The people are called the Varindh. Hunan will be a Denghuan Province instead.The ProtectoratesThe Coalition of Selanese Protectorates is a loose confederation of minor states that have banded together in protection from the Naga, and from their northern neighbours, the Deng Hua. They have roughly equivalent laws and customs, each protectorate governed by its own constitution, bound in a mutual agreement of protection and cooperation.There are presently 6 states belonging to the coalition, with one Varindh state desiring addition to the Coalition. In addition, Selan Udar Satvinder is presently undertaking the colonisation of the Talons of Garuda, an archipelago to the south of that protectorate.Selan Jalaja and Selan Dharmesh have officially converted to the Asturian religion, while the others have converted to a lesser degree. Those in Selan Haima have greater leanings toward the Denghuan religion (the Tao).Selan Udar SatvinderBordering Varindhra, this Protectorate sees much travel between the two realms. Besides trouble from Naga, they often clash with the “barbarian” isles to the South. Many proud warriors come from this member of the Coalition, and many are able sailors.-Regional Skills: Craft (Ship making), Intimidate, Knowledge (Naga Lore, Satvinder Local, Spirit Lore, Talons Local), Profession (Fisher, Sailor, Soldier), Swim.-Regional Feats: Naga Blooded, Resist Taint, Satvinder Corsair, Satvinder Militiaman, Satvinder Naga Hunter.Selan Dharmesh The “Capital” of the protectorates, and who first proposed the Coalition. It maintains the most powerful army amongst the protectorates, and was once the centre of an old empire. It has the largest amount of arable land, and is largely forested and flat. They are reknown for breeding excellent horses.-Regional Skills: Craft (Bow making, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Cobbling, Weapon smithing) Handle Animal, Knowledge (Dharmesh Local, History, Nobility and Royalty), Profession (Farmer, Herder, Rancher, Soldier, Stable hand, Tanner), Ride.-Regional Feats: Born in the Saddle, Dharmesh Imperial Guard, Horselore.Selan HaimaThese mountainous lands border on Deng hua, but are almost impossible to pass. Haima are proud individualists and take pride in their own before that of others. Tributes to the northern Empire are paid here, as most Deng are not permitted any further into the Coalition without special permit. The Haima have a strong military force largely used to control the passes and monitor travel within the Protectorate. With their excellent access to ore, the realm is known for their excellent metalwork and mining skills.-Regional Skills: Climb, Craft (Armour smithing, Bow making, Weapon smithing), Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering, Haima Local, History), Perform (Percussion, Weapon Drill), Profession (Guide, Miner, Soldier)-Regional Feats: Discipline, Haima Defender, Soul of the Mountain, Strong Soul, Haima War Smith.Selan JalajaProsperous City State based around the River Ganah, with near exclusive trade with both the Sea Traders and the Asturians. Particularly around the capital, Jalajans exhibit a worldly cosmopolitanism, and baroque style. While well forested, much of the land here is marshland and prone to flooding. It is said that you can buy anything, or anyone in Selan Jalaja.-Regional Skills: Appraise, Craft (Basket weaving, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Gem Cutting, Leather Working, Painting, Pottery, Sculpting, Ship making, Weaving), Knowledge (Asturian Religion, Jalaja Local), Profession (Brewer, Boater, Cook, Fisher, Sailor), Swim-Regional Feats: Cosmopolitan, Mercantile Background, Tongue of the Naga.Selan Suparna SiddheshNorth of Selan Dharmesh, the land shares its border with the southern provinces of Deng Hua. There are many relics and old temples to the Garuda here. Asturism has not spread here yet, but there have been many converts to the Taoism from Deng hua. Its Capital is largely closed to those from outside the Protectorate, with large “Foreign Quarters” put aside for such. It is said that many spirits watch over this realm.-Regional Skills: Concentration, Craft (Calligraphy), Knowledge (Geomancy, Siddhesh Local, Spirit Lore, Tao Religion), Perform (Oratory, Sing), Profession (Minister).-Regional Feats: Discipline, Mind over Body, Withstand.Selan ChiteshCity-state reknown for its libraries and places for scholarly study. It is known for its restrictive laws and strict control of its citizens and travellers alike. It is largely mountainous and is in the west of the Coalition. Limited trade occurs with the Asturians here in its coastal towns.-Regional Skills: Craft (Calligraphy, Painting, Stonemasonry), Decipher Script, Knowledge (Arcana, Architecture and Engineering, Chitesh Local, Geography, History, Nobility and Royalty, Spirit Lore), Profession (Book keeper, Lawyer, Scribe)-Regional Feats: Chitesh Inquisitor, Great Intellect, Soul of the Mountain, Well Read.</blockquote>
