Leader appearance:

https://pin.it/4iNPjNi

Leader Beliefs: (what they think of mixing lands, what they think of the poor, of the rich, of the different origins under their reign, do they have favorites? etc etc etc.)

* Very annoyed by the constant reminder that everyone wants to mix lands due to past of the Swamp
* Everyone is close together in social class, they don't have a real concept of “poor.” Everyone helps everyone.
* Grand Witch Agatha has equal love for those she guides.
* Although she doesn’t believe in mixing lands she is a firm believer that wars should at one point or another always be resolved. She is the messenger between Lands

These two are sworn against each other due to the civil war of the magics. (Charlotte refers to her as Hagatha.) Very Negative.

* Emperor Frost:

After the War of Frost Sea and Fire, Grand Witch Agatha helped them and Magma stay in contact, Grand witch Agatha does not like how they treat the poor though. Neutral.

* Queen Magma:

They get along rather well! They have a business with potions and, overall, just a very nice relationship. Very Positive.

* Queen Python:

Not much interaction, but they have similar ideals of peace. Neutral leaning positive.

* King Calico:

They live near each other and help each other out in times of need. Positive.

* “The King”:

They know of each other and speak on occasion but that's it. Neutral

* Queen Lilianna:

After the Witching Agatha has despised Lilianna for throwing out her people the way she did. Negative

* Lady Owl:

Both rulers have been ruling for a long time so they know each other well and, having both driven out a group of people from their countries they both have sympathy for each other. Positive.

* Empress Sweetberry:

Barely any contact between the two. Neutral

* Queen Pearl:

Having originally been allies during the First War, the Swamps of Reeds and the Seas of Atlantis have always gotten along due to trading freshwater and seawater goods. Positive.

Public Opinion on Leader:

Most love her and the way she guides her kingdom. There are a few groups of people that have no emotions on her and one main group that despises her for sending the Arachnids and Evokers away, because this tore apart a few socially non conforming families

Motivations for sending their people to the experiment:

To hopefully beget peace upon the lands; Not to beget land mixing

# RELATIONSHIPS

Tolerates and why:

* Most are tolerated for the same reason. They don't need to be on bad terms, so they aren't.

Hates and why:

* Caves of Amaranth

Competition of the moors.

* The Village of Eastworth

The Witching.

# AESTHETIC

All of the clothing has a very “home made” feel to it, all being very moveable and work friendly, a good portion of the clothes are made from plants and scraps of other clothing. (Most Soldiers are volunteers using magic as their main armor)

Most Common Occupations:

* Farmers
* Pharmacists (apothecary)
* Wood workers
* Tradesmen

# HISTORY

TL;DR: Around 140 years ago The Evokers and Arachnids and Witches and Slimes got into a massive argument that put the swamp into a civil war. After about a year of the civil war the leaders of both sides came to an agreement and they sent their strongest magic users to a duel. The witches won and got to stay in the moors with the Slimes. The arachnids and evokers however had to leave. (Forming Caves of Amaranth)

Around 140 years ago, said to be the start of Evenora’s rule there was a disagreement between the Grand Witch (Who ruled over the Witches and Evokers) and King Longlegs (Who ruled over Arachnids and Slimes) And they expressed that to their people who were allowed to pick sides, those with magic split up and the Slimes went to Grand witch agatha for protection. Due to this civil war between the four origin types, Grand Witch Agatha and King Longlegs decided to have a competition of sorts. The Witches strongest would go against the Evokers strongest in a fight to the death using magic and magic alone. The fight was long, lasting 5 days and 4 nights, but in the end Grand Witch Agatha was able to slay High Wizard Marden Everbleed. This was a devastating loss for the Evokers and Arachnids, but the deal was the deal. The Evokers and Arachnids had two weeks to exit the Swamps of Reeds before further bloodshed. This tore families and friends apart, but it was for the better of the countries that they separated.

During the war of Frost, Sea, and Fire, Reeds was very neutral and did their best to stay that way for as long as possible.[Successful]  However after the war they stayed in contact with all of the participants and acted as a Telephone for Fields of Ash to contact Hail and Atlantis.

Because of Reeds neutrality to everyone they were able to make allies with more territories than not. These Allies helped them get more ingredients for potions. Trading is their main export for the potions they send out

Wars? Trades? Important events? How did it start? Anything important goes here! (If it’s very long, make a summary on top of the history for those who struggle LMAO)
