Editing Coronus (section)

===International Relations===
Coronus considers itself the best place in all the land: best culture, best people, best food, best land, and thus it concerns itself little with the affairs of other nations.

====[[Dolsia]]====
Being the ones who ousted Dolsia from the mountains in the first place, Coronus largely has little empathy for the Dolsian plight. If they wanted to live on the mountain, then they should have been stronger. Whatever those strange little birds are doing down in their caves is their business. The vitriol Dolsia holds towards Coronus is very much one-sided. Dolsians tend to be considered weak, with an affection for the needlessly complex.

That said, they are not unwelcome on Coronus. Coronus is secure in its control of the mountains, and they trade as gladly with Dolsia as any other. Due to the rarity of Dolsian immigrants--and Coric folks aren't often descending to the caves either--their understanding of each other's culture is very surface level.

====[[Eniya]]====
If Coronus considers any other country a threat, its Eniya. Eniya is large, populous, and protected by its magnificent desert. They have come to blows in the past in a war over Sayil, and this has not been forgotten. Leaders in Coronus treat Eniyans with 
a rare formality, keeping them at arm's length, and this chill is returned. Eniyans fear Coronus, its fire, and all its dragons. Coric commoners, however, often find themselves bonding with Eniyans, attracted to their gregarious and adventurous spirit.

====[[Olitskur]]====
Olitskur and its ianthina are a virtually unknown in Coronus; stories of the place are near legendary. Entirely land-locked, most Coric people have never seen the ocean, much less those who live there. Any exposure to ianthina are those who've made the transition to landdwelling life, or the rare freshwater commune. 

The one exception to this is dragonriders. Riders with particularly strong dragons have seen the lights from above. Some have hunted those lights, but there has been a much stronger movement towards curiosity. People want to know if the legends are true. Certain dragonriders have become trusted visitors to the Olitsken homeland, able to travel safely with no risk of running into Olitsken raiders.

====[[Sayil]]====
Coronus's relationship with Sayil is overwhelmingly positive. When Sayil was first establishing itself as a real nation--something more than a scattered collection of villages in the woods--Eniya took that as revolt. Up until that point, it had considered all of Enchiron but the Coric mountains to be its own, and so Coronus stepped in to rescue the infant Sayil from invaders (and protect itself from Eniya's overreach). A great fondness for the young country remains alive and well, fostered by the active trading between the countries. If someone from Coronus is going on vacation, it is often to Sayil, and those tired of Coronus's everlasting conflict similarly tend to retire there.

====[[Theriad Caravans]]====
Caravaners face relatively little prejudice in Coronus. Whether or not someone believes in the Devourer or Lifebringer, the Coric impulse is always to evaluate someone on their own merits, first and foremost. And most Caravaners that travel through Coronus are, first and foremost, seen to be wonderful entertainers. Caravaners are often interested in joining Coric games, and they are welcomed in turn and trade freely. 

This positive relationship is, however, somewhat one-sided. Some in Coronus see caravans as weak, poorly defended, and thus Coric highwaymen and extortionists are a pervasive danger for caravans who travel up into the mountains.
