You'll note that there is no PDF for Encyclopaedia entries as the Encyclopaedia Elyden is now available to all patrons to view - the post is stickied on my Patreon, and patrons at any tier (even as little as $1 month) have access to it. The PDF is a living document and will be updated monthly as I add content to it. You can find it here.

Saua is descended from past nations characterised by a dichotomous nature where conflict and spirituality are equally embraced, and Saua is little different. This is possibly a result of its geographical identity, for the nation, much like Ahrishen and the Haréshk, lies at a crossroads between the Korachani empire  and the east - which are representative of industry and nature, respectively.

Founded in 3108 RM, following decades of war between the Five Thrones of Sa’weh, Saua is a nation grounded in the past - animism and spirituality are very important cultural aspects to its people, who respect nature spirits as well as the spirits of their dead, with whom they are known to commune frequently. Firmamental shapers are relatively common there as a result, despite the nation crossing the Nullambit.

Despite its traditionalism, it has embraces industrialisation, though is careful to not allow its industries to sully the natural world - pristine forests and mountains dominate Saua, and many are sacred to its varied religions and philosophies.
