Overview
Somewhere in the large sea sits an island amassed with food and animals. There, a kingdom was founded of amphibious men and women, those of which not wanting to stand besides the dragonfolk. This kingdom would be known as Arora, their first leader being an amphibian man who had helped create an enchanted necklace that would make anyone the strongest of their kind, even being able to control water. This necklace would go inside of the wearer becoming one with the owner until they died, only then appearing back onto their neck. Anyone with the necklace was prophesized as a God, being their first leader reincarnated.
Lore
The kingdom of Arora was created to side step the rules of other kingdoms. Here you aren't just born into a class and stuck there for the rest of your life. Once born in Arora it's as though you're rich, given plentiful amounts of food which some other kingdoms would prove scarce. The creator of Arora wanted a place where his people could be free without being of slave class. Though some may be laborers they get more food than those who do not work as intensely. Soldiers here are taught discipline through starving while to extreme exercises and using a sword. The creator of the kingdom first wanted nothing to do with other kingdoms, however their lack of metals and so on made it hard. Without metals they'd only have armor made of leather and weapons made from sticks and stones, which some do to this day. This is relatively a weaker kingdom, however everyone born here has at least had a month of training with swords and spears, to make up for their lack of materials for the weaponry. Many of their homes are made from wood. Replanting a tree everytime they cut one down to prevent deforestation.
Population
Arora has had a large amount of Elven-folk come to live with them since the creation of the kingdom, both being seen almost as equals to one another. Of course there were more amphibious folk than on.
To be exact, there are 19,571 people living here.
Hierarchy
PA king is chosen, not through bloodline, but intelligence. Those being related to the kings before are treated as nobles. A new king is made through testing those who wish to run for it, however to run for king you must be born in the kingdom. The civilians of which wanted to be king will take tests on whether they can read, write, do simple mathematics, solve economical issues, and what they'd do as their king during a potential war. The choice of getting to be king is given to by the oldest family member of the last king that isn't participating in the tests. If there is no family member of the old king that abides there will be eight amphibian-men, one elf, and one person of a random race that's in the minority to vote on which of the potential kings they want that has passed the tests. Being the reason for an elf and another minority judge being there is to make sure to speak up for their races. A king needs eight or more approvals from the randomly selected judges.
Materials
Arora is known for its food and thread production. With the large population of sheep, wool is the easiest material for clothing to get there. They trade thread to Lyladon for more money to improve their economy.
Religion
Religion in Arora is a sensitive topic. The biggest religion here is called Lagua, known to spread the good word of Mwura. The people of the church are to donate to the poor at least once a month to make sure to help people they can and give them at least basic living conditions.
