Essapin

### Essapin's History

Essapin was where the first god worshippers came from, the elves. Though believing in four gods started many fights and so Aestas believers left their country in search of something more. They found Norfvice and Kygan. Many other races came out of the woodwork during this time such as Lapine and Ratkin. After a very bloody war, the elves left behind in Essapin decided that Ostara was the one true god. This split the elven people as the high elves didn't want to follow Ostara but they were overpowered by the wood elves. This forced the high elves to retreat into the underground of Essapin, now known as Inunda Chasm. Over time the high elves adapted to their dark home, and became known as the Drow. Above ground the cities of Essapin began booming because of Essapin's slave trade and the new Caidyn slaves.

### Essapin's Environment

To the west of Essapin is a mountain range called the Lombar Mountains, it is on the border of Norfvice. Essapin has stretches of rolling hills, grassy plains and flower forests with cherry trees. Essapin's common flowers are lilies, daffodils, tulips, and hydrangeas. They have large forests and many species of mushroom. The north of Essapin is one big swamp known as the Marave Marsh

### Essapin's Religion

All of Essapin worships Ostara, god of blood, life, order, tempest, and zeal and if they do not believe in her, they seem to disappear. Since the belief in Ostara was fought for and cost many lives, Essapin's inhabitants hold her very dear, even the most esteemed universities have priests.

### Essapin's Politics

The ones who rule Essapin are a group know as the white lily, it is made up of the 6 most profitable merchants. Every 5 years, the financial statistics of businesses from the past five years are compared to figure out who is the wealthiest merchant and dictate the next White Lilies.The White Lilies are split with the bottom three, known as the Sepals, becoming the lilies who introduce new legislature. Once the majority of the Sepals agree on the legislature, it is then given to the top three, the Petals, who make changes and then do a majority vote. The Petals have a maximum of 10 words they can change if the changes meet this requirement, it isn’t sent back to the Sepals to agree, and it just needs the majority vote of the Petals. If it goes over the 10 words, it has to be sent back for the consent of the Sepals. Any new taxes or tax changes are required to be brought to The Branches of Truth, the merchants under the white lilies in terms of profit. The Branches of Truth also report to the Sepals every 6 months for the problems Essapin is facing, suggesting legislation.

The current white lily is made up of the sepals; Julian Cariot, Ata Walken, and Riley Alban, and the petals; Easton Leopold, Brielle Avum, Beneezer Crumb.
