Hempton
in Rhonce
Hempton, called the Breadbasket of the Empire, is the central, dominant state of Rhonce. Hempton is pronounced Hem-ten, its adjective is Hemptonian and its demonym is Hemptonian. On the north bank of the Arlin Sea, it exports much of the empire’s food; as well as hemp, poppies, and smokeweed; and minerals such as lead and silver. They are famous for breeding excellent greyhounds and passionate for greyhound coursing. Hemptonians are deeply religious, and their culture is emblematic of the small-village culture and bucolic lifestyle. They are also industrious, down-to-earth, conservative, and given to wrestling and folk dancing (Morris Dancing). They favor straw-brimmed hats, and the nobles prize linen clothing and fine footwear. Their patron saint is Aimery the Mariner.

Hempton's WorldviewLife was better in the old days, but things still are good in the quaint, bucolic land of Hempton. Seasons come and go, but in our hearts we know the right of it. Hempton is the breadbasket of the Aorlis, and our agricultural produce sustains the empire at large. Aorlis depends on us, and our fellow countries would do well to remember this. Hempton’s culture is based on our traditions of old, a respect for law and order, and every citizen knowing his rightful place in the social order. The nobles rule, the priests pray, and the peasants labor. Let there be no question about the natural order of things. Faith is our strength. It was we who granted Kaidlorr to the Universal Church to establish a heavenly city on Aarthus. Our devotion is our central pillar. We devote more of our children to the Church than any other country.
