Tranavia

Tranavia (pronounced: Tra-NAH-vee-ya) is a country based on blood magic. It is at war with Kalyazin.

Description
Tranavia is a very wet country. It has large swaths of marshes. There are wooden boardwalks, built centuries ago, across the marshlands, otherwise it would be impossible to cross them. The marshlands are perpetually dark due to the thick foliage. Serefin sometimes feels that Tranavia is more water than land.

Tranavia's borders have never been breached by the war. Lieutenants and generals in the army are promoted based on magical power. The people speak Tranavian. It's capitol city is Grazyk.

Tranavia has many noble houses. They include House Lata, House Orzechowska, House Brzoska, and House Pacholska. The aristocracy of Tranavia are called slavkhi.

Like Kalyazin, Tranavia has many monstrous creatures. Some well known ones are the dziwonzona, or a marsh hag, the wolke, which is a creature who drags humans underneath the water to serve as his slaves. Another creature is the wolivnak, a wolf changer whose transformation is sparked by the cycles of the moon. They are known as zhir'oten in Kalyazin.
