Introduction
One of the oldest realms in The Colonies, Oritolon has a proud history steeped in legend, heroism, tragedy and betrayal.
After a stormy period of betrayal, sabotage, deceit, conspiracy and schism fresh attempts are being made to stabilise Oritolon's political system.
Geography
Oritolon is situated in the south-west of The Colonies along the northern shore of The Great Bay.
The regions of Oritolon are as diverse as the landscape itself, with treacherous desert and mountains to the north, harsh scrubland to the west and rich arable land and pine forests to the east.
Ancient and majestic, Oritolon City sits at the narrow mouth of The Great Bay, making it an important trading port and the first port of call for many new arrivals to the continent.
Politics
Oritolon has long been a republic, proud of it's fair and free political system. In recent times the formerly stable political system has been upset by a series of upheavals, coups, schisms and reorganisations. Currently it is undergoing restoration to it's traditional form.
Oritolon has until recently enjoyed good relations with the other realms on the continent but their federation with Lukon and Minas Thalion has been broken recently due to the upheavals in Oritolon. Oritolon is still allied with both Assassins and Outer Tilog. Following a period of warfare relations with Giblot remain neutral.
Religion
The state religion of Oritolon is "The Path of Chivalry", often simply referred to as "The Path". This is not a traditional theistic religion but more a philosophy that encourages the virtues of strength, justice and unity in all people. The Path also aims to encourage benign worship and discourage conflict between faiths. The temples and shrines of The Path are shared by worshippers of many faiths who are free to worship as they please so long as their worship does not have an adverse affect on others.
History
The History Of Oritolon is long and often bloody. Though there have been long periods of stability, prosperity and peace there have also been brutal wars and vicious internal struggles. The ancient history of Oritolon is the stuff of legend but recent history is no less compelling. Following victory in The Long War against the brutal theocracies Alowca and Alebad and the successful founding of Minas Thalion Oritolon was brought to the brink of oblivion by a series of internal conflicts brought about by dark forces from both outside and within the realm.
Culture
Oritolon has a vibrant, if somewhat rustic, culture. As is common among peasants anywhere the spoken word takes precedence over the written. The common people have a love of the folk tales and songs handed down to them from their families. Despite having more literate and sophisticated tastes many nobles act as sponsors to songwriters, poets and playwrights who create works that are spread across the land by the travelling bards who provide a vital cultural link between the nobility and commoners. Few in Oritolon will miss the opportunity to enjoy a bard's tales or songs.
