Kingdom of Torragon (Torra-gon)

An Emerging Empire: Torragòn Torraggònese are somewhat similar to Eskandish in the sense that they are integrated into the systems of their southern neighbours but also something of a people apart. While they are part of the political sphere of Constantia, they're Severan, and the only Quentic nation in West Severa. Fundamentally, the Torragònense are conquerors. They're horsemen of the savannah, steppe, and desert: a hard people not much for decadence, as evidenced by their stewardship of the Iron Throne among the five. From their beginnings as a seminomadic tribe cast out of Constantia after the fall of the Esquelune Dynasty of Perrence, they took the land that they now call home from the people who lived there. Their speech, diet, and traditions changed to suit it, their architecture is a fusion of Constantian and Severan. They guard their borders ferociously and raise great herds of cattle near the Arapora river and Lake Albadòn, engaging in months-long cattle drives through the arid canyons, grassy steppes, and rusty red buttes of the inner plateau to the shining port metropolis of Varrahasta. As time has passed, Torragòn has gone from a place of rough, dusty horse people, skilled in combat and animal husbandry but uncouth in all other ways, to a flourishing empire, with bustling ports, fine shops and marketplaces with jewelers, banks, and spice traders. Educated young nobles and merchants look to further their studies of the Gift, politics, business, and the natural sciences across the Ensollian Sea and marry into the great houses of Constantia. Workshops, factories, and universities, with their terracotta roofs and stucco walls hunker under the sullen stone keeps and proud steeples and minarets that came before them. With these changes, the Nation of Eshiran now finds itself in a struggle for its identity. Should it embrace the ways of the south, where its ruling classes and much of its people came from long ago, and look outward, or should it continue to chart its own course? Increasingly, the sea and its promise beckons to the warriors, priests, and traders of Torragòn. There are lands and peoples there ripe for conquest, and conquest runs thick in Torragònese blood.
