Description

On to Ryhanion, another one of Vastonia's dominant independent Human Kingdoms. Under the ruling of Alqwin the III "Duke of Hannel", Ryhanion follows a feudal social structure but "like Hadaurm" the people give homage to deities of opposing mythos to that of Hannel.

Here the people believe in the Norse Gods and pray to no other gods of any divination. Like Hannel, knights and the chivalric code are held as the highest honors one can receive. The people believe and trust the words of the king's loyal subjects and will follow their preachings to the best of their capabilities, providing they remain as trusted heroes of the realm.

The capital city of Ryhanion is Hampshere. Here nearly 17,000 people inhabit the streets and work day to day within the cities many large stone establishment's, including Vastonia's most illustrious Librium called "the great Librium of Anrok" named after a local sage who constructed it, some 600 years ago. Within this building almost any recorded history, legends or lore can be found and many Vastonian scholars have traveled great distances to use this Librium's virtually unlimited facilities.

Other cities of Ryhanion including Westwood, Kalcia and the second largest populace of Northridge.

Geography

The furthest, landlocked western region of Vastonia. To the north you could traverse the mist filled forest of Mirkwood to end up in the small village of Westwood . To the south lies the legendary Lost Valley, from which none return. While in the west you will find city of Northridge resting on the Straight of Pall. To the east resides the city of Kalcia, comforted by the Vall Bay. The center of the Kingdom hosts the ancient capital city of Hampshere. This kingdom may indeed be the most beautiful kingdom in all Vastonia, but it does have it's bad regions, the same as any other part of the realm.

Justice System

Laws and punishments however are handled basically the same as Hannel's rulings and will closely resemble all of Hannel's social integrity's.

Military/Forces

Numbering around 4,000 strong, this elite group of soldiers vows to protect Ryhanion's well being and natural existence. Although this force is small in size, their only enemies are the Barbarians to the south. Ryhanion also has one of the largest war fleets in all Vastonia. This famed armada surveys the high seas under the King's will and is commonly referred to as "The Royal Fleet of Ryhanion".
