Heartland, Centrum

Tamaya has a little bit of everything from its surrounding regions.

Tamaya's population is second only to Achmetha. They have a whopping 45 million and there's more coming from all around.

In Tamaya, the rule of thumb is to never speak ill of your king or country. The same goes for speaking good of another king or country.

In Tamaya, most young boys participate in wrestling and combat to keep themselves in shape. For people who are old enough, there's the gladiator games. These games are a bloody and brutal competition that displays your fighting skills and pays well. The only downside is the fact that many people are killed during the competition and many more are injured. Other kids will play with homemade balls in a sport called jungle ball. You score on the other team's goal to gain points, and whoever has the most points by sundown wins. the goals are two previously agreed on locations that a person from the other team has to get to with the ball. There's no other rules besides that, meaning the game could get really aggressive if measures for safety are not taken.

Tamaya is a central region on a continent called Nefastus, which means forbidden. It has icy mountains in the north on the border of Setsuna, a frozen wasteland. Tamaya is dryer in the east where it borders Misa, the land of sand, with a river running off of the northern mountains. In the South, Tamaya borders the lush land of Achmetha. In the east, Tamaya borders the wild forest of Honiahaka. In it's center Tamaya is generally a continuous plain with occasional plateaus. It isn't vast, but it's the biggest country on the continent.

Tamaya's fertile land to the south mainly produces wheat, flour and corn. Some farmers to the west have orchards of fruit bearing trees.

Tamaya was founded in 407 when lower class nobles took away the northern territory Achmetha was expanding into and made it their own territory. Tamaya was founded roughly 100 cycles after Achmetha, 200 cycles after Honiahaka and Setsuna, and 300 cycles after Misa.

Tamaya was initially populated by Achmethans who were coming from the south for more fertile land. As the government struggled to keep control of it's expanding reach, influential military figures decided it was time to make their move. In an act against the government, a group of lower class nobles put the people in the expanded region under their power in an act of rebellion. The Achmethan government had officially lost control, but they made the decision to let this expanded region go peacefully. They had the nobles sign a contract stating border locations and trade agreements. From then on, Tamaya rose under Tamaya Rohese, who the land is named after. Rohese led the nobles and soon became king of the people and was brutal to anyone who opposed. The Rohese line has still continued on today and the other noble bloodlines still make up the kings council.

Tamaya doesn't necessarily have that much military strength, but Tamaya knows how to use the military that it has. They know where to pick fight and where to keep the peace. They have a lot of control over public opinion and they have great relations with Achmetha which ensures food and other goods. Tamaya gives the impression of a well-put-together nation, but in reality it has a lot of civil unrest.
