Alinar

Ruled by the Monarch, and possibly the most powerful nation in Orre - though perpetually in an arms race with the Na Empire. They are a threat to every nation for the strength of their military, thus all try to placate Alinar. 
== Culture of Mourning ==
The Laulja dominate the country of Alinar, and thus their beliefs in mourning culture have bled into society. 
The dead are met with grand processions, lavished in gold and gems and jewels, and wept for continuously for several nights. Then, for the first six years, you must visit their resting place every 20 days. 
Following this period of continual mourning, the requirements for visitation drops to an annual visit on their deathday. 
== Alinari and Iya ==
Alinari are the dominant group of Alinar, and live in the central and southern regions of Alinar.
The Iya live in the northern, Iyanrin Sands, and ride Pegasi as their favored mount. They are nomadic and disparage the Alinar for their worship of their ruler. They have been tolerated by the Monarch for some unknown reason. They primarily consist of Nikep, Unistusian Snow Elves, and Sky Elves.
== Horizon Walkers ==
The international headquarters of the Horizon Walkers is in the capital city of Alinar, Avintyra. They were founded in Alinar and are heavily intertwined with Alinari politics. 
== Pantheon ==
The Alinari worship the Monarch - A'ro Sithamnei - as a God, as he was born to Eunoe, the Goddess of Death, and Laevys, the God of Life. He is immortal and perfect. 
There are a few other notable figures in Alinari mythohistory. 
Ilaira, the treacherous immortal sister of A'ro - who bound him to a rock for seven years in order to usurp his throne. Eunoe eventually freed A'ro when he found his inner strength and he righteously killed Ilaira's body. With her dying breath she cursed his male children to die upon their 25th birthday, he bound her soul to the Grave in Skeui Chal.
Inyi, the first wife of A'ro - who was murdered by Ilaira, cruelly and without regard.
Sifenpho, the first son of A'ro - who was murdered by Ilaira. 
The Sons of A'ro, A'ro always had a singular son who died on his 25th birthday.Category:Locations
