Serukis

Land of hope

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
  Serukis is a country on the continent of Caia, a relatively large land to the north of the Teeth. Along its coastline are more than a hundred islands in a stretch of ocean known as the Grey Waters. It is a temperate place with harsh winters, full of forests, rocky moors, and hills.   The name of Serukis comes from the Kaienese words 'seru' meaning hope and 'kys' meaning land. It means 'land of hope'. The country was founded by Kaienese refugees, though the land encompassing both Serukis and Caillah was once known as Vasethal, the homeland of the Koushan Mai. Though Koushan Mai still live in Serukis, they are very much in the minority.   Serukis is ruled by a monarchy, though the king is backed up by four High Lords. Each high lord, including the king, are considered to be the avatar of one of the Five Lords and the interpreter of their divine will.

Okay, so this is one of the names of your in-universe countries AND your username hrm?   Quite the intrigue if I say so meself.

Haha yeah... I didn't think this through when I signed up. Been using a country name as a username for a long time - the whole worldbuilding thing didn't click. :D

Woo! I think this is the first article of yours I've had a chance to read this month. I just recently realized that you were having fun with stub expansion and that there weren't notifications coming in for all (any?). I shall have to go exploring.   Anyway, just leaving this here to remind you that I love your world and to tell you that I'm so happy you're continuing work on it.

I love that this is a place that people look to for hope. May the five avatars fulfill this promise to the best of their abilities. :)

Looks like Serukis is getting added to my 'let's write in 2024' list. :D Thank you for your interest! I really should work on this one because it's the setting of my novel. XD   People do live on many of the islands, yes! :D

It's lovely that you named a country after yourself. The article would be interesting to read.

Haha, more accurately I named myself after the country. XD It's been around since I was like 12/13. This is the article I'm planning to write first this year. Thank you! :)
