Holy Republican Empire Liberation Campaign of 2016, with their twenties tied around the initial, turbulent decade of Christine II's reign. Coming from upper-middle class families across the four corners of the country, they carry certain ties to either the Queen's College, where at least a parent of three of them have attended in the early 2010s, also marked to be the early Jeongdeok era, or the Erskine Collegiate Institute, attended by Lundrigan and Heo.

Whether the term 'Taewha Four' accurately describes the strength of their relationships is a complicated matter. While the four of them were indeed friends, the strengths of individual relationships would vary with Heo considered to be the glue of the group. They would almost never be seen together as full four-person group in public, citing to year-round training and schedule for Heo and Pinson, Lundrigan's early semi-withdrawal from the society from his thirties onward, and eventually, the early passing of both Pinson and Lundrigan.

Nevertheless, the Taewha Four term nonetheless stuck around to describe each their significance and combined to the Quebecois sports and cultural scene in the Taewha era. Their early success, which mostly involved their personal connections and respective successes in sports of baseball and gridiron football, as well as media and highbrow literature, would later continue and expand with the Goldbloom-Heo and Lautner forming a H&N Group, a large-sized asset management company-turned-conglomerate, as well as their respective involvements in Songak Praetorian. They too would form a strong social clout in Songak and Joongyeong high society, established by the marriage of Claire Lundrigan, the daughter of eventually-tited Earl Lundrigan, to Alexandre, Prince of Abitibi in 2069.
