Hey everyone, I died as a normal man and returned as Nightstar The Bright! New Scholar and Arcanist.

But seriously, I write mostly Nalthian articles sprinkled with some Canticle pages.

I’m currently fixing Hanald.

Geography and ecology

Halland encompassed the lowlands of modern day Hallandren and the mountain range of modern day Idris. It is bordered by the Bright Sea to the east. The capital city, T'Telir, still sits on the coastline[1] and is a major trade center.[2] The Tears of Edgli grow only in the soil of Halland, and later Hallandren. This is due to Investiture seeping into the ground from Endowment's Perpendicularity.[3][4]

The valley has a moderate climate that is never too cold and rarely experiences harsh weather.[5] While the mountains experience cold weather, and few warm summers. The climate in the valley allows food to be grown without difficulty, while agriculture is harder in the mountains due to the cold. Powerful earthquakes are a frequent occurrence in the valley.[6] The growth of plants in this region is partly helped by Investiture, much like the Elendel Basin.[4]

The valley is inhabited by panthers, parrots, monkeys, and crocodiles.[7][8][9] The Bright Sea is full of life, including many sorts of mussels, fish, and tentacled creatures.[10][11][12] Elephants and zebras are said to be exotic creatures from "the south." While this is said during the age of Hallandren, these two kingdoms are in roughly the same place, so it can be assumed this is still valid. However it is unclear whether this means they come from southern Halland or south of Halland.[9]

The northern mountains have vegetation that buds out in spring, though it only gets warm for a brief period each year. Some valuable roots grow high up in the mountains.[13][2] There are fields and meadows with grasses and wild flowers. The air is crisp and chilly due to the elevation.[14] A known type of flower is the Vanavel, the flower and the roots from this plant are eatable.[13]

Culture and Economics

People

The people of Hanald were likely of Chedesh origin, due to the kingdom being started by a group of Chedesh men and women. There were probably some Pahn Kahl living in the kingdom., although they had their own kingdom as well.

Economy

The new kingdom of Hanald flourished quickly, likely because of the dye trade, as Hanald was the only kingdom in which the Tears of Edgli grew, and also because of all the other products which only grow in the jungle climate of Hanald.

Hanald was also situated on the shores of the Bright Sea, opening many trade routes to other nations such as Tedradel. Hanald’s capital was the prime port of T’Telir, further advancing trade. The mountains of modern day Idris were in its domain as well, and with it access to many minerals, including the only copper mines in the known world. These mountains also open trade routes to the northern kingdoms, such as Kuth and Huth.

Politics and Royals

The kingdom was ruled by either a King or a Queen. As the Idrian Royal family does this it can be assumed that the eldest child, be it man or woman, inherits the throne.[13] The first ruler was Vo’s wife, who became Queen of Hanald after his death.[7] Shortly before his death he impregnated her, starting the royal line of Hanald, the people of this line would rule Hanald for the next three hundred years.

Those of the royal family who either ruled or were potential heirs had the Royal Locks: hereditary hair that changes color according to the bearer's emotional state, at their will, or not at all when the bearer uses training and discipline to suppress the changes.[15][10] Those with the Royal Locks can also grow them when they want to, and this feels to them as if they were using a physical muscle.[16]

The servants of Hanald’s kings were killed when the kings died so they could serve in the afterlife.

The royal family turned their attention to the development of Awakening. And with help of the Five Scholars Hanald quickly became a powerhouse in the use and development of awakening commands.
