Regions Making Up the Irombrozian Cultural Region
The "Irombrozian Cultural Region" are the regions east of the Eno River, and south of Ardmore or Avengmil. Sometimes Ardmore is included, however, it's proximity to Grehk, and it's frequent use as a conduit for large armies and as a major trade center, has caused it's culture to be largely different. The Five regions of the Irombrozian Cultural Region all share certain qualities. Their natural hub of trade is Irombro (though many Bolkenians do trade in Eno, especially with current Alluranian control of the region). Their dominant religion is Qyrvaggism (though Alluranism has a substantial following in Bolkenia). They are predominantly farmers, though the freemen (those not in serfdom) are frequently traders or horse-breeders and horse-traders. This area is internationally known for it's fabulous horses. Due to the size of the horse business, it is not unheard of for serfs to have horses, and for nobles to have a dozen or so. They are numerous and cheap here, while in many foreign lands they are expensive. The people in this area are also fiercely independent, showing a history of unwillingness to bend to any foreign authority. While Irombro itself has a substantial portion of the population, the area could be characterized as primarily agrarian. Even in Irombro, many of the people reside in the fields around the city, not the city itself, and within the city, gardens are a common sight. Irombro itself is a fiercely patriotic city, frequently having parades and celebrations to commemorate days in Irombrozia's history, or various Qyrvaggian holidays.

- Bolkenia - One of the original regions of Irombrozia, an important cultural center for religion, agriculture, and the horse business. (Also home of the Founding Temple of Qyrvaggism) currently belonging to Kingdom of Alluran
- Rii - Another region that borders our capital, has occasionally belonged to Irombrozia; currently belonging to Riombara
- Rueffilo - A rich and strategically placed region which became Irombrozian during the Third Invasion; currently belonging to Irombrozia
- Cagamir - The current breadbasket of Irombrozia, a major center for the horse business.; currently belonging to Irombrozia
Note: This is not a list of Irombrozia's regions... these are regions which are part of the Irombrozian cultural area, an area largely populated by people of similar traditions, beliefs, and ways of life.
Diplomacy
Realm | Relationship | Reasoning |
---|---|---|
Ashborn | Peace | There's no way we could be at war with them... so, since we're at peace, we might as well be at Peace! |
Avalon | Peace | We are at peace with them, but their cooperation with the Undead, and aggression against our allies (such as RoF) is worrisome. |
Caras Galadhon | Alliance | Allied due to shared heritage, and lacking any reason to fight, we hope that relations with Caras Galadhon will prosper and, perhaps, lead to them joining the CCA. |
Enweil | Alliance | They are allies of convenience against Riombara, and have never shown aggression to us. Relations are going well with them. They have proved to be stalwart allies, and we fought alongside them against KoA. |
Fronen | Peace | Strong supporters of Riombara but, all the same, the presence of some Qyrvaggians has aided relations. The recent Undead invasion has caused a peace treaty between Fronen and Irombrozia. |
Heen | Federation | A great ally! One of the charter members of the (Note: Put a link to the CCA here) Ceded Cities Alliance! Our longstanding alliance has matured into a federation. |
Khthon | Alliance | Another member of the Ceded Cities Alliance! |
Kingdom of Alluran | Peace | Allies of Riombara, enemies of Luz de Bia and Enweil. We fought a brutal war against them, tooth and nail, which eventually died down when the Invasion began. Now we have an uneasy peace with them. |
Luz de Bia | Alliance | Formerly enemies, now allies due to wars against KoA and Riombara, it grieves us greatly to see them pushed back so far and to be so weak. |
Lemundia | Peace | A new realm, we have no reason to fight them, and would like to see them join the CCA sometime in the future. |
Melhed | Neutral | Not at war, not really concerned with each other... there is currently an attempt to foster good relations with Melhed. |
Mesh | Peace | Again, we have no wish to fight them, so we're at Peace. |
Old Grehk | Peace | They seem like good chaps. |
Plergoth | Peace | Politics in Plergoth are... very confusing right now. As such, we have peace with them, a sort of distant peace. |
Republic of Fwuvoghor | Federation | They have aided us in the past in our war against LdB, and we greatly respect their love of law, order, and justice, and independence. Recently, they joined the CCA, and we have allied with them. Also, the marriage between Hireshmont and Retravic further solidified the relations between RoF and Irombrozia. |
Riombara | Neutral | Our mother-nation, who we wish wouldn't try to kill us all the time, but, instead, would let us live. Currently we have a fragile neutrality with them due to the undead invasion. |
Sint | Peace | Peace because we have no reason to fight each other, and agree on many issues concerning the Plergothian Civil War. |
Thalmarkin | Peace | Peace, largely because theya re so far away, there's no reason for us to have any animosity with them. |
Valentia | Peace | They've had some bad history with Qyrvaggism, (which is the dominant religion of Irombrozia) but that has been - partially - overlooked for the greater good. |
Vlaanderen | Alliance | We have a great feeling of kinship for this nation, and respect their struggle. Due to their close relations with Kthon, and their joining of the CCA, we have allied with them. |
