Golden Lion

From Felaguria: The Struggle for Power
Jump to navigationJump to search
"WHERE THE RIVERS OF GOLD ARE MURMURING..."

The merchants of slaves - this is how people of Felaguria usually calls the ones, who come from the Kingdom of Golden Lion. The rumor tells, that even their slaves are wearing clothes made out of gold. How the rumor is true, people barely know. Somehow, people are afraid to visit the Lion, the Kingdom holding immense territories of desert. Though, maybe an incredibly huge heat keeps visitors away. Or maybe it is the rumors about cruel dispose of those, who do not believe in their gods.
The Kingdom have been through many wars, but almost all of them were with the Kingdom of the Isles. Moreover, these wars always ended in draw. So, both sides decided, that they can be a very beneficial allies. "The Hundred Years Alliance" was written and it faced ups and downs. Though, it is still safe and will be heightened by marriage.
This is a land where tribesmen roam the desert, living nomadic lives, where cities and villages have sprung from places where water is to be found. It is a beautiful place where Mazarian prayers echo across the capitals of each Houses' lands at sunrise and sunset, and a harsh region where people can venture out into the desert and neither reach their destination nor return to their point of origin.
