Benevan Cultures

Kingdom of Vastin

Culture and Locations

One of three largest kingdoms in Umbener, Vastin is ruled by a king and has the Red Temple as its state religion, which culture 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.

• Sunlor Duchy
  • Lyte, capital, population of 145,000

* Lasarson, population of 72,000

• Valarvis, population of 57,000
• Fortria, population of

History and Relations

The kingdom is around 450 years old, and was formed after the Benevis Empire broke apart in 550AL after the assassination of Emperor Halartus Benevarus. Most Vastin people are a mix of surrounding ethnicities from Nor, western Yvabira, and Seleru. Relations with surrounding realms are mostly peaceful, though the two most recent wars -- one with Simbea and one with Yaele -- saw both provinces break away from Vastin to become independent.

Military and Art

The most prominent military feature of Vastin are leoknights who ride liogons through the skies, making them one of the few places in Riiga to utilise flying mounts. Though war is often avoided, Vastin has a long history of skilled and noble knights and heroes. Prominent architectural features include capped domes, colonnades, and very large rotundas for main chambers. Common artforms include paintings, literature, music, and banquets.

Kingdom of Arkein - One of three largest kingdoms in Umbener, Vastin is ruled by a king and has the Red Temple as its state religion, which culture 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 Arkein are less culturally diverse than Vastin and pride themselves on a strong sense of belonging and unity. The capital is Regalias. Vesdor Castle is in the duchy of Mevesdor, in eastern Arkein. Arkein mostly exports grain, marble, hides, and wine. The kingdom is around 450 years old, and was formed after the Benevis Empire broke apart in 550AL after the assassination of Emperor Halartus Benevarus. People from Arkein are a mix of Nor and Seleru blood. Relations with surrounding realms are mostly peaceful, though Arkein has a tense relationship with Velena based on their history. Most unique to Arkein are their marine soldiers, trained for combat on land and by sea. Their grand fleet is the largest in Benevis, and they boast strong naval artillery and a controlling naval presence. Prominent architectural features in Arkein include elaborate bridges and walkways, plazas, and defensive structures focussing on pragmatism over embellishment. Common artforms include performances, plays, festivals, and dramas.

Kingdom of Margon - One of three largest kingdoms in Umbener, Vastin is ruled by a king and has the Red Temple as its state religion, which culture 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 mostly exports grain, oil, wine, and glass, and Vastin Yellow. The kingdom is around 450 years old, and was formed after the Benevis Empire broke apart in 550AL after the assassination of Emperor Halartus Benevarus. People from Margon mostly have their ethnic origins from Seleru. Relations with surrounding realms are mostly peaceful, though most recently Margon took the Lensone Islands from the Reunou Hoqomer. Margon maintains diplomatic relations mostly because it acts as a trade hub of naval activity. Margonians glorify heroic wartime figures and soldiers aspire to reach these heroic positions through their deeds. Soldiers deemed to be elite are regarded very highly in Margon. Similarly, venquis are known to mostly originate in Margon. Common architectural features include belvederes and towers, gardens, and atriums, and common artforms mostly include tournaments and competitive combat sports.
