Bilkan Kingdom: Politics

Much like Telish Throne, honour, loyalty and family are of prime importance to the Bilkanese. Their mido's devout faith and personal teachings strengthen their desire for peace and prosperity.
The Ona-ko-do is followed strictly here as in other parts of Tilmar, though positions of station here does not negate them from the daily rituals followed by its people. It would not be a surprise to see the local sitchu working in the fields before the harvest or chopping wood for the cooking fires before a feast. The sense of community with these people is vast, and it would be rare for one person to not know another.

Many Bilkanese live lives of faith and inner searching, spending years in prayer and teachings of their God.

The druids of Katia, although having no real political position in the kingdom, have a strong voice and are regarded with deep respect and given much courtesy.

Since the druid Brisbane healed the Swamp of Reawakening and nursed the Grove of Slumber to its current glory, and was declared High Druid of Tilmar, she and her followers have often been sought for wise counsel and aid.

Since Telish cut off most of its trading with Bilkan, the kingdom has struggled to maintain itself, arranging less than profitable oversea trading routes to import many of the things they were accustomed to receiving from Telish. Although a rather secret trading operation is underway in Creedo with the Kagi of Telish, it is not nearly enough to continue to provide for the entire kingdom.
