Serida

Serida is a country that dominated the northern third of La'tia.

Climate and Geography
Serida has had one of the hardest time establishing a foothold as a country due to the harsh environment of portion of La'tia they inhabit. The majority of the province is dominated by a massive glacier, while almost the entire rest of the province is covered by mountains. Before reaching the glacial plains, but after the mountains there is a small area of open plains in which most of the Seridan population lives. The two major towns of Serida, Barzdul and Everrast are both set in this area, but other smaller towns and estates dot the mountains of Serida.

Politics
Serida has a militaristic society, placing value on military service and rank. This has led to a patriarchal outlook, due to males' physical strength making their prowess in battle superior. The majority of Serida's income comes from their agrarian output of cold-weather grains, meats, hides, and herbs.

The Seridan People
The inhabitants are almost entirely Sarr'fuhl wolves, due to their thicker fur coats, and sheer hardiness against the elements. They are well-known throughout La'tia for acting noble, and gracious.

In the Guardian Principle the general of Serida is General Vazgur Mateid.

History
When La'tia was in disarray from the 24 kingdoms, the wastes of Serida were mostly uninhabited. Three founders traveled north in search of refuge from the war. Reibwyr Veil, Haearn Mateid, and Azerim Nafar established the foundations of what would become Barzdul, and brought the wolves of La'tia north. Haearn took the lead of the three, guiding the newcomers and teaching them how to defend themselves against the warlords of the south. Azerim build wards into the stones of the city's walls, defending them against magic, and Reibwyr watched over everyone to ensure their safety.

They thrived in prosperity thanks to this, and fended off the war from the south. Before La'tia was unified, Reibwyr Veil grew restless and dissipated into the mountains in search of some knowledge unknown to the others. From that day forth, Reibwyr's descendants would seek refuge in his halls, despite his death at the age of three-hundred and fifteen.

The last known member of his line is Seker Veil.
