## About

Eidyn Aonar (Eidyn) is a small isolationist country in the north of Beinn in the Eidan Sea. It is ruled by the current Rì, Vee, and the Noble Council which is currently controlled by The National Sect Of Eidyn with a majority of 72%.

## Geography

### Along The Eidan Sea

Eidyn is a medium sized country placed along the coast with the Beinn moutains to the south seperated from the Fuil mountains to the South-East by the Beàrn Gap. The mainland is almsot fully forested, along with Tuatha. However, the other great island, Àruile, is completely barren of trees. A majority of the minor islands are also barren due to the southern winds coming from the Beàrn Gap.

### Far to the North

The far Northern islands are all covered in permafrost layer that is over 3m deep as well as the sea being permanently frozen for 11 months a year which makes living there incredibly tough.

### The Great Islands

The Great Islands are a group of 3 large islands in the Eidan Sea on which the majority of the population lives.

### The Minor Islands

The Minor Islands are all islands in the Eidan Sea not part of The Great Islands. They are plentiful, small, and mainly inhabited by the Uisan, especially in the south.

## Regions

There are 5 regions within Eidyn Aonar officially called "Sgìres"

### Soithe Geala

Soithe Geala is a Sgìre in Eidyn which is located in the very far north on the Pòna Sea (often called the frozen sea as it is frozen over all year)

### Eilean Blàth

Eilean Blàth the only Sgìre to be connected to the continent. It is the original start of the Greater Eidyn colony due to its large amount of natural reasources and isolation away from the rest of the world which made it a good location for a secret colony. Fittingly the rough translation of the name is "Homeland" as it is where our people began anew away from the turmoil of the old world.

### Tuatha Achaid

Located on the west of the Eidan Sea it is comprised of one of the Great Islands and a few Minor Islands. The main island is full of trees and sparsley poplated as a majority of the population are Làhoren natives who live with nature.

### Indepenece

balh blah smth abt how diff culture, own nation, railways, deforetainon, language diff, more autonomy [FOCUS ON THIS AS A SOLUTION]

## Demographics

There are 4 major ethnicities within Eidyn Aonar; Eidans, Làhoren (Natives), Soithe (Northern Nomads), and Uisan (Southern Nomads)

 Uisan

### Eidans

Eidans are the descendants of the once mighty Greater Eidyn whose people travelled here many centurties ago. The traditions are quite similar to the ones once celebrated by the people of Eidyn and Treant as those were the two main groups that fled during The Persecution becuase they were the main targets of the genocide

### Làhoren

The Làhoren are the natives to this approximate region.

And they currently live here

### Soithe

The Soithe are nomad who live in Soithe Geala and the surrounding islands.

They fish and hunt the sea creatures that live in the frozen ocean. They travelled to the region approximatley 800 years ago due to persecution in some other northern nation to the East.

### Uisan

The Uisan are a mix of many peoples such as the Làhoren, Eidans, and other ethnicities who are now assimilated into others; left the region; or just died out. They live in the Southern Isands, and peninsulas in and out of Eidyn.

They are, like the Soithe, nomadic sea traverlers. However, a large difference between their types of nomadism is that the Uisan usually "retire" to a single place once they are too old to continue the nomadic lifestyle.

## Internal Politics

Eidyn Aonar is ruled by the Rì and The Noble Council jointly. The Noble Council has more power over the Rì unless there is considered a state emergency.
