It is 1681 and the nation of Indra is wealthy and prosperous, it's people are doing as as some of the royals in other countries and the courtiers are some of the wealthiest in the world. They have the finest goods and luxuries the world can offer them. Indra lies in the heart of the continent on the main trade route of the Aladren River. It's capital city, Ebivini, lies on the banks of the river and flourishes outwards. It is a pertinent stopping point for all traders moving up and down the river to stock up on items from around the continent and supplies for the long journey ahead to the next city, Garden. Garden is the gate city that leads into the nation of Indra. There are several other gate cities but Garden is the busiest one of them all.
To the North of Indra lies the Scaora Desert, to her West and East lie the Chiaz Mountains and the Yalar Mountains respectively. To Indra's South lies the Jungle of Amura, Indra's lands are fertile and her rolling hills are said to have been carved out by a glacier many eons ago though we cannot be sure. Her people have many trades and crafts but Indra's people are know for their skills with horses and the bovines they breed there. Their horses are said to be some of the best in the world and their beef unsurpassed anywhere known to man. Ivani are the light riding horses that pull carriages and are ridden about readily by citizen, Orica are the heavy drafts that pull carts of goods and heavier items or work the farm lands and Epsuli are the horses of the elite. They are a delicate cross between the Ivani and Orica and come in all manner of exotic patterns while common horses are generally brown, red, or black.
Indra's courtier system is similar to that of many kingdoms in that it is divided up into regions and there are ranks for each region though the courtiers rule mostly from the city of Ebivini. They visit their regions only when trouble arises.
Indra is neighbored by four different countries, Escova to her North, Zeelu to her East, Manora to the South, and Friesia to the West. Relations with these countries are rather good but Manora is a small nation that lies in the Jungle of Amur and partly in the Yalar Mountain range. It’s people do not thrive as those in Indra do and many try and cross the border to remain permanently in Indra.
For our purpose even though it was invented several years after this we are going to have running water and flushable toilets (we’re rich remember?) and characters will be in their twenties and thirties as people didn’t tend to live super long back in the day. You may name your own regions for your characters I will be making several posts after this one for more information and character listings and what not.
As for fashion the ladies are just getting into the bustles on the backs of dresses with hoop skirts and showing a bit of cleavage, classily of course. The men are wearing knee length pants with white leggings underneath those with jackets, a vest, and a scarf of sorts. We're going to act like powdered wigs weren't popular though. Kind of ruins the fun of characters to cover their lovely hair with a hideous powdered wig.
Here are some pictures for fashion,
