Jushvyn Empire

Jushvyn Empire
Rising from the fallen Lasant, Jushvyn Empire and its people are rich in history. The Empire is small, but mighty and its residents are all trained in magic and martial arts, from birth taught how to protect themselves. The days when Lasant were suppressed are over, and it is the time to soar into freedom.
Jushvyn Empire is ruled by an Empress and an intimate council of race-representatives, who speak for each individual race that resides within Jushvyn Empire. Jushvyn aims to be a place of peace and prosperity, and while it is on a great track, the Empire and the Empress are still relatively young and have a great deal to learn about ruling and people.
Most races are welcome and the class system in Jushvyn is fairly equal. While division still exists, the Lasant who have started this empire in Takaata many years ago know what it is like to be abused and thrive to forgive, forget and move on to a better future. Science and magic are encouraged, but Gods are largely discouraged and all Old Gods are banned. Jushvynians frown on the Old Gods and often blame them for their troubles and the enslavement of Lasant at the hands of the magical Roevians.

Horizon City
Horizon is the largest city in Jushvyn and the unofficial capital of the Empire. Horizon city is filled with lavish buildings, decorated with flowers and magical enhancements. Curious shops and wonders surround the city, farmlands stretch out to the forests nearby and the sea is close enough to be seen from some of it’s tallest buildings. The city is both a technical marvel and a magical advancement to a brighter, better future.
Unlike many other countries, kingdoms and empires, Jushvynians are taught how to protect themselves, therefore a military presence is hardly needed. In case of an attack or war, the elder Jushvynians will jump to protect those who cannot protect themselves, without question. It is a race of people who are selfless and dedicated to one goal - a better future. Servitude or slavery of any kind does not exist within Horizon City and all people are expected to be paid their share.
Most of the population is human, but a large percentage is also half-elven, halfling, half-orc, gnome, half-goblin, aasimar and tiefling. The land here is bustling with about thirty thousand inhabitants, all striving to better the nation and keep the peace.

Ghon Horizon Valley
The valley is right next door to Horizon City and provides most of the cities and empires crop. Many different types of fruits and vegetables are grown in the valley’s bountiful fields and forests.
The people who reside in the valley are the same as in the city - ready to protect themselves and others. Here, farmers collaborate together to make sure that the Empire is fed and form a small trade channel with the neighboring Takaata. The largest towns within the valley are Burtik, Noq, Obelin and Tyruk. Each town tends to specialize in their own trade. Burtik has the most animals and provides plenty of meat for everyone. Noq enjoys the fishing provided by the Giver’s Lake and the sea. Obelin grows fruits and exotic vegetables, usually not found all around Wesandran. Tyruk provides plenty of crops to make bread and other common household foods.
The towns together make about thirty thousand inhabitants in the valley. Most of these are human, half-orc, goblin, dwarf and halfling. However, occasionally you can also spot a farm owned by a kenku, kobold or even a bugbear.

Qisnd Lake
Just like Ghoelo, Jushvynians are wary of Qisnd lake. While the lake has plenty of fish and freshwater, the villagers here are far in between, and those who live don’t stray close to water after dark.
Some of the fishing trade definitely comes from the lake and river that descends towards the mountains, but it’s not much and the villagers who settle here tend to be here out of a wish to be left alone, and not really out of their love for water and nature.

Nava Valley
Nava Valley is another source of food and animals in Jushvyn. The valley neighbors the hills of Nava, and is a more peaceful ground, protected by forests and mountains from either side.
Most Navians are well trained in combat, but are wary of magic. While they have certainly seen magic in their life, they tend to be less trusting of those who use it excessively. Navians provide mostly animals and meats, and furs to the outer regions of Jushvyn and beyond.
The Navian population is largely human, especially made of humans who are not capable of magic or choose not to embrace it. People here also stray away from believing too much in Gods.
In recent years, Navians have voiced their wish to join Takaata and separate from Jushvyn but it has been hard for the Empress to reconcile with that fact - and thus Navians remain in Jushvyn, slowly rising to be discontent with its overflowing magic users

Loson Forest
Loson Forest used to be a peaceful location for Navians and other Jushvynians, but in recent years the forest has become infested with monsters and dangerous witches. In addition to that, a band of bandits, who wish to separate the forest from Jushvyn have risen and began attacking peaceful villages in Nava and Ghon Horizon.
These bandits work under the name “Forest Spirits” and are listed as dangerous. They all bear an insignia of the Destor and work in his name. The Navians are afraid of these bandits, but not as afraid as they are of the clan of witches - The Fekras. The bandits also often clash with witches, but these clashes have been relatively scarce, mostly because witches possess more power than the bandits.

Giver’s Lake
Giver’s Lake is right next door to Ghon Horizon valley and provides the valley with water and moisture needed to grow more difficult crops. The lake is a peaceful place, used for many as a recreation spot. It’s one place where a lot of tourism is garnered.
The Giver’s Lake warrants its name from its “giving” nature. The lake provides water to many regions of Wesandran, not just Jushvyn.
