Vintas
Vintas is a country in the eastern part of The Four Corners of Civilization. It is bordered by the Stormwal Mountains to the east, Modeg to the north, and The Small Kingdoms to the west.
Though once part of The Aturan Empire, Vintas has been ruled for centuries by the Calanthis family. The current king, Roderic Calanthis, rules from the capital city of Renere. Other major cities include Severen, which is ruled by the Maer Alveron, and the Free City of Tinuë. Vintas also contains portions of The Eld.
Structure
In Vintas, the nobility have more privilege than in the more egalitarian Commonwealth. Some noble families can trace their lineage back hundreds of years or more. Powerful families include Calanthis, Alveron, Lackless, and Jakis.
Culture
Social rank is important in Vintish society. One custom reflecting this is the use of rings of various materials when sending messages or arranging appointments. A gold ring is sent to a person who outranks you, a silver ring to a person of equal or undetermined rank, and an iron ring to someone below you.
Vintish people tend to be superstitious, especially about the Fae and Draugar. They view the arcane arts with great suspicion but aren't fanatical or violent like their Aturan counterparts.
Divine Origins
Tehlins are those who follow Tehlu as creator and god. Their religion is the most dominant in the Aturan Empire and the Commonwealth , and is known for being strict, severe, and somewhat repressed. Tehlin priests wear pale gray robes, which are meant as a reminder of Tehlu's sacrifice of allowing himself to be immolated in order to hold the demon Encanis on the iron wheel in the fire and destroy it. The Tehlin church employs soldiers, and these are sometimes commanded by Justices , who wear a small emblem of silver scales as a mark of rank. Justices are a form of church police allowed to mete out the authority of the church in places where it holds sway.
