A matriarchal nation with a special bond with animals (particularly, giant birds) and reside in the sky, which is why it is called, the City of the Sky.

Similar to Sasan Kingdom, the country was surrounded with difficult terrains, it can only be reached by foot by travelers. But for the Artemyra people, they can travel within the country or outside world via giant birds.
