Galeon Order - (01)

## Economy

For the Galicians, the pursuit and acquisition of wealth is a noble endeavor that has lead to a cutthroat economy of capitalism and expansion. To the Galician, only women can have money and economic freedom unless a man has lost his wife and is too old to remarry, then the wealth is taken by the state with a stipend given to him to survive on. Except for food and education, products are rented to individuals for a time and are seen as belonging to the one who made it. The use of said products, if misused, falls onto the makers to be punished. Therefore contacts are a battle of words to prevent punished being handed to the maker of item or trade.

The goddess Eilís is the one who decides if a contract is fair. Contracts without her blessings or forged are cursed with a misfortune time bomb.

## Religion

The Gali people believe in the Holy sisters, three goddess who embody the ideals of their people and the proper way to live their lives. Each sister is not greater than the other but the high priestess of each respective goddess who claim otherwise. At the coming of age ceremony for a girl to become a woman she and others will choose a goddess to be their patron. Males are rarely blessed by the priestess of the goddesses, only when the goddess demand it does a male receive her gifts. Instead a male will be given a pardon goddess when he is wed.

Tália the flame hair goddess of war and order. She is the embodiment of a Galician warrior and leader. Strong, noble and proud she leads her sister's into battle against all who would hurt her chosen.

Eilís the gold and silver haired goddess of honor and wealth. Her rules of how to properly manipulate and manage wealth are meticulously memorized as the rules of acquiring. She rewards thise who followed the rules to make wealth with more wealth, rhise whi do not are stripped of values and are cursed to be slaves forever, a fate worse than death to the women of the culture as free men are higher in status than a slave.

Bás. Bás is the lady of life and death. Of all the goddesses she treats all fairly as she is the one who knows the begin and end of her people. Often shown wearing a jade mask with a black and gold coat she is often the most busy of the goddesses. Unlike her sister goddesses, Bés has males servicing her temples to show that in both life and in death all are equal in her eyes.

In the Year 495 trade and information from the Order's ally Xanatos has lead to an interest in the Xanatosian goddess Heramis. While the three sisters faith is strong, a cult following of adding Heramis as the mother of the sisters has appeared as the holy mother. This cult following would grow exponentially after the events of the Year 550 during the war with Lympsburia. The partitioning of the land between the new allies resulted in a geological split in religion.

The mainland and North vassel differences in religion have widened in the year 600. In the Vassal state there are Xanatosians follow the old religion of their culture, the limited distance between the Order and the empire has cemented the formation of what is known as the Unity faith. In this the Xanos goddess known as Heramis has the three daughters but also a son based off Thornova called Cu nor the poem writer. Cu nor is the younger brother who writes about the deeds of his sisters and mother to the people. If a person leads an honorable life it is Cu nor who adds her or his name to the list of honor. But if a person leads a dishonorable life they are stripped of name and cast into the darkness.

## Culture

The Galician culture is a matriarchy society that upholds the values of women being superior to men. In the eyes of the women of this culture, men cook, clean, take care of children and do simple tasks while the women go to war and lead the nation. To them, the mere idea of a male leading them is amusing as males are not allowed to leave the home once of marrying age.

The way Galicians choose leaders is based on ritual combat to the death. Queens must defend her thrones from challenges if said challenger has done the ritual tasks needed to preformed the challenge of ruling. A queen may refuse only if a challenger has not preformed the rituals or has been on the throne for less than a year. Another way she may not fight is if she is with a child but may fight with a substitute.

Galicians primary color of choice is blue made by a rare powder in the region
