Ostair

"The land of culture, cheese, wine and art. Don't just think that this country's only purpose is to look nice, the nobility actually have brains and that is more dangerous than any roaming monster".

Capital: Talmont

Racial Makeup: Ostair is made up of mainly Humankind. Due to some of the parallels with Elven Culture a handful of Elves and Half Elves can be found there too. Tieflings and Dragonborn emigrating to escape VenJarra can also be found.

Legality of Spellcasting: Highly regulated, licensed spellcasters receive a ring that tracks the spells that are cast. Necromancy is illegal and anyone caught practicing it are normally executed on sight. The Circle have a strong presence here. Should someone be caught casting without a ring (licensed or not) they will be detained unless a replacement ring can be found. Clerics and Paladins are exempt from these laws and Druids are treated with caution.

Demonym: Ostairin

Government: Previously a Matriarchal Feudal Monarchy, it is now more or less a Plutocracy in the Empress' absence.

Leader: Since the death of the Empress at the hands of an assassin many noble families have been vying for a place on the throne.

Patron Deities: The Pantheon of Civilisation is primarily worshiped here, despite this however interest in The Pantheon of Heroism has risen in recent years much to the chagrin of Ostair's religious elite.
