Iotho (ai-oath-oh)
Though not as totalitarian as Steithandahl, Iotho is one of the more heavily governed realms. Religious worship is prioritised above all else and Clerics/Paladins/Acolytes of deities are some of the most respected people in the realm. Worship, however, is free, all religious followers are welcomed and celebrated with a focus on the community that worship provides and not the pros and cons of each god. That is not to say that this culture pervades all areas of the land, though, as many citizens believe the devotion to lesser Gods than the Primus to be a waste of time and thus look down on those who follow other deities. The religious sway of this land is probably a result of the fact that its capital is the oldest city other than Archeaum on the planet, it dates back to the Evolutionary Era and as such has high cultural and historical importance. However, due to the large religious focus in the realm there is an underbelly to the land, those who wish to see religious leaders demoted and worship abolished. Much like Raashen there is an unusual marrying of island and continent cultures with the Tabaxi and Yuan-ti as well as a large naval culture as a result. Some islands have even been manufactured by mages in order to aid this lifestyle. Religious leaders, however, are not so content with this marring of the God’s image for the world.

Demography & Population: Iotho consists mostly of Tabaxi, Yuan-ti, Tieflings and Firbolgs. Humans, Halflings and Goblins also quite common among the populace. Orcs, Dragonborn and Gnomes are rare but also found in Iotho Religion: Religion and worship of the Primus is highly encouraged and respected in Iotho, all worship is welcomed but those who devote themselves to lesser Gods than the Primus are often looked down upon Technology: The least advanced realm in the world, not through of lack of trying but because of laws from religious leaders who see magic and tech combinations as an affront to what the Gods planned for the world. The production and possession of magic/tech products is strictly prohibited- research however is not as it goes against tenets of Sapredia Military: Iotho's military is small and mostly made up of religious zealots and Paladins- there is however a heavy guard presence within towns and cities in order to keep the peace Climate: Similar in climate to Raashen, though it is warmer than the rest of the continent. Iotho has a very hot climate with desert mountains in the North and West, settlements are thus found more commonly in the South and East- winters have no snow here
