Culture and Locations
One of three largest kingdoms in Umbener, Vastin is ruled by a king and has the Red Temple (Arngosian 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 Vastin are more accustomed to being a multicultural kingdom of varying beliefs and appearances. Its capital is Duracia, which houses the Silver Hall, and the city of Goldstone is home to the White Temple. It mainly exports wool, grain, wine, and some gold.
