The Kingdom
Kingdom values
Thenatere is the centre of luxury and excessive spending in Norlaria, wealth being a significant component to your status within the kingdom, as long as it was obtained lawfully. Improper means of gaining wealth is frowned upon, and even most peasant jobs are decently paid in this kingdom.
Thenaterians often have good intentions, but an encouraging amount of gold can usually help conversations along, although it would be difficult to find people willing to break the law, unless you’re paying large figures.
They are a proud kingdom, they believe in displaying your power and strength through whatever displays you can and some people seem to take that as a reason to spend money on ridiculous things. While some can seem obnoxious in their wealth, Thenaterians appreciate earnest effort and honest work,
Known for
Thenatere is a large kingdom with a lot of wealth, mostly centred in the main city, the more wealth your family has, the more respected you are. Some people choose to show their wealth in their expensive, flamboyant clothing and jewellery, or loud displays of insincere charity, others use their wealth to provide work or help those less fortunate. One of those with excess wealth built what is now the jewel of their capital city, the centre of knowledge in Norlaria, the Rosenbrandt Atheneum.
They’re also known for creating luxury items, if you’re looking for expensive gemstones cut in a certain way, or delicate, finely crafted jewellery out of silver, gold, platinum, Thenatere is the place to look. Most kingdoms have people who can take raw materials and turn it into something more usable or profitable, Thenatere does it with style and an extravagance found nowhere else and make the extra touch that other kingdoms might deem unnecessary.
Thenaterians can come across as stuffy and pompous and sometimes a little precious, they prefer to stick with what they know and what they’re good at and they hate to fail, but most respect those who make an earnest effort in their work and their life, however they make their money or spend their day
Government and Monarchy
Law Enforcement
The soldiers stationed to protect the cities and towns, also known as the Vakida, are a portion of the military that (mostly) have chosen to spend their service guarding the people of Thenatere. Even during times of war, most of the Vakida would remain in the cities and towns in the event of a secret attack outside the front lines. These soldiers come from citizens of the kingdom who join the military, and once their training is complete, they can choose to become a Vakida and are assigned a city, town or village to protect. Once on duty and part of the Vakida, their orders come from their captains and only their captains, they’re paid well to not be paid off by the nobles or wealthy, and even royalty do not have direct authority over the military and Vakida.
