Kingdom of Indiran

The Kingdom of Indiran 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 Kingdom of Indiran is a feudal society that focuses on loyalty, stability and honor. It is ruled by a king, why is owed fealty by a large number of counts, dukes and barons, who in turn are owed fealty by lower nobility. The nobility see it as their sacred duty to protect those within their lands, and the citizens see it as their sacred duty to be loyal to their lords and ladies and provide them with labor.

The people of the Kingdom of Indiran view egotism and self-interest as the cause of all evil, and it is fairly easy to get a higher ranking noble to intervene if the population can make a reasonable case that the current lord is abusing their power. Abuses of power are, therefore, quite rare and generally the people of Indiran lead a fairly stable and pleasant, if somewhat boring life. The military prowess of the armies of Indiran is unmatched, although the creativity of it's leader often isn't.

The people of Indiran are often distrustful of strangers and the unknown. The people of the kingdom are almost exclusively humans, gnomes and dwarves, with a small number of halflings. Generally the people of Indiran are distrustful of elves. Dwarves on the other hand are naturally attracted to the values of Indiran and are happily welcomed in it's ranks.

While Indiran is generally distrustful of the unknown, it does recognize the value of art and sciences. It is often a matter of pride for lords to maintain a retinue of artists and wizards. Many of the largest cities of Inidiran have one or more wizard's universities.
