 Erelandra
////
The land of Angels, Magicians, and Mythical beasts, at the dead center of all the other countries. The main capital of Elerandra is Adyniel. The nation is led by a Senate chosen by the people themselves, with a Grand Senetor at the head who finalizes all decisions for the people. The current Grand Senetor is Jakiel Viceroy. Their culture, clothing, and architecture is similar to that of the Romans and Egyptians with ties into European culture when it comes to their buildings. It is a land that is mostly flat, grassy plains with several small mountains near the southern border (bordering Goleta), and a big lake near the north-western border (bordering Erowyth and Noeven).
They welcomes visitors, but they rarely have any. Many travellers try to avoid the country dur to the wild beasts that reside in the forests and caves of the land. Most visitors only come for the annual Festival of Magic, where the wizards show their powers in a tournament. Many priests comes from here as it is the "most holy of lands" and is "blessed by the Gods above" according to many. They do not have an elaborate army as the other nations as they are seldom targeted as they are very peaceful and will negotiate terms. They do not get along well with the demons, however, as that is a race that is the polar opposite of everything the Angels (who lead the land) are. Their main focus is to export clothing, goods (art, food, etc), and they often need to import weapons and armoury in case of battle.
The flag of Erelandra represents that the key to life is found within one's soul. The grey, black, and gold colors were to represent different things that Erelandra holds dear. The dark grey background represents their bond with the heavens, the black cross represents their protection of all life within their lands, and the twin golden keys represents the keys of wisdom and freedom

 AdynielWhile many would say that the Angels and Wizards of Istrea are very generous and caring people who do all they can for others, the palace and everything within Adyniel shows their pride for their capital kingdom. Built with sturdy stone and adorned in silver and gold, the palace is seen from a great distance as many can see the Statue of the Valkyries along the palace itself, garbed in gold and jewels of vast variety. Because it is a nation not ruled by a King and Queen, it is humble in it's design. While the buildings look grand from the outside, the interiors, for both "high" and "low" class are all the same; simple and rustic. Few have more than they need, as it is not a custom for them. Even those regarded as a higher class would have only what was needed for them and their families. Most of their spare money is given to their allies or donated into training their army in their Training Arena on the outskirts of the city on the other side of the Grand Bridge.

The clothing worn in Erelandra is that of more modern Grecian styles.

Erelandra Religion
The religion of Erelandra is close to that of Germanic, Nordic, and Celtic Gods. Valkyries are a dominant part of this religion, being female warriors chosen by the God of all Gods to protect his people and aid him when the End of Days came. The many Gods have names that change depending on where in Erelandra one hails from. However, they are only variations of one another and are commonly regarded as one and the same to those of Erelandran blood. Even though men cannot become Valkyries once they die, they are still welcomed into the Halls of Heaven with the Gods. They are often brought back as the pegasus' that the Valkyries ride into battle. The Twelve Gods are as follows:
Nizruer - God of all Gods, God of Time
Syqdis - Mother of Gods, Wife of Nizruer, Goddess of Life
Alaldir - God of Storms
Adthar - God of Animals and Nature
Eses - God of War
Zipemis - Goddess of Day
Ubton - God of Night
Feldir - God of Sickness, God of Death
Wabses - God of Travel
Xomos - God of Magic
Olnus - Goddess of Music, Goddess of Love
Fivion - God of the Hunt
