Pyrulea

The Kingdom of Pyrulea is the second-largest country in Aeoren, second only to the Scorian Empire. It is known for its strong focus on magical excellence, as well as being the host of the College Arcane.

Government
The Kingdom of Pyrulea is a magocracy in which those who have magical abilities have power. All aristocratic families, including the royal line, are composed almost entirely of magic users. Anyone born to a noble family without magical talent is shunned and ignored by their family. King Albus the White is the current king of Pyrulea, and has near-total control of the country. He takes counsel from the College Arcane, but he is ultimately the leader. The aristocracy of Pyrulea have no choice but to follow his lead.

Culture
Magic finds its way into all facets of Pyrulean life. Brewers use alchemy to come up with more potent and exotic-tasting drinks, painters weave illusions into their canvases, Bakers cast simple transmutations as they bake their loaves. Many people in Pyrulea posses some small level of magical talent. In the lower classes, the commoners host harvest festivals and town gatherings, with a few weak spells to enhance the festivities. The aristocracy host grand galas and balls, where it is not uncommon to see somebody dressed entirely in illusions.

Relations with other countries
Pyrulea largely keeps good relations with other countries. It maintains cordial relations with Praile and Azeren. It's relationship with Tulak is a bit strained, due to the constant raiding and inner conflicts that often seep into Pyrulea. Pyrulea is on very good terms with the Sultan's League, and engages in frequent and lucrative trade. Pyruleas and the Scorian Empire, however, are currently at war, and have been for half a century. The Scorian Empire's expansionist tendencies have pushed it into war with Pyrulea, finding nowhere else to expand out to. The border between Pyrulea and the Scorian Empire is highly contested, and is subject to constant change as the war drags on.
