Oh yes, they are a bold people I believe. Hendrix will be living proof lol. After this post, I'll post all of Rhen's information with you, or at least what I have for now, I might add stuff here and there later.^^

True.. I have a few laws covered with Rhen, though we can also play it by ear and add spicier things in later too. Oh yes, I think I covered attire in my information for Rhen, or at least covered the basics. That sounds perfect for Jagerha too by the way, they'll be the more lavish kingdom of the two for sure.

~Rhen~

Geography:

Rhen is a kingdom placed in a lush forest setting, at the lower base of a smaller mountain range. although the overall territory of Rhen is remarkably vast. The kingdom has been growing rapidly over the past few decades, although they have always been rightfully their own superpower since the kingdom's original founding. There’s a larger area of plains to the west of the kingdom, otherwise it’s littered with a sparse array of vibrantly colored trees that change with the seasons. Rivers, lakes, and small streams are abundant within Rhen, easily making it a place for fertile crops and casual fishing while still having an abundance of water for the people, animals, and other uses the kingdom requires water for. The palace of Rhen itself is located at the northernmost of the territory, just before the mountains begin to ascend upwards. (I might add season specifications later, but this should be fine for now).

People:

The people of Rhen all bear a similar complexion; that being lightly tanned. They are a people that frequent the outdoors, so they always appear a bit sun kissed in the spring and summer, with them fairing a bit lighter in the winter. The royal family, nobles, and higher class in general mostly reside in Daley. The working and lower class live throughout the kingdom, with the highest concentrations of people being in the center of the kingdom, and the outskirts. Farmlands are more along the outskirts of the territory, while market towns and housing communities fair closer inland. Daley itself is the city known for its congregation of market goers and vendors. The market season is most active in spring through fall, with a variety of goods and services being offered. The general people of Rhen typically wear lighter clothing that are in a variety of brighter colors. Women typically wear simple dresses and shawls, with higher class women having typically extravagant corsets paired with skirts that have various embroideries. Men of working or lower class typically wear lightweight collared shirts and simple trousers. Higher class men usually sport various waistcoats and vests, and better tailored trousers. Royalty is an exception of course, the more lavish the better. For knights, on duty they typically sport sturdy yet lightweight silver and red armor, though usually never helmets. Their chest plates are engraved with the kingdom's symbol; that of a two headed dragon, one black and one white.

Economy/Political Structure:

Rhen is known for its vastly large economic independence. They provide much of what they use and craft. Though, as a more working and warrior based kingdom, they primarily fancy themselves with quality crops and goods, as well as well crafted weapons and armor. Natural resources are things that are a plethora to Rhen, and trade with most others usually involves things such as precious materials that Rhen may lack, but overall, Rhen is not economically reliant on anyone. Politically, the King and Queen’s words are law. There is a high table of nobles that discuss and provide suggestions on certain laws and decisions, but overall they only have the power of suggestion. The King and Queen's child(ren), in Rhen there are two princes, oversee both the prison system and external trade affairs. In the five major cities of Rhen, there is a noble man, or woman, appointed to oversee the cities running smoothly, taxes being collected rightfully, and making sure the function of the kingdom is otherwise sound. Rhen’s military is segregated into three forms; knights of the first order, general knights, and civil enforcers. The knights of the first order are the highest trained and most skilled combatants in the land. It’s a smaller force, but they are their own lethal and utterly fierce army that have been training since their early years. A single knight by themself is their own force to be reckoned with due to their array of skills; combat, stealth, intelligence, and incredible observation skills are just a few advantages they have up their sleeves. Typically they serve and dwell around Daley to be at the disposal of the royal family, and are the ones to accompany anyone outside of the kingdom. General knights are the military's backbone, and while not as specially equipped as the first order, they are fierce defenders of their kingdom. These knights are most often placed around the kingdom's borders. Civil enforcers are basically the kingdom's police force. They ensure civil matters are handled properly, handle domestic altercations, enforce laws, and generally serve the people while still reporting to their superiors.

Laws:

Above all else, thieves are looked upon as the greatest sinners in Rhen. Punishment usually amounts to the loss of a ‘wicked’ hand. Murder has various punishments; stoning, hanging, burning, beheading, etc. It depends on the severity of the murder. Lying about things such as citizenship and taxes amount to 10 years in prison, with an additional 5 years of hard labor. Treason ends in either execution or exile, though most often execution. Infidelity usually results in the loss of an eye due to the ‘eye’ deceiving the individual. For most other crimes, public shaming is the punishment, followed by various prison terms depending on the crime itself. The law is most lenient with children, deeply poverty stricken individuals, and the elderly.

Yep, got it pinned!^^

Hm, for religions we can maybe have 3 main types. One that revolves around the worship of many gods (maybe the primary religion among kingdoms?), a secondary but up and coming religion based around one deity, and then atheism. I feel like atheism might be frowned upon in kingdoms that pick up or have a dominant religion, but we can sort that out together.

Yes, I love that curse XD. Hm, lore for the marriage, and other curses... I can't say I have many ideas right now, but I'll circle back to that. As for wars, I love that idea! Maybe Rhen and Jagerha were feuding kingdoms decades before, but as they each started growing respectively larger, and with Rhen taking on a more independent structure, maybe they mutually decided to keep the peace? I'm sure they would still have their issues with one another if that's the case, which would be bigger incentive for Rhen to be sending in their assassin. We could also have neighboring, or more distant, kingdoms that could cause issues later, or we could decide any potential issues now.

I love the dragon tongue idea! Like how Rhen has their kingdom's symbol as the two headed dragon, I think myths and fantasies may also revolve around which each individual kingdom holds sacred. Creatures, or even deities if we have a religion with multiple gods and goddesses, that revolve around nature, work, and war would probably be sacred to Rhen. For example, the dragon being regarded as a fierce protector. So even the "dragon's tongue" could be something Rhen low key desires to have.

Alrighty then, I'm good with everything we have so far. An imposing nation I imagine would be fairly threatening, or even a big enough kingdom. Either option like you said would have its perks, so I think that'll be fun to throw in later.

Yes, we can definitely start! And yeah, go for the starter, I don't mind at all.^^

I imagine Hendrix being highly condescending if she tried bossing him around, or more so mocking Idara, but always with a smile. "Aw, you think you can boss me around? Cute."

Plus, since Idara doesn't handle flat out rejection well... I think Hendrix will end up being quite the pain in her ass lol. In more ways than one, but I can see Idara easily being a pain to him too XD
