They sit in the cradle of civilization and despite many setbacks still compose a large portion of Home's population.<br /><br />Historically, the WHC has been in the unenviable position of being the place other people kill each other over. The Cataclysm has given them some breathing room and a chance to stand up for themselves. Conservative, paranoid, but much more peaceful than its neighbors.<br /><br />The EVP is a young polity, the result of settling other lowland areas cut off from the large Eyeward area that is the cradle of the People's civilization brought about by the development of pressure suits almost 200 years ago. Sat out the cataclysm and grew strong as a result. Practice slavery and involuntary human sacrifice. Major ideological and theological disagreements with the SBP and GRP and grievances with those polities due to historic ethnic persecution in the Early Modern Period.<br /><br />The SA is another lowland 'island' polity settled very recently. It has close cultural ties with groups in the disputed frontier between the SBP, GRP, and WHC. The site of a new and explosively growing religious movement. Unpopular with all of the other polities but tolerated by the WHC.Hail Santahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041007995722837804noreply@blogger.com
