Kingdom of Mandura

The Kingdom of Mandura is a kingdom situated between the Kingdom of Montevont and the Kingdom of Renia, stretching from the Silent Sea to the Great Tomb Sea. The kingdom originated from the Qamian seafarers of, who conquered and invaded the land in the early Black Age, pushing out or assimilating the natives. However, the kingdom would later come under the dominion of the Shining Empire. Twenty years ago, with the help of goblin benefactors, the Mandurans staged a rebellion against the Lenrosians. They were able to win their independence, although resentment of the Shining Empire is still very alive.

People and Culture
The Mandurans, being seafarers from Qamin, have a starkly different view on many subjects than the rest of Oseros. They are nicknamed the "land of love" for their tendency to rarely arrange marriages among all classes, believing more in true affection. Even marriages between nobles and commoners are not looked down upon. This is a mostly alien concept to the other nobilities of Oseros.

Despite being an Anchorite Triune nation, the Mandurans are highly liberal when regarding bastards or homosexuality, which are deemed sinful in other parts.

Their architectural style is also distinct from their neighbors, borrowing from the architecture of Qamin. Another part of the Manduran culture is their tendency for the nobility to wear masks in formal dress. To the Mandurans, mask are as much of a part of formal garb as cloaks or other accessories are to other Oserans. This is derived from the culture of their homeland in where mask wearing is also still prevalent.

The Mandurans are mostly brown or olive skinned, as are most people in Qamin, as opposed to their neighboring nations who are predominantly light skinned.

Government
Mandura is a monarchy ruled by the Scorpio, which is equivalent to a King in Oseros. Although the monarchs do wear Sovereign Seals, as adopted by their neighbors, the Scorpio too wears the Crown Mask almost entirely. The Scorpio are often referred to as the "Scorpion Kings of Mandura." by foreigners.

Lands
Much of Mandura is covered in great bramblewood forests begin to sprawl, such as the ones common in Renia. However, Mandura is not nearly as dry as Renia. It's brambles are differing from those seen in Renia with it's own set of vegetation, due to the more temperate climate.
