Idaris

**Idaris** is the most northern country on the middle Navarrien continent, bordering the Middle Continent with the abandoned northern continent.

## Description

Located on the Idris Mountains before the Northern Continent it is the last Country one can safely reach in the north. A large wall and natural mountains separates the continents as a sole western entrance before the northern continent.

In the south lies the Country of Navarre with the Navarrien desert right next to it, the Romantik Sea in the east and the Reiszer Nations in the west beyond the desert.

A sovereign rules the country with the specialisation in earth magic as it is customory. The Twelve Oligarchic families help in their rule and have 2/3 of the political power with the Sovereign holding around 1/3.

## History

Idaris was founded by Idris the First and his descendants. After the fall of the First Sumeria Nation of humans, dwarves and therianthropes it was later remodeled into an Oligarchy with Twelve ruling families mostly consisting of Dwarves. Honering the first and last Sovereign of Sumeria Idaris reinstated the Sovereign position which governs over the families and the nation.

It has an alliance with Navarre as it shares a common cultural heritage. It supported the migrating of humans into Navarre and therianthropes into far away southern parts swearing an alliance that transcends time and blood.

During the foreign occupation of Navarre from the United Western Human Nations they supported the local population to retake the country. After the war with the Sea Nation of Romantik they relied on Navarre for peace negotiation.

They enjoy a time of peace in their country as there are no nations who play interest in attacking either Navarre or Idaris, making it possible to concentrate their efforts on defense in the north against the Malkuth Invasions.

## Political Relationships

### Navarre

Status: Familiar (normally), tense (currently)

Navarre is their closest ally, sharing a common heritage. They endured many hardships together but after the Death of their Sovereign Idris, the increased Malkuth Invasions in the north and the Reiszer Attacks their current Sovereign Seth who succeded his cousin closed up all borders and diplomatic relations.

### Reiszer Nations

Status: Neutral (normally), cold (currently)

Idaris execises no formal relationships with the Reiszer Nations as they hold no sympathy for reiszer born individuals. Due to the Navarrien desert and the mountains in between there are no existing routes anymore except for the old and abandoned Silver Road that stretched from the North East to the South West.

### Romantik Sea

Status: Cold

The people of Romantik and Idaris had a tense relationships for decades even though they don't can't remember what they were fighting for anymore. Sea Therianthropes and Dwarves tend to not get along and rely on the help of Navarre for diplomatic talks.
