County of Telvan
A mid sized province on the West Coast of Erikadia. Its Capital is the city of Telvan.
Structure
The Count of Telvan is the sole ruler of the County. The Count allows municipalities to rule themselves, though extracts heavy taxes from them. The title of count is retained by the Voeden family.
Public Agenda
In the 700th year of the Third Era, two laws dominated the County, promoted by the Count at that time Peglan Voeden. The first law, that is the Law of Trade, stating that all mercantile operations are free to act without interference from governments, except in the form of certain taxes instituted by the count.
The second is the Law of Humanity, which states "By right of Sevina, our holy mother, Humanity, being the greatest of all the Cogniza, shall be the only race that shall retain any kind of rights or standing in Telvan society. All other races are forbidden from the City, and have no rights that man is bound to respect."
Military
The Count does have a private guard, though most public defense is done by contracting mercenary groups like the Crimson Sabers.
Religion
While the state religion of Erikadia is the Temple of Sevina, in Telvan the Pelagic Ways are present on the coasts, and prevalent through out the County.
