Rithundun


 * Rithundun - The modernized industry capitol of Pyrosium, set in the past. **

Such as the old customs were, knowledge is power and defines those who possess it. He who's prowess is beyond average sits upon the council in Mor'atha, the country capital. The other five major holds are scattered, but close enough for communication in Rithundun. All except Mor'atha and Anvil are for the middle class and lower, though this does not restrict who lives there. Sovngarde, "heaven" in the old tongue, is set upon the city in the sky. With the gain in technologies, this was made possible as steam generates power. A zeppelin flies to and from the capitol twice every month carrying reports and information.

 * Geography **

To the south of Rithundun is a range of impenetrable mountains where its rival country, Phevyn, lies beyond. The plains of Bhapuul, an area void of life, are located to the north-west and shared with Xanibya, along with the Sansvie Peninsula. Interestingly enough, an area close to the center of the Bhapuul Plains is lush and bright, named Athmoot.


 * History **

Once a flourishing nation comprised of polished brass, Rithundun has been cast into a Dystopian Era. An era of misery, oppression, and disease. Ever since world renowned inventor, Dr. James Biraty discovered steam as a possible resource, the province has never been the same. A golden age was upon Rithundun; The Age of Steam. For decades the nation grew with knowledge and technology. With knowledge comes power, and those who obtained it sought to expand. Thus, Rithundun declared war on surrounding nations. It was quite easy with the powerful technology of flight. This violated the laws of The Alliance, however, and was one of the reasons why the (yet-to-be-known) final counsel was brought to attention.


 * Government **

Imagine a type of Plutarchy; a society that is ruled a small group of wealthy and/or people of royal decent. But instead of politicians, economists, and businessmen, scientists and engineers control the governing body where science is in control of all decision making; an aristocratic technocracy. Fifteen representatives are gathered across Rithundun based on how knowledgeable and skillful they are in a field and apply science to solve social problems. Past councils have solely thought of consuming resources on a given area and sustaining themselves upon it. Unlike true technocracy, Rithundun's governing body was also seeking for large sums of monetary profit.


 * Inhabitants **

I was going to say "people" or "citizens", but your region might not have either. Describe who or what lives in your region, and their way of life. Are they farmers? Hunters? Do they rely on trade with another region? What are their homes like? What kind of dangers or monsters might live in the region?
