Zel
The mental image of Zel inspires great sweeping grasslands and savannas with Ahsness riders atop their Boztrids directing vast herds of grazing animals. There is more to the country than this peaceful image, however. It is a busy land with bustling cities and active traders shipping goods up and down the rivers.
Demography and Population
Ahsness: 95%
Danlae: 4%
Other: 1%
Territories
The kingdom of Zel stretches over the majority of the Norwez continent, including the Shimmering Savannah, the Plain Plateau, and the Rolling Hills. It also includes portions of the Shadowy Highland, the Mushy Glades, and the Porcupine Woods. The majority of Danlae in Zel inhabit the latter two regions, usually in small groups.
Foreign Relations
Aglas: VASSAL Zel has allowed the territory of Aglas to govern themselves providing they continue to pay taxes for military and road infrastructure support.
Belsa: FRIENDLY Zel actively trades with Belsa, in particular to import dyes, silks, and spices.
Crystaria: ALLY Zel is on good terms with the merchants of Crystaria.
Filhony: NEUTRAL Zel trades with Filhony through the Crystarian merchants.
Narkish: ALLY The border shared between Zel and Narkish moves from time to time, but since neither people is interested in the land of the other's territory, they get along well.
Orbico: RIVAL Zel sees Orbico as a rival in the production of minerals and also in the interest of Aglas. They would like more territory, but they are not currently interested in breaking the peace they have at this time.
Agriculture & Industry
The Plain Plateau and the Rolling Hills supply the agricultural needs of the nation, from grains to produce. In addition, those two regions and the Shimmering Savanna also feed the roaming herds that supply dairy, meat, and hides.
The Rolling Hills and Shadowy Highland are homes to mines pulling valuable ores from the earth.
Trade & Transport
Trade goods are transported via rivers when possible. There are established trade routes leading from the Mirror River both south to Karalile and east to Beybin, the capital city to the neighboring country of Narkish. Other than that, people transport goods in caravans over the territory.
