Kingdom of Telin

Historic of Name
Used to be spelt 'Talon'

Capital City
Oros

Resources
Shellfish, Paper from Bark, Silver

Industry
Paper Making, Shellfish diving and secondary fish products, mining and refining of gem stones and previous metals.

Trade
The only kingdom to fish shellfish, therefore exports a lot of that and bark paper. Must imports fine secondary products, and metals from the Wesh countries. Given the importance of sheel products they can reasonably command their own price.

Economy
Being the only economy to have shellfish, they do well when the Arm is doing well, and are relatively buffered with mining.

Currency
There is no currency in Telin. All deals are done by trade or bargain. This makes things a bit interesting as they do trade with the Arm.

International Relations
Telin is a very very strange kingdom, they are thought of as very weird, don't really get involved in war, but are traded with a lot of suspicion generally. Their lack of currency is not very well understood.

Current Government
Proud Tolior, Queen of her people, along with her brother, the much weaker Chor.

Position of Slavery
Vocally anti-slavery, which already makes them not a favourite in the kingdoms

Education
Education is given solely by parents to the degree they've had their own education.

Local Vigilantes
Local vigilantes are almost like a secret society, no one knows exactly what they do outside of the kingdom and they are not very liked even by other vigilante bands. Perhaps they prevent the Ascensionists?

Language
Jorsett

Holidays
They celebrate the Ascension, regardless of how devout they are. They also have holidays for mystery, usually solemn and contemplative.

Religion
Tend to believe in Ascension theory with one of several gods: Alessy (sacrifice), Ji (Mystery), or Shakav (Souls)

Marriage and Sexuality
Couples marry for children, tend to be unfaithful, especially if part of the religious cult

Naming System
Child chooses a name on their name day, until then are just referred to as the son or daughter of 'mother'. Very peculiar naming system unlike any other.

Food
Snake, usually cooked or steamed in a full circle. Snake skin is saved usually.

Fashion
Minimalist clothing, usually one piece or two, often accented in metals or gems and matched by jewellery, typically in cool or grey tones.

Predominant Art Forms
Into their performing arts, such as theatre and styles of flash theatre and dance accompanied by song. It is a little odd to watch and has a unique, mysterious style.

Medicine
There is a strong disbelief in healing or medicine of any kind. Unlike it involves smoking snake skin or involving snakes.

Magic Prevalence
Uses magic but only which helps their Ascension theory: sometimes healing and poison, sometimes elemental. It's very peculiar and has a lot of internal rules.

General Appearance
Distinctly almost ebony skinned, tall and rather lithe, a bit slower moving, with pale hair.
