Lennox

Lennox, also known as the Lennox Federation, was a state in the Oriens region of Terranum. Originating as the spiritual center for the Church of Amon, they slowly lost power and influence over the centuries. By the 10th century AM, the nation was fighting to stay relevant in the global sphere.

===Early History===
WIP
==Government==
Lennox was a federation ruled by an elected leader (known as the "Kaiser"); the Kaiser was the ultimate source of political power in the nation and could both establish laws and strike down old ones. Directly under them was their cabinet composed of elected officials from the various states, each one elected in a rotating cycle. Even farther below them were the various noble families that governed specific territories.
The federal army used to be well-known for their strength and intimidating aura. The threat of their power was strong enough to keep the people of Nisi under their control for centuries. However, as time passed, their military was left behind in the industrial revolutions of other nations, leading to Nisi slipping out from their direct control.
==Culture==
Lennox had a history of racial discrimination, using the POW's they collected from other nations as work and personal slaves and limiting the rights of foreigners within the country. This only worsened following the discovery of the southern island nation of Nisi, as their native population was enslaved and forced to become "civilized".
Beyond this, the nation emphasized the power and influence of those in the noble classes. Those who were born in the nobility were considered to be superior to the poorer masses, and were thus given more opportunities and respect in society. This norm slowly faded out as the nation lost influence in the global sphere, though it never truly went away.
Lennox was considered to be the spiritual birthplace of Claritism and was considered to be the nation's official religion. However, there were many smaller sects that were scattered across the region, though these were often persecuted and associated with the worship of demons and the "dark god".
==Geography and Climate==
Lennox was a cold and mountainous region due to sitting far to the north, having a cooler climate with mild summers and harshly-cold winters. It also had many forests, plains, and even a few small lakes. However, the nation lacked fertile soil, with only a few small areas having farmable land; because of this, they had to import higher-quality soil and crops from the nation of Delis to their south.
==List of Towns and Cities==
===Romus===
Romus was the capital city of Lennox. It was the seat of power for the country's government as well as a major trade hub for the Oriens region. Two large statues, one male and one female, were constructed and placed at the city's front gates sometime in the BM era.
===Irtusk===
Irtusk was a town in the western region of Lennox. Surviving off of trade from the west as well as the few crops they could farm, the town remained mostly unacknowledged for centuries. In the early 7th century AM, it became the site of the Irtusk Serial Murders.
===Peskov===
Peskov was a port town on the western coast of Lennox. It provided fish and fish-related products to the other cities to the east; it also filtered the goods that came in from foreign trading ships, making sure they were of a good quality.
===Leshii===
Leshii was a city in the northeast of Lennox and the birthplace of the Church of Amon. Serving as the religious seat of power for the nation, it was home to the oldest known Amonist church in the world. Many sects of the church also saw it as a spiritually prominent place, due to its position next to the Pixie Forest.
