Queendom of Asterland

The Queendom of Asterland is one of the four most powerful nations on the continent of Ethelria and one of the participants in the Covenant of New Coron.

The Queendom is a feudal society that is ruled based on strict principles of nurturance and growth. Citizens of the Queendom are expected to nurture the land, tend crops and have a deep love and understanding of nature. Along with a strong society, Asterland is also deeply spiritual and it's state religion is mandatory. It has a very strong agricultural tradition.

The Queendom is home to many species, most commonly humans, elves, gnomes and halflings. Many are clerics, druids and rangers. Many treefolk, sprites and dryads are sympathetic to Asterland, while often not formally recognizing themselves as part of it, even when living within it's boundaries. While the religion of Asterland holds all live sacred, it is not strictly pacifist. It does view protecting society and nature from does who would harm it, even by proactive force, as a sacred duty. Furthermore, because the Queendom sees itself as the ultimate liberator and bringer of freedom, it is also quite expansionist.

While the Queendom is often seen as a beacon of hope to the citizens of other countries, scholars like to point out that it's strict adherence to religion and spirituality can be oppressive and small-minded.
