Many areas in Yvatshun are governed by a king under a monarchical system called a kinas.
===Yvatshun Cultures===


The capital of Yvabira is Oropstov and has a population of ~152,000.
[[Yvabira]] Kingdom


The capital of Alacas is Alacas, with a population of ~120,000.
Grand Princedom of [[Alacas]]


The largest city of Huirnon is Ellecil and has a population of ~60,000.
[[Nhorcea]] Order


===Religions===
City-State of [[Huirnon]]
The most widespread religion is referred to as [[Religions#Yvabiran|Yvabiran]], which has the same name because it permeates Yvabiran culture.
Temples are called hof, and house druid priests, who usually have some influence on kinas leaders.


The far-western end of Yvatshun is home to another religion called [[Religions#Alatia|Alatia]].
Minor Peoples: [[Batylir]], [[Ayrsi]], [[Arzhia]], [[Brenyr]], [[Ituni]]
Alatian priests are called followers, and erect great obelisks in their towns and cities to their pantheon of gods, often with shrines nearby.
Alatianism has little influence on the monarchs of eastern Yvatshun.


===Magic===
Tribal Groups: [[Vrasik]], [[Rre Qran]], [[Bymir]], [[Oirtarre]]
The vast majority of mages in Yvatshun have a connection with some sort of spirit and are magimancers. Magificers born with magic are rare, but not as rare as magiturgists, since magic is generally not seen as something to be studied in Yvabira -- Alacas being the general exception. There are no magichaists of note in Yvabira.
Magic mainly involves valeturgy.
 
Magic is used for religious, restorative, and production purposes.
