Roashan

Roashan is a collection of islands located in the southern nation, who worships the Celestial Dionas.

Information
Roashan is considered a beautiful sight to the eye, tending to use styling that reminds of Greek or Mediterranean culture, charming with bright and vivid colors like reds, blues, golds, blacks. Artwork and sculptures decorate the region, while enchanted lamps dot the landscape.

Geography
Roashan consists of two large islands and three smaller ones, with a couple of sandbars here and there. Its northern islands are slightly more tropical, due to being closer to the equator, while their southern islands are more foresty, similar to Mediterranean islands.

Leadership
Roashan features three major cities, as well as minor towns on the islands in its domain. The cities are ruled by a faction of royalty called the "Magistrate", three to four noble families considered to be Dionas's chosen. By being "chosen", worshipers of Dionas gain magical abilities similar to the domains Dionas represents. The Magistrate is responsible for the well being of the citizens. In return, the citizens focus on the economic side of things, whereas the Magistrate focuses on political, foreign, and military policy. Generally speaking, the Magistrate stays in the families, as these families are extremelely devout worshipers. However, villagers who display traits of what Dionas seeks have been recruited into the Magistrate in the past, usually sponsored by other families.

Culture
Roashan is a popular merchant and crafting nation. It imports almost all of its resources, barring the items that grow naturally on their islands, making it a very "rich" nation. They favor their decently powerful navy, though they do not have a very large infantry, no cavalry, or air forces. Roashan ships are very well built and a pride for its people. It is not uncommon for families to have small vessels, very similar to how farmers may have a horse.

Roashan loves art and embraces it, and express their love through various competitions. Their fashion shows are a largely celebrated event, which enjoys a lot of enthusiasm. People tend to be very excited about new arrivals, as it takes a bit of effort to sail to Roashan. Newcomers may find themselves with an unexpected entourage of curious natives.

Benediction
Roashan worships Dionas, the Celestial of water, air, beauty, and craft as their domains. Dionas's Benediction includes:


 * ★ Manipulation of water, not including ice or steam


 * ★ Manipulation of air, not including energy


 * ★ "Ritual" magic of transmutation, and alteration. In blessed lands of Dionas, mages may also be able to call upon Dionas for aid, receiving help in form of an elemental. This practice has not been done in a long time


 * ★ Rituals include vocal, physical, and visual mediums. Almost all ritual magic is done through some sort of artistic manifestation. A song, a dance, a painting or craft


 * ★ Enchanted items
