Geography
Culture
Antronis has a fairly unique culture with Helmia, due to many of the southern citizens not braving the harsh winters that sweep across the region. This has lead to 3-6 months a year the region being mainly cut off from the rest of the realm. Within these months the people of the north either migrate to Florentina which has been bless by a humid climate off the coast or settle down by their heaths and brave the cold. Many of these people will only leave their homes in winter for 4 reasons, faith, food, duty or ailment. Florentina in Florentine tongue means "To Flourish" and the town more than lives up to its reputation, it is highly common for its people to keep bees or other forms of livestock which are not commonly kept in the rest of its region and this has created a diverse yet prosperous trading relationship between the different Lords and Mayors. 
In the North you have the abandoned Dwarven realm. During their time on the continent they traded many rich minerals and metal products with the people of the Plains and Forests, in return they got the grain required to brew their alcohol and the money required to keep them prosperous. These Dwarves though do not live on the continent anymore and it is rumoured they dug too deep to return and they might still be digging even to this day somewhere deep under the world. 
South of the Hyriconis Peaks are the pastures and rolling foothills, home to hunters and farmers. The settlement of Lornwick was originally founded as a large manor and farm for one rich citizen but over time it has developed to contain a tavern, church and even a connection to the underground tunnels designed by the dwarves for trade. This settlement has long been a breadbasket during the summer months and mostly abandoned in the winter. There was traditionally two festivals held a year, once just before the start of the crop season, to bring good fortune and bless the crop about to be planted in the ground. The second was after harvest was finished, people sacrifice part of their harvest and celebrate the bountiful gifts of the ground and gods. This was then followed by a week of trading between the dwarves and townsfolk. Within the remaining Foothills there are frequent hunts for both Wolves and Deer which reside in the area alongside other wildlife.
Within the South of Antronis is where the most Variety of culture. Florentina is a city of prosperity and as such there are many festivals throughout the year to while Lunarya follows the cultural teachings of Raajan while till joining in with regional festivals. Once per year there is a great parade that travels around the region. It starts in Florentina and travels east through Lunarya before heading north. It ends at the feet of the Legendary Blacksmith Reginald statue where all the citizens of the region drink and eat for a weekend to celebrate the passing of the year and prosperity held by the people. This is sponsored by the High Lord of the Region, Lorenzo Florentus Corsini and the Grand Brewery of Helmia which is under the city of Florentina.
