Seres
Neighboring country to Merana, Seres is a collection of industrialized city-states with a supreme ruler known as the King of kings. Their society is organized in tiers, with the upper echelons belonging to blown glass artisans and bureaucrats, followed by factory laborers and servants. Each section of the country has its own king, and the royal families are at the King of kings' disposal.
One of the main strengths of Seres is the [Bol Army], a glass-based military to which all Serian glassmiths owe at least five years of service. Amongst other things, they operate the glass watchtowers at the center of every city, a series of links across the country that can unite for defense. Vitrices in Seres are rare, and so are taken from their families to join the Bol Army as soon as their gifts are discovered. They serve exclusively at the King of kings' discretion.
Government
The country of Seres is divided up into smaller kingdoms, like city-states, that each have a ruler who earned their crown by birthright or conquest.
Defences
The Watchtowers serve as the Serian defense network, essentially glass missile silos in the center of every town.
Infrastructure
As a society that places great emphasis on Blown Glass, most of the cities in Seres are built near bodies of water, and each one has a wharf where a series of hotshops can be found. These docks tend to be connected to the rest of town by bridges or tunnels, isolating the kilns from the rest of the city. The exception is the Watchtower present in each city, which is usually the first building constructed in any new settlement - thus the rest of the buildings radiate outwards.
