Helsia

OVERVIEW:

Helsia was an island nation situated in the farthest reaches of north eastern area of eldham. Formally founded around 05/13/2021 by Django and Crimson, Helsia was a relatively new nation with plans of grandeur. Other than their founding myth, the origins of Helsia weren’t clear because written documents hadn’t been popularized until recently in Helsia.

HISTORY:

Django and Crimson initially had a chance meeting in a Rathnir TCG game and through a bit of talking their aligned goals emerged and they started to work on a nation together based around the thing that brought them together. Around 05/13/2021 the first city of Helsia, Osmere, was created. Since then Helsia has expanded into a giant island, of the coast of former elisian lands, which is their current base of operations.

CULTURE:

A major portion of Helsian culture is based around the people that live there. They are a highly militaristic nation solidified by their capital being a military fortification. They are a vigilant folk always looking for an opportunity to rise up on the global stage and make a name for themselves. Along with the militaristic side, they seem to have a strong bond between themselves which will quickly get a target objective done faster than normal.

RELIGION:

Helsia has religious freedom across all of its territories, though despite this not many people have taken to any particular religion. Despite their largely inactive religious side, they do seem to have an unnaturally strong addiction/love for cheese and cheese making, though there seem to be no formal rituals or ways to practice this “religion” other than consumption of cheese and the making of cheese.

GEOGRAPHY:

Being an island nation, Helsia has very little land to call it’s own. Regardless of this, Helsia is always looking for small islands to snatch up and expand into. They have taken full advantage of their surrounding terrain by building high walls and a great number of arrow slits they use to rain down on any intruders looking to invade their keep.
