Kingdom of Pveth

Overview
Pveth was once a divided nation that was led by five kings. One for each Pvethian region. They were known to outsiders as dangerous individuals and one renowned Ovesian Scholar once remarked "''The end of the world will begin when the Pvethians learn to fight alongside each other rather than against each other." '' Nearly a thousand years ago -- Pveth did unite and have been a powerful military force every sense.

Pvethians love war. There entire culture is based around it -- from their Religion to those they deem celebrities. While of course music and art are apart of Pvethian culture, it is shadowed by combative arts -- tournaments and duels that make up for most of the kingdoms entertainment.

Government
Pveth is a monarchy that practices primogeniture succession -- meaning that the eldest eligible child of the king inherits the throne. At this time in history, only females can inherit the throne when there is NO Eligible male heir.

The commoners of Pveth also currently hold no voice other than the elected leaders in cities and villages who convey their concerns upon the ruling nobility. While the king is the voice of law, there is the Council which serves as the kings top advisers in different fields.

The actual power of the Council is up for debate and seems to vary from king-to-king. Under some kings, the Council essentially ruled the kingdom. Under others they served no real purpose other than to offer the King what they thought and may or may not be heard.

Pvethian Culture
As stated briefly above -- the culture of Pveth is heavily ingrained in their military. Those that have proven their combative abilities are treated as celebrities and arts like music, paintings, and writings aren't necessarily shunned but do not hold them as high as other nations might.

Despite this, Pveth is a very educated nation. Requiring schooling for all those of minor ages and even holding Inkveil academy which is seen as the premier university for nobility in a multitude of nations.

Slavery serves as another large part of Pvethian culture -- most of its labor forces are composed of slavery and they have a nation that some may believe is too reliant on it.
