Five Things to Know About This Country:

  1. Obsessed with Death: Huge stone slabs with many names, memorials and great statues dominate the skylines. Livonia reveres its departed, and to speak ill of an ancestor is a grave insult.
  2. Militarised: The Livonian Sword Brothers, a Humacti Order of Knights dominates the country and helps rule, each major region is maintained by vast fortresses.
  3. Conquered Karelia: There was once a nation of Karelia, which, while not independent, is relatively peaceably integrated into Livonian society.
  4. Elemental Shamanism: The religion of Karelia is one of elemental shamanism, passed through traditions and retellings of generations.
  5. Permissive Theocracy: While the nation is ruled by the head of the Humacti Faith, and so undead are not tolerated, most other religious practices are permitted among those who do not seek higher positions.
