The humans of Heirin speak Common. Religion
Most people who live in Heirin are followers of The Senary.
Heirin wraps around the deep, calm Bay of Sorrows to the west and touches the Ash Sea and the Great Sea. It claims most of the Deir mountain range, though the range lays partly on the Heirin-Staton border. Otherwise, it is relatively flat with rolling hills. Climate and Biomes
The country has grassland and mixed forests to the north, which turn into tundra and boreal forests in the south. Heirin experiences four seasons, with mild summers and deep winters. Areas in the Southernmost part of the continent might reach lows in the 10-15* range at the coldest, with highs of mid-70s in the middle of summer. In the north, they tend to see lows in the 20s and highs in the 80s.
Heirin is a Principality of the Empire, and its citizens and Monarch are bound by the rule of the Empire. Succession is generally understood to be the eldest child of the Monarch; however, the Monarch of Heirin holds their position at the pleasure of the Emperor, who can change the order of succession or appoint a new Monarch at any time. In the event that a Prince or Princess does not produce a child to secure the succession, the succession falls to whomever the Emperor pleases.
Foreign Relations
As a vassal state of the Empire, Heirin has little room to form their own foreign relations. Enemies of the Empire are enemies of its vassals. Heirin has strong ties to Staton, and a friendly relationship with Oskk. They have a nebulous relationship with Nikandros, the last unconquered portion of the continent. Economy
The Empire limits how much trade its vassals can do with non-Empire nations, keeping them hobbled just enough to keep them from getting any ideas. Heirin is one of the Empire's main suppliers of lumber, and they also do quite a bit of herding of sheep, goats, small fowl, and the like. Heirin also has excellent hunting, and is a playground for the wealthy of the Empire.
