THE BARCILLIANS
the empire beyond the spires
Through the passes of the great Southspires is the kingdom of Barcid, a country known for being both beautiful and deadly -- considering it is surrounded on all sides by ocean, mountain, or the Great Waste of the southern desert. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- the sheer monstrosity that is its geographical surroundings, the people of Barcid are known to be hardy, intelligent, and impeccably inventive. They see the magic used by their neighbors as a crutch, often deeming it dangerous and unreliable. Because of this, the Barcillians lean upon science and invention, making them perhaps the most advanced of the nearby realms.
INSPIRATION: the ottoman empire, dorne of game of thrones
Teasers: magic is seen as taboo or a secret to hide, quite liberal in the ways of love and gender identity, an empire without an emperor (wait for it :D), language is a combination of spoken spanish-based and written arabic-based, scientific and mathematical geniuses
