	This former part of the [[Miforan Empire]] is quite rich due to its geographical location. Being remarkable ship builders and having access to both the Tal river and the Sarodin Sea meant it quickly grew into the most important trade hub in the world.

	The real power in the country is held by the various guilds. There are guilds for most types of crafts and services. Letters patent (national laws) prohibit anyone from practicing these professions without guild membership. Some guilds are so in demand that any potential apprentice must buy their way into the guild, while others are always looking for more workers. Most guilds have five ranks: '''Apprentice, Journeyman, Artisan, Master, and Grand Master'''.		The real power in the country is held by the various guilds.

	'''Porridge is the common breakfast food''' of the country, in some parts of the country salt is added to it, in others, sugar or honey. Those who can afford it might add raisins or pieces of fruit. Ordinarily the porridge is made from a form of grain, buckwheat, or (pearled) barley, but using day old bread as the base is just as common.

	Guilds are usually organized by city, sometimes by region. Among the (grand)masters of the guild one 'boss' is elected to lead. '''All the bosses of a guild will then elect one of them to be the national 'top boss'''', also called the 'boss of bosses'. The '''guilds each appoint a delegate to sit on the Council of Torchbearers''', this is often the top boss but it doesn't have to be.		Guilds are usually organized by city, sometimes by region.
