Culture and Locations
The Crown of Simbea has a decorative monarch, but the rulers are a royal council made up of democratically-elected representatives from all the cities from across the crown. The Red Temple (Dualkedorian Creed) is the 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 Simbea enjoy philosophy above all else, combining the ancient wisdom of western hoqomers with modern sciences from northern kingdoms. The capital of Simbea is Redpalm.
