Principalities of the Immortal Prince Veran

The Principalities of the Immortal Prince Veran thrive in wealth and innovative technology once thought impossible.

History
Ansyr was formerly the strongest of the nations, but is now losing power to the Veran Principalities due to the strength of their innovation. There is tension between the two nations, as the Principalities push for railroads and similar technologies and Ansyr resists the change.

Culture
As the culture is based on unbridled capitalism and commerce, extravagance and wealth are valued.

Veran has so many differing art forms within it that art ranges wildly from one side of the spectrum to the other. In addition to fashion as an art, paintings of noble families done by the best artists are highly treasured. They also are the most advanced in terms of technology, so photography is quickly rising in that region.

Fashion is a huge form of expression, the use of silk becoming very prevalent. The fashions are looser, but elegant, as everyone is seeking luxury and opulence.

Magic
There is a mix of magics and technology in the Principalities. As with most things, magic in the Principalities is treated as a means to profit. However, it can often be easier and cheaper to buy or create technology that can do the same thing as learning a spell, so overall they trend more towards technology than magic.

Isle of Trium
The Isle of Trium is Principality territory, but it was once known as "The Great Forest", and belonged to a subset of people from the Primeval Wilds that lived beyond the Peninsula. It was said that the god Ariyl separated the island themselves. The reason why varies based on the storyteller.

The Principality colonized it quite recently, after a long struggle with the people who were there. They named the Islands the Isle of Trium to document their victory.
