Mekedesh: Difference between revisions

Mekedesh is one of if not the longest inhabited province of Packilvania, with premodern sentient beings having roamed the land as hunter gathered with rudimentary use of primitive tools that was eventually inherited by the modern species namely the Felines who eventually settled in sedentary settlements and developed crop farming and animal husbandry. Nevertheless nomadic was prevalent to the north of the province where the dry weather and harsh landscape required the people to migrate with their animals to seasonal areas of grass and water.

Mekedesh is a middle sized province in terms of surface area among the [[provinces of Packilvania]]. It borders other high level [[Administrative divisions of Packilvania|administrative subdivisions of Packilvania]], namely [[Rigaryat]] to the east, [[Iganar]] to the northeast, [[Ashura]] to the north, and [[Kharyat]] to the west. Mekedesh is characterised by tropical rainforest along its southern coast, which bounds the [[Packilvanian Ocean]] and is characterised by thick vegetation, year-round rain, humidity and heat. To the north of the tropical coast is a subtropical rainforest and savanna climate with rain year round, but varying in intensity based on the season. Vegetation is thick but not as thickly forested as the north. This is caused by the distance from the warm Packilvanian Ocean and an increase in elevation.

The use of exquisite materials such as porcelain on the flooring, walls and tiling, the use of vibrant colors, murals and picturesque silhouettes was among its archetypal features.

Its uniform natural and earthy colors are reminiscent of the tastes of that era.

The culture of Mekedesh is very archetypal of Packilvanian culture more broadly. Mekedesh had been under the control of the Ashurian kingdom of Bakil, then its own native Kingdom of Tashkar expanded and exported its culture to other province and reinstated the successor kingdom to the first Packilvania founded by [[Iktan the Devout]]. Many of its scholars, prophets and priests attended the Council of Bingol summoned by High King [[Melkezedek the Great]] in the 10th century whereby the Bas Magdamar was made the scripture of [[Melkezedekism]] (practically the only permissible denomination of [[Paxism]] in Packilvania).

Mekedesh cuisine is characterised by the use of rice and Pax Fruites as the core staple, with abundant use of spices, fruits and vegetables, and meat. Pork and alcohol consumption is heavily restricted in Mekedesh. Many Mekedesh dishes tend to be dominated by plants with philosophers of the Pacifist Movement in the 17th century having discouraged people from consuming meat. Mekedesh is home to highly acclaimed Packilvanian restaurants and the abundance and freshness of ingredients typifies the apex of Packilvanian food. Couples with the fact that the north and south have vastly different geographies, the cuisine within Mekedesh varies with more meat, eggs and dairy dominant meals in the north and vegetable oriented meals in the south.
