Kalar

## Overview

The leader of the country of Kalar is a green Dragonborn who suffers from split personalities caused by housing two souls. This is a strange phenomenon caused by an irregularity in the process of reformation of the undying evil dragon god Sathronax, who comes every 500 years or so to attempt to erase the planet. And when he is defeated he disperses into shards each of which becomes an Archon. In this case, one shard became two beings as one.

The leader of Kalar's name is Cassandra-Kor Valrhytian. The green archon(s). Or at least that's their name when referred to together as one being. They swap primary consciousness sometimes once a day. Sometimes once a week. Sometimes only once a year.

Cassandra Valrhytian is a benevolent leader. Who ensures the safety and happiness of all of their subjects. Everything she does is pre-approved by the democracy of her people.

Kor Valrhytian is a harsh, war-crazed leader. Who relies on martial law and a heavy hand to get what needs to be done done.

The system of government changes with the personality. A Democracy under Cassandra, and a borderline Fascist Regime under Kor. Political experts refer to this style of governance somewhat reductively as a Diarchy. However this means of running a country is wholly unique and defys regular descriptors.

Cassandra would indetify as a she/her. Kor as a He/Him. However, they have no reproductive organs. Subjects when referring to the two refer to Cassandra-Kor as they/them.

The two leaders do not hate each other. They actually respect each others' political decisions, even when in disagreement. Many external spectators make the mistake of seing their condition as a weakness. This is a mistake as, in times of strife they work in tandem. And Drahl bless whatever poor soul stands in their way when they work together.

As such anyone in Kalar can have a wide array of professions. Druidic healers, secret service officers, game hunters, headsmen, scholar or assassin. It often depends on which of the Diarch's they have more of a proclivity to.

The primary denizens of Kalar are Hobgoblins, Green Dragonborn, Green Kobolds, Wood Elves and Firbolgs. However many races would journey in and out on both a temporary or permanent basis.

Together the Green Archons are political and warfare masterminds. It's a shame that often they are these things separately.

Kor's guardsmen are often green dragonborn and hobgoblins. Although the most famous bards of the country happen to be hobgoblins too. So your birth does not necesarily dictate anything in Kalar. Some of their servants display aspects of both of their leaders, others display strong aspects of one or the either.

Denizens of Kalar worship Hacravengion & Palavares, Twin gods of Peace, Safety, Politics, for obvious reasons.

Those who may have a proclivity towards Cassandra's way of thinking also worship Drahl (The only mortal to ascend to godhood), and Aurelios, the god of new beginnings. While those with a proclivity towards Kor, Worship Sathronax himself (the direct opposition to Drahl), and Zarthun, The god of Endings, Ambition, Achievements and Goals. (Himself a direct opposite to Aurelious)

The Capital of Kalar is Tavat, it sits directly in the centre of Kalar. The land is roughly split between those who primarily follow Kor and those who Primarily follow Cassandra. Living in the West and East provinces respectively. Tavat was chosen for the capital as it was the only city in Kalar whose name was a pallindrome, this seemed appropriate to the Valrhythians.

The Green Archons could not settle on an appropriate coat of arms until eventually they decided to represent themselves with a tricolour flag. White to represent the gods Cassandra and her followers worship. Black to represent the gods that Kor and his Followers worship. And finally green as the centre color, dividing or uniting the two other colors, depending on scholarly interpretation.
