El'uul, the Luulian Kingdom

Created by u/OceansCarraway 
=== GEOGRAPHY ===
The Luulian Kingdom consists of area of rolling hills, cut by sharp mountains. Many of the coastlines are rocky, lacking sandy beaches or having tall, sheer cliffs. It’s interior, El’uul, is a relatively temperate land, if suffering from sparse soil and the effects of deforestation that are still being reversed and replanted. This makes economic activities such as herding and beekeeping fairly common, and has driven many of the Tlanta’tlan to live within the cave systems and stone-faced cities. Many also live near the coastline, which has been altered through endless harbors, wall, and polders.
=== BIOLOGY/ETHNICITY  ===
The Tlanta’tlan are reminiscent of red pandas, and are recognizable as their tree-dwelling forebears by their short stature and retractable claws in their pawpads. Having an orange fur broken up by white splotches on their long, bottle-brush tales, or centered on their white face, large eyes and strong hands have made for a race the finds itself at home working underground and making complex items. They are omnivorous, preferring fish and roots, although many of them subsist on stuff that is less satisfying. The Tlanta’tlan live in groups, and so have to worry about passing along diseases--but often only to others. Their adaptive immune system has evolved to be extremely good at discriminating between harmful organisms and beneficial microbes, and they rarely suffer from infections and allergies. Those that do suffer from them typically die.
==== Racial Quirk ====
None. They’re pretty cute, though, so the WWF collects donations for them.
=== HISTORY ===
The Tlanta’tlan were a species that had two golden ages, and undid these ages with their own hands. Their first was an early golden age, equivalent to a human classical Antiquity--which they ended by deforesting themselves. The ecology collapsed, their tyrannies fell apart, and they fled inland. Barely eking out a living in the hills, they eventually entered a true iron age and learned to make use of the many resources around them, including coal. Small pocket kingdoms re-emerged and fought, allowing some areas to be consolidated. This continued until the advent of a sea-based agricultural revolution, supporting the rise of powerful dutchies under individual Signs. These dutchies could fight, but not kill each other, and a powerful trade network helped to found a second golden age. This age ended with the introduction of gunpowder, which allowed pirates to successfully attack fortified positions. As the fire rose, duchies became powerful and cities crumbled, their lifeblood of trade being cut off. However, the Tlanta’tlan were finally unified under a set of early kings known as the ‘Great Greats’. From there, they slowly rebuilt their society, founding the modern Kingdom. Recently, with the reign of King Lan’gla’tlan, their society was turned upside down.
=== SOCIETY ===
A monarchy that came into being by force of (fire)arms, the militaristic and feudal echoes of the conquest still haunt their past and influence their society. The names of feudal lords still remain on some government positions, but an increasingly powerful monarchy, especially after reign of King Lan’glan’tlan, has accumulated power in the Throne, and the various administrative court positions. This charismatic king also lead a strong anti-clerical movement of forced secularisation and rationalisation, spreading libraries and enlightening the people. Needless to say, this was not taken well, and a bloody civil war ensued that saw the King victorious. His extremely recent death has set off shockwaves within the Kingdom, and as the new heir comes to be crowned, a divide exists between those who beleive Lan’gla’tlan was too harsh--and those who want more of his steel enlightenment.
=== CULTURE ===
The Tlanta’tlan are a very inward-looking society, one focused on obtaining material progress in the here and now. Inherently collectivist by nature of their housing and large family arrangements, they prefer the normal and familiar to the exotic and strange. Many of their artists believe that special things should be beautiful, and take care in the design and making of their worldly possessions. The old lines of the feudal contract have slowly worn away, replacing a den with the modern city, but still maintaining the old position of Hectmayor. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
=== OCCURRENCE OF MAGIC ===
While mages grew up in the Luulian Kingdom at much the same rate, they were often isolated by geography and limited transportation options. Magical customs often developed in isolation, with the exception of the ruinic magic that was transmitted mostly by letters on mail ships during the golden age. After King Lan’gla’tlan took power, he began a period of forcible secularisation and scientific investigation, determined to rip out all superstition and all elements of the unknown. Today, nearly all mages are kept in the Mage’s Asylum, and a significant prejudice has been stirred up against any magically talented individuals. This prejudice will vary amongst the Tlanta’tlan, often by individual.
=== MAJOR EXPORTS/IMPORTS ===
The Tlanta’tlan export some high-grade crucible steel, fine jewelry, and some of the products of their sea farms. They export masterwork porcelain. Some political elements try to limit imports, but they readily will purchase wood, dyes, and some cloths.
