Chaln-Ane

Chaln-Ane is a country in Khaen-Maal

Chaln-Ane is a county on the continent of Khaen-Maal. The origins of the mercantile land are unknown however legends state it was founded over one thousand years ago by a man referred to as the Fangorn of Aridia. All actual accounts were destroyed in the great fires when Gromdarr invaded and burned down all schools and libraries in roughly 64 PAE (Pre-Angrarian Era). Chaln-Ane despises Gromdarr greatly but reluctantly allies with the militaristic land for protection and for the friendship of Enochria and Aridia.The country trades with nearly every other country with the exception of West-Alrndir, and the countries at war in Saerodin. They are a very pious people, with many temples throughout the land, usually more than one in each city. There is much commerce with many markets in each city as well, as well as markets within the temples and on roads. The flag is representative of the wealth of the country.

Chaln-Ane is ruled from the capitol city of Sa’Pone in the center of the country. The government of Chaln-Ane is run by a Grand Emperor and the ruling is hereditary. Under the Grand Emperor there is a council of Generals and Strategists who plan out what the nation should do. Chaln-Ane is known for the great merchants who travel the world from Chaln-Ane and return with bountiful wealth. Chaln-Ane is one of the richest countries due to this fact.

Chaln-Ane’s greatest leader was Grand Emperor is Yeng Kor II but died near the end of year 276 due to a great ailment. His son Yeng Kor III inherited the throne. Sa’Pone rules with many taxes over the several cities and settlements across the land, placing garrisons of Royal Guard in each city in order to ‘keep peace.’ However, most Royal Guard end up abusing the citizens resulting in a very rich capitol and several rather poor settlements and cities.

Since ancient times, Chalnese culture has been heavily influenced by conservative philosophies. For much of the country's poetic era, Chaln-Ane had much literary emphasis such as the belief that calligraphy, poetry and painting were higher forms of art than dancing or drama. Chalnese culture has long emphasized a sense of deep history and a largely inward-looking national perspective. In the current era, the culture of Chaln-Ane is highly reminiscent of their heritage such as keeping with the tradition of emperors, though they now place more emphasis on trade and mercantilism than in the arts.
