Vesturia

An ancient empire in northern Ranu, based loosely on imperial Russia under the czars.

Ruling Class

The imperial nobility is split into a hierarchy based on rank, family, nation, and wealth.

Privileged Nations

There are many nations and species in Vesturia, hundreds of them. The human Vesturians make up dozens of nations, the only privileged one being the Vestur, namesake of the empire. The d'yavol'skiy and konets' are two major privileged nations among other species (cythreuliad and ender, respectively) as well. The vorona chelovik nation and visyorel are avian nations with many noble families, and several kinds of dragon are honored there (zmey, zilant, chudo-ludo) and the dragon-like tugarin people.
