Universal suffrage is in Eldonia not that common, Humans, Dwarves, the Kloen and Prawd generally don't have universal suffrage.
Orks and Elves are the exception, Orks tend to act like the Sarmatian tribes who lived in current day Ukraine, the Sarmatian virgins did have to kill a foe before they would be able to marry, this way weak and coward woman would not survive to carry weak and coward children. The Ork society goes even further in their eyes a boy and a girl should both have killed a foe before marring. Some societies even tend to send engaged couples away to raid towns an villages, mostly elf and human villages for they are physically the weakest races on Eldonia.
Elves have universal suffrage for an entirely different reason. For them a man and a woman are equal, because they need each other to live on and have children together. For the elves who commit themselves entirely to study and knowledge a marriage is something that should keep the knowledge of their ancestors safe. (Not that they did a good job with Artistry)
Except from these there are a few other nations that have universal suffrage, this universal suffrage is more likely to be short-lived and is put in place when there aren't enough men to do all the work, most of the time the end of universal suffrage goes together with executions of dark spirits that conquered the bodies of women.
In the more civilized nations universal suffrage is although an institution that was put in place because it was impossible to go on without (idem above) it isn't abolished mainly because women invaded the political circles and are stopping the abolishment with all means.

Another Eldonia related drawing I made. Colouring on the computer starts going more easily now.

The way I see it Eldonia is a preindustrial world but with better transport possibilities (the art of flying with cryroot, use of magnetism for trains etc) but the main part of the industrial activity happen at home or at (government funded) workshops that make things for the poorer masses.
In human society the masses are farmes cultivation lands under protection of a standing army. The main stream human society is much like in medieval times here.
The other races can live differently: dwarfs who are smaller and need less food populated larger cities in the valleys and dig for ores and minerals, sometimes they live together with a taller race who are able to work on the farms, some sort of symbiotic community.
Elfs for example are fascinated by knowledge, they have the most sophisticated machinery to make a days work less hard, or even have slaves.
Orcs have a slave funded militaristic society, they live in various little empire who are constant struggling with each other for supremacy over a territory, the enemies they capture become slaves (these slaves can be from all kinds)
Prawd live in small communities in places that are for others dangerous like swamps, the toxic gasses coming out of these swamps are dangerous for other kinds but not for Prawd. They are most notably to be found in large rain forests where they hunt and live. They used their strange legs to run away from enemies or to hunt.
Kloen live in deserts due to their head tails where they can stock food they are able live for a long time in the most extreme circumstances, they are also most known as explorers and many nations hire Kloen crews for expeditionary ships.

I was wondering if it could be possible to create a new task for fauna and flora in Eldonia, that would be fun.

PS: perhaps it's a good idea to make a database with all the idea's we already have and put it in the description so we have a clear view about what Eldonia already is.

Human: the human race gives three names: A first name, a middle name that is the fathers name (some nations use the mothers name), and a family name.
So a Human in Eldonia would be named: Liana Enarc Zion
As always the Odeseans like to be different: their naming system is like this: Family name and first name. Like this: Zion-Liana. It is NOT common to say the family name and the fist name as one name, but there are some exceptions. When the family name is like a first name or they mach really well together it can be said: Maria-Eva.

Elf: The Elves use a system rather similar to that of the Humans, but give the names of the parents as middle names. If the Elf is a girl the fathers name will come first if it's a boy the mothers name: Liana Enarc Nimmea Zion.

Prawd don't give fixed family names, the second name refers to what the person is in society: Liana y Ponope (she who thinks)
Oviously the Prawd give the second name after the woman becomes of age.

Dwarfs: the dwarfs tend to give one name at birth and then different surnames that change over time: Liana the Silent but after a year Liana With-the-Scar after an accident.

The Kloen: Like the elves and do the same as they do.

The Orcs: they give one name and where she come from: Liana qi Merixana (From Merixana)

Up for review

But that's isn't everything.
I had one of my late night idea's again, so I'll post it before I forget it.

Remember that volcano in the middle of the bay on the westeren continent? well since it's there so alone I thought giving it some extra mystery: every night at at midnight the moon Eclipsis will stand right above the volcano, thus making the mountain a holy place for many centuries, the whole volcanic island is covered with shrines and temples and the remainings of temples. It's also the only place where are in a good angle to see a small part of the moon lit up by the reflection of sunlight by the other Eldonian Moon, this astronomical event has firstly been noted by Mois-Kha a Prawd astronomer.
It takes place once in a complete year.
People tend to say that it was from the volcano, that has become known under the name Eclipsis' Arrow, that those who mastered Artistry went to Eclipsis.
Much isn't known about Eldonia yet between the most powerful of nations there's a race, not one for weapons but one for knowledge.
I'll continue this later...

I got same message today. These kind of spam messages are very suspicious, and annoying. Hopefully spam message senders like this, will get eliminated in Wreckamovie as fast as possible.
