Midi

The country of Midi is a small country that is settled at the end of the peninsula of Minstrel. There isn’t much to know about it because it has been a closed country until now. Explorers have been allowed to breach their borders to this small ancient mysterious country. The native people have never kept people from entering their little country. It is just difficult to enter from Minstrel due to the sheer rocky cliffs and mountains that must be traverse. Arriving by sea is much easier as it boasts a large seaport.

## Government

The government is referred to as the Tree of Three. As the name suggests, there are three on the council. One represents the native population. One for the refugees that have fled here from countries like Joya and Pergrande or other places as political refugees.

Midi does have a small army or soldiers spread through its cities but the jewel is its navy. The ships are exquisitely made by master shipwrights.

## Religion

The religion is based on the old Gods and Goddesses of the Greek Patheon. The native Midish folks worship these ancient deities while the refuges follow freely their own religion. In the deep jungles of Midi, there are abandoned temples to these Gods and Goddesses. They are slowly being taken back from heavy jungle growth by green mages and earth mages. Worship to these forgotten Gods and Goddesses have seen an increase from the refugees due in part from these people not knowing or what to forget where they came from.

## Exports

Exports from Midi are the finest olive oils from extra virgin olive oil to regular olive oil. Grapes and wine are other exports. Though Midish wine was not as well known as its northern neighbor, Minstrel’s wine. Nuts are also exported as well as some special animal furs that are raised specially for textiles. This textile is from a green-colored llama. Essential oils expressed from the flowers that live only Midi are exported. Lumber has become a large export due to the increased activity in the jungle where the cleaning up of the old temples is occurring.

## Population Demographics/Magic Types

The native population is made up of mages with an olive complexion and typically dark hair. Eye color varies. Refugees, of course, with most of them with no idea where they originated from because of slavers or being born in either country of Joya or Pergrande.

The majority of people live in Ildeatia. It is the major port city on the east coast. This city is where shipwrights live and work. Tribios is located more centralized and is where the textile manufacturers have congregated due to the plains. The plains have rich soil and are home to huge wineries and olive tree groves. Up in the mountains near the border with Minstrel, Erotia is nestled. This city was founded by the llama herders and blossomed from an influx of traders and travelers to and from Minstrel.

Magic for the native people is mainly green and water magics. Shamanistic magic is blessed upon those that provide healing to the population. There is an emergence of the rare priests to the newly open ancient temples of the gods and goddesses. These priests and priestesses are not healers but guardians of the temple and the knowledge being given to them gradually.
