User blog:Tikkit/The Land of Cerzin: The Valen.

Down in the southern deserts of Cerzin lies the massive cities of the Valen. Made with the large amounts of natural resources found there, excluding wood of course, these cities are raised around whatever body of water is available. Typically desert Oasis and rivers. Using this water they began to use the technique of irrigation to farm the lands they lived on. Which made sure that they no longer needed to hunt for all their food.

The current capital is the fortress city of Hylee, which resides near the coast of southern Cerzin. Located there is the Clockworks, where the Valen's army of Clockwork soldiers is created. Which is an army of mechanical men made by the Valen's to help them expand into the lands north of them. While advanced, they are still primitive when compared with the Automaton they are based off of.

The people of Valen are varied, including Humans, most mamono and monsters that reside in deserts, quite a few Unicorns, and it is known that Giant Ant nests are common in the area. Most people in Valen enjoy rather find lives, with very few people who are actually in poverty.

Currently, Valen is ruled by the Apophis Asra. Asra is well known for her desire to expand the borders of Valen, seeking control over the vast amount of wood the jungles have and the farmlands of the western plains. Perhaps this is why the C!ockwork Army of Valen has recently been reinforcing border patrols...
