Ceresia

Theme: Grains / Breads / Pasta • Capital: Pangranos

Northeast golden region — steady, foundational, bureaucratic. Home of the late Concordant Emperor Harlan. Values process, continuity, and “rising together.”

Geography: Pangranos; Butter Lake, Sea of Pasta, Great Dunes of Grain. Longer journey from Castle Candy than near-bay routes.

Society: Leading imperial house Loaf. Signature peoples: Loaf/Breadfolk, Grain, Yeast. Archives and investigators matter as much as warriors. Public succession law: because Harlan was Ceresian, no Ceresian is eligible for the throne this cycle. Lord Knead of House Loaf attends as Imperial Court Representative only.

Faith: Local Table tradition — Order of the Rising Loaf (foundations, yeast, daily bread). Enjoyed prestige at imperial court during Harlan’s reign.

Succession: Voice — Lord Knead (ineligible). Public demand to finish the investigation into Harlan’s death before rushing a crowning.
