Chemist Sodality The Chemist Sodality is a very important one, possibly more-so than even Artists. They are the ones that create the powders for our paints and dyes, the medicines Remnic is known for, and any other number of things. Almost every other sodality uses something that the Chemists created. They are also important in bringing in money for the kingdom. The cosmetics and medicines they make are sold throughout the other countries, and bring in a vast amount of money. The Chemists are notorious for injuries, though. Because they work around such dangerous chemicals and other things, it is quite easy to get hurt. Fortunately, their sodality is also in charge of the doctors and healers of the kingdom, so there are always a few on hand. The chemists are also sometimes called Alchemists, for they use both natural means and magic to create magnificent things from minor ingredients.

Sericulturist Sodality One of the major draws for Remnic trade is the silk we produce. We are the only country who knows the art of harvesting silk, so the Sericultuists bring in good deal of money as well. They raise the silk worms, harvest the threads, weave the silk, and make the products of the silk. It is possibly the most care-intensive sodality, for, even with the aid of magic, it takes steady hands and a keen eye for detail. Silk is what the Remnicians wear (when humans), so even in the country it is highly sought after. It is an exotic good outside of Remnic, and is rather coveted. A large variety of designs are available, as well as all the colors of the rainbow, though this all comes from dying. The dying is often done by the artists, or even civilians sometimes, but the most basic dyes are applied by the sericulturists.

Lapidarist Sodality The Lapidarist Sodality is a fine one, though a bit smaller than most of the others. While the name suggests they only cut stone, they are actually experts in all things rock. While they do cut stone, they also look into the types of rocks, how to identify them, and how to utilize them. They also study the earth, such as earthquakes, erosion, and other things. It may not seem like a terribly interesting sodality to be part of, but those who are in it take it very seriously, and love what they do. It also has the perk of having access to some of the finest gems before they're sold to merchants.

Historian Sodality The Historian Sodality is pretty straight forward. They run the libraries in the kingdom, and work to preserve historical things as well as document history. They work mostly with books of course, though other things are just as important. They also preserve historical things around the cities, such as old buildings or statues. Mostly, though, they work on printing and preserving books that are important, like old stories, records of the past, and so forth. It is a medium sized sodality, but brings in little to no money due to the fact that most of their work ends up in libraries. However, because Remnic values their history, they are quite important in all eyes, even if they don't seem like.

Astronomer Sodality The Astronomers are a well loved sodality, though they tend to think highly of themselves in a lot of cases. They chart the skies and the movement of the stars, giving names to things in the heavens. They do have a certain amount of power, though. The Remnicians often look to the Astronomers to tell them what the omens from the skies are telling them. Quite often they have the power to halt ceremonies and celebrations simply by stating the omens are against it. They read the skies as one might a map. When certain stars or planets are in certain spots, it can lead to either a good or a bad omen. It really has nothing to do with belief, it simply means that all elements are against or for something. Astronomy is rather precise occupation, so only the best rise to high ranks.

Sorcery Sodality Possibly one of the largest and most respected sodalities is the Sorcery Sodality. It is the sodality that teaches the practice of magic. Of the four kingdoms, Remnic is probably the one that has the highest concentration of sorcerers. They teach such a wide range of things that almost anyone who has even a slight talent for magic can be taken in. This sodality produces quite a lot of dragons who are skilled in magic, often sending them off to cities to teach it. Others produce magical objects, such as mirrors for scrying, to channel magic. Secretly, some have attempted to make an artifact as strong as the one New Strinston used against them all those years ago, but so far they've been unsuccessful...

Unusual Magic Sodality This sodality is an odd one, more of a branch from the Sorcerers, and yet one in their own. They do not so much as teach magic as cultivate unusual inborn talents. For example, one might have a healing talent, which is something that cannot be taught. They would be taken into the Unusual Magic Sodality, and their talent enhanced through specific training. Sometimes they get very odd talents, though, which is where the 'Unusual' part of their name comes from.

Government The government in Remnic is very different from its neighboring country, though is slightly similar to that in New Strinston. There is a ruler, always a King, but, surprisingly, his post is more ceremonial than anything. He does have power over things that could drastically change his country, but most things are resolved by his Speaker and the Primes. The King's wife is not the Queen, and has almost no power. Always the King's eldest son will be his heir - if he fails to produce a son, then his closest male relative will succeed him. The real power lies with the Speaker of Remnic. This is a dragon who is elected by the Primes from their own ranks. He holds office for five years, and then is up for an evaluation. If the Primes feel he is still doing a good job, he will keep his post for another five years. If not, he is replaced. He can be replaced before those five years are up, but it takes serious unrest for this to happen. The Speaker makes most of the decisions for the kingdom, though anything big he must consult the King. The Primes are a collection of the three highest ranking members of each major sodality. The Primes are also elected by their sodalities to represent them. They vote on matters and consult the Speaker on matters. Almost every decision is voted upon by the Primes. Primes hold their positions for life usually, unless their sodalities feel they are no longer able to do their job. They may also retire by their own will. Three posts remain in the government - the Speaker's Eye, Claw, and Fire. They are chosen by the Speaker himself/herself, and answer to the Speaker alone, unless they have broken the law and must be tried. They are outside of the reach of the Primes, and only the King can question their right to do certain things. In a way they are ranks even higher than the Speaker, but they have their limits. Much of what they do is kept secret, with the exception of the Speaker's Claw. The Speaker's Claw deals with trade with foreigners, as well as anything else to do with the other countries. In a way this post is almost like an ambassador, but instead of being posted in the other countries, he remains in Remnic. The Speaker's Fire deals with the military. Most often he/she is chosen from the high ranks of the military itself, or perhaps a retired soldier. They are basically the top military commander. The Speaker's Eye, my post, is the most secretive. Very few people know exactly what it is that I do, other than watch for traitors and make sure the staff are doing what they should. You should already know all of this from the section above, so I won't go into too much depth. In a way, our government is both tedious and fair. It assures that no decision is made without first being debated, and that most everyone can get a comment in.

Geography Remnic is a relatively small country - smaller than the other three, at least. Its terrain is rather rocky, with open plains and grasslands. Mountains wrap around almost all of the country, with the exception of the north. There is a small gap on the border with Holder Bay, and that is where all of the trade goes through. There is also a bit of land to the very east, but this is cut off almost completely by these mountains. In the shadow on the east side of these mountains, also backed up to the southern mountains as well, is the capital city of Urnacia. It is a large city with cobbled streets, tall buildings, and three districts. In the center of the city is the Sky Spires, the 'castle' of sorts where the Primes, the King and his family, and countless help live. It isn't so much as a castle so much as a collection of buildings. There are wide buildings down at the base of each spire, but the actual spires are the ones you usually see. They are incredibly tall, no doubt created by magic, reaching up to the skies, thus their name. Surrounding this entire complex is a stone wall, and the grounds inside are lush and green. Beneath the city there are many tunnels, though some of them are sewers. In times gone, the founders forced a river underground to carry the sewage of the city away. Tunnels and passageways branch off from the sewers, though, almost creating an uninhabited city beneath Urnacia. There are mountains almost barring Remnic from Holder Bay, but fortunately there is a narrow canyon/pass. There is a large town here, and is possibly the only town that openly embraces Holder Bay. This city is where all the trade must go through.
