The Kingdom of Tsavania

The Kingdom of Tsavania is a large kingdom nation in the northern part of Adonia, bordering the kingdoms of Atraca, Nivarden, and Escaria as well as the Republic of Daristein.

Located in the southern region is the capital city of Talnagrad which is a sprawling industrial metropolis home to roughly one million Tsavanians.

Aside from some very impressive military workshops and metal foundries Talnagrad is also home to the Royal Palace which itself is home to the Tsar and the final resting place for all his predecessors.

History
Originally founded at the end of the Age of Darkness to unite the fleeting clans and warlords of current-day Tsavania, the history of Tsavania is a bloody one.

Aside from the many wars for land and resources there has also been a number of internal conflicts between men and men as well as men and werebeasts.

In modern age these conflicts have been more about territory than anything else as the Tsavanian state is quite capable of taking care of itself.

Culture
Tsavanians are a proud people who follow strict moral codes and vows of honor. They are fierce in battle and, as part of the Decree of the Firstborn, all firstborns are submitted to military service at a young age.

This is a sacred tradition which has ensured that the people remain ready for both war and rogue werebeasts alike.

While Tsavanians take great pride in their hospitality the opposite side of this is that they expect the sick and old to fend for themselves which in turn leads to alot of older citizens or those crippled with disease living out on the streets.

Werebeasts in the Royal Army
Another tradition which began with the first Tsar is the use of werebeasts in the military. Volunteers, weaklings or those without family may choose to become a werebear. These soldiers are used as heavy shocktroops and are often found working in conjunction with light infantry or scout parties.

During the last war with Atraca the Tsavanian werebears were used to great effect against the enemy.
