Ashburn
From Fantasy Novel
Template:Infobox Realm This realm is Sparta - make it the mountain realm. Children when born - if sickly, deformed or anything less than strong, powerful, large, etc... it is cast into the sea, or left on the mountain - in other words left to die, deemed worthless, unworthy of becoming a warrior. The entire society is driven by war - raised by age 8, through their entire lives as warriors. Goes through trials (the wolf)... fight daily... many die along the way. Adorned in crimson and either gold or silver helmets. When sent off at age 8, they would be sent off barefoot, on their own, living off the land (or die). They were taught art, music, mathematics, literature... believing that truly great warriors must know these things. Indeed, many things are key to their warrior spirit - they are taught debate, and especially wit and cleverness, and so they have a wry brashness, sarcasm etc - they enjoy coming up with one liners and embarrassing their opponents with clever retorts. They intimidated their war opponents with something unique - they chant, sing, play music and howl, "Hoo... Hoo... Hoo" of the Spartans in 300 - everything they do is in synch. Their training has created a single body of massive cohesion... everything is as one, there is no individual movement. Everything is as one. Have some sort of mechanism where performance in trials, fights, whatever... would lead to military leadership... and the King perhaps is the one left at the end of some massive trial where all die but him, proving his strength and power as the most powerful warrior, thus proving his worth as a King - this produces unquestioned loyalty to the King. Women of this realm are extremely potent/powerful, EXTREMELY beautiful because they are fit, exercise, etc. The Queen is a masterfully intelligent, powerful, cunning and can fight. She can snarl and mercilessly get what she wants. She is a warrior queen, not to be crossed.
