KINGDOM BANNER:
GENERAL BIO: Mehrydaen is a peaceful and prosperous land of rolling hills, deep forests, frigid lochs, rich farmland and soaring mountains. Its capital of Emryseld is a metropolis of culture and trade on the coast of The Great Loch. Its walls are 20 feet high and built from the strongest white granite. The military and naval power of Mehrydaen is one of the mightiest in the world. Mehrydaen is separated into 50 Fiefs, each ruled over by an elected lord. The government of Mehyrdaen is a sort of democracy, its decisions made by The King’s Council. The council is made of the 50 lords and headed by the King, the only official that isn’t elected. This is a system that seems to work for everyone.
Culture: The people of Mehrydaen are skilled diplomats and traders as well as mighty warriors. The “Code” of all people of Mehrydaen is Family, Country, God and Sometimes Money. These are their values. These are what they base their entire lives around.
Religion: They follow the religion of the First God, in which they believe a singular creator, Ehsus, brought them forth from the sea, as he brought plants from the Earth.
