***OLDER ART! REPOSTING HERE AS THIS ACCOUNT IS STILL NEW***

Despite being one of the most powerful countries in all on Mayoniki, Maedori is still a small sky country with limited space. Instead of burying their dead they burn them. Lower class citizens get make shift pyres while nobles get permanent, familial pyres. After all, Maedori is the land of the rising flames.

Similar to the one I did with Siku, I decided to do some more world building with Phoenix. To me, burying people on a sky island makes no sense, especially a small one. You're just gonna run out of room eventually. The pyres also tie into the mythology of Maedori too, since their goddess is considered the original Phoenix, which... Phoenix Ambrosia here is named after.
