Adro is the smallest of the Nine Nations, located at their geographical center. Residents of Adro are referred to as "Adran".
Government
Like the rest of the Nine Adro was an absolute monarchy ruled by a king. He was considered by the church as a divine ruler and any action against him was a sin. Although theoretically, he had total control of the government and military, by the time of Manhouch XII the king was little more than a figurehead to the nobility and the army had effectively gone under Tamas's control.
After Tamas's coup, Adro moved towards a parliamentary system.
Military
Under Field Marshal Tamas the military of Adro became the most formidable in all of the Nine. He prevented any nobles from buying commissions and ensured that all officers came from skill instead of wealth. Unlike the rest of the Nine, the Adro military accepts Powdermages into their ranks, even some like Tamas and Sabon rising to high ranks.
Religion
The Patron Saint of Adro is Adom, the most peaceful of the gods among the other saints, more famous for his cooking rather than his power. Adro's main religious institute is the Church of Kresmir, one of the most powerful organizations in the entire kingdom. Though this was reportedly extremely corrupt such as the case of Charlemund who after only a day as a priest, rose to become Arch-Diocel of the entire church and has had multiple orgies in his residents.
