Evaria

Evaria is one of the five continents in the known world, the others being Islimore, Ivlyndawn, Aldra, and Mane. The content is ruled by the Evarian Cassimer family from their capital Etaria. To the far north, lies the ruined country of Caelestos.

Geography
The Evaria mainland is bordered to the west and east almost entirely by the sea; the Whispering Bay to the east, and the Winter Sea to the west. The rivers that run through the flatlands, provide the country with fertile soil and enough rain and snow to keep the country lush and green. Stretched between them is the largest mountain range of all five kingdoms, known as the White Mountains, which separates them from the border country of Aldra to the south. There is only one major pass through the White Mountains which goes through the capital city of Etaria and through to Aldra.

People
Built upon the dignity, rare resources and bountiful lands, the typical Evarian reflects this in personality. They are strong, proud, independent, and most importantly, honest. Past experiences have left them wary of foreigners, and they care even less for those foreigners rules and religion. However, they are quick to press their own on others. A deeply spiritual people, the people of Evaria have many special ceremonies and keep very strict rules in serving their God. Unlike their kin in Islimore, men and women are largely considered equal.

Economy
Besides their rushing rivers and scenic mountains, the capital of Evaria is up-to-date with long-established external markets to give it stability. Their capital Etaria, boasts the largest mining of ore second to none. Their iron ore production makes their weapons and building material the most sought after in all five kingdoms. This makes up about one-fifth of Evaria's trading output, while the rest is dominated by textiles and other exotic products. This has brought a lot of wealth to the country and a belief that they are in fact the superior nation.

Military Strength
Evaria possesses a military that is unmatched save for the armies of Islimore, boasting around 50,000 soldiers. Their military prowess has been well tested in waves throughout history, by conquerors who have often set their gaze on their neighbors to the south. The King has taken each victory to heart and has his eyes set on the throne of Islimore.

Currently, an inquisition is in full swell with the emergence of magic in the continent. The official position of the crown and the local religion is magic itself and those who practice it are evil incarnate. Many suspected of using magi have found their death at the end of the blade. To be a magic user in Evaria is a death sentence for those who are caught.
