Teinland is a small nation on Eras that is quite far behind in technology when compared to other nations on Eras. Teinland uses Axes, spears, and a kind of musket, Teinland is barely developed(Mainly farmland, mines, and small towns on the ground). Teinland is a nation covered in vast forests which has played to the Teinians advantage when facing foreign aggression. Due to their suspicion of foreign nations they do not allow for many, if anyone at all, to enter their nation as their borders are patrolled relentlessly, and any person found on Teinian land is escorted out to a random border of the nation. When flying above the nation you can hardly ever see the ground of the nation due to the very thick foliage and tree canopy. Open spots on the trees are rare but when they are seen it usually holds farmland which seems to grow rice, lots and lots of rice. Teinland speaks a dialect of Igbo. Also due to the aggressive patrolling of the borders the geography of Teinland is still mostly un-mapped and the only people who have maps of the forest floor in Teinland are the natives inside. Teinland is extremely isolationist and only on very rare occasions will one find a native from Teinland outside of their borders. Teinland follows a religion where everything on this planet is equal.


Teinland formed when the native groups in Eras came together to create what other people called a 'nation' and they created the name through the 8 tribes that joined together. Treferse, Ethuensiqne, Inisuinoc, Negtrot, Luriocous, Amvantanus, Nahcreatus, and Deovantial. Or in short, Teinland.

Weapons Used by Teinian hunters and border patrols are listed below, however there are many many variants of each of thee weapons due to the fact that everyone has the option to make their own weapon if they so desire.

The Tak Musket is a regular musket save for that instead of using gunpowder it uses a kind of mud called Tak. It is the most popular choice to use for border patrols. The user can have their own custom Tak Musket made, all the variations above are the most common variations to the original Tak Musket Build(The top one if the original design)

The Spear, this is the regular version of the throwing spear and is meant or stabbing and killing charging animals or people. It is also a very popular choice when hunting in Teinland's vast forest. It is not commonly seen in border patrols.

The Axe. There is nothing special about this axe other than it can be used either to cut down tree's or to throw at an enemy. Most natives in Teinland know how to use a throwing axe as a form of self defense, and it is common to see a Teinian native holding them.

Tak was found when a patrol was wandering through Teinland when they cam across a giant reddish brown mud pool. When they walked over dried version of this mud it suddenly exploded and killed 13 members of the patrol. The remaining 7 ran back to their village to report what had happened. Teinians returned to investigate this substance for possible use. This is how Teinland found out about Tak.

Tak itself is a malleable when wet, but when it dried it explodes on contact. However it dries quickly with it drying at an insane rate of only 6 seconds. This is because of the heat that comes when it mixes with water. Tak should be carried in a leather water pouch at all times, and if a leak is found in the pouch it is to be thrown away as quickly as possible.

Tak was quickly put to use in mining underground for metals, it was also weaponized in the form of Tak Muskets.

Teinland's government is run by 8 Elders each in charge of their respective region. The locations of each Elders respective city is kept secret to all foreigners. They communicate through trained birds that deliver messages back and forth. The Elders also meet at a random location in Teinland every 2 months for a gathering and sharing of intelligence. Emergency meetings can be called by any Elder or Teinian of high enough rank.
 
Teinland, despite its technological setbacks, is able to produce penicillin, albeit it is of low quality, taste terrible, and has difficulty combating larger groups of bacterium. The information about the making penicillin was from a foreign exile who had medical backgrounds. Unfortunately, he succumbed to disease before he finished replicating the drug. His assistants(Teinians he took on as Apprentices) had to finish it for him. Due to the fact that his apprentices had to finish the replicated drug it came out not as strong as the original, but still had the same premise. Therefore, every Teinian must report to the nearest medical house when they find something is different from the normal. They are then given penicillin to combat the potential disease.

The cities in Teinland are all located in Mashuarn tree growths are appear every so often throughout the vast forests of Teinland. As seen in this image there are usually more than one building on each tree, and there are bridges connecting trees to one another. When changing floors Teinians simply climb up or down ropes that are hanging down from the central tree platform(One on every tree in the village with buildings on it, they are rings around the truck with ropes hanging down or above them each leading to their respective building). You can find some villages and towns on the ground in area's where there are no Mashuarn tree growths, but the preferred building ground is in Mashuarn tree growths.
Mashuarn trees are abnormally large trees which show up every so often when wandering Teinlands vast forest. Although more uncommon than seeing singular Mashuarn trees, finding a bunch together is much more uncommon. Fir a Mashuarn tree to reach full size and maturity it takes 130 years. How ever Mashuarn trees are big enough to build on after 80 years. The current oldest Mashuarn tree in Teinland is around 5386 years old, although it is most likely much older.

Teinian's generally have pale skin and white hair, and they are dubbed Blessed Teinian's. But on more rare occasions you will come across Green eye'd and blond haired Teinian's. They are dubbed Holy Teinian's.

I cannot find a suitable image for a Holy Teinian. Just imagine the above picture with blond hair and green eyes.
