KINGDOM NAME: Dry Land
KINGDOM BANNER: A rectangle, brown sheet with a empty gold circle. Inside a single white moon with many silver lines depicting rays an followers dot the space between the inside moon and outside gold.
GENERAL BIO:
The Dry Land were found in a wet world of rapid storms, foggy temps and tantrum weather. Mud grab the boots of nomads of all colors, sinking horses and men alike to their graves. Fragments from the distant tribal skirmishes lie swallowed by marshes from decades ago. The Dry Land was founded by an empire that slowly absorbed the divided human tribes and states with its massive architectural feats and strong agriculture.
The kingdom is made up of 3 walls, each separating the classes and laborers. At the center lies religious, cultural and formal palaces and buildings of great majesty. Many of which lack opulence bur make up for it by their stunning size and mind bending complexity of designs. To stand the soggy foundations and outside aggression, its building design is well experienced. The inside have specially constructed roofs and windows to artificially cater to their crops, but outside the nobles and masters the lower classes feel the bite of seasons for their food supply.
All men are conscripted into the army. All duties are assigned. Women, men and children are tasked with learning arts and history. Making Dry Land educated for the time. Mostly, only in decorative arts. If you do not fight, you grow. If you do not grow, you weave, paint, knit, arrange flowers, sing. This tight society means that the towns, even poor ones are over flowing with art, music and decorations.
Culture: The general attitude is one of disgust to hedonism. Artistic expression of body are encouraged but mostly men and women are covered up, sometimes to the extreme. The over flow of art has devalued it commercially. Making society manufacture art in a time where mass production of wallpaper, paintings and books are hard. They care about face, loyalty and abstracts. Rebellions against kings are never called "rebellions" but "restoring the true king" hunger take a back seat to support.
Religion:
As a whole, the religion they follow is Kimizi. A living moon. Their temples are elaborate master pieces, lined with miles of arts and clothes. Their priests sing songs, draw and spends monk like lifes worshiping their architectures of long rods with empty holes. Kimizi floods these with smoke. This smoke is used to power mages, since. As a city, they have no magical understanding. Their religion is their entire source of mana.
