Kingdom of RuseThe Luminous kingdom-city of Ruse is centered in prime Ersine territory. It is a sprawling city. The queen's court is located in the northwestern patch, after which is a large expanse of open land and forest before reaching the main city. To the west is a large area of open beach, surrounded by warm, Vytale seawater.
The structures of Ruse are quite evenly spread out, with wide roads and good spacing between most homes. Only small portions of the kingdom are known for tightly packed houses. Even with the available space, the Luminous population is relatively small.
Contrary to Crysus, the daylight hours of Ruse are long. Even late into the evening, there is still some waning light on the horizon. Luminous faeries enjoy their time in the light and try to replicate daylight in the streets at night. A night in Ruse is nearly as bright as day, and a right splendor to see.
It rains often in Ruse, especially in the summertime, and the vegetation is almost perpetually in bloom.
Foreign Policy:Aphotic faeries permitted entry to the outskirts of the Ruse kingdom and even into the main city under special orders. However, they are not well-liked by the citizens, and it is difficult to receive permission. Ruse is
heavily guarded, even around its borders, its men and women well-trained in defense.
Queen:Cecilie Wendel; a fair and just ruler, if not a bit haughty.
