Proesi

Proesi is a small, mountainous region located in the northeastern part of the continent of Eldoria. Geographically, it is characterized by its rugged terrain, deep valleys, and the prominent Proesian Alps that form its northern border. The region experiences a temperate climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, influencing its agricultural practices and local flora and fauna.

The history of Proesi is marked by periods of both isolation and significant cultural exchange. It was historically inhabited by various tribal groups who eventually coalesced into a unified principality. Over the centuries, Proesi has been influenced by neighboring kingdoms, leading to a rich tapestry of traditions and a unique dialect. The region played a minor role in larger continental conflicts, often serving as a strategic passage rather than a primary battleground.

Economically, Proesi relies heavily on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of hardy grains and the raising of mountain livestock. Its mineral resources, including iron ore and various gemstones, have also contributed to its economy, though extraction has become less significant in recent times. Tourism has emerged as a growing sector, drawn by the natural beauty of the Proesian Alps and its historic villages.

Culturally, Proesi is known for its distinct folk music, intricate textile crafts, and a strong tradition of storytelling. The inhabitants are generally considered stoic and resilient, a trait often attributed to the challenging environment. The regional capital, Atheria, is a historical center of administration and trade, retaining much of its medieval architecture.
