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. The Pit of Euxafi is an ancient stone arena built in the Grey Era.

Simbea is mostly dry grassland, with some mediterranean climate along its western shores and semiarid desert and arid shrubland to the south where the Simbean Desert sits. All its shores meet the Sea of Lyte, and the Yrth Ranges reach into the northern ends of the kingdom. The Great River flows through it from Vastin, and the Boseur river makes up most of its western border with the Eber Empire.
