Araby

To the far south east is Araby a land that follows the teachings of the Wissen in a very different way to West. The people of Araby take a quite liberal approach to the one true god and have no laws banning magic or reading, they believe god placed these tools in their hands for the benefit of all and they should be used.

A nation hungry for knowledge, a place which celebrates its libraries likes cathedrals in the west, books are prized and given attention. However cut off for many centuries by the armies of Salem they lack great swathes of knowledge and have developed their own ways of thinking.

One of the greatest wonders in Araby is the way they treat elementals, some elementals even follow the religion of the One True God. Elementals power much of their technology and do so willingly under strict contractual agreements as to their treatment and reward. Such is the skill of Araby’s Theurgical engineers that they have been able to create idols that act like storage vessels for the faith of their congregation and keep evil at bay.

The land of Araby is ruled by many Princes and Princesses, no single noble seems to be in charge of all. This creates a dysfunctional chaos as each Prince or Princess believe their way is correct for the future of the land. This leaves the peoples and advisers below running around trying to make the chaos work and ensure no one Prince or Princess gets left out.

Since the Serbian Princes joined their lands into the Arabic nation the chaos has become much worse and only time will tell if this book loving nation will find a Prince strong enough to lead them or if they will be forever ungoverned directionless mess where laws can change by the hours or by whichever Prince is present at the time.
