The Nha Nuhoanha TempleChien Binhrung's most important temple, named Nha Nuhoanha, contains gem-petrified statues of every queen who ruled the kingdom, up until the first queen who formed the nation. This tradition started after the first queen, at the end of the unification of Chien Binhrung, was cursed by the sorceress of a conquered village. The first queen became petrified after a dispute with the sorceress, and since then the queens of Chien Binhrung queens have voluntarily frozen themselves after death as a way to keep their spirit tethered to the world.\n\nDue to the temple's nature as a mysterious domain of the high gods, it is said every new queen who visits and conducts a special ceremony can gain advice from the wisdom of her ancestors' ghosts. The people believe that one day the queens will be resurrected when the nation is in dire need, and that a queen's rule is only validated after their death and petrification.

Unify the PeninsulaThe Binhrung people originated deep within the Lupulan Rainforest, where they were forcefully exiled after a coalition of tribes defeated the group. The remaining Binhrung tribe, mostly filled with women, wound up traveling north and unifying the small mountain villages on Thidinkai's coast. Chien Binhrung is a product of these two cultures becoming one, and due to this Chien Binhrung believes only they can unify the peninsula.

The Sleepless SeasonDuring Jaerel's attempts to stomp out rebellions, many of the Halessi nations allied with each other to permanently remove the sun elves from the continent. While the queen took her army to fight allies of the Phoenix Empire near the Thidinkai region, merchants and nobles of the court who were always at odds ended up in a civil war, during which they hired hundreds of assassins to kill their rivals.\n\nAfter Jaerel's death, the queen's return put an immediate stop to this chaos, and the assassins who were without contracts were taken in by the queen to work for her court, expertly handling the infiltration of enemy nations and quelling any revolts.

Crown of the AnroangEvery heir after the death of a queen is granted the title of Anroang -meaning 'heroic queen' - after ascending to the throne. They are given the famous crown of Chien Binhrung, called the Thuan Thien, which is immortalized in an ancient Binhrung legend as a symbol of a true monarch. It was shattered into two pieces after the son of the Binhrung queen stole it during the invasion of Harimar, when he rode to battle against the harimari, and was promptly defeated.\n\nIt was lost for several years, until the queen's daughter was able to find both pieces and rebuild the crown and lead her country to victory against the invaders. Not only is the crown decorated by many jewels, but the head that wears this crown displays absolute power not seen in many other monarchies.

Encrusted Lamellar ArmorOne of the defining features of the Binhrung army is that their officers wear shiny, tough cuirasses that not only were ostentatious to look at during battle, but were actually strong enough to deflect bullets from long range, which gave Binhrung armies a solid edge against advanced firearms.
