old sharlayan
Cultural HistoryThe nation of Sharlayan was formed after the Sixth Umbral Calamity by its founder Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn. After seeing the horrors brought by the War of Magi, this nation followed its founder's beliefs and became was one of peace, renouncing all war as barbarism and embracing the pursuit of knowledge and secrets of the Star. Unlike the other nations, Sharlayan is a democracy, led by a government of the people, for the people. There is no one leader, but a Forum that makes the policies and laws. And as for their religion, since the city is the one that embraces knowledge, the deity Thaliak was chosen as their Patron. Forever does he he stand over the harbor of their city. However, the choice had less to do with pious worship than the creeds of the Sharlayans. If you are of the curious, scholarly type, then Old Sharlayan is a place to visit!

Food & DiningTo be honest...Sharlayan is not known for its culinary cuisine. It's more of a lack thereof. Being a nation of scholars, they are obsessed in furthering research and hounding for scrapes of knowledge to better understand our Star. This unfortunately what led to the creation of the infamous Archon loaf that would grant one the nutrition they needed, but without the hassel or time to cool. Fortunately there is a place where one can get delicious food! The Last Stand! We can honestly say we understand why it has that name now...cause it's the only saving grace for one's tastebuds...
