Culture and Locations
One of three largest kingdoms in Umbener, Vastin is ruled by a king and has the Red Temple (Dualkedorian Creed) as its state religion, which believes in a dichotomy of powers -- of good versus evil forces -- and this belief mostly originates from the fact that Red Temple was the heart of early Vastion culture after the Darkness. The people of Margon place a lot of importance on contracts and laws, and are typically very by-the-books people. The capital is Lyte, the third largest city in the world, and the kingdom also is home to both the great Red Temple of Lyte and the archaios of Etlas.
Margon's Lytelands see a mediterranean climate, with temperate forest covering further inland regions and some broad grassland between the Delsir and Great Ranges. The Great Ranges are mostly montane forest with some alpine tundra at the highest points. The Heulris Islands dot a section of coastline west of Lyte, and the Lensone Islands are found off the southwestern point. The largest rivers are the Neumin, which flows through Lyte, and the Saungir. Mount Tauldan is found in the northeastern corner of the kingdom.
