History (Fleur)

Much of Fleur society is centered on their ongoing conflict with the Hongsu. They’ve developed military for tens of thousands of years to be able to hold back the continual assaults near the river at the border river between the two peoples. The parts of society closest to the conflict are much more militaristic and utilitarian (maybe brutalist) in nature. Everything is much more tightly controlled and populations of the those that are corrupted are much higher in these areas leading to a much firmer and harsher way of life. These areas generally have less access to good farmland due to the ongoing conflict and are reliant on the far eastern portions of the civilization in providing a constant stream of goods and services to the front to keep the efforts going.

Meanwhile those at the capital of Nenuphar and other cities live in a very high magic society due to the involvement of Maleny in society. Many of the spaces here incorporate magic and the water sources themselves seamlessly creating cities and networks that operate similar to Venice or the waterways inside that of the Water Tribe in Avatar. Farmland is incredibly fertile and food is a major export of the civilization as a result. Due to the relative safety of this area immigration is common enough that while the Fleurs are the majority they make up probably about 60% of the population here.

The society as a whole is formed around the idea of contributing to the effort of the conflict above all else. Melany’s efforts have helped make the amount of production exceed that of what is needed for the and society is now at a point that people are able to put their efforts past just the war effort but that intrinsic unease from the Hongsu still exists. The general consensus seems to be that things have come to a stalemate and that there are other issues that can be addressed leading to complacency within the highest portions of the government. I’ll expand on this as needed but the overarching values of the society are that of a shared collective against a common enemy but as that has become less of a pressing threat that are beginning to turn inward towards their own differences on how they want to proceed as a people and tensions are starting to build to a head with civil war possibly on the horizon with the right catalyst.

Hold a large amount of animosity for the Hand of the Divine due to perceived neglect of their struggles and suffering over the course of their existence.
