Imeára

The kingdom of Imeára is located in the center of the great continent and is the land that enjoys the greatest exposure to the Great Walkers presence. It is a land locked kingdom that serves as a way point between the cultures of many lands. The people of Imeára see themselves as the hub of all cultures and with their centralized location, it is not easily contested by their neighbors. Their capital resides directly along the Giants Causeway, the city itself divided in two with the causeway running down the center. Yanta Alkaringue, the city of a thousand bridges (though that count is hotly contested by new arrivals), is a great metropolis and bustling hub where people from all across the landscape come to celebrate the Walkers Wander. The council of the nine realms also holds its assemblies here, when the various members can be pulled away from their work in their own regions. Their meeting place at the center of the great continent, where two of the bridges draw together forming a great hall directly above the Giants Causeway. They will gather at least once per annum, to discuss the alliance and to insure that all members regions are supported by the collective. To come together around issues of trade and commerce, peace and prosperity and to hold council when great tragedies and disturbances plague the kingdom. The city itself also holds a nickname, The Horn of Plenty. Embracing this colloquial adage the citizens have erected great war horns on towers peppered across the land. The buglers will let out a single long sustained bellow each night with the setting of the sun, to announce the safety of the kingdom. In times of war, famine, or strife the buglers will use these horns as a warning system, with a series of numbered horn blows to communicate important information to the denizens of the town. If a frantic, chaotic series of horn blows is heard all know to take shelter beneath the city within it's underground sewers, catacombs and shelters. For this means that they can expect to see massive leathery wings and rows of sharp teeth descending from the sky to blast apart the battlements and to take whatever can be snatched before the hammer can hefted and Planck's Progeny can be assembled. The elected representative for the region is a human man by the name of Dalinar Kohlin. He rose to fame during the great war against the Emperor of the Sun liberating his people and earning the trust of Dolores Huerta in the process. At that time he was known as the Black Thorn, a hard man and fiend upon the battlefield. None could stand before his blade as he would lead charges across the battlefield but his meeting with Dolores changed him forever. Being a highborn man he had never spent time in the fields, or on the streets, never truly understood the struggles of those he was tasked with fighting for. His doffed his armor and dropped his sword after this conflict going so far as to discard even his shoes. At this point he undertook a journey around the world following in the wake of the great walker and learning the ways of cooperation, patience and care from the People of the Leaf. This experience changed this once hardened man into a person of discipline, who sought to unite the various kingdoms and realms under a banner of peace. He continues on this mission today, an equal voice of the council of the nine realms.
