Vjalca

The republic of Vjalca (pronounced: VIA-lka) lies south of Faliaanti and west of Heikkon. Its government is entrusted to representatives of an established electorate who rule on the behalf of the electors. However, only landowners and certain classes have the right to vote. This structure of government is the result of a recent civil war that ensued between certain factions.

Before the civil war, Vjalca was a monarchy which greatly mistreated its subjects for generations. One of the uprising’s very important instigators was a Bronze Dragon named Namrotar who hated the state the country was in. The new flag of Vjalca has a bronze dragon in it as a token of appreciation for the dragon and all he had done in order to abolish the rotten monarchy. Namrotar however is less and less happy with how the state evolves as not everyone is allowed to vote, and civil and class unrest still exist in many forms. However, he recognises that it is a step forward and he would be more involved had the arguments with the government had not worn him off. The civil war and new formation of government in Vjalca took place after the neighboring Heikkon’s new king was crowned and thus no other country tried to take advantage of the civil war and invade.

The Vjalcan language that people speak is a mix of Old Vjalcan and draconic.
