Malrak Ixen

The Realm of Flame Undying

175 million population

 History

Formation: This moon was one of the first to be made into a civilization, as many of the fire aligned that were born planetside were unhappy with the constantly changing seasons and the cold, which made many sick during the winters.

The Clash of Claws Era: For a few decades after its formation, there were a few wars over who would reign, groups of those who were living together planetside not wanting to give up power to others. Many rose to rule and fell due ti assassination during this time, and the warring factions incurred heavy losses for decades. This era was ended when the first Grand Master of the Flame, Siksta Korinth, rallied the factions together and put and end to the wars with her might and intelligence. After this, it was decided by her that her title would be given to a hand picked heir trained by her to take over the role.

Current Times: The current Grand Master of the Flame, Vutha'isk Korinth, is the 12th to inherit the title. She is several millennia old, and is in the beginning stages of training heirs. She is a very just ruler and loves to take care of children, so she spends the most of her free time with the cities children in the play areas.

## Government

This moon country is run by a Matriarchal Monarchy, who is called The Grand Master of the Flame. This title is passed down through the chosen heir of the current Grand Master when they feel that their heir is ready to rule. The rule of the Grand Master of the Flame has never been challenged, since they tend to be one of the most powerful and intelligent of their generation.

## Society

Home of the Fire Elemental Dragons, otherwise known as the Aeifori.

### Fashions:

The Aeifori tend to prefer their draconic forms, and largely live in these forms. When the natives do take their humanoid form, they tend to favor very simple, flowing robes with muted colors.

Their homes and other buildings are built directly into the sides of the volcanoes, almost always from volcanic rock. They favor rock and mineral furniture and things that aren't easily flammable.

### Traditions:

They are very free-spirited people and favor open polyamorous relationships. Children are a communal responsibility and raised by whoever wants to do so.

### Religions:

Not many of the citizens are particularly religious in nature, so there isn't much organized religion. Most loosely practice a variant of the Light and Shade religious doctrine, mostly focusing on being non judgmental and caring of those around you.

### Social Taboos and Ideals:

Freedom of choice is the ideal of this realm, and they are very lax on behaviors and what isn't acceptable. One of the biggest taboos is to try and control how other people live, or to purposefully hurt others for your own gain. They dislike the citizens of Ignis Aeterna on the principal of seeing their society as too rigid and controlling of its citizens, and too judgmental of people's personal life choices. Their biggest point of disagreement is about how relationships should be and the importance of monogamy.

## Geography and Climate

Malrak Ixen is a very warm, volcanic climate. Home to Ganim's largest and most active volcanoes, J'nah Edar and Wivallitonash.

Home to mostly fire elementals, the temperatures remain high throughout the year. The lows are in the 80(f) degree range and can get up to the 130 degree range. Since the volcanoes are active year round, the air quality isn't suited for anyone who isn't of fire magic, and thus rarely have visitors.

## Economy

This Realms main export is a unique series of magic artifacts sought after by nearly every country and realm of Ganim. The artifacts can be used in various ways to either make or absorb heat, and can only be made in Malrak Ixen. Other artifacts are also commissioned from the crafters, but not much else is needed for this realm to flourish since they have the monopoly on temperature control artifacts. Most trade done is via bartering, so they don't have their own currency. They will accept other currency though, as it can be traded to those who travel frequently in exchange for foreign trinkets and the like.

## Trivia

Obsidian items such as jewlery and tools are all made here and are the preferred stone of most of the natives to use in their accessories, next to ruby and warm toned calcite.
