Hœm (hœm)
The Yellow Walled Cities
"The Yellow Kingdoms of Hœm": Enclosed by a giant horseshoe-shaped wall of yellow brick of ancient and unknown origin, Hœm is a small nation of wild diversity. It consists of thirty cities/communities each lead by a "king" and each of these kings sit in a senate which then governs the nation. The nation's governance is called the the Thirty Thrones and rules from a senate. Hœm is the most ethnic, racial, and linguistically diverse nation in the known world. As such, its official language is Raachern. All known races and tribes can find their kin and kind inside its yellow walls. All are welcome.

Defences
Other than its mouth to the Sea of Chaalai on its southside, the entire nation is surrounded by a gigantic yellow wall that stands at great height and is passable only at certain points.
The seaports are the most vulnerable part, as they are unwalled. Although, it is believed that the wall does arc around under the water and the rough passage that occurs whenever boats pass over the ring are indications of this.
Additionally, it is said that the yellow bricks of the walls are made of local soil that is invested with powerful protective magics that guard the cities from ill fortune. The brick colour and the unique local yellowbark trees are found only in Hœm.
Industry & Trade
The Hœmmé are largely fishers, travelers, poets, andventurers, and artists. They trade with all nations of the various regions and have good relations with most of them. Although occasional conflicts with the bellicose Ptarshakkians do occur, the walled nation has never experienced a full-on war.
