The Greater Monarchy of Cherawyn
Kingdom Flag
The new flag of the kingdom was put in place after the success of the rebellion. The blue field represents the peace within the kingdom after the end of the civil war. The white cross represents the blank slate that was placed before the rebellion leaders after their victory. The red swiftwing is the main attraction of the flag, it was the symbol of the rebellion during the civil war. The symbol located at the cross honors the guardians and the sacred forest, who helped the rebellion win the war.

Religion
Religion within Cherawyn is mainly centered around the Swiftwing that notoriously lives within the area. They are aware that there are more than one Swiftwing within the world, but believe it is the eldest of it's kind and the most powerful. While it is not viewed as a god, per se, it is extremely revered.
Any person that sees the swiftwing is from thence on referred to as a spotter of the swiftwing, and it is said that the next child said person has will be a chosen of the swiftwing, and go on to do great things.
The prophet of the swiftwing is a man descended from a line of prophets. It is said that a prophet can converse with the great bird, through going into a deep meditation. It is said that each child they have that is a chosen of the swiftwing will also be a prophet, and due to the large amount of times a prophet sees the swiftwing, the majority of their children become prophets. Prophets see a the swiftwing an average of ten times in a lifetime, while among others only one in five-hundred people see the swiftwing.
A new line of prophets can be created when the swiftwing is present for the birth of the child, thus making that child a prophet the first of a line of prophets, an archprophet to be exact. It is said that the swiftwing will actually appear before an archprophet for hours at a time, allowing for greater conversations that the minutes that a prophet has during meditation. This is unconfirmed, however as a new line of prophets has not occurred for hundreds of years.
The current prophet of Cherawyn is one of the more powerful seen for years. He's seen the bird around twenty times, and can meditate for the insane time of thirty minutes at a time. He has been getting odd readings off of the child in Jades stomach.
Worship of the old gods is not uncommon, but sacrifice is outlawed.

Wealth
The Majority of people within the kingdom are middle class. Then there being upper class, then the lower class, and a few very rich. There isn't much of a distinguished line between the classes except in the captial. The capital is one of the few cities where all classes live. In a city like graystone you might think the whole population was rich and upper class, but in a city like Tornwood you would think there was only poor and middle class.
Trade
The Kingdom trades with whoever is willing to trade with them. They have a great deal of trade ships.
Resources
The Kingdom has a great deal of jewels as it's greatest export, found mostly in the blue mountains. There is a great deal of food due to the large amount of grasslands. There is a medium amount of stone and metals. Little to no spices. There is currently a lot of lumber, but once they run out of forests in goldwood, they will be without any due to their knowledge not to hurt the sacred forrest in anyway.
Political Stability
The government is extremely stable. Since the rebellion won over the tyranical Monarch before Joshua there has not been much civil unrest besides a few loyal to the old bloodline. Even those, however have died down since Joshua took the thrown.
