| Reginleif An island of serenity and primordial beauty, the birthplace of the goddess of the sun-colored sea, the heart of the Arterian faith and, until recently, the center of military and political influence in Visteria. Form of Government A theocratic monarchy headed by a queen chosen by Tiara of Arteria. The Queen of Reginleif has long held absolute power, but in the past, her influence over the affairs of the church itself was limited by the council of Valkyries, where she held only one vote out of thirteen, and her role was often reduced to delivering the final verdict in situations where the Valkyries' votes were split evenly. The situation changed in 771 when, through the reforms of the newly elected queen, this system was abolished and the management of the church passed under her sole control, reducing the significance of the Valkyries to the status of advisors and symbols of faith. Arterian Schism From the day of its founding, the Church of Arteria (and Reginleif itself) was the most influential organization on the entire continent and kept other states under close control, striving to suppress conflicts between international players, and furthermore monitored the observance of human rights and prevented the spread of poverty, abuse of power, etc. For a long time, almost no one dared to question the authority of Reginleif, but over time, those appeared who would not submit to the church's total control. First, it was Serberia with its expansionist ambitions and practice of limited slavery, and toward the end of the third decade of the eighth century, a multitude of events occurred simultaneously that undermined the influence of both the church and the country attached to it: a large-scale war with Lisliar, the betrayal of Moenia and Shafran, the war with cultists, the proclamation of a heretical branch of Arterianism as the official religion of Airisufir... All this led to the weakening of the international community's trust in Reginleif, and the kingdom itself lost its primary instruments of pressure on the countries of Western Visteria. During the war years, most of the Valkyries returned to the embrace of Arteria; the fleet and army, reduced several times over, could no longer control events across the continent; funding for the bureau of magic, the inquisition, and the technology department was slashed multiple times, and Amatonte had to switch to aiding civilians, abandoning reconnaissance operations. In Western Visteria, the word of Reginleif still carries great weight, but its former greatness is now nothing more than a shadow of the past. Way of Life Life on the island passes slowly — people love to enjoy the moment. It is customary here to value every single moment of one's life, which is achieved not least by short workdays and weeks, as well as favorable working conditions. Cities are located by the azure sea; the architecture is characterized by modesty and a priority on comfort — houses are made to be cozy to live in and pleasant to behold from the outside. White and blue colors dominate the design. Inside, they are very spacious and almost always 1-2 stories. By tradition, in Reginleif, every young family receives their own house as a gift from the queen. Residents of Reginleif highly value relaxing on the beach and in the mountains, and they revere gardening, fine art (primarily sculpture and painting) and, of course, the arts associated with the priesthood — vocals, dancing, etc. Festivals are a common occurrence and are held for a wide variety of occasions. As in the architecture, the prevailing colors of the islanders' wardrobe are white and blue. Due to their upbringing, the warm climate, and the specifics of their lifestyle, the inhabitants of Reginleif are characterized by peacefulness, moderation, patience, benevolence, and cheerfulness. Many residents of other countries, however, find the local way of life extremely boring and complain about the relatively low ceiling in the social hierarchy. |
