Kurzick

The Kurzicks are a religious people that make their homes in the Echovald Forest. They are one of three nations on the continent of Cantha. The Kurzicks are at continuous war with the Luxons.

Since the death of Shiro Tagachi, the Kurzicks slowly crept into the Echovald Forest and settled there. They have carved their homes and buildings in the trunks of the giant petrified trees.

The Kurzicks are a spiritual people who see signs in everything around them. Divination and foreseeing the future have a prominent place in their culture. Their society is a church-state governed by the Council of Nobles who stipulate laws and make decisions based on the guidance of their spiritual leaders, the Redemptors. There are five Great Houses that lead the Kurzick nation with lineages that can be traced to the earliest history of Cantha and beyond. The Kurzick capitol is the city of House zu Heltzer.
