Bastia is currently Under Construction.
The god of beauty, Hurte, is said to patronize the Kingdom of Bastia, and it is widely believed - for good reason. Bastia is a haven of art and intellect, with cities noted for their aesthetic design and impeccable upkeep. Florne, the capital city, is well-known for its stunning waterways, zoos and menageries, flower beds and butterfly gardens. It is a top travel destination for most of Anaxas and the surrounding countries. Many poems and songs are written in tribute to the kingdom, fondly remembering its beauty.
Religion
Bastia is religious in a way similar to Anaxas - with a great show of loyalty and adoration to the gods. The elegant temples outnumber the banks and marketplaces in Florne. The human population of Bastia generally pays tribute to the gods in the privacy of their own homes, but for galdori, the temple is an excellent place to see and be seen.
Death is handled by the Cadus Barr, the Gravekeepers, who inter bodies in phasmonias.
Society
The society of Bastia is almost entirely upper-class, as their economy is uniquely prosperous (they export most of their fuel to the mining kingdom of Hesse). The kingdom has been compared to Anaxas; the two kingdoms both have a wealthy upper class of galdori, similar cultures with a focus on intellectualism and discovery, and a similar taste for arts and leisure. In fact, the people of Bastia are mostly descendants of immigrants from Anaxas, and share many of their physical traits, though their accents differ considerably. (The Bastian accent is more flourished and pronounced.)
