Green Raven
Green Raven is the country south of entrelai. They share the Murmuring Hills, the south river and The Frontier Forest
The geografical description of this country below that is as follow:
- The part of The Frontier Forest which reach into the green raven province, is small and it dangles into coast, becomimg more of marshy forest than the dangerous jungle which is in Entrelai. Below that, the terrain lost altitutude where the forest leaves terrain to pure rocks who go downwards towards in several rapids system in the sea and several screes towards a basin. This basic host the main portuary city on this country, feed the sea, the basin and the forest.
Towards the left, below the Murmuring Hills, the river from the mointanins, feed an impresive grassland. another of the big city of this country, lies in this planice, surounded by a huge number of small villages and towns, which are agrarial in nature. Below the grassland area, at the end of the river, an impresive lake rest. - Left of the lake, another city, (maybe the capital) lies close to the impresive cliff that come down from the mountains which separate this country from The Imposible Desert. Those cliff hold the heart of the nation for this country, as the server a the perfect deterant from intruders and the are extremely defensible. Their caves, both natural and artificial host a the green monastery and the raven libraries. Where all the higher crafts of the country are practiced and teached.
The sacred forest also lies both around tha cliffs and beyond them. The forest area beyond the cliffs, can only be accesed by those who have the express permision of the religious order of the green raven. All life inside this forest is considered sacred, as well. Anyone who has consumed anything from this forest is free to stay inside, as long as they wish, but they will be killed if they ever exit the area.
Structure
They are going to be a caste system. Each caste symbolize a different side of the green raven. In theory all caste are of the same importance, as the green raven needed them all to exists. All caste need to work harmoniously for the nation to be healthy.
The caste is anounce by a collar, each individual is assigned a caste and a collar, when it turn 8, which is considered, the age of the raven.
Invidual can change caste, but the process is ardous depending of the location where the individual lives, as it involved a pilgrimage to the raven monasteries, to explain and defend the new calling, the raven has given to the individual. If the individual arrives and are able to defend their new calling sucesfully, they will be granted their new caste. If the council reviewing the calling is undecided, they may assign a challenge for the applicant to complete.
If the applicant fails to defend their calling, they are normally turned back. The individual must face the challenge to go back to their original location as he arrived here.
There are rumours, speaking of aplicants which did not submit to the decision of the raven. Those who went agaist their will, became castless. Their collar removed and they are hidden in the depest caves of the hills, where the sun will never reach and forced into menial task, which contribute nothing to neither society, nor the raven.
Culture
The people of the green raven see their country as an extesion of the Green Raven and of themselves. A living organism, which different part interacting with each other. Society is not different than a perrson. They only work correctly if everyone is happy to do their part.
Children are encoraged since they are given their collars to show their acomplisments to their peers and elders. This will show everyone, how much they love their place in society and how much are they improving on it. It is also consider unpolite to show disdain regarding this acomplisment. All acomplisment must be hugely celebrate, especially by those which are close to the person making the show. But moderate sign of apreciation, are Ok, if the individual seem to have stallen in their craft.
Foreigner as welcomed in the big merchant cities for a time. They are given their own collar, marking them as sunch. If they want to settle down permanetly, they would need autorization for this. This is easier to adquire, if the person has a conection to a family, that it willing to sponsor them.

This country has a very long and prosperous comerce relationship with The Conclave. This is based, in both countries having a collectivist mindset and a positive view of foreigner travelers, but not so much as for those who settle down.Entrelai
Green Raven sees Entrelai, as a young country, but they do have good trade relationship with them. But since their civil war, the relationship has become more stained. There is several faction in their goverment, which thinks that Entrelai expasionism will try to hit their border next, after their victory in the civil war, which was an expasinism outreach. But this is debated by other factions, which believe, they only assert control over their territory, as given to them from their raven, to ensure their society would continue to work correctly, and it didn't not involve any expasionism. So their country is not threaten by them On any case, there are a significant number of troops, regularily stablished in the border with their country
