The Alanian Empire, which has eight provinces within. I've only started working on the one, which is a mountainous region named Zarenia.
The thing about Spirits is they have a thing for trinkets. In this world, you craft Pledges, which are trinkets meant to appeal to a Spirit and help you bond with it.
One character has a Spirit that likes dandelions, but it has a tendency to eat them. His Pledge is a dandelion ring encased in resin.
When one other character accidentally pissed another Spirit off -- he hadn't known about Pledges, he just happened to be working with a Spirit -- the Spirit he was working with hastily put together a random trinket. Fortunately, the attacking Spirit was actually so weak, the random trinket inflated its ego and accepted it graciously.
...not gonna lie, this started off as a Pokemon fanfic. lol
