The Summer Hall fills the large southern quadrant of the Queendom. Nearly every acre is put to use, either producing food, training and housing the nation’s military, or crafting the tools and materials that keep the nation functioning. The Miirfolk who dwell here are driven, working their hardest to build a prosperous life, protect their nation, and become the best versions of themselves that they can. They are often seen as fiery and passionate, but they also firmly believe in the need for discipline to keep such emotions from causing harm to others or themselves.
Every Miirfolk visits the Summer Hall’s Honing Grounds at some point in their lives during their mandatory National Commission, though whether they stay there afterwards is an open question. The region’s economy is devoted to feeding the rest of the nation and to ensuring that the Queen’s armies are ready and able to respond to any threat that should arise; the Queen’s Roads and Summertide Locks are some of the most impressive examples of civil engineering on the Continent, all in service of ensuring that the troops can get to where they need to be as quickly as possible.
Though much of the Hall’s economy and culture is dedicated to its martial purposes, the Miirfolk who dwell there are not afraid of cutting loose when the opportunity arises and there are no pressing reasons against it. The temperate months are spent working hard to ensure that the crops come in and that the walls, roads, and locks are in good repair, but in the late autumn and winter the mood of the Hall becomes much more festive. Summer Hall parties are raucous things, as the community lets loose and rewards themselves for a solid day’s work. When there’s time and no other demands on the Locks, communities will set up waterslide races down the canals, and the southernmost communities will often hold diving competitions off of the southern cliffs into the ocean.
