Ghraope

Ghraope
Capital’s name: Turar
Leader: Kah Gholc 
Religion: Yac Luvi
There are 10 gods/goddesses, each with different tasks. At the top are the god of death (Bhimonu) and the goddess of life (Hada). From their relationship came 6 children. The gods of hunting (Katavul), Tempest (Nerup) and War (Khulnuc) and the goddesses of Peace (Poje), Harvest (Teyva) and Knowledge (Elfiel). The child of the god of War and goddess of Peace was raised by the goddess of Knowledge and became the goddess of Trickery (Ganacsi). The child of the goddess of Knowledge and the god of Tempest became the god of Smiths (Farsam).
Moral values and principles
The Law of Hospitality: Everyone who claims hospitality is to be given food and drink and a place to stay. Injuries must be treated as best as possible and no harm must be caused to him. The guest must submit to the words of the host and not cause any harm to him or his family. The right of hospitality is only granted for a reasonable period of time.
Slavery: People who break the law can fall from grace. These Disgraced are used by the Kah to perform menial tasks until they have served their punishment.
Marriage: Men and women who are not married must wear their hair down. Marriage between the same sex is considered bad because no child can result from it, thereby breaking the flow of life and death. Women and men are allowed to have more than one love partner.
Family: The family is the highest good and must be defended. The head of the family is the eldest. He or she is assigned the task of securing the continued existence of the family.
War: Violence may only be used for one's own survival or to protect the family.
Traditions
Food: Jerky, crispbread and flatbread
Since arable farming is not possible in large parts of the country, grazing animals are processed into dairy products and meat, which means that nutrition is heavily influenced by animal products.
Rituals: the beginning of the cycle of life; once a year a celebration is held in honor of all those who died and those newly born in the year. There is extensive celebration and dancing, thanks are given to the deceased and congratulations to the newborn.
Death ritual: When someone dies, there is a death ceremony. During this, the participants paint a prayer picture. At the end of the prayer, the painted images are placed on or near the corpse and cremated with it. The ashes are then scattered everywhere by the wind.
Art
Hair weaving, combs, pins, basket weaving,
Painting and sculpture as well as puppets serve to represent the gods as objects for meditation for clergymen or objects for prayer for laypeople. Images are created as a form of prayer and are then burned.
Music: Music is played on a wide variety of occasions. But music is also played without a reason. Various wind, string and percussion instruments are used to make music. Wherever music is played, there is dancing. In cities there are people who make music together and people who dance in large squares.
Buildings etc. is in the construction process.
Government
The Ghraope began as a group of neighbouring tribes. Over the time, some of these tribes grew in size and stature, and either conquered or absorbed other tribes. Thus they were united under Gholc. He was bestowed the title of Kah.
The great Kah. He was accepted by the elders of the various tribes as a common leader to protect the tribes from the warlike ones who shook the other nations. In a ritual, he was relieved of duties to his own family and is now the head of all. In this position he should act for the good of all.
The people of the Ghraope are creatures of tradition, living their lives in lock-step with religious beliefs, family ties, loyalty to their Kah, and laws so ancient that few historians even remember why they were made.
The Nation follows a caste system, with the Kah at the top, followed by the elders, the guards, the merchants and artisans, and finally the disgraced. Their society is structured around loyalty to the kah and family. Each province must abide by the rules of the heads of families and the kah. Disgraced follow the Kah's direct orders.
Those caught betraying the Elders or the Kah, either by escaping or by breaking the law, will be severely punished, e.g. disgraced.
Prejudice
Foreigners: Distrustful, hostile to large groups especially if they are carrying weapons
Neighboring Nations: Distrustful
Older and younger People: The old teach the young and help with their experiences. They are responsible for the family.
War: War only brings death and endangers the family and is therefore undesirable.
