Timeline
Society and Government
Early
After the treaty of Mastavimmia in 3280, Ilummia and high rankings officials wrote a set of laws to create a state that followed the will of Ulum. This meant ensuring constant mixing in the population and a fair meritocratic system. The first action was (forcefully)separating and equally distributing the native and settled populations throughout the land secured by Ilumma. The land was then split in Umimi and the central rule was given to the Ilummian Elite. These communities act as semi-independent, however they have to pay a tax to the central government and are most frequently highly specialized. Some Umimi have a special status: Mages, Government, Military, Academies and Merchants.
Upon reaching the age of 20, the young inhabitants of each Umimi are required to leave it (they are called Sestasher). They take on a journey to find their new (and permanent) Umimi; in most cases they depart a day of spring. All the Sestasheren from a same Umimi travel together (for at least a year). They travel flying from Umimi to Umimi where they are given hospitality. When they arrive in a Umimi they can try to integrate, by choosing a profession and by participating in some challenges. These challenges (called Nulievarin) vary between Umimi and profession. Only one from each Sestasheren group is taken and the Nulievarin can be tried every three years inside each Umimi. Academy-Umimi are located throughout the territory. There Sestasheren can be integrated for a three year period, during which time they train to pass the Nulievarin for the most prestigious Umimi professions. Everyone can be a Sestasheren for a maximum of 9 years, afterwards if they weren't accepted in any Umimi they are defaulted to the Military or Merchant Umimi.
