To the northern lands, a kingdom stands strong and proud. Its people live within the vast mountain ranges that cover the isles of the north, often nicknamed the City of Mountains, Enobora is home to many different types of life within its secluded walls of stone and sea. There is peace found here for those who travel, many who find the lands in the Mountains never truly leave its gentle embrace, and the people welcome all who come with open arms.
On the grassy planes, the agriculture community thrives with the crystal blue water, the mass droves of Sheep, Cows, and Chickens can be found scattered across the land. With wooden buildings mixed with stone plastered across the rivers, and most of all, the mountainsides. The lower one who goes into these lands will find a more barren aspect, while the life there grows it does not thrive as it does within the peaks of the mountains.
The population as well is a fine mixture of different species, though the most populated ones are Humans, Wolken [Sheepkin], Drakanites, and Sirens. The Human population leads at over 55%, whereas the Wolken comes close to 35%, the Drakanites with no more than 5% finally those who live in the lower planes the Sirens at a 5% population rate. These often fluctuate due to imports, and travelers however they remain within a 5% margin at any given time. Despite being different, there is rarely any racism found.. and if it is, swiftly is it dealt with by the heads of the cities.
In the deep lands of agriculture, the lands of Enobora are known for their large imports of Food and Livestock. Being anything from as simple as corn and wheat, to as special as the golden apples that grow within the highest peaks of the mountains. A rare import to be found and tightly secured to those of the Enobora people, it is possible to obtain such fruit upon formal dealings with the kingdom.
The land is ruled by a council, one from every species to speak for the people who live upon the land. Humans with the largest population are the heads of the council, ruling by decree and voting of the people.

Within the lands of Enobora a deep-rooted community can be found throughout the entire land. Through years of hardship, the people came together after the long-winded wars of the past, ones that the scars of the land can be found even today upon the planes. The people themselves are kind to outsiders, and none allow anyone within their community to go hungry, as long as someone lives within the scattered yet thriving mountain cities. They are never alone.
Yearly celebrations are deemed 'The Harvest' which allows those to show their thanks to their patrons of the land. In the hushed mountains, the winds speak of the thanks they give to their land. For there is something special within the culture of Enobora... what can be found is a small split of ideals among the people. They do not disagree but their outlook on life differs depending on which Path they take.
They are as stubborn as anyone can be, deeply rooted in their ideals and culture it is nigh impossible to remove it from anyone. Even those who are taken from their home do not ever truly leave it. So deeply ingrained into who they are and what they stand for, the lands of Enobora give thanks for their way of life, for the lands have given them much. To disrespect such a thing is seen as heretical.
As many cultures do, they too go against the Fel arts. Typically the Wolken have a vast hate for Demonic kind, but in some cases, they also take issue with certain types of Ookami. While it is not uncommon for the Wolken to insult Ookami, all of them if seen against a Demonic Wolf. Will ensure the threat is culled. Those who walk the path of Mortality take great pride in having the pelts of Wolfs. In Wolken-focused groups, their greatest of warriors wear a cloak made purely of the pelts of the arch enemy.

The Path of Permanence
One of the most common paths that one can take within the land of mountains. It is here that those who walk this path live a peaceful life, one focused on the well-being of others. Often those deeply rooted in the farming communities will follow this way of life, it is said that always if someone needs help of any kind. The Permanence will be there to help them in whatever it is they need. The greater aspect of mankind is to work as one towards a brighter future for the generations to come.

Those who walk this path do not typically partake in wars or conflict, but they will do all that they can to aid those who may be called to such things. The craft of Permanence is one of its stylizations. A blacksmith who walks this path will be known for the grand designs found on the armor or weapons themselves, those who may walk this path do not typically partake in wars... but they do aid their fellow brethren who do.
They see life as something to behold, to help grow into something more. To give to the next generations a greater life than they ever had, to build and harvest the lands around them with as much love as they can muster.
For all shall find peace through their craft.
The Path of Mortality
The second path. The darkened route that not all should follow, but some must. Where there is peace there too is the need for war, for the need of protection. It is said that those who walk this path focus on the defense of others, to ensure that their lands do not fall to the darkened embrace of other warring states that would wish to take their hard-earned land from them. These are often found within the more central cities within Enobora, Knights, Warriors, and Shepherds, are often the most common who take this path. It is said that they will defend their land until their dying breath and sometimes, even beyond.

Those who walk this path are called to war. For there is no greater honor in life than to embrace the ways of death. Through death is their life, through life is their death. They carry themselves with pride but also remain humble kind people, they never mistreat their enemies and will often at the end of battles come together to try and mend the wounded, and dying, and give them their last rites.
They do not see death as something to be afraid of, but as something to take celebration in. Giving back to the lands that raised them, to defend those that they love, there is no greater honor than that.
For all shall find peace through battle.
The Harvest
A grand celebration of the lands, it is here where the two paths meet as one. Their paths cross and their stories are told, typically a large feast is held with the celebration of the land itself. This is not typically a religious celebration but it can be one depending on the findings of the world. Sometimes it is used as a final send-off for those who must go to war and fight their battles away from the homeland.
It is here as well, where those coming of age are allowed to pick the Path they wish to walk. That of Permanence and Mortality once their choice is made is then given to the followers of such a path to guide their newest of the flock. This is a time for great happiness and celebration! The cities and communities come together to welcome a new cornerstone of life for their children, friends, and family.
This celebration is held typically once every four years. Though these can change due to the state of Enobora, times of War occur less often, and times of Peace occur more often. There's a total of four different harvests that happen throughout the changes of the seasons, though in truth the biggest change of it all is the food that is brought, as well as the lights that give thanks to the harvest itself.

An uncommon pair is found among the faithful in Enobora, that of Hope and that of Death.
Typically those of the lands follow the two gods, Pylae and Caius.
It is more common for the general population to be that of the faithful Pylae, but for the Wolken, not a single one follows another god other than Caius. It is said in legend that Caius himself as a gift to Mortyl took a single cloud, molding it into the shape of the very first Wolken. His messengers. Caius would send the Wolken to send messages of love directly to the Lady Death, for they were as light as a cloud, as joyful as anything, but proud to carry the messages of the Lord of Death to his beloved...
Through such stories do the Wolken of Enobora find pride in being the keepers of life and death. Stubborn to think otherwise that they are the messengers of the God of Death itself, but more than that they usher in the final rest of those who have fallen, dying, and the sickly. They will do their best in the name of their patron god to ensure they do not suffer. Some may look to darker paths, some may reject the idea of the way of death.
Yet no matter what, they follow their god of Love, Death, and Rest.
As for the more general population, it is given that Pylae brought the very first man upon the mountains, for it was his favored land to eat the sweet golden apples. To rest upon the clouds that touch against the mountains, but more than that. Pylae blessed the lands with a bountiful harvest to allow his new children to flock among the lands. Giving their harvest in his name, the golden apples also speak of a connection to the God of Hope. Thus is it guarded in the highest of mountains.
Celebrations of Pylae can be found throughout the cities, typically in the summer months when the apples are the sweetest is festive in his name. Alongside this sermons are often held as typical as they can be in the name of the Hopebringer. The dark arts of Witchcraft and Demonology are forbidden to be even set foot upon the lands of Enobora and will be met by the Zealots of Pylae.
Shepherds of Caius
The most popular faith of Caius found within Enobra, the head of the church is always a Wolken. To think otherwise would be nothing short of insulting the great messengers of death. Their faith is all about how Love and Death connect, how the faithful provide the messages to Lady Death herself in all that they do. Some take a more passive approach and give their lives to helping those around them, in the name of Love.
Those who are of the utmost faithful are those found who tend to the Graveyards and crypts, as well as giving funeral rights to those around the lands of Enobra. It is almost unheard of to not have one of the Shepherds of Caius see over the funeral of a loved one or a fallen member of the community.
Typically they wear the garbs of black cloth, as well as harboring a Crook as the symbol of their devotion to Caius.
The Hopebringers
This is the most popular of all the faiths within Enobora, found to give the ideals of Hope directly to all of humanity. No matter the cost it may bring to themselves. To be selfless is one of the core ideals, as well as to bring joy to others when possible. In the name of Pylae it is not unheard of them to go to distant lands to try and spread the word of their lord, yet they do it in a way that symbolizes their people above all else.
Typically those of this faith adorn a yellow coloration to their articles of clothing, to mimic the coloration of the wings of Pylae. This can range from simple farm gear to the high-standing garbs found upon the council, yet all have the same meaning and faith towards their chosen patron. Some even take the time to cover their face in a darkened hood so that their actions speak louder than words.
Those who have been blessed by the god himself, though rare, are seen in high standings of the Council and Religious faiths.
Often they are found giving coin, helping with farms, as well as aiding in battle when they are called upon. Their armor typically has golden colorations of wings that press against the backplate, White and Gold.
