Nippolia

The province Nippolia is directly aligned with the Twilight Spears, and stretches from coast to coast. In the north they share the same cold and harsh weather of Grauland, in the south the same heat and dry weather as Tulban. Though from north to south, Nippolia is partly covered by the everlasting dark clouds circling the Twilight mountains; many civilians who live in the border-cities have never seen sunlight before.
Just like Tulban has its expensive and broad architecture and Hellenia its delicious choice of food, the Nippolians have sombre efficient buildings and meals geared toward getting their protein and vitamins. No, where the Nippolians really excel is the art of war. Nowhere in Cy'Rell will you find such hard soldiers, perfect armor and weapons, such a balanced and deadly fighting style, or such brilliant strategists as in Nippolia. With the Twilight breed knocking on their doors, Nippolians are trained to be faster, stronger, smarter, and most of all deadlier than any soldiers in other provinces ever might achieve.
All kinds of Twilight breed have stood at least once before the gates of Nippolia
and all kinds have died at the gates of Nippolia. Every province in Cy'Rell send their sons and daughters to Nippolia to harden and to show their support for all the sacrifices Nippolia has given over the centuries.
Millennia of strategic and martial arts from all of Cy'Rell moulded and made to an awe inspiring sword and shield against the Twilight creatures. This makes the Nippolian army the biggest, most efficient, and most dangerous of all the continent. Because of the large abundance in different races and cultures, Nippolians don't possess recognizable features of skin or appearance. Many nephews and nieces don't even share the same skin colour. Thus Nippolians are only recognized by their armor, their haircut and slightly curved swords.
Next to the ever present Twilight Spears Nippolia has a very variable landscape, with the dark trails of the Grauenwalden trees in the north and the dry hot barrens in the south. Many of the agrarian supplies are from the more Mediterranean parts, mostly existing out of corn, rice, and potato farms. As one of the few provinces with mountains in their parts, Nippolia became the main supplier in metals for their own armories, also they sell loads of precious stones. Using the gold they earn to pay its constant warfare.
Now the mines are a sight on itself, they are mainly occupied by the Godian race, a race that differentiates itself from the humans by the fact that they are generally much smaller and slimmer. With their pointy noses and their own language they stand out from the rest of the Nippolian civilisation. In old history they used to be discriminated and have been used as slaves by the humans, though this is centuries ago. Nowadays Godians are just as praised for their jewellery as the Nippolian warriors are for their warfare.
