Breland



Breland is one of the Five Nations of central Khorvaire. It lies in the southwest of the continent, enjoying one of the largest areas of the nations and territories. Breland is a mix of open farmland, woodland, and sprawling metropolises, the largest and most famous of which is Sharn. The Lightning Rail originates out of Sharn and from there travels across Breland and out to the other nations of Khorvaire, while House Orien roadways branch out to more remote locations among the countryside.

Geography
Breland occupies a large swath of land nestled between Zilargo to the east and Droaam to the west while sharing its northern border with the Eldeen Reaches and Aundair, and even touches Darguun and The Mournland in its far eastern area. The Straits of Shargon stab into Breland with the Dagger River, while the Graywall Mountains in the west prevent monstrous invasions from Droaam. Other geographic boundaries are Lake Brey, Silver Lake, Lake Galifar and the Blackcap Mountains to the north, and the Howling Peaks and the King's Forest to the east.

Government
While King Boranel ir'Wynarn is the titular head of state, the bicameral Brelish Parliament controls the military and taxation, as well as handling much of the day to day governance. The Founders Assembly is made of 27 land-holding noble families who held power when Breland became independent at the beginning of the Last War, while the Common Assembly consists of officials elected in two-year cycles. The ir'Tain family is the most influential out of the 27 making up the Nobles Assembly.

National Anthem
Breland´s national anthem is The Song of Breland and the lyrics are as follows: "Breland, our Breland, Land of freedom and bravery, Forever will the Bear and Crown Stand upon this land we love. Breland, our Breland, Realm of gold and wonders, Always will we sing of thee For the Gods, King, and Country!"
