Visn
Visn is a land dedicated to the study of science and magic. Together, they have developed many inventions such as firearms, airships, and Long ranged scrying devices capable of being projected anywhere in the lands. However, beneath its surface lay those who would twist this knowledge into something more nefarious.
Public Agenda
Visn believes in the study and development of magic and science in an ethical manner to benefit all of Andarrea. Publicly, they outlaw and denounce the practices of human experimentation, necromancy, and demon-worshipping.
Assets
The most valuable resource Visn has is Inferium. With Inferium they power their cities, airships, and automated defenses. It also used for them to create metamagic rods, wands and many of the magic items that they sell.
History
The country was formed by a group of alchemists, scientists, and mages that were banished by The Inquisition of Axis. The banished moved to the southernmost part of the mountain due and abundance of a mineral called Inferium. Inferium was a crystal capable of enhancing and replicating magical abilities. Harnessing this ability, the banished managed to lift one of the mountain peaks in the sky and build the flying city of Iftin.
The banished allowed for many of society’s outcasts to come to their land to learn and spread their own ideas. This prompted the Inquisition to lead a full-scale crusade against Visn. Unfortunately for them, the flying city proved hard to assault and the experienced spellcasters of Visn pushed them out. However, this attracted many unsavory characters from necromancers to demon worshippers to doctors who utilized humans in many inhumane experiments. It got so bad that the Council of Kingdoms had to threaten a joint invasion of the country if these practices were not outlawed. While these practices have been officially outlawed, rumor has it that some experimentation goes on behind locked doors. Despite this tarnish on their reputation Visn got to what it did best and within the decade they creating marvels the likes of which the world had never seen. They created wands, metamagic rods, basic medicine, and firearms. More recently they developed automated machines capable of combat and airships. Despite its shortcomings, Visn has bought a lot to the world of Andarrea, both good and bad.

Demography and Population
Visn is home to many of the exotic races that find themselves picked on by what are deemed the "normal" races.
Technological Level
Visn is the first country to create and integrate fully autonomous machines into their police force. Additionally, a majority of its military and police are armed with the latest firearms that are said to be rifles capable of firing multiple times before having to be reloaded.
Foreign Relations
Visn enjoys a very lucrative trading partnership with Thylodis. While Visn invents the technology, Thylodis distributes it throughout the lands and enjoys a small kickback with each sale of the product. The other nations view Visn as a valuable and friendly nation, but also a trouble maker. The only nations that actively dislike Visn are The United Northern Kingdoms and The Northern Grasslands. The Kingdoms dislike Visn due to the sheer influence of the Inquisition. Many in the Northern Grasslands are superstitious and believe that the use of this technology could corrupt the soul or curse them.
Trade & Transport
Visn mostly deals with magical items. Anything from as small as a magical dagger to as big as an airship Visn is willing to sell it. However, the inventors of the nation have a tendency to sell their technology to the highest bidder regardless of legality or morality. This oftentimes leads to advanced weapons in the hands of bandits and worse. They have bypassed some of the blame by first selling the tech through Thylodis first, but they have landed in hot water with other nations.
