Kheoli - The Moon Elf Continent

Kheoli is the country mainly populated by it's native race the Moon Elves. Tudia is the capital city of Kheoli, where the Royal Family reside and where the First Arc takes place.

### Demography

#### Population

While the population is mostly Moon Elves, Kheoli stands a big power country and quite integrated with other races. It prides itself as the most welcome to foreigners. Tudia itself has become quite a mixing pot of races, cultures and even religions. Roughly, the population stands at 56,286,961.

#### Language

While the main language that is spoken is Elvish, Common is the second most spoken language throughout the country. This is largely due to the different races.

### History

#### The Beginning of 'AM'

The country of Kheoli was claimed first by the Moon elves that were first displaced there many centuries ago, before the time of magic. This would change as a blessed Moon Deity would rise and help the lowly villagers. Since the god's association was with the Moon, this subrace of Elves evolved to the Moon Elves. The Moon Elves with the help of the God created Tudia and then expanded to create the country of Kheoli. The God who walked amongst the people soon had to ascend, but their magic still affects the world even to the current day. Before they ascended, they had a family which many generations later are currently the House Of Gilrei.

#### Moon Deity and The Royal Family

Even though the roots of the land are connected to the Moon Deity, however their true name has been lost to time. People refer to them as the Moon Deity, Moon God or The Visionary. The Royal Family of Kheoli are said to be descendants of this Moon Deity, being able to harness the most magic from the Moon through the divine powers. The current ruler of the land is Rurik Gilrei of House Gilrei however since his death on the day of the Krish Fountain Battle, a gap for a fallen Kingdom has been opened up. However the group realises that Cairie's mother was actually the intial ruler before she died due to getting too close to truth of Priscilla Redgums (Katerine Alamaster). This makes Cairie the heir to the throne, however they must reclaim the ruins that is Kheoli.

#### Moon Hand down Ceremony

This is the ceremony for when a baby of the Moon Royal Family, where the baby is presented next to the 'Luna Staff'. If it glows and feels itself attract to the baby, the baby is said to be the next ruler of the land. This child can only take the throne once the liege on the throne or if they're already dead they take over the throne at 20. The Luna staff is carried by the ruler of the Moon Kingdom, eventually passed down to the next Ruler at the coronation.

### Culture

#### Architecture

Within the capital of Tudia and most cities, the style of architecture takes much influence from Renaissance and Romanesque, (*for real life comparisons - German/Danish Architecture with Romanesque and Renaissance is the best comparison)*

### Governance

#### Politics

Kheoli runs under a constitutional monarchy and has been since the first ruler was established, the first ruler being the birth child of the Moon God. Their system is similar to that of the Sun Elf Region, Dark Elf Region and Star Elf region but not completely. The monarch holds the highest position in the land as the head of the executive and legislature, and is given advice through the King's council which is made up of the Kings Hand, Master of Coin, Master of Warfare, Head of the Guard, Grand Master, High Priest and the Master of the City. High Lords also give advice and requests to the King upon weekly chamber meetings.

The court system is separate from the King's branch, and is headed by Masters elected by the people annually. The court system comprises of 13 Masters, each of which are supposed to be unconnected with the case in which they head. Conflict is usually dealt with by the City Guards, through lower punishment such as mutilation, taxation and further punishment such as a week in the City dungeons.
