Pronunciation: sea-o-DAR-ia
Map Index: C-5
Location: North Central Aorlan
Description: Located within the untamed wild lands south of the Kingdom of Arnheim, the land of Ceodaria exudes an aura of harmony along with natural beauty. Populated by humans living in a tribal society, nature thrives in a symbiotic relationship between its inhabitants and the surrounding deciduous forests. While the tribes of Ceodaria lead settled agrarian lifestyles, they carefully cultivate the land in harmony with nature. The majority of their land is deliberately left in undisturbed forest. Following the guidance of the druids, they are conscious to only clear the minimum land they need to grow crops. Forested areas that are used to provide lumber for their buildings are replanted using carefully selected seeds and nuts.
Residents: The lands of Ceodaria are populated by human tribes who mostly coexist peacefully. The wise and revered druids, spiritual leaders of the tribes, act as intermediaries, employing their wisdom and diplomacy to resolve disputes before hostilities arise. Their guidance and mystical insight ensure that harmony prevails, leading to a general prosperity amon the tribes.
Primary Population: Ceodari
Secondary Population: Arn, Valtauri
Minor Population: Garuun, Half-Ghruz, Kharg, Kharz, Sareisi, Shenn, Varynn
Government and Politics: Ceodaria consists of a collection of tribes and does not have a central leader. Each tribe is led by an elder and a small council. The rules that govern their selection vary by tribe. Each tribe sends one representative to the Great Council that meets several times of the year. The Great Council works with the druids to ensure harmony and cooperation between the tribes. The tribes of Ceodaria enjoy good relations between themselves and the Kingdom of Arnheim as well as the Valtauri elves that live in Dinbrethil and Mithtaur.
Economy: The economy of Ceodaria revolves around agriculture and the utilization of forest resources. The tribes' sustainable agricultural practices ensure a steady supply of food, while the forest provides an abundance of resources to meet their needs.
As Ceodaria exists in proximity to the Kingdom of Arnheim, occasional interactions occur, fostering trade and cultural exchange. The tribes of Ceodaria respect their neighbors and often provide forest goods and agricultural surplus to Arnheim in exchange for tools, weapons, and other necessities they cannot produce themselves. The Ceodari also trade surplus agricultural products with the Valtauri elves of Dinbrethil.
Military: Military strength in Ceodaria is not a prominent aspect of tribal life. While the tribes may possess a contingent of skilled hunters and defenders, their focus lies primarily on peaceful coexistence and sustainability rather than martial prowess. They rely on their collective wisdom and the druids' guidance to ensure their safety and protect their lands from external threats.
History: The history of Ceodaria is a tale of communion with nature and the growth of harmonious tribal societies. At the time of the Great Cataclysm, the Ceodari people lived near what is now a sunken coastline. To escape the chaos and turmoil generated by this tragic event, the tribes moved westward to a great forested wilderness. As they settled in this new region, they followed the teachings of the druids, establishing a bond with the land and its spirits. Through their collective efforts, they transformed the wild lands into thriving agricultural settlements, preserving the delicate balance between civilization and the natural world.
Today: Today, Ceodaria remains a land of tranquility and reverence, with its tribal way living in harmony with nature. The tribes continue to cultivate the land, guided by the wisdom of their druids, and maintain peaceful relations both among themselves and with the neighboring Kingdoms of Arnheim and the Valtauri wood elves of Dinbrethil, The Great Birch Woods. Ceodaria stands as a testament to how humans, following the teachings of the druids, can find balance and live in harmony with the land.
