Matlal is an ancient city located deep within the Kishahn jungle. It is the heart of the small kingdom of Citialin, which consists of Matlal and the three small villages that surround it. The kingdom is ruled by Charik, the naga god-king of the land. The surrounding three villages are governed by his younger siblings, two sisters and a brother who are viewed as lesser gods.
While called a kingdom, it's all really quite tiny and has no contact with the rest of the world.

Style
Because of the jungle's humidity, the people of Citialin dress sparsely. They favor brightly dyed fabrics in hues of red, yellow, and blue.
The Palace
Charik's palace is located on the outer edge of Matlal, half-hidden by the jungle. In ancient times it was a temple used for various religious ceremonies, but it was abandoned centuries ago. Several generations prior to Charik's rule, Charik's ancestors claimed the temple as their own, and it has been serving as their palace ever since.
The throne room is one of the largest chambers in the old temple and, at some point in history, it had been a space used for various rituals by its people. Charik's throne, situated near the back of the room, had once been a stone table used for sacrifices. Whether they were human sacrifices or animal, it's long since been forgotten, and any blood that had been spilled has long since been washed away. The table itself has been rebuilt to be given a throne-like shape, and its length is well suited for a naga body.
The rest of the palace is spacious with many different chambers, enough for each member of the harem to have a room of their own with plenty left to spare, not to mention a servant's quarters, storage rooms, kitchen, and bath house. Located at the rear of the temple is an open space, an indoor patio of sorts with a large, open skylight and a large pool beneath that is half-shaded by rocks and plants.
The Harem
Charik's harem follows a strict hierarchy, and those who rank below another member must do what that member says. The higher ranked a member, the more privileges they're granted. Currently, Isi is the head of the harem and, thus, the highest ranked member. His word is law.
The harem are all kept in the palace and may not leave it without permission from Isi. Technically, where one ranks in the harem depends on how favored they are by Charik, but because Isi runs the harem, a member's rank essentially depends on how well Isi likes them. He can either make their life wonderful and spoil them or make their life hell. While complaints against Isi's behavior can be brought to Charik, Isi has learned how to cry on command and blame it on the complainer.
Officially, harem members are not allowed to sleep with anyone outside of Charik unless he gives them permission, but Isi strongly encourages this behavior. Isi himself will often sleep with them if that will keep them out of Charik's bed. It must also be stressed that there are no wives, brides, or spouses in Charik's harem; they are all his lovers, but he is not married to any of them. There will also be no children born from any unions, as Charik is sterile. While he cannot have children, his heir will be chosen from any children his siblings produce and will be raised as his child.
The harem has free reign of the palace, and each member is given their own room for their privacy.
Currently, there are eight people in Charik's harem, men and women alike. He values beauty rather than sex or gender. While a number of his harem do frequent his bed, it is not a requirement and he would never force anyone. He values the company, companionship, and adoration as much as he values the pleasure.
Harem Members
A lazy naiad, Ziya spends 99% of his time in his pool, located in a large temple chamber. He never wears clothes except when forced for special occasions. He is morbidly vain and loves attention and compliments--which he also demands. He is intensely jealous of anyone who garners more attention than he does and he's prone to acts of cruelty in order to get attention, or eliminate competition. He has been known to drown servants that he felt were too beautiful. Technically, Ziya ranks high on the harem ladder as one of the oldest members--but as he isolates himself, his rank doesn't really matter.
Blurb goes here!
