Freylis
capital: A floating tower in the center of the four islands... though each island has it's own capital.
government: Each island has it's own High Lord who rules from it's capital. There is also a High Prince, actually the strongest of the High Lords, who gains access to the tower at the center of the four islands. The High Prince is Zearhirc Tapestri, High Lord of Hesriyl. The other High Lords are Rassert de Tyeris of Noven, Firem Perunigh of Greacil, and Recshelo Daethoun of Phalthothis.
religion: For the most part, people worship their Ancestors and natural spirits. A few temples of Gods associated with varying properties do exist, however the tyrannical reign of the current High Prince is causing much change.
geography: Freylis is actually a set of islands arranged in a four pointed "diamond" shape. Each Island is about 3hrs journey, by boat, from each other. The climate of the islands is very windy, and usually overcast. Kind of like what people describe Earth's England as, except the temperatures are always 20 degrees F to 40 degrees F in the summer and well below zero in the winter.
cities: Comstanin on the island of Noven. Elsisteiyn on the island of Greacil. Legacy on the island of Hesriyl. Desrialg on the island of Phalthothis.
architecture: Often appears to be very Gothic mixed with a slight influence of Byzantine decoration.
clothing: The people dress in thick leathers that are lined with soft fur, or other such heavy warm materials on the outside. Lighter, looser items are worn underneath. The quality and type of fabric/fur is determined by social standing, and a "code" of sorts is enforced (i.e., any commoner caught with ermine as a cloak lining will be imprisoned).
notes: Magic in a conventional sense is not known to the area. They do have "elementalists", but they are extremely rare and most only possess abilities that correspond to one element. The elementalists are extremely well respected and feared, as their abilities are rare and often useful to the vast militaries of this area. Culture: Very warlike/militaristic, and lots of government and politics. There is a huge rift between the aristocracy and the poor. The people are usually practical, tanned due to the workaholic atmosphere, but jolly towards friends and a warm drink. The money system of Freylis is not that of much of the rest of the known world. Freylis monentary system: 50 emeralds = 1 Zitral. 10 Gold coins = 1 emerald. 10 bronze coins = 1 gold coin. "Zitral" is a rare black metal as hard diamond. Those of great importence may see on occasional artifact made of zitral... the rich use emeralds, the common use gold, and the poor use bronze. The floating tower at the center of the islands contains the greatest library in Freylis, and room of magical crystals, whose purpose is as yet unknown...
