====Sneed====

General:

Sneed is a peasant republic south of the Taur Tribes (with whom they often fight over the control of the southern plains), only landowners can vote and their vote is proportional to how much land they own.

People:

The Sneedians are a very agriculturally based folk, to the point of them looking down on urban inhabitants, or "city slickers" as they like to call them.
Some have Yellowish skin, others look like slightly inbred white dudes from flyover states.

Religion:

Sneedism is a faith dedicated on the worship of one farmer god, Sneed.
While this god is mostly dedicated to agriculture, he has multiple aspects revolving him.
Said to be the first aspect to emerge is the Shop Owner and his two Employees, patrons of prosperity, trade and supplies. It is said that one can visit his shop in the afterlife and purchase the most divine of supplies.
The next one is the Historian, god of history and fertility. People pray to him when desiring children or success in academics and warfare.
Another is the Man Who Rages against the Storm, also known as Jose Gallard in some areas. As the name implies, this aspect is prayed upon for protection against storms and other natural disasters. His story of him battling the entity known as The Storm is told to remind people of hope and perseverance.
It is common for foreigners and city slickers to misinterpret the Sneedians as polytheistic. In reality, these "gods", while separate from each other, are all part of the same entity.

Magic:

Despite them having risen against a wizard, they are not really anti-mage and have a pragmatic view of magic: wizards can be dangerous but they are good tools and especially useful when fighting the Taurs. The biggest towns have surprisingly good magical schools especially near the frontier because of this.

Military:

Peasant levies.
Gun use is quite widespread.

History:

The republic was formerly "Chuck's Kingdom", a dictatorship created by a rogue archmaster from the Wizard Coast but his serfs managed to assassinate him and divided his domain among themselves.

Economy:

Agriculturally based

'''Story 1:'''

The three Furred Fools of eld once dealt with the ivory horse. Chancing across it in the dead of night, it was a welcome reprieve- the horse gilding them with gifts, and promising them a prosperous rule at the head of their kingdom. It only asked that they endure a small measure of pain- and so the three Furred Fools accepted. The pain they endured was nothing short of a hellish torment, however- and mere moments after accepting the ivory horse's bargain, the Fools were transformed into horrific, writhing entities of pure suffering. They ravaged the old Chuckian countryside- their brutality and wickedness still preserved in folk tales today.
