Development of the City-StateFor as far back as our records go, the city-state (the kheion) has always been at the center of the Kheionai life. Many attempts to unify the region have happened in the past, but the deadly Kaydhano sandstorm would periodically kill those caught in its winds and destroy much infrastructure outside of the cities making effective communication impossible. As such we have learned to best utilize all the space we have available.

Scholar KingsIn the past, our nation was ruled by a series of ‘Scholar Kings', wise men who dedicated much of their lives in the pursuit of knowledge. Though long gone, the spirit of the scholar kings has remained within our people. In every field of research you are guaranteed to find a great number of Lokemeioni citizens, which in turn means that the state has a vast pool of talent to draw from when looking for new staff.

Children of the KheionaiExpansion outside of our walls was a strenuous task and our great cities eventually became overcrowded. Facing this, our predecessors turned to beyond the Cleaved Sea and there founded settlements that would not be touched by the storms. These nékheis - 'New Cities' - have proven extremely successful, and with them we have discovered that there are vast lands filled with riches simply waiting for us to exploit them.

Henceforth all citizens shall receive publicly funded education during their childhood.

Internal PeaceThe chaotic period of the Kheionai was known as the Leiónosi - the Isolation. Is one shrouded in mystery, for years the Kaydhano hit the Kheionai wards, and for years the kheions tore themselves from inside in civil war. All kheions but one that is.\n\nIn Lokemeion the first Scholar King, Finorius the Wise, came to power and promoted the ideal of internal peace, for if we were unable to find peace inside our walls, it stood to reason that we would be unable to keep the peace when we could finally go outside.

Secure the KheionaiIn 1651 the cities of the Kheionai put aside their differences and signed the "Edict of Protection", a series of trade laws that defended their lands from the siphoning influence of Cannorian merchants and trade companies.
