Big surprise: a hypocrite does the very thing they speak against

Why is it bullshit? I genuinely thought it was her and not you.

Roewyn's Sigil is the Snake and the Capital City is Ragon

Minor Cities & Direction from the Capital:

Debolens to the East

Yedrodon to the West

Glin to the South

Major Exports:

Gemstones

Grain

Cotton

Silk

Military Advantage:

Knights of Roewyn

Roewynian Knights inherit their titles from their Fathers and in turn pass on their titles to their eldest son, therefore all Roewynian Knights are exclusively male and undergo rigorous training from a young age to obtain their knighthood. 

Roewynian Knights are most lethal with the shield and spear, their strategy in warfare contingent upon perfect unison in combat.

Mountain Snakes

These formidable warriors are both male and female and are trained to hunt, apprehend, and even exterminate magi. Children who are orphaned due to magic are raised and trained by the Mountain Snakes. If the second parent perishes due to magical causes and the remaining parent is unable to take care of their child, they have the option of having their child adopted and trained by the Mountain Snakes and are compensated for their donation.

Mountain Snakes are highly skilled in hunting, they have the most extensive knowledge in toxic warfare and use it as an advantage over magi. Given time Mountain Snakes are able to remove a person’s connection to magic altogether, a process that is done to all Mountain Snakes as initiates. 

Additionally the Mountain Snakes carry stones that glow whenever they are in the presence of a mage. 

It has been said that to battle against the Roewynian Army is to battle Death himself.

Societal Structure:

In Roewyn lands and titles are inherited and passed down to the eldest son. Daughters and younger born sons often learn a trade, or take up work upon their families’ lands.

Only men can be Knights, but the Mountain Snakes may choose any young boy or girl to become an initiate into their order.

The current King of Roewyn is King Tiberius Roewyn and is portrayed by Stephen Dillane as he appears as Stannis Baratheon from TV’s Game of Thrones.

Political Affiliations: 

Roewyn and Varaveth have been neighbors and rivals for over a thousand years. 4 centuries ago they were engaged in a prolonged and bloody war that lasted 115 years which saw no clear victor but a large amount of casualties. In the histories it is known as the ‘War of Red Mountains.’

Roewyn attacked Miramor 50 years ago and nearly conquered them. The war lasted 12 years and Miramor was supported by Varaveth for the final 3, support that turned the tide in Miramor’s favor.

Roewyn’s forces, allied with Dazezia, were in the middle of a siege on Fife when Roewyn was attacked by Alyhar.

This year Roewyn’s Capital, Ragon was attacked by Alyhar, in a conflict that lasted only 1 week the city was taken and the nation fell to foreign control.

Climate:

The long Summers of Roewyn are matched only by the long months of rain that make the air so unbearably humid. The winter months offer nothing but a cool breeze that turns into a frigid night, the only snow that the Roewynians see dot the tops of the mountains. Only twice in the last decade has their been a recorded snowfall upon the planes.

Geography: 

The capital city of Ragon sits as a towering gem of architecture against the rolling mountain range that nearly encompasses all of Roewyn. The dreaded Deep Mines have several entrances within these ranges and are interconnected to form a labyrinth that goes deeper beneath the country than most even realize or believe possible. 

The minor cities dot the vast plains of Roewyn, with Glin sitting the furthest South upon the narrow channel that separates Roewyn’s borders from Miramor’s.

To the North the mountain ranges stretch as far as the eye can see, eventually the open to encompass half of Varaveth before stretching even further to border Lageya.

Special Information:

Roewyn is currently occupied by Alyharian forces, the ruling council member’s name is Idris Infante and he is portrayed by Kevin J. Wilson as he appears as Albinius from TV’s Spartacus.

Roewyn is despised by many other countries, after The Great Doom they were the first nation to go to war with another.
