Daeslund

People
The people of Daeslund are called Daeslunders. The language, appearance, and culture of ethnic Daeslunders are similar in many ways to those of late-1800s Britain.

Partially due to the influence of Elgarism, people from many other nations have immigrated to Daeslund. In some cases they formed ethic or cultural enclaves, and in others they assimilated into larger populations. As a result, while the majority of humans in Daeslund have pale skin and a range of eye and hair colors, in large population centers it is not unusual to see either humans with darker coloration or trolls.

Language
The primary language of Daeslund is Daeslundic, which is largely based on late-1800s British English.

Other languages spoken in Daeslund, by various minority populations, include Dacyn, Esiphian, Nasener, and Nessoran.

Governance
Daeslund is governed by The Assemblage, a parliamentary body composed of members of The Headmanship. The capital of Daeslund is Leiscourt.

Currency
The standard unit of currency is the tocat, which is divided into sen and further into pennies.

Religion
The most common religion in Daeslund is Elgarism, which originated there.
