Hespor

The northernmost country of Erata, Hespor spans most of the northern coast of Dinés, and is the native state of orcs. Its borders are closed, assisted by the Kanda mountains spanning its entire land border.

The lower classes of Hespor are seasonally nomadic, with others being more settled in agricultural towns, ruled over by the warlord Tra Hunto (Tra being their title), whose ancestors took over in a violent coup beginning in 124 in the west of the country, driving many to seek asylum in Ospus due to the imposition of a new caste system

Hespor was conquered in the year -15 by General Tra (Hesporans do not use surnames, but will add caste when necessary), who gave her name to the new title for leaders of the country

Social Structure
Hespor's social structure involves a rigid caste system, though marriage between them is allowed - with the new couple taking the status of the woman, or the highest in the case of two or no woman couples, with status inherited from the mother:

- Neme, the royal family

- Sequor, the nobility

- Villam, farmers

- Oro, priests and their apprentices

- Facio, artisans and their apprentices

- Rixam, the military

- Laborem, hunter-gatherers

- Deservio, servants, forbidden to marry outside of their caste or directly address any other caste but the laborem or rixam (though they may join the military with the permission of their masters)
