Cheya

''"Tidegate is the eastern trading face for Ceacleth. Most of the goods traded out to eastern continents pass through Tidegate. However, Tidegate is also a nest of mob activity that the government has continually failed to weed out. The city is also famed for the number of brothels that line the streets. The amount of profit turned by the number of sailors that frequent these establishments is the highest on the continent. The governor of this city is a warforged named Kip Lighthands. His right hand man is a drow named Rizin Vesro, who is a known mob associate." - Komuruk Murat's Compendium of Elarian Cultures''

The home of Ceacleth's largest trading port, Cheya is a large province.

The capital city of Cheya is Beachcastle.

Location and Climate
Cheya is a large coastal province north of the southeastern peninsula. While Cheya is home to many islands and a few mountains, the climate manages to remain universally wet and cool around the entire territory. The Finger Isles, protruding to the east, are a good example of this, as they are known for their near constant rainfall. Swamps also dominate many of these islands.

Races
Cheya is mainly populated by humans and warforged on the mainland. The warforged were created by Troycish smiths for the Cheyans during the War of Sons.

Industries and Exports
Cheya is a strong trading point for relations with eastward continents. Also, Cheya’s lumber and fishing industries are among the most lucrative on the continent.

Imports
Cheya imports a lot of stone, wood, fruit and comfort items.

History and Culture
Cheya is in a lucrative position, geographically speaking. However, due to the cold, soggy climate, many inhabitants of this region have described it at “fucking miserable”. However, the warforged population seems generally unbothered by the weather. The War of Sons was the war between Cheya and Portus Cale over the border placement.

Holidays
Every year, during the summer months, the weather is noticeably nicer. In Beachcastle, to commemorate the beginning of summer, a festival is held. One the largest celebrations is for all of the new brides to dance with the unmarried women, to imbue to them their own marital fortunes. The dance takes place in the kings courtyard and no men are allowed in. At the end, the monarch usually tries to set up an unwed dancer with a royal family member.

Government
The current monarch of Cheya is Molly Elfpuncher, a tiefling, and their husband is King Bren Elfpuncher, a human. Bren graduated from the Adrosonia Institute of the Arcane and served in the Cheyan military.
