Rajamerak Kingdom

The Rajamerak Kingdom (sometimes called the Peacock Monarchs) is the largest and one of the most posperous kingdoms in Terra Avium. People who live in Rajamerak is called a Rajameran. It's full of diverse birds from all across the world, and is a hotspot for tropical birds. It's a Constitutional Monarchy that's mainly ruled by the government and the Royal House of Peacocks.

## THE PEACOCKS

As mentioned, the country is partially ruled by the peacocks, who are considered royals. They are master of negotiations, debates, and are as charismatic and colorful as they look. Because of this, they almost always have the upper hand in debates, and good at talking in front of crowds. They make good cultural representations for their country, and let their government do the rest of the political scheme.

The Peacocks consider all violent acts as "barbaric" (including martial arts) which means fights are very frowned upon, and could destroy your reputation very quickly. Peacocks prefer elegence, perfection, and peace rather than disorder and chaos. However, peacocks are still taught fighting, in the form of duelling. But their duelling stances are more graceful, looking more like a dance with rhytmic steps. They must only duel for absolute serious reasons and not waste energy on pettiness. Furthermore, their duelling arts are limited to duels and self-defense only.

They are also master of illusions, using their feathers and skills to confuse their enemy while also finding a way to escape or trap them. The patterns on their feathers help in hypnotizing others. This is taught to every young peacocks that reaches the appropriate age.

When a peacock reaches 3 years old, they start to grow more colorful and vibrant feathers. This represented their readiness for the outside world, for parties, duels, and the start into a peacock's life. For this reason, every peacock who reaches the age will have a special celebration called "The Age of Colour". After their first mating season, peacocks shed their feathers every year and the first batch is gifted to their mate.

## THE TROPICAL PARADES

The Rajamerak Kingdom is inhabited by all kinds of species of tropical birds, and is ruled by the Royal Peacock House and the Constitutional Goverment. It is known for their tropical parades. They’re huge colorful celebrations and festivals. Tropical birds (parrots, toucans, flamingos, cockatoos, etc.), birds of paradise, etc. are known to like hosting festivals and carnivals, and their cities are open to other birds from across the world to visit. They are usually hotspots for when mating season comes.

They have the biggest market in the world: A forest of towering trees with thick wood and also very thick and large branches (enough that a human can stand and lay on it comfortably) .Their abundant leaves would shade the whole area. The markets have stores set up on these branches where merchants all across the land sell both local and exotic curios. Fireflies and oil lamps would be all around, lighting up colorful shops, shows, and things that merchants sell. It's a pretty noisy market. You can also spot some branches where they showcase shows like singing or magic tricks or instrument playing, etc. The market is split into sections with each section selling a specific product (like fish, silk, spices, insects, etc.) So aarakocra who come there are free to fly around and land on branches to buy from shops they like.

They have restaurants that are inside giant trees. So these restaurants are in trees where the inside is hollow. Then they build platforms on the side of the walls inside the trees. Each platform is a table, and the waiters would fly to you to serve you food. There are two windows for a table, peeking out into the outside fest. There'd also be fireflies for light and music for entertainment.

These cities of colorful parades almost always surround a river or lake. There, they’d host water shows. Giant lily pads float around these lakes, and usually a band of songbirds would gather there and play songs. The shows include: musicals, water theater where birds would enact scenes and fight in the sky, opera choir from songbirds, a group of colorful birds doing stunts and coordinated dance on the sky and water.

There would also be lily pads for guests where they can do their mating dance. There are sections of rivers dedicated to different types of dance music. Fun facts: Flamingos are known for their tango, swans for waltz and slow ballroom dance, penguins and budgies for tap dance, and other species of birds can do a freestyle dance or a traditional dance depending on their family traditions. There are restaurants on giant lily pads, where guests can sit there and enjoy the water shows.
