Country Name: Terre D'oiseaux(also nicknamed Land of Flightless Birds.)

Map Color: Blue

Inhabitants: Hibou- A owl like humanoid incapable of flight.(there will be a picture later.)

Government Style: Feudal Monarchy.

Culture: Legend has it that the Hibou could once fly and this has not been forgotten by them. They are generally are one of two schools of thought. There are the Highbreds, whom believe that they as a race were cursed and dream of oneday taking to the skies again. The majority of the Hibou are Highbreds and usually are the more hyper and arrogant part of society. The other faction of the Hibou culture are the Scarlet Worshippers. The Scarlet worshippers also believe that their race once had flight but believe it was taken away for a reason. They worship a ancient race of wolf like beings once called Shadogs. There are very few left and they mostly wander forests as nomads. There rarity has caused them to fall into legend.
There military goes by a rule of speed of power and thus they make use of lighter armors made of leather, fur, bone, or wood to protect themselves. They are also known for their great libraries which often adorn all of there towns. Most religious centers are not found in convientant places within towns but rather in far off places that are considered spiritual. Despite their advances most of their structures are made of wood. The often refer to their homeland as the Land of Flightless Birds.

Important Locations:
Remnis- Capital city, located along the coast and is a huge center of trade. Despite its importance they built no wall around it as they typically do not use siege warfare.
Highbred Temple- A temple in the north in which many highbred go to celebrate there religion and plan a return to the glory of flight.
Scarlet Temple- A place of worship in the south which the Scarlet worshippers go to celebrate their religion. It is rumored that they hide the legendary Shadogs here but that has never been proven.
Southern Farmlands- a collection of farms in the south that supplie most of the empire. Most are bean or rice farms but there are some grain farms mixed in.
Grassy Plains- Most of the forests in the Tabou homeland have been completely cut down and now all that is left is large flat expanses of land.
