Amoenus

Amoenus was a territory comprising 15,000 inhabited and uninhabited tropical islands in the middle of the Verdant Sea. Prior to Confederation annexation, the territory was collectively known as Hyada, though no unified Kala-Nir nation existed. The territory was divided into five regions; Elasma, Galsin, Nuwei, Pakua, and Klegu. Amoenus was made up of hundreds of distinct ethnic groups, but the Confederation blanketed all people from the territory as Kala-Nir. Kala-Nir settlements were acted as their own miniature monarchies, their local daimyo being a worshiped patriarchal leader known as a Yůltha. 

Elasma

Elasma was the southernmost region of Amoenus. Many Myoga ocean voyagers established outposts on Elasma to construct and repair their ships, gather fruit and fish, and stash their economic earnings. It is commonly believed that ancient Myoga voyagers were the ancestors of the Kala-Nir. Permanent settlements were eventually established, including trade harbors, fisheries, and orchards. These orchards specialized in mangostan and yolk fruit, which were made into heavily-preserved juices and sold to Myoga sailors. These drinks, known as megaw or Elasma Punch, would become staples of the region and expand into a thriving export industry, the drinks going by several brand names and sold all across the Confederation. Elasma Kala-Nir are known for their hospitality and highly value the insights and stories from mainlanders and Myoga. 

Galsin

Galsin is home to the beptid, a foot-long, honey producing insect with a bronze hue to its chitin and large, sharp antenna. Beptid hives are some of the largest examples of animal construction, on average 25 meters tall and 20 meters wide, housing upwards of 50,000 insects. Beptids are one of the key factors in maintaining Amoenus’ vibrant forests, as they pollinate the entire territory and can travel between the islands in search of viable nectar. The largest sources are the giant klůtfebmů flower found on Klegu, requiring a round-journey of several hundred kilometers, yet the insects always return home to the Galsin island. The honey industry on Galisn is expansive and highly influential, as honey is the most common sweetener in the Confederation following the 1184 6D prohibition on sugar due to public health concerns. The honey was also mixed with water, fruit, and spices then fermented to make locally brewed methyglyn. Galsin Kala-Nir are known for their dedication to their work, many working as beekeepers who enter beptid hives and extract the honey through considerable manual labor for 10 hours a day. They can be considered very self-serious and controlling as a result, but when they are not at work they tend to show a more mellow and friendly attitude.

Nuwei

Nuwei is the northernmost region of Amoenus. These islands were shaped by their heavy amount of annual rainfall, the landscape carved by seasonal rivers and floodplains. This made the region prime for rice production, its primary export. White rice was popular across Amoenus and used for every meal of the day, but was a delicacy in the contiguous Confederation. While the rice industry was lucrative, major and deadly floods in this region required starting over time and time again and occasional supply shortage. Nuwei Kala-Nir are known for their reserved nature and rarely speak in casual conversation, their actions being highly precise and coordinated. No energy is wasted in their lives and all important events, from rites to meals to even matters of life and death are planned for maximum effortlessness.

Pakua

Pakua was the smallest region of Amoenus. Pakua was also the least forested and biologically diverse, many of the region's islands covered in loose, round stones known as eszelite. Eszelite varied in color and size, but they were incredibly beautiful stones that had the unique property of reflecting moonlight and glowing in the dark, giving it a highly spiritual significance. As the alchema practice among Eavons became widespread, eszelite became considered a viable alchema conduit and was commodified. Pakua locals began to professionally collect the best eszelite for international trade, carving or integrating less impressive stones for ritual objects sold across Amoenus. The exact origin of eszelite is unknown, but many speculate it originated from deep sea caverns and washed ashore following the infamous Hollow Quake. Pakua Kala-Nir are known for their mystic nature, highly dedicated to their practices and expect adequate respect from foreigners.

Klegu

Klegu was the name of the largest region and island in the territory, which was also home to the territorial capital Ekhe Sangkuriang. Due to the main island's size, Klegu was home to dense rainforests, mountain ranges, beautiful beaches, and volcanic highlands. This diverse environment allowed for an equally diverse economy and way of life for its inhabitants, as the island specialized in agriculture, metallurgy, shipmaking, mining, and logging. In the late 6th Dispensation, Princess Zifi, the daughter of Sultana Jaleera, was the first ambassador of Hyada from the Confederation. Meeting and confirming with the major yůltha across Hyada, Zifi sought to bring the islands into the Confederation and offered to marry one of the yůltha and make his kingdom the territorial capital. Many tried for her hand and offered mountains of local luxuries, Zifi eventually choosing Yůltha Sukarno of Sangkuriang, his bloodline becoming the most influential in all Amoenus until the Solstice War. Sangkuriang was renamed to Ekhe Sangkuriang and Hyada was renamed to Amoenus, with an immediate influx of tourists, merchants, and colonists flooding to the islands. Many Kala-Nir also emigrated to the Confederation mainland as they could now legally acquire citizenship. Klegu Kala-Nir were known for their robust and welcoming attitudes, eager to show their island as the greatest in the territory by offering foreigners all the best it has to offer. They were also skilled engineers and craftsmen, valuable qualities both in their homeland and abroad.
