Country

Legend

“That road was theirs… this bridge is yours… both are now ours… such has it been… for thousands of years…

A High King tried his best… forgotten as the rest…. time the final test.“

History

Through time, there have been many definitions, from large landowning families to tribe claims and united efforts to stand as one. But these days, a country is a, or part of, an Isle, identified as a distinct national entity in political geography. Or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or different people with distinct political or cultural characteristics. Regardless of the physical geography, the Council of Colours, the institution of the High King, and the Hordes of The Realm accepted this legal definition as borders between self-governing ountries. And at large, countries defined under the realm still stand, albeit some in turmoil and disorder.

Cartography

Generally a Country has one Capital, from which roads leads to borders and harbours at the Countrys edge.

 

Organisation

Countries here and countries there… and then even some in-between… the old order is shattered… and left are but ripples of the very fabric… and I foresee a fight amongst people.. over sites of interest.

Take Academy of Ea for example… and see who’s already building camps on their shores… lords of Gaslug, Thang, Esly… and even Oglan… have begun fort constructions…

Hiring in hungry men… eager for food and maybe some rare or good loot… in the near future… and I bet you that Oglan and Esly… will soon blow up… due to the exquisite and rare Red Marble they share.

Special

According to both old customs and the Law of the Realm, one is subject to a country’s laws, authorities, and taxes as soon as one is within its borders.
