Eien - Sun god
Eotl - Goddess of the Land
Ghala - Goddess of Rain
Odione - Moon Goddess
Tyris - Goddess of the Cosmos
Four Courts:
Court of Eienyl (military/navy)
Born here? You are eiean
Court of Eotlle (crops/animal goods/artisan goods)
Born here? You are eolian
Court of Odion (jewels/fashion/black market dealings)
Born here? You are odien
High Court of Tyrias (high royalty/wealthy class throughout)
Born here? You are tyrian
Outlying groups:
Pirates; mostly dealing in black market trade around the odione court, very few pirate ships because of the navy but the few that do manage to evade the navy are infamous
The Forest Children; a group of people who pledge their allegiance solely to the goddess eotl, inhabiting dense forests in the court of eotl. Tensions are high between them and the inhabitants
The Fallen; a group of people all over the isle who wish to overthrow the government
Court Relations:
Eienyl -> Eotlle = cordial when it counts/tense. Most eolians see those from eienyl as power hungry brutes, most eieans see those from eotlle as tree hugging sissys who would never be able to defend themselves come another war. Eienyl refuses to help eotlle with their forest children problem Eienyl -> Odion = tense. Eiean navy and odien pirates are constantly at each others throats, the courts argue whether or not it’s even in eienyl jurisdiction to persecute odien natives instead of the odion court themselves. Many speculative rumors that odien court members may be involved in the black market trading Eienyl -> Tyrias = comfortable/friendly/symbiotic. Tyrias works very closely with the eienyl court to ensure the people of oarae remain docile and complacent in their ruling. Eienyl court is rewarded with money, jewels, and funding for their own advances. Eotlle -> Odion = neutral. Trade between the two courts is always lucrative from both sides, aside from that, they don’t have many relations. Cordial when needed, no bad blood. Neutral parties. Eotlle -> Tyrias = friendly/loyal. Eotlle’s exotic food trade is lucrative with tyrias. Tyrias offers some protection/security against the forest children. Eotlle is tyrias’ biggest butt kisser, highly religious group who believes in the teachings from tyrias missionaries Odion -> Tyrias = secretive/tense. Tyrias is a high buyer for odion’s jewels and fabric trade, some tyrias rulers are rumored to have a foot in odions black market door,
