The Kingdom of Ogomia

The Kingdom of Ogomia has stood for centuries as one of two dominant powers on the Western Continent. Its system is feudal in nature, with a ruling class made up of Lords ruling over peasants who are tied to their ancestral lands. After the Fall of Humanity, the Council of Unseen Blades' many Hearths rebelled against their masters, a series of revolutions that brought a hundred petty kingdoms to fruition. In a few hundred years, the Kingdom of Ogomia reigned the northern half of the Wesland. Ogomian Rhetoric became the dominant philosophy, a philosophy of thought and rationality. A culture of practicality in all things took hold of the kingdom, and rhetoric became the chief evidence of leadership viability. The King's Bloodline is attended to constantly by a dozen different viewpoints, **** to contend with so many perspectives in an attempt to be the fairest, smartest, and wisest ruler possible.

Despite the rationalistic ways of Ogomia, they have retained an amount of magic based on rhetorical principles of sorcerous law. While still being debated to this day, the magic of Ogomia is incredibly rational. Cause and effect, itemized recipes of power, repurposed animal parts, all in service to a relatively new arcane practice, that of divine magic without divinity. This practice is vigorously debated in the halls of learning and in public forums, and its study is led by the Order of Luminous Wrath. With their discovery of the Sunstones, they have found a way to mimic the magic of The Creator. The Order has grown to such influence that they certify new mages into legal arcane practice, with a notable preference for mages taught in their academies.

The land of Ogomia is flowing hills, low mountains, and forests, only stopped by the savanna of Ata to the south. Roads are well kept, and a thousand unnamed villages answer to a Count, who answers to a Baron, who answers to a Lord, each who answers to the King and his Rhetoric Council.

Stories starting in Ogomia often focus on knighthood, both mundane and magical via the Order of Luminous Wrath. Other stories are those of adventurers making their way in a fantastical land of monsters and villages in need of protection. To the north, the Council of Bolnesland begins preparations for an army of Undead to destroy Ogomia, and stories in Ogomia will eventually need to content with that.
