Magic Nation Venjung

## Venjung

**Magic Nation Venjung**, formerly known as the **Puppet Nation Jistav**, is the country currently under the control of Radriel Tayloreth, formerly the domain of Clayman prior to his death. Venjung is a mountainous region consisting of scarce vegetation and valleys. Initially a recreation of the Ultra-Sorcery Kingdom of the Elves built by Kagali, it was later divided into two separate territories for both Kagali and Clayman but was later successfully merged under Clayman's reign, after the defeat of its founder. Clayman gradually expanded the territory since Kagali's defeat, however, following his death, Jistav stopped existing as a single nation and was temporarily delegated to Rimuru Tempest before being annexed by Radriel due to Rimuru's refusal to take over that territory, and Radriel's interest in what history could lie within his mother tried to rebuild.

## Background

Seeing as Venjung is the same territory as Jistav, it shares the same history, having been the grounds of the Ultra-Sorcery Kingdom in the distant past before its destruction at the hands of an enraged Milim Nava.

Once Radriel took over the nation, he took to work on building it up, establishing relations with other nations he had positively interacted with in the past, making himself and the nation highly notable figures in the world, and somewhat seizing high influence over the world's economy due to his advancements (which he mainly made as a passing thought, meant to fill time more than anything).

## Locations

### Valley of Death

Still a treacherous and somewhat dangerous area, the path has been cleaned up slightly and moderately paved for the sake of expansion. Though the area is restricted to the general public, with only certain, select individuals being allowed to walk the path out of Radriel's wish to respect the entrance to Kumara's homeland, but also to avoid treading into the Eastern Empire's territory, however after their defeat and their subsequent peace treaty, this became less of a factor.

It is where Ectoplasma typically dwells, as they are charged with keeping monsters off of the path and out of the nation's cities.

### Asylum

Though it has no official name, the center is specialized in giving asylum to the large number of former slaves sold off as Jistav's main source of income. Radriel saw to a majority of patients personally; either through his Body Doubles/Parallel Existences or physically; despite there being a multitude of staff to assist.

Therapy sessions are provided for free, and the center relies on volunteer work. Otherworlders are not uncommon visitors to the clinic, usually because Radriel actively seeks them out in the event that suddenly being torn from their life in a regular, less chaotic world caused them any grief.

Additionally, after the downfall of Odin's Eye at Radriel's hands, the facility was partially converted to a rehabilitation clinic for those who turned to the criminal life when presented no other options, especially those who were, unfortunately, consumers of Odin's Eye's "product". This facility was the main reason that Radriel decided to join the Three Wise Drunks, as a means of stretching his hand to the areas he was not able to reach on his own, such as the criminal underworld.

## Foreign Relations

### Kingdom of Malukshure

Though there is no written alliance between Venjung and Malukshure, it seems that Radriel is in semi-regular contact with the kingdom, especially the Trinity Wisemen of the Magic Tower, mainly due to his interest in their desire to discover intergalactic travel in the Central World. Aside from this, it seems there is no interaction between them.
