Paru'Bor
This country (population 750,000) is located between
the Kalalali Forest and the Byth Mountains and encompasses
the Renador River from its source to the Kalalali
Forest. It is bordered by Ek'Gakel to the northwest, Pekal
to the southwest, and Shynabyth to the northeast. Paru'Bor
was once ruled directly by Kalamar, but now it is an
independent country and stands in sharp contrast to
modern-day Kalamar. Paru'Bor is currently ruled by Prince
Ragil V. a distant cousin of the Emperor and a direct
descendant of the first King of Parti'Bor. Despite their
blood relationship, Prince Ragil and Emperor Kabori are
bitter enemies.
Life in Paru'Bor is very structured. All Paruvian dries
are divided into districts based on social status. A very
distinct upper class consists of lords, wealthy merchants,
clergy and high-ranking military officials. Successful
merchants, craftsmen, shopkeepers and army officers
comprise the middle class. Farmers, laborers, peasants and
rogues round our the lower class.
The Courts of Justice is the Paruvian national church
and all people are instructed in the teachings of the
Truthseekers at an early age. The Hall of Oaths, the Halls
of the Valiant, the Church of Everlasting Hope, the
Founder's Creation, the Order of Thought and the
Inevitable Order of Time are tolerated by the state and have
lesser Followings. All other religions, regardless of alignment,
are strictly forbidden. Anyone found to be a member
of a forbidden religion suffers harsh and swift punishment.
Still, the House of Vice, Temple of Strife, Impostors and the
Congregation of the Dead have underground followings
within Paru'Bor.
Defences
