Heiyān

Heiyān is a mysterious island kingdom in the far north-pacific that is ruled by a Ēkavarka, a monarch with an ability to completely control their subjects with or without their will.

Names
Last names are always derived from the name of the grandfather and women keep their names upon marriage.

Ethnic Dress
Their traditional dress is a robe called Kokonik. There are various styles but generally consisted of a simple robe with straight sleeves, which was folded around the body, and tied with a band about the waist. The sleeves ended at the wrist or forearm and the length generally was to the calves.

Another form of dress in Heiyān is a (female) pleated skirt which was either red or black and fell to the shin and a white, embroidered peasant blouse. Men wore black, wide leg pants and a white high collar shirt.

Five Provinces
Heiyān society is based on a clan structure, with five clans. Each clan has areas of land bequeathed to them by the Ēkavarka, which they were tasked with maintaining. The Ēkavarka retains ownership of all lands, however, as the clans essentially still fall under the ultimate authority of the monarch.
