This is some more information about the nation of Véhonas in the world of Enderion. If you want a birds-eye view of ALL the nations in Enderion, then I also have a thread for that here.
Véhonas
Véhonas is one of the largest nations in the world. It is located in the Southeast and most of its people live in the eastern part of the nation. Véhonans are tall and proud and generally keep to themselves and trade with the rest of the world little. They are a loose confederation of small tribes that only gather together in time of war.
The country is divided into roughly twelve different sub-tribes, each ruled by a leader that is determined differently for each tribe. The main leader of the country lives in Vehon but has little real power, outside of calling the entire nation to war. Legal cases, however, are taken to the leader in Vehon. The nation's geography is large and sprawling and sparsely populated.
Véhonas has very little dealings with other nations, they generally keep to themselves. The few merchants in the country live in the cities and mainly trade with the Culvinian islands. In antiquity, a great deal of land trade went between Véhonas and Nerandia but after the destruction of the latter those trade routes fell silent (also affecting the Enclave, which lies between Véhonas and Nerandia)
Culture in Véhonas is very simple. Ancestors are highly honored, but not worshipped as in Qaluros. The Creator is held in reverence and awe and no Véhonan will go on a journey through the woods before asking His permission in prayer. Their lifestyle is very simple and dedicated only to staying alive. No extra frills are encouraged, except in the area of weapons, where Véhonans may possess swords and bows that their ancestors had made and passed down through the family.
The people are highly emotional and value deep relationships with a few people; however they are very determined and will not stop until they have accomplished their goal, even at the risk of their life. It is this bravery that makes them unstoppable in single combat; or the chances they take at the risk of their own lives. Though in hand-to-hand combat a Véhonan could easily beat any other race except possibly a Mountain Dwarf or a Shibaar, they are very unorganized in army combat and thus can lose large portions of ground quickly. This is how Qaluros was able to overrun the entire western half of the country so easily in the Great War.
This nation is based off of: Native Americans (specifically the Cheyenne)
