Details

Anealeas is by far the most populous of the Five Provinces. Most mainlanders think of Anealeas when they think of Oenklay. Feudal practices are most highly developed in Anealeas. The majority of persons are serfs who have guaranteed rights and obligations passed down across generations. This includes entitlement to land to be worked, tithes, etc. A free peasant in Anealeas is looked down upon as man or woman with no position in life who must live from one menial job to the next. Wealth is looked upon as the real source of freedom, not some legal code. A great many “freedmen” toil away working for “non-free” serfs who control far more land than they could possibly ever work themselves. This doesn't mean being a serf is easy, and a great many are barely getting by themselves, but it isn't slavery in Anealeas. The largest city is Maande with a population hovering around 60,000 or so. A substantial portion of Maande's population are serfs who have run away from their manors or freedmen who have no place else to go.

Anealeas holds a great deal of sway over Romhai, but the two frequently skirmish over their precise border and who gets to style themself King (Choshre) or Queen (Drani) of Oenklay. Currently, the border runs closer to Caer Aeti than Vengril, but both rulers style themselves as monarch.
