Codoran

Summary

• Physical Description: Wide range of appearances, often with slightly darker complexions, brown and black hair, and hazel eyes, due to their influence across human-controlled regions.
• Personality: Dogmatic, high-strung, and austere, placing great importance on manners, refinement, faith, and charisma. Their culture is considered the lynchpin of the northern-human world. They have a matriarchal background, with women holding status and potentially multiple husbands, and children taking the mother's name. All adults spend time in service to the church in military (templar brotherhoods) or clerical (inquisitorial offices) positions.
• Lands: The subcontinent of Codora, specifically the heartland of Vincula where the capital of the Iron Cathedral is located, and which is characterized by sweeping plains and sprawling farms.
• Relations: They seek to make vassals of human civilizations and raze non-human ones to the ground. They have strained relations with the Kismaati and Miwu due to trade and religious differences. They particularly despise the Aethervolk, Ogres, and especially the Drachmari, who are the focus of genocidal propaganda.
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil.
• Religion: Nearly all Codorans worship Ferrosianism and the patron saint, Gertrauda. They believe in the potential of humanity to achieve divinity and that it is humanity's destiny to overtake the world. Their heroes are interred as fallen saints in the Iron Cathedral.
• Language: Mainly speak Vincan, with sub-languages like Bazani, Calainese, and Polonian.
