Orientation War Active Isolation Value 14
Aspects Internal Feudal Conflicts Telrak is easily reached via river valleys, either along the riverbanks or by vessel.  Telrak is bordered by Merochas, Belaquin, and Malyk.   Roads are poor quality, and fighting frequently threatens travellers, both on and off the river.  Telrak is mostly isolated from Mekystan.  Travellers must cross a sparsely populated scrubland near the Wastes to reach Mekystani lands.
External Manipulation
Waste Incursions
Technology Value Interaction Value 10
Areas of Emphasis Materials, Fortifications, Weaponry. Telrakan interaction with other societies is often at the point of a sword (theirs or others').  Some trade is conducted, but such endeavors are more hazardous than normal, and only Telrakan traders routinely travel through Telrak.

Primary Force Feudal

 Exploitation 8 40%
Heavy Cavalry, Archers, and Medium Infantry.  Telrak has little or no river-based forces (navy).  This is primarily due to consistent action by Merochas if any significant river forces are developed. Telrak lacks the stability to readily exploit the resources that it has.  Suitable resources near the borders are often exploited in concert with outside interests (predominantly Merochasan, but some Belaquini and Malyki).
Supplementary Forces
External powers (official or otherwise) often send forces into Telrak to protect their interests, or to attempt to obtain more from others.
Relations 2 Trade 9
Telrak has poor to hostile relations with Merochas, Belaquin,   and Malyk (and on occasion with Mekystan). Telrak trades with surrounding cultures, but seldom maintains stable, long-term trading relationships.

Diversity 10 Diversity 11
Like Scholastics, the Arts are pursued only by the wealthy few who are interested. Adepts are sought after by various feudal lords to support their wars, for healing, and for other conflict-related purposes.  Other uses of magic are uncommon and viewed with some disdain.

Status
Primary Foundation Power Military Custom of Status 6
Rigidity of Status 5
Nobility are the only people with status. If you have status at all, you are somehow considered noble, whether by "birth" (into a wealthy or powerful family, regardless of how recent a development such wealth or power was), or by "right of arms" (i.e. you acquired your wealth or power the old-fashioned Telrakan way, by taking it from someone else).
