Territories

Singache's territory encompasses the entirety of the Skyler Forest and extends over half of the Zephyr Mountain Range, reaching down to the southern coast. The forest, a remnant of their ancient past, serves as a natural barrier, protecting the kingdom from outsiders. Those who enter without a specific amulet or token find themselves mysteriously turned around and returned to the forest's edge within hours. Whether this effect is a natural phenomenon or a creation of Singache's inhabitants remains a mystery to those outside the kingdom

Religion

The bulk of Singache's residents worship Kaze, the God of the Wind. The dominant religion, known as Kaze's Sora, worships him as the almighty ruler of the skies and the one who unlocks the way to the heavens. Followers of Kaze's Sora believe that, while other gods exist, they all eventually serve and follow Kaze. They also believe that Chikru, the Goddess of the Earth, is Kaze's right hand, providing wisdom and might.

Foreign Relations

Singache is a closely guarded country with strong ties to its neighbors. However, as the country's distance from its boundaries grows, its inclination to participate in communication and diplomacy declines. Harmony is the farthest country with which Singache maintains commerce or agreements other than a neutrality pact. Fairies have a low trade volume because of their unique nature, which requires fewer resources than other species. The majority of Singache's foreign accords are focused on border security and protection rather than significant trading with other kingdoms.

Infrastructure

Architecture in Singache is categorized into two distinct styles, both harmonizing with the natural environment. In the forested regions, many homes are built with trees as their foundation. These structures often incorporate the living trees into their design, with extra supports added where necessary and parts of the trees hollowed out to create living spaces. Despite using the trees as homes, the citizens maintain them in excellent health. These homes are typically one-story structures, though some are built adjacent to trees or are even supported by or hanging from tree branches. The majority of these homes are made from wood and other natural materials, blending seamlessly with the forest.

In contrast, the architecture near or on the Zephyr Mountain Range requires sturdier construction. Buildings here are primarily made from stone and granite, reflecting the harsher mountain environment. This area is also where you can find the kingdom's rare two-story buildings, designed to withstand the elements while providing additional living space.

Legislative Body
The king of Singache is primarily responsible for making laws, but he is assisted by a council of twelve famous fairies. These illustrious individuals play an important part in ruling and protecting the kingdom. Each council member has the authority to create and enforce laws, using their knowledge and experience to the kingdom's benefit.   When new laws or policies are suggested, they are generally voted on by the council and, in some cases, given to the public for feedback to ensure that they are in the best interests of the kingdom. However, there are times when judgments are made directly by the council and the king, assuming there is a unanimous or near-unanimous agreement.
Executive Body
Temp Guards act as the kingdom's protectors, much like police or guards in other countries, upholding the law and protecting Singache's residents. To become a Temp Guard, candidates must first take a year of sociology and psychology classes to comprehend the complexity of fairy behavior. Following that, they go through two years of intensive physical and magical training, which prepares them to neutralize threats and accurately appraise circumstances.
