Peoples: Verrelinor

Verrelinor is the other major civilization of Jindarian humans. They occupy the southern half of the continent that they share with their powerful neighbours, the Chazzans.
The Verrelinorians are a diverse people due to their large geographic range. From the pink skinned Northerners to the black skinned Southerners, they fill the spectrum of human diversity physically as well as culturally.
Verrelinor is not a single nation but a federation of independent city states all with their own unique culture, like the ancient Greeks. The major difference is the states of Verrelinor are far larger and closer to their neighbours, never having war.
The folks of Northern Verrelinor are the most like medieval Europe, specifically, Germany. They have knights in full armor on horseback and live in a feudal system of government with their own royal families and monarchies. The Verrelinorians from the south are more like medieval Palestine and India. They have sultans and they look like the Saladin's warriors. There are also some Zulu-like city states that live in the desert regions of Verrelinor. One in particular worships elephants and it has special canals running through the city where the migrating herds can pass through.
Verrelinor was populated in ancient days by migrating hordes of people forced out of their lands by the Chazzan Empire. These people briefly warred with the natives but harteds were cast aside when they realized that their very existance was threatened by the Chazzans, so they banded together to form a military alliance which provded the nucleus to the vast federation that is modern Verrelinor. Since they had to fight against the greedy Chazzans for so long, Verrelinor's greatest enemy became the source of its greatest strength: unity.
The Verrelinorian populace is too diverse to characterize by one example. The dark, burly Godellians value strength and workmanship while the pale and shadowy Sifish are master businessmen who value cunning and stealth. Because of their violent history together, Verrelinorians hate Chazzans (the feeling is mutual). They consider them arrogant and violent. Northerners tend to hate the Chazzans the most since their nations were always in the warpath of the various Chazzan imperators that they have endured over the centuries. By the time the books have started though, the hatred has died down a lot (mostly because the Chazzan Empire no longer exists). What tension does exist is what helps destabalize the alliance the Verrelinorians entered alongside the Chazzans in the series. This alliance is known as The Legions of Jindaria and it was formulated to combat a far deadlier empire: the Demon Empire.
There is no official flag for Verrelinor. Each city state has its own flag. It is said that the flag for all of Verrelinor is all the city state flags flying together.
