‎　‎Much like the Canzians, the Lovalians are a fracture from the ancient Tok people, who longed for adventure and the desire to find a new more suitable land to call home. The Lovalians settled in the tranquil yet blustery mountain valleys and peaks of the northern lands, where peace and prosperity could be found for the people looking to escape civil unrest.

　‎　‎Lovalians enjoy peace and solitude, having developed a rich system of philosophy and rhetoric that deeply penetrates their culture. These traditions date back to the ancient kingdom of Lovalia, founded by a great warrior monk king, before his kingdom came down in disrepair after his death and the collapse of the now Chilly Cliffs. This king famously completed the Pilgrimage of all 12 Beanut Temples during his youth, and his endless journey for self improvement and enlightenment still influences the culture to this day. Amongst the Lovalians, the idea of perfect enlightenment and personal oneness is a highly regarded status.
　‎　‎Lovalian culture has a strong connection to the natural world and totemic spirits, believing that within each individual lives a wild animal spirit that guides and enhances each person. It is common to find collections of carved totems at holy sites and communities that share animal identities. A traditional rite of passage amongst the Lovalians includes exploring out into the wilds to find a tree that matches one’s own spirit. From this tree the first personal totem is carved, the true sign of adulthood. The remaining sections of the tree are replanted in a grove and tended for, it is believed that the health of this grove strongly influences the power of one’s totem. Most Lovalians have little interest in dealing with other peoples and less interest in spending time in the “lowlands”. Neither treasure nor glory is enough to lure them from their community; a dire threat to their people, a mission of enlightenment, or a catastrophe typically lies at the heart of the Lovalian adventurer’s chosen path. For Lovalians equality is important, competition exists only when it is supported by a level playing field. Competition measures talent, dedication, and effort. Those factors determine survival in their home territory, not reliance on magic items, money, or other elements that can tip the balance one way or the other.
