Are foreign languages taught to the children?

There are as many spoken languages on Ith as there are are in this world, if not more, and many more that have been forgotten.

Of the 70 nations and city-states that make up Theyda, at least 42 of them commonly speak languages that are either descended from or were heavily influenced by the Theyan language. These languages include (but are not limited to) Stalanese, Bostian, Iacori, Hestaxian, Eastern-Heshori, Kazinadan, and Atharan; among others.

In Uginar; there are a great number of languages that come from the myriad nomad clans, including a few that have come into being due to exposure to Theydan tongues, all of this on yop of a greater number of regional dialects. The Kingdom of Okuron recognizes at least 200 commonly spoken languages within it's borders, though the official language of it's ruling class is Hazar.

First off, many animals you would expect to be domesticated in this world are; such as dogs, cats, cattle, and the like.

But some fantastical pets include Okuronan Riding Rhinos, Stalanese Terrorbirds, and Kazinadan Elk.

Right now, only the Cult of the Sapphire Eye and by extension, Kazinada is interested in and actively colonizing Uginar. There are few reasons why most other Theydan nations do not.

Sailing technology is not actually sophisticated enough for massive voyages across oceans. The only reliable route to Uginar from Theyda is a route of island pitstops, all of which are tightly controlled by Kazinada. This makes any trip to the continent not meant to expand the cult's interests on the continent an expensive affair.

The Kingdom of Okuron has politely made it clear that any threat to it's borders, such as a massive influx of colonizing barbarians, will be met with by one of the most formidable armies in history.

Oh certainly!

It's very common practice in Okuron,though the Crown Princess Daniid is pushing to abolish it.

Meanwhile the economy of Kazinada is reliant on slave-trade to the point that a mass abolitionist movement could conceivably destroy the state.

The region that the Heshori Union presides over has always had a strict taboo against slavery, to the point that raiding parties from the nation regularly assult slave-caravans with the goal of liberating the captives.
