Akeylea

Akeylea~

Political/Social
Akeylea is the land of the Glytherians, a race of humanoid creatures with elemental powers. They run one of the biggest kingdoms in Trellarya, home to about 300,000 Glytherians. They are a steel age kingdom, still using swords, bows, maces...etc. The Glytherians are ruled by a council of 6, one member from each viable element, and a king or queen elected by the council members. The king/queen may veto laws, but if there is a unanimous vote from the council members, then he, or she, is overruled. Akeylea has just come out of a bloody civil war, and has found temporary peace among all elements, though there is tension between them.

Land
Akeylea is wooded with dense forests to the south-west, bordered by desert a little more to the east. Most of the north is mountainous, though along both shores lie small swamps. There are small villages scattered through Akeylea, though only five large cities to speak of.

Elements
There are seven different elements that Glytherians can have power over, water, fire, energy, earth, air, shadow, and cosmic. There are the waters, who keep to themselves and are the fighters of Akeylea. They can swim well, hold their breath for up to five hours, and they do have a pair of wings that can be used for flying short distances. Waters wield spears. Next are Fires. They are not affected by fire, and can manipulate small amounts of it. They are usually the brightest element. They wield swords. The energys are not very agile, though they have the greatest strength of all the elements. They wield whips. The earths are fun-loving and have a natural bit of luck that seems to follow them. They are very charismatic. Earths wield long bows and have wings on their ankles used to hover. Airs are strong-willed and witty. They have a good mind for strategy. They have feathered wings and can fly for great distances. Axes are their choice weapon. Shadows are the outcasts of Akeylea. Though they were welcomed into the council in the recent peace, they are the social outcasts, and only make friends with their own. They have the ability of instant teleportation up to three miles away, and they have phsycic abilities. Shadows have been the cause of many a civil war; they wield flails or maces. The last element is cosmic. there is only one known cosmic and she keeps to herself in the peaks to the North of Akeylea. Cosmics are very powerful, and their limits have not yet been tested. No one knows how their power is gained.

Military
Akeylea is very much a military state, though weakened recently by civil war. Now that the many armies of the elements have united, they have a large military force, though they are trying to wean themselves off of military force and trying to turn to more peaceful means.
Akeylea is glad to join this realm, and wishes peace to the it's many neighbors, though let it be known, they know how to defend!
