Perrinith
Perrinith lies on the Northwest shore of New Meritta, though it is cut off from the water by a steep mountain range. The land is rocky and dry and the cold temperatures do little to cultivate growth. Only the most stubborn plants and animals make their homes there, and the greater races aren’t much different. The harsh weather, and difficult growing conditions has bred the people of Perrinith to be hearty. They appreciate the reward that comes from hard work and above all they value respect.
Ruler[edit]
King Evian Redridge IV is entering her 23rd year as king of Perrinith. She was once known as the child heiress, just six years old when she was appointed. Perrinith had faced a string of bad luck, with six kings in five years. The turnover was causing instability, so on his deathbed, King Quentin Redridge named his six-year old daughter, Evian, king. He also appointed a number of advisors to guide and teach her about leadership. Now, at 29, she has brought stability and prosperity to the land. She has grown into an outstanding leader, and has earned the unwavering loyalty of her people. While not the longest reigning leader in the council she is certainly the most well respected.
Capitol[edit]
High Grove has long been the site of the King’s castle. A tall, verdant hill acts as a strategic site capable of supporting the small city and castle. Most other people live spread out, planting where they can and gathering what resources the earth is willing to give them. Perrinith has the richest deposits of earth metals and minerals for weapons, armor, spell components and many Perrinithians make their living mining these things and selling them to other kingdoms.
People of Perrinith[edit]
The people of Perrinith are a strong, tough people. They battle fierce conditions as a way of life, and tend to be strong and weathered because of it. While cynicism is part of life for many Perrinithians, they also tend to have a strong sense of warmth and mirth when it comes to their family lives. Respect plays a huge role in the society of Perrinith. Outsiders to Perrinith are treated with a critical eye. Most visitors do not receive a warm welcome until they prove they mean no harm to the people, at which point they are treated like family. One of the biggest crops in Bradmont, The Thornsuckle, includes a prickly hard pod with delicious meat inside it. It is often colloquially called the Perrinithian for it’s tongue-in-cheek metaphor.
