People of Rossien

The inhabitants of Rossien are referred to collectively as Rossienos, with “Rossieno” serving as both a neutral and masculine form, and “Rossiena” as its feminine counterpart.

A former pirate kingdom, it became a refuge for those trying to escape either Ancoria or Qranth for any reason. Because of this, its population is highly diverse.

Government of Rossien

Rossien is a monarchy, with its Rahkan (king) or Kajani (queen) reigning with the Council of Tides, following the bloodlines of the crew of Rossien’s first pirate king, Mikrael “Rael” Ravella.

Trusted overseers — qaphtans — are assigned to every subdomain of each domain under a member of the Tide Council or Tidelords for short.
