~~~~~~~~~~~~ :shell: :whale2: Historia :whale2: :shell: ~~~~~~~~~~~
Oceanic kingdom:
Like Istele, Historia is a very well known kingdom or place in the world. It's also the largest. All of the oceans and large connecting bodies of water and the islands within them count as their territory. No other kingdom needed or wanted these spaces anyways, at least as a living in territory. Their allies are always welcome to fish in their waters, while non-allies get a more strict set of rules and guidelines in doing so as well as require permission.
With the size of the kingdom, several clans or as they would call them "pods" have their own sense of territory in diffrent corners of the kingdom. The well known and most powerful pods would be the Selkie, Water Mage, and Aquatic nymph occupying Dragonfly Lagoon, crystal falls, and starfall springs.
This kingdom is known for its obvious special trades of aquatic items, specifically shells, sea glass, seaweed, aquatic plants, coral, pearls, and magickal items unique to sea magick or aquatic suplies.
Beliefs/religion:
As the creation of most aquatic beings was caused by the three Oceanic gods and sea beasts, why wouldn't they worship them?
Queen Atlanta, King Tidalwave, Kelpie beast, princess Oceana, And the Kraken beast are their most commonly worshiped deities.
Queen Atlanta + princess Oceana:
Woman are the ones that are typically ment to worship them, yet theirs no rule against anyone else doing so too. In worship it's common to see their followers either wearing pink pearls for Princess Ociana or a special variety of coral for Queen Atlanta in an accessory to show their belief or faith and as a symbol of protection and femininity. Offerings gifted at their temples and prayers are also a common form of their worship.
In following these beliefs, you would see the woman as strong and dangerous creatures as that's how the two of them willed it to be. This can be shown or ed in a number of ways.
The tale of the Oceana is her witnessing the horrible belittling treatment the ocean dwellers inflicted upon woman. Using her magickal item, the large pink pearl of a monster clam, she transformed all of the woman into more dangerous versions of their species. Sirens. After the mass violence that caused and the new earned respect towards woman, she kept them sirens, but gave them their "humanity" back.
Kelpie beast + Kraken:
These two have long since been guardians of the sea, and represent strength, protection, and the rage of the sea, they are physically present deities. Offerings and other things are also forms of worship. Wearing kelpie or Kraken insignia is also a known form of worship for these two beasts.
