Kalimvar
From Myths of Atalan Wiki
Kalimvar is a highly militaristic country that is split into six regions located to the west of Halmoria. Each Region is ruled by a Unirion that is elected by the common people from amongst the local Nobility. The Nobility of Kalimvar is split into two groups, Low Nobles and High Nobles. High Nobles can only gain such status through military achievement, and the title is not passed down to their children. Low nobles are the family and decedents of current and past high nobles. All the current Unirions of Kalimvar happen to be High Nobles. Governing the six Unirions is the Emperor, The Emperor is a hereditary position and the same family has ruled Kalimvar since it's unification nearly a thousand years ago. Kalimvar is made up of a cold mountainous region in the north, with a fertile breadbasket in the south.
The people of Kalimvar are disciplined, and typically highly patriotic, the age old tradition and law demanding all able bodied citizens to serve at least two years in the military has forged Kalimvar into a nation not easily trifled with. It is the Kinjarin however that make it truly formidable. The Kinjarin are an elite force, trained from nearly birth to be the main military arm of Kalimvar. The nation itself has stabilized in the last hundred years or so, making no further grabs for territory in that time.
That changed significantly during the Halmoria-Kalimvar War, though those in Eramere yet debate why and how it changed, and the reason for the first attack, with some blaming the matter on the Lakoi.
