Stelvan

Stelvan is the eastern kingdom in Telbirian.

History
Stelvan was formed by Faes and humans together. It shared its reverence of heretics with Helkvia. Magic was used to create the capital of Stelvance. A lack of food caused starvation in Stelvan and so it accepted alliance with The High Keep after battle. This caused turmoil between the humans and faes as they were now not accepted. After the Union War, the fairy Maleficent cursed Stelvance to sleep. The capital then moved to Ilmont.

Politics
The east is known as a peaceful kingdom. They do not posses strong military forces, and instead focus on commerce and farming. Their lands were very fertile, until the faes cursed them with drought after the war. Now their main focus is scholars. They house the best libraries in Telbirian, and have 3 universities. The state is made up of scholars, artists and the like.

Due to the academic nature of Stelvan, they are very closely linked to The High Keep and the political landscape.

Religion
Due to the close political alliance between Stelvan and the High Keep, religion is present in the east.

Magic
The east has a strong fear of magic due to its problems in the past. The land is cursed with no growth, and often they go through long periods of drought. The old capital remains cursed with sleep. Faes live in the northern forest, and it is feared by non-heretics.
