Democratic Republic of Callega

Democratic Republic of Callega or North Callega is a nation encompassing the northern hemisphere of Planet Callega after breaking away from Fairy Empire of Callega. Callega is known for its dragons near the fiery equator and loads of herbs found north with deserts as well.

## History

### Early History

In early times due to the varying climate in different areas there multiple races on Callega. The dwarves, humans, and the Jawarvas of the north, fairies in the south, monsters in the south and a little bit up north, and the boraifas, hilitake, korias in the equator which can survive the volcanic environment there. Callega in the north and south area had lakes filled with a liquid substance widely on the planet called Polia. In the beginning the the north and south set up nations around lakes and oasis and nomadic tribes in the equator.

### The Four Maidens of Helius

When kingdoms were just given birth, four maidens around the north who were great masters left their nations and went on an adventure around Callega to develop and advance their mastery over their powers and explore around Callega. The four maidens went around collecting herbs and different planets around Callega even going as far to the equator. With their adventures they became very keen in healing magic which's what Callega is known for today. Eventually these four people met and became the four maidens as they became good friends and shared the knowledge of adventure. They've became highly skilled power users especially when it came to healing. Now one time, they've worked on a healing artifact so powerful it'll heal pretty much anything both physically and on the life force, and they did and called it the Helius Crystal which produces an elixir with one touch can heal an extremely sick and crippled person, into a very powerful one, both physically and on their life force. Thanks to this one crystal, many have decided to settle with the Four Maidens and became respected figures to the equivalent of religious ones since well everyone knows the dragon and phoenix power. In time people made this settlement into a maidendom called Helius, later Callega, how the planet got its name. With the four maidens as the rulers of the maidendom they've eventually united all the kingdoms in the north peacefully. The south remained ununified with multiple kingdoms including fairy ones. Back to the north, because of the maids many people focused their powers on healing and alchemy was focused on healing as well. There was no need for an army back then as the four maidens believed in peace.

### The End of Helius

Then all of that ended with a koria named Miloko who wanted the control of the Helius crystal for himself. Then he fought the four maidens in the attempt to get it. The four maidens succeeded in taking down Miloko but the four maidens sacrificed themselves during the process and the Helius Crystal shattered into 7 pieces and were blasted into many different parts of the planet never to be seen again. Then Helius the northern maidendom split up into different nations. Even then though, many nations try to form the same power of the Helius Crystal but failed, others tried finding the shards for them but failed as well. Nonetheless the art of healing became a big practice in Planet Callega.

### The Equator

Dragons populate the fiery equator along with boraifas, hilitakes, and korias. In the beginning most of them were nomadic tribes and dragons mainly hunted them. In time though they've now formed their own kingdoms as well. Many kingdoms also introduced dragons to the many kingdoms in the north and south after Helius has collapsed. Generally the north was more friendly, while the south not as much. Regardless they've introduced the practice of geo and fire magic along with dragons into other kingdoms. Soon dragon riding became a way of transportation in Callega as well.

### Much of the History of the North

Much of the history of the north was split into many different nations, sometimes they were kingdoms, sometimes they were republics. Polia magic was used as well but healing magic was the mainstream. These nations sometimes fought, sometimes they've coexisted. At first it was just humans, dwarves, and jawarvans living up in the north but now that times have changed other species including fairies have intermingled in the north starting fairy kingdoms of their own there. Later an empire known as the Farrea Empire united the equator and began pushing upward and southward. Lasting for a longtime before it disappeared but united the north and south culture a lot.

### Fairy Empire of Callega

In time the south defeated the monster kingdom of the south and started pursuing north once the Farrea Empire fell. It pursued up north sucking up one nation over another in the north. Eventually Fairy Empire of Callega united all the nations under one empire. To control the north, it used the story of the End of Helius to target the equatorian races and hate on them increased. The Fairy Empire adopted the healing arts and alchemy of the north as well. Though even with the planet united, there were many fights between the equatorian races setting up their own bases to fight against the fairies. The empire was able to fully extinguish korias and hilitakes leaving boraifas left as the only equatorian species in Callega. Later power arts derived from crystals in Callega became practiced widespread and was incorporated to many power arts. Callega started using it as a power source as well.

### The Split of Callega

Due to the extermination of many races in Callega, a fairy hunter revolution was imminent in Callega. It was the first time dragon warfare became widespread and most of the war was said to take place in air. Since the north had a much different culture than the south it was able to win the north, while unable to take the revolution southward, the nation now known as the Democratic Republic of Callega stayed in the north while the Fairy Empire continued in the south.

### Democratic Republic of Callega

Monsters from the south started fleeing in masse up to the north side to escape the killing of fairies. Despite the revolution over, wars continue on the border between the two nations. Callega settled down and started using dragons other than riding and applied technology on dragons as well. Fairy hunter academies were built in the area as they develop the warrior culture of other fairy hunter republics. Though unlike other fairy hunter republics, they're still quite peaceful remembering the four maidens. The rebirth of the honor of four maidens became widespread up in the north which was put to neglect during the fairy age. They've even developed their healing power to the point to heal even machines, something never practiced before in older times.

### War with Katio

Democratic Republic of Callega took part in a war against Katio and used dragons during the process and accidentally introduced dragons to Katio as well.

### The Art of Madeno

A practice of soul power known as madeno focused on the power of healing through soul bond. The power of madeno became a powerful tool of healing as the soul power was able to use the developed life force the soul to give healing. Since then it gain widespread attention and became popular. Many are demanding that academies try to teach it as well and some have started to gain momentum on this.

## Society

Society as we all know focuses on healing power through alchemy, magic, soul power, and aura power. In addition other known types of abilities including the use polia and plants are also a thing too. Despite with new technology on Callega, dragons are still a very widely used transportation with public dragon services being lended as free transportation by the government. As you may know DR Callega are very into alchemy especially when it means the power to heal. People closer to the equator practice more fire magic and geo magic. There are many adventurers in DR Callega today who venture far to find the Helius Crystal shards or just to get some fun in traveling, especially when you go down in the equator. Herb farming is a widely respected occupation in DR Callega. Technology wise society is somewhat a blend of traditionalistic and high tech.

## Geography

Down in the south side of the nation, it's very hot with many mountains and plains full of lava and volcanoes. Plants resistant to the hostile conditions also reside there. The place is also home to many crystals similar to fire. Up in the north there are two polia seas with mainly deserts and oasis which's where a lot of the cities are which's where the herbs grow as well.
