Soldiers want to die an honourable death and pray to Heironeous that they will. At home, loved ones pray for Heironeous for the safe return of their family members. Tempus, god of war and Lunitari, god of neutral magic are the other two major gods. Depending on the region, other gods may play a major role as well. In the dry north, people fear Set, god of darkness and desert storms. They have different rituals to keep him pleased and to prevent him from going on a destructive path. Ehlonna is honoured much in the Violet Woods. Llira (goddess of joy) en Tymora (goddess of good fortune) are prayed to during games and festivities. The kingdom forbids worshipping of The Shadow, god of dark magic, and Malar, god of the hunt. Any affiliation with them is punishable by death, as well as failing to report followers these two gods.Geography
The landscape of Raljhaj is varied. The land is on 4 sides bordered with water: In the north lies the lake Lamotal; In the east lies the sea Stat Bay; In the south lies the ocean Obun Thale; and in the west lies the sea 'I Verca Eccaia'. Even though there is so much water surround the land, there is not much water inside it; Much of Raljhaj is very dry. To the northwest there is a wasteland consistent of rocks and sand in which very little grows. A large part of Raljhaj is flat or rolling grassland.
In the south there is a volcano that has been silent since long, but legends tell of it's destructive forces.
The Violet Woods stretch far from north to south and divide the country in two.
Fauna & Flora
In large parts of Raljhaj, the plant and animal life has adapted ways to cope with drier seasons, and this is visible in the ecosystem. Grasses and grains grow well in Raljhaj and are present in abundance. What may seem as dry and barren land in summer times comes to life once the rain has fallen. Then you can see colourful flowers and hear the cittering of a variety of animals that have come from underground. Winter is mostly mild and thus there is enough food for the large diversity of creatures.
The land is known for its many varieties of cow and sheep, that are herded in large groups.
The Violet Woods are somewhat in contrast with the dry lands around it, as the forest holds a lot of water. A large variety of plants and poisonous creatures lives here. A lucky person might spot some magical critters and creatures that live deep within the forest.
Natural Resources
The soils of central east Raljhaj are rich in iron, coal and tin, which is mined heavily. As most lands are grassy, the major food income is cattle. There also grows a large amount of grain. The lands around the volcano are very fertile, therefore the region is known for exclusive vegetables.
