 years to reunite under a new vision. If the hands of the gods could

+that would give them power and safety.\\
+It was magic, after all, and the superstitions
+and archaic beliefs that were its trappings, that
+had held back the people of Danor from their po-
+tential. Jierre understood that they had a unique
+opportunity. No foreign nations would bother a
+land without magic, so the new Danor needed not
+to worry about invasion. It would decide its own
+fate, and as long as all were devoted to the ideal of
+progress, Danor would one day be the strongest na-
+tion in the world. Finally, after centuries of insular
+work and struggle to build a new society, Danor
+has begun to claim its place in the world.
+===== The House of Jierre =====
+Common belief attests that Srasama cursed the
+leaders of the Clergy with infernal horns and jagged tails, sacrificing half her mortal followers in a
+Great Malice when she realized she could not defeat
+the armies arrayed against her. When Jierre united
+Danor’s factions, almost all those so accursed joined
+him, adopting the moniker “tiefling” as a badge of
+rebellion. Some became decisive merchant leaders,
+while others took a role in government.\\
+Jierre, for his part, refused to be crowned king,
+and for his remaining years he served as part of a
+congress of peers. In the centuries since his death,
+though, his family — tieflings all — has proven a
+source of many great statesmen, scholars, and
+inventors. Though officially Danor has only a Congress and a Sovereign who is elected every decade,
+the House of Jierre is effectively Danor’s royal family. Where they point, most follow.\\
+The Sovereign today is Han Jierre, former president of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious
+academy of war, the Jierre Sciens d’Arms. Various
+relatives and in-laws hold many positions in the
+government and military. A few have even traveled
+abroad to study magic and apply Danoran principles
+of science to explain how it works, rather than
+relying on traditional beliefs. So far, detailed theories have eluded them, as if magic itself refuses to let
+itself be understood.\\
+Without a doubt, the House of Jierre rules Danor, but their prominence has not gone uncontested.
+Periods of riots and protests have plagued the nation, especially in the early days of its industrial
+revolution, though it certainly helped that, in a
+realm where few have ever even seen magic, any
+tiefling can still rebuke a person who attacks him
+by engulfing him in infernal flame.
+===== Cities and Industry =====
+Danor’s historical capital of Methia lies abandoned.
+Though Danorans reject superstition, even they
+cannot help but feel uneasy in these ruins. Noth-
+ing grows there, wild animals stay out, and even
+in the height of summer a chill breeze blows under
+overcast skies.\\
+The modern capital of Cherage, though, is a bus-
+tling center of business and trade. Two centuries of
+practice at industry has moved the pollution-cough-
+ing factories and poverty-riddled worker villages
+outside the city, where deep canals provide the wa-
+ter for mills. After the city was attacked in the
+Third Yerasol War, the Danoran navy constructed
+landfill islands off the shore to place massive artil-
+lery batteries and look-out stations.\\
+Trains powered by steam crisscross the nation, and the great Avery Coast Railroad runs
+from mountainous Beaumont on the west coast,
+through Cherage, and on eastward to Drakr, passing through Crisillyir, before finally ending three
+thousand miles away just across a channel from
+Elfaivar. Warships armored with iron churn along
+the nation’s coast and among the islands it holds
+in the Yerasol Archipelago, protecting shipments
+of food that feed Danor’s burgeoning population of
+industrial workers.
