Drasinese Theocracy
Following the mass expulsions from the Principality of Merriton, the expelled “heretics” formed their own refugee state on the coast of Lakes Ghotlevein and Sleetwall. With relaxed laws, negligible tax, and a focus on martial ability rather than theological, they soon gained a sizable following. Martial ability was soon the focal point of the Drasinese nation, following successes in capturing territory from native tribes and those who would not willingly kneel. A legacy and reputation of genocide, cruelty, and carnage was established, similar to Sparta and Mongolia’s exploits in our world. But, for those willing to kneel, lucrative economic opportunities presented themselves from the poorly governed state. Traditional crime was almost non existent, to avoid the wrath of the Horde’s cruel militias. However, white collar crime was rampant, as government officials were often corrupt, and filling coffers daily as a result of winning conflict after conflict. In recent times, following a drought in conflict and economic opportunity, the Theocracy forged documents claiming land in the Principality of Merriton, allowing for conflict to arise once again. The war has been bloody, lasting for a few years, and resulting in the deaths of many. Scorched earth has destroyed much fertile land, limiting economic growth for the Horde, leading to stagnation and malcontent among government officials. Taxes are light for citizens of the Horde, and with crime low, is a common destination for those looking to make an honest living, or start a new life. Or, for those crafty enough, to make a fortune.
