Heraldlit Holy State, circa 948
Capital: Shepherd's Keep
Heraldlit consists of the main kingdom, comprised of the provinces on the west coast and surrounding Reykki Lake, the siren tribes on the penninsula, the southern territories, and the eastern coast colonies. Areas on the northwest coast were captured by Herony Empire.
Population: 10.4 million, mostly voidlings and humans. Northern areas have sirens, easterns contain hallow voidlings, and southern areas have brr'dohv.
Most in Heraldlit follow the House of Herus, a religion praising the sun god and the light and warmth he gives to the world, despite the country being mostly nocturnal. He was the one who created the Dialstone, an augury relic allowing those holding it a direct connection to him as well as divination magicks, giving raise to the secondary religious pope role of Dialkeep.
Major exports include wooden crafts, buttons, tools, and furniture, and surprisingly freshwater fish and oysters. As voidlings are pathivores, they often keep pets and there import a lot of exotic creatures and xolies. Other exports include bamboo products, gossamer, and woven clothes.
The social norms of Heraldlit form into "circles" of ranking among others you know. Your first circle is your partner, immediate family, and closest friends. Your second circle is coworkers, friends, your employees, etc. Your third circle are those that are aquaintances or you'd only address formally. There is also the "royal circle," which is the Dialkeep, Divine Liege, their heirs and aristocrats and barons.
