Eschar

Free City of Eschar
The small town of Eschar was founded by players Mongke_Khan254 and Radeye located in an abandoned castle town. Eschar is located in Niedea between two neighbors of Lyras Soleri and Umiho. The government of Eschar is that of a monarchy with a meritocratically appointed council.

Culture
The Escharid culture is a blend of Old Escharian and Galadonian, with religious influences and beliefs from both. The Escharid at first were nearly all former Galadonians after the destruction of the capital city of Lagos, using Galadonian shields and clothing. This practice slowly began dying out as Galadonian shields were lost and native Niedean began to join. Honor, bravery, and skilled craftmanship are all highly valued in Eschar. An important aspect of Escharid culture is that of guest right, where guests must be protected and provided for. It is customary, though not required to send a guest away with food and drink of the best quality.

Religion
Escharid religion is based on the mix of sun worship and Galadonian Renorition with aspects of the old Escharian pantheon. While at first based upon Galadonian Renorition and pre-ascension Soleannen, the religion took its own path mixing and changing with others to create something new.
