Nemedian
Nemedia is an ancient kingdom, proud of its cultured sophistication and civilised traditions. Although settled by the Hyborians, three thousand years ago this was the land of Acheron and traces of Acheronian blood flow through many of the veins of Nemedian Hyborians. The hills of Nemedia still hold groups of people who boast of their Acheronian descent. Nemedians tend to be a tall, fair-skinned people with blue or grey eyes and light or blonde hair.
Culture: Although Nemedia does not have castes in the sense that Vendhya does, the citizens do have a sense of class and status. Nemedia is strict in its feudal hierarchies and each citizen knows his place on that complex schedule of servants and masters, duties and privileges. Citizens are constantly, although largely subconsciously, aware of rank and station. Artisans, for example, are beneath the wealthy merchants and traders.
Religion: Despite the rigid control the feudal system has in Nemedia, with its strict laws and intense law enforcement, Nemedia is far more tolerant of alternative religions than Aquilonia. Likely this is because of Nemedia’s scholastic nature and the crown’s endorsement of philosophical thought. Thus, in Nemedia, a wide range of religious beliefs can be found across the length and breadth of the nation.
Names: Nemedian names resemble Aquilonian names, with the same Latin basis: Alcimedes, Altaro, Amalric, Aridcus, Astreas, Bragoras, Caranthes, Demetrio, Diana, Dionus, Enaros, Octavia, Ostorio, Posthumo and Promero.
