Heradheim

Heradheim is the largest of countries in Rhyaria. It is the southern-most continent and became a point of refuge for those northerners who fled the corruption of the Sundering; therefore the current population is a mix of cultures and identities, often leading to arguments and misunderstandings between commoners and -- most especially -- the nobles which govern the city-states.

Monarchy
Traditionally governed by a Queen, Seloria von Leradine inherited the throne some years ago upon the passing of her mother. Remarked for being rather headstrong and particularly devout to the Sacellum, her rise in power has been met with some controversy among the court of nobles. In assuming the throne, her brother -- the Prince Kaisel -- is appointed General of the Imperial army, tasked with protecting the relative peace of the nation and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Most notably, Prince Kaisel is resistant to the influence of the Sacellum, and he disapproves of his sister's affiliation with the organization.

Government
Being of a single country, Heradheim possesses no states or provinces; instead there are 'city-states' which are governed by members of nobility, answering to the authority of the Queen. Each city is as diverse in culture as the whole of Rhyaria once was, leading to a nation with varying styles of fashion, food, superstitions, and festivals.
