====== The curse of Alagad ======
This is the Maist tale of the fallen king who sits on the throne of Alagad. Greater Alagad was a small state that was formed in the 870s and lasted till 1542. The people of Alagad, in 1542, were suspicious of their new ruler who was called, <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, as he supposedly had been involved with inhuman experiments. One day, a group of young salovian men broke into the royal laboratory and found things which horrified the people of Alagad to Even the king's guards supported the public. The king was dethroned and was thrown in the prison in his own palace. A week later, the new king was crowned. However, one night, the guards the former king's cell noticed that he had vanished without a trace. A few hours later, the palace was aflame. The fires spread to nearby buildings at and people were ablaze. The next day, people were found dead in the hundreds due to an unknown disease. The water turned crimson red. The nearby vegetation turned grey. The people who fled the city lived and called this the curse of Alagada. Very few of the remaining people lived and those who did, died a few years later. When people returned to the ruined city a few weeks later, they noticed that the palace seemed untouched. The few people who stayed back and lived, claimed that they had seen the fallen god. It is believed by the Maists that the king <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, was the human incarnation of the fallen god Pesmenyoz or <s><u>''Ø̶̤̾̾ß̶̛̳̿̔̋̂ƒ̸͉̻̙̋̋̂̓̂͘¤̴͇̖̗̏͋͌̔̓̇µ̷̨̛̱̯̠̲̹̏̆̃̀¶̴̰̥̩̬͎̤̏†̷̢̙͙̬̅̋̾.''</u></s>

Political freedom is low in Zeiberland. The media is mostly free however, it is riddled with government propaganda and in a state emergency the government may supress media if deemed necessary. The government ensures peace through control and anyone who questions the workings of the government in a non-constructive way are ignored or supressed.

Even though elves, nekomimi and humans are treated as equals, all other races are treated horribly in rural areas. Other races are treated as animals.
