Norad is country that Selphia resides in. Ruled by a royal family of humans, the country welcomes all races within its borders. This thread covers some information about other parts of Norad.
Norad at a glance
The country holds a rustic, medieval Europe style to it. It has four even seasons, biomes ranging from desert to snow capped mountains and the green forests between, and a variety of normal and monster creatures that are wild or domestic.
The technology level can be a bit of a weird mix - there is electricity, lights, refrigerators, but nothing like TV, cars, or even farm machines like tractors. There is some 'magitek' of sorts, the most major one being the great airships that move people and goods from town to town.

religion
There is very little in the way of organised religion within Norad. Areas have shrines and a custom or two related to their guardian Divine Dragon. The entire country follows the tradition of marriage ceremonies announcing their union to the Divine Dragon. Prays and offerings may be given to ask for the help of a Divine Dragon as well.
The Harvest Goddess is another figure the worship and prays may be directed to, especially for the more rune sensitive. She has become a symbol of sorts to direct all thanks and offerings to the earth and Forest of Beginnings to.
Norad does not have any clergy or form of organised religion. There are a variety of ways people show their thanks to the land and deity figures. The royal family allows freedom of worship - as long as it isn't sacrificing living beings.

combat
The main force in Norad are sword and shield knights. Combat in general is a metal and melee affair, with some magic thrown into the mix.
Ranged weapons such as bows are rarely used due to the ineffective nature of having to make such every arrow is properly made and enchanted with tamitaya. Slings are the only ranged weapon used, and are never used to kill. Those who wish to participate in combat from a range learn magic.

seasons and weather
Norad experiences four full, even timed seasons. Farmers can easily set up and care for crops that thrive in each season due to how consistent they are.
The majority of the country receives snow in Winter. Summer is the wet seasons, with typhoons not being a surprise. Most of the trees are deciduous, making Autumn a colourful time.
