Culture and Locations

Havigban is a Vaman kingdom which is ruled by a mystic varhas. Unlike other Vaman kingdoms, its main religion is Mysticism, which dictates that the heavens contain all the answers to life's problems. Havigbans are known for their love of recording and archiving history. Its capital is Mortan.

Havigban is mostly temperate forest in the north, with temperate grassland known as the Tasinsha Plains and mediterranean shores to the south. The Augair Peninsula lies to the west, and off the coast of that is Vourass Island. The Hanmodos River flows in from the south and through Hairta. The kingdom has access to the Gulf of Pagwan to the south, the Augair Ocean to the west, and the North Augair to the north.

History and Relations

Havigban was a part of the confederation of Vaman Kingdoms that came together around 400AL, and this alliance outlawed Akanism and started the secular governmental system Vaman uses today, but by around 650AL the alliance broke apart as the kings began to fight with one another for more power. Around 550BD, the Qeyu Hoqomer expanded across the Ambelia Ocean and settled across northern Remdor, forming the Mangal Hoqomer. This later become the Kyrass Kingdom, and these populations continued to migrate west until a large number settled in western Tasif. Those who stubbornly supported hoqomers were driven out of society, but mystics remained, having a religion that blends in more readily with other religions. Havigban broke away around 800AL and due to the large number of mystics, the varhas of Havigban became the first mystic king. The main ethnic group in Toussin is Vaman with some ancient Xilou blood. They are neutral with Nwashas, and distrusting of Varoicca. They mainly export Vaman Purple pigment.

Military and Art

The most distinct military unit in Havigban is an ukzen specialising in marine combat, including sailing and fighting on the decks of ships. They are still adept at protecting sacred sites and followers on land. Common architectural features include crowned battlements, minarets, and aqueducts, and common artforms include racial segregation, festivals, and the written word.
