Kingdom of Luria
The Kingdom of Luria, often referred to simply as Luria, is one of the four nations on the continent of Eloqua. It was raised from the ruins of the Psionic Scourge at the start of the Age of New Light and has been ruled by a monarch from House Luria since its founding.
Geography
Allairan Woods
The Allairan Woods are a massive, mixed forest of deciduous and coniferous trees, located in the center of the continent and extending into the Chaundethune Mountains. They are solidly within the territories of the Kingdom of Luria, and provide a great deal of the nation's lumber.Chaundethune Mountains
The Chaundethune Mountains begin in the Damisman Tundra at the very tip of northern Eloqua and end where the Ammestino Coast bends inwards at the center of the continent. Travel over the mountains is treacherous, both due to the harsh weather and the flesh-hungry wildlife which call their jagged peaks home. They also serve as the north-eastern border of Luria.Crimsonblaze Thicket
Crimsonblaze Thicket is a massive, mostly deciduous forest named for the vibrant red coloration its leaves take on in the autumn. It grows south of the Chaundethune Mountains, where the bulk of the continent meets the neck of the Varenmont Peninsula.Santurine Lowlands
Stretching from the foot of the Chaundethune Mountains to Varenmont Bay in the south and the foot of the Wulsbahn Mountains in the west, the Santurine Lowlands are dominated by agricultural land used for both farming and ranching. It is where a majority of the populations of both the Republic of Auster and the Kingdom of Luria live.Scarlet Depths
The Scarlet Depths are a lake near the innermost section of Varenmont Bay. Though it is by no means the largest body of freshwater in Thesilae (or even on Eloqua), it is most likely the deepest. Divers and geologists have yet to find the lake's bottom.Varenmont Bay
Located south of the Santurine Valley, Varenmont Bay is a small coastal region tucked in near the center of Eloqua. Luria's capital city, Aramore is built on the inner coast.Varenmont Peninsula
Varenmont Peninsula is arm of the continent which sticks out from southern Luria and reachs into Varenmont Bay (hence its name).History
The Discordant Rebellions
The Discordant Rebellions were a centuries-long battle between the mortal people of Thesilae and the oppressive psionic scourge which enslaved them during the Age of Eclipse. As the rebellion ended and the final remnants of the scourge were either destroyed or exiled, nations were formed all across the planet, including the Kingdom of Luria. This marked the start of the modern era: the Age of New Light.Culture

The Highborn Houses
Since the founding of Luria, the kingdom has been ruled by the head of House Luria, who takes on the title of King, Queen, or Sovereign. The other eight Highborn Houses are subservient to House Luria, and oversee various aspects of the nation's day-to-day operation. Additionally, each of the Highborn Houses has a branch house which serves as ruler of one of Luria's eight duchies.Law Enforcement
The Argentan Waves
The Argentan Waves are the guard unit which keeps the peace in Aramore and the surrounding regions. There are branches of the Waves in every major settlement of Luria.Military
The United Defence Forces of Luria are a multi-division military with one branch dedicated to terrestrial forces, one branch dedicated to naval forces, and a third (much smaller) branch dedicated to magical forces. They are known for having the largest and most well-trained navy of the Eloquan nations.General Information
