	An absolute faith in these qualities is why duels still dictate the rulers of Coronus. Coronus is split apart by its peaks, and each peak has a King of the Mountain. The King lives in a dedicated home, and at any time, anyone can challenge them to a duel. The duel is public. Should the current King win, they continue ruling.

Coronus is split apart by its peaks, and each peak has a King of the Mountain. The King lives in a dedicated home, and at any time, anyone can challenge them to a duel. The duel is public. Should the current King win, they continue ruling. Should they lose, the home and seat of government passes to the victor.

	This, in any case, is how it ought to work. In a land based on strength, there are always those who are willing to resort to less than savory means. To these ends, the King is in charge of a small militia, staffed by those of their choosing. This militia helps guard the King's home and acts as ~~police~~ on their Peak.

To these ends, the King is in charge of a small militia, staffed by those of their choosing. This militia helps guard the King's home and acts as law enforcement on their Peak.

	If the King rules well, there will be relatively few challenges to duel, as a sign of respect for a job well done. If the King rules poorly, then they will be challenged often, and if they refuse to respect those calls to duel? Coronus's history is littered with uprisings and rebellions. Corruption is weakness, and ousting a corrupted ruler is always a noble pursuit.		If the King rules well, there will be relatively few challenges to duel, as a sign of respect for a job well done.

	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.

	====[Sayil]====		====[[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.

-Might is right.
+Strength is everything in Coronus. A strong leader is someone who has the self-discipline to train. They see the long-term; they understand their goals and can work daily towards it. They understand their limits, and thus are able to push themselves without hurting themself. Raw power can be achieved alone, but true strength cannot: one must collaborate with others to test themselves, duel, and spar, and they must be willing to listen to others in order to see the flaws within themselves and continue growing. One cannot grow so proud to think themself infallible, or they will inevitably topple. Show kindness, make friends, support others, and one will find themself supported in turn.

			===Fashions===
			Coronus, being a place people fight a lot, favors leather armor. Leathers are easily accessible, since there's a strong culture of hunting and ranching, and it strikes the balance of protective and light, so people can still glide and be agile. Plate armors are not very common outside of serious battle, although chain mail is fairly popular. Outside of armor, most clothes are wool or linen, depending where on the mountains someone lives. Wool where it's cold, linen where it's hot. Scale mail and linothorax are also popular armor types.

			Even beyond its protective qualities, leather is very popular. There's a massive respect in Coronus for intricate, well-done leatherwork. Fabric is typically more plain and utilitarian to highlight the more complex and visually interesting metal or leather accessories. Corics also love big chunks of shiny rock. Jewelry tends to be large, heavy, and chunky. Raw, uncut stones are featured just as often as faceted ones.

			Because climbing is a necessary part of some Coric towns, there's also a tendency towards lots of pockets and belts with pouches instead of purses and bags, anything to keep one's hands free and wings unencumbered.

			Coronus is also known for its quilts. What started as a way to pad clothes for protection and comfort has become quite the art form.
