'''Vanadia''' is a culture originating on the continent of Adelaar, it is a widespread culture and it's people have inhabited multiple continents. The Vanadian's are one of the many culture groups of Aldic peoples, an ethnic group that originates from the continent the Vanadians know as Aldland but many call Artachi. The Vanadians have inhabited many nations, originally it was a principality of Rhumlaantd and after it's fall Vanadia became a constituency of the Triumvirate of Ceyreto. Vanadians also inhabited other nations such as the Commonwealth of Blackthorn and the second iteration of Sunderboren.

The arrival of the Vanadians in Kuthara started a shift in their culture. It was an oppurtunity for them to shake off any of the Rhumish influence they had in their language and culture. They also converted from their version of [[Agdarrism]] and returned to their old religion of [[Talmhaoradh]].

==== Forging of the Mhor Øks ====
In the mountains of Aldland there lived a famous smith who forged weapons for warriors all around the land. It was said the cold mountain air helped harden the blade and made them stronger. During the conflicts within Aldland the great warrior Dearac Ehl needed a new axe. He, like most other warriors, made a pilgrimage up into the Jindril mountains and requested an axe from the smith. Being told by Ehl himself that his son needed a new axe, the smith had already forged one for him. Dearac took the axe and continued up the mountain, as he reached the summit he saw a tree growing out of the tip of the mountain. In Aldic tradition he buried the axe into the bark of the tree, it was at this moment the axe was blessed by Talamh with magical properties. The axe has been passed down through the Ehlsonn family and is currently owned by Sigeric Ehlsonn.
=== Religion ===
The Vanadian Faith, known as Talmhaoradh, is a polytheistic religion, it is has many gods all whom have different roles. These gods are;
* Talamhor - the Mother: She who birthed us into the world, and loves us for we are her children. She who created the world and all of it's plants and creatures. Patron of mothers.
* Ehl - the Father: He who raised us and taught us how to live in the world, and takes pride in his children. He who fights to protect us and watches over us all. Patron of warriors
* Seladh - the guide: He who guides us in the world, and brings us to safe lands. Patron of sailors.▼
* Panicija - the healer: She who heals our wounds.▼
* Tuidh - the knowledgable: He who gave us the capacity for intelligience.▼
* Matbøta - Goddess of animals: She who controls the hunt.▼
* Irknir - God of smiths and engineers: He who keeps up the walls.▼
* Hunirif - Goddess of love: He who creates the bond of love and family.
Most of the gods are not actually gods but instead mortals who became diefied in life by their actions to help the early Aldlanders during the end of the ice age. The only god who was not ever present on earth is Talamhor, she is the main god in the Vanadian religion and is said to have created the earth itself.▼
The Vanadian Faith is not generally considered a religion by most Vanadians, but instead a form of ancestor worship. Due to this many Vanadians practice other faiths such as Sengarianism or Agdarrism.

=== Related Cultures ===
Aldic cultures inhabit many different areas across the globe, even before the Vanadians arrived in Kuthara Aldic peoples lived in the areas of Själenland and it is even thought that the Kalikhs are originally Aldic. It is also thought that a few Aldic peoples landed in Omis sometime in the last 400 years, living in the settlement of Solevant Soros, however it is thought these people are extinct. One of the surviving examples of other Aldic cultures are the Jotnarian Vikings, many of whom are direct descendants of Vanadians.
== Settlements ==
=== Elvmhor Anbhajn ===
Elvmhor was the first established settlement of the Vanadians, it was formed after the Aldlanders landed in the continent of Maetalamh
=== Tìrean Ùra ===
Tìrean Ùra, meaning ''new lands'', was the first Vanadian settlement in Kuthara after they fled Maetalamh. It was the capital of the Triumvirate of Ceyreto and the seat of power for Vanadia. Its first building was a stave church which the Vanadians used as their first act of dedication to their gods after converting back to the old religion.
=== Vhithafen ===
Vhithaven was one of the Rhumish settlements within old Vanadia. It was ruled over by Candac var Graefon who disappeared into obscurity after the Rhumish leadership vanished in the mountain of Gnibelhaym, and the collapse of the Rhumish realm. It is thought he was killed in some of the rioting that happened at the time, although his body was never found. Vhithafen was named so after it's walls and buildings made up of diorite and calcite from the local quarries. It was one of the first sights many sailors would see when they sailed into Rhumlaantd, as the walls would glisten in the sunlight.
=== Kalikhan & Wrensbath ===
Whilst not culturally Vanadian, Kalikhan and Wrensbath were situated in the constituency of Vanadia during the existence of the Triumvirate of Ceyreto. In the short time these cities were in Vanadia, they gained little cultural influence from their rulers.
=== Taobh Locha ===
Taobh Locha was the last Vanadian town led by Jarl Sigeric Ehlsonn as a static settlement. It was a member of the Commonwealth of Blackthorn and to this day still falls under it's claims. Whilst the structures of the town still exist, it remains empty and unpopulated.
=== Turlann ===
Turlann was a member of the Kingdom of Sunderboren, it functioned as a military camp for the Army of Vanadia. Upon the fall of the nation, this camp was abandoned.
