Desvla
A Country Open To All...
Desvla is a smaller country on the Desvlan peninsula, a peninsula sticking out the south east end of Kojark. A country built on freedom and equality the country accepts any who enter it, offering refuge for those who are prejudiced against such as Goblins, Drow, and Orcs as well as offering a home for those who wish for a simple, free life. If one wants a life that they, and only they, control then Desvla is most likely the place to live.Structure
Desvla is built upon equality, which results in the country having minimal titles. Besides the Queen there is the Council of the People, a group of 9 individuals who assist the Queen in her duties. The Councils members are changed every 10 years and during a councils term none of the members are revealed. Members have ranged from farmers from the smallest settlements to high nobles over the years.
Culture
The people of Desvla are a people of freedom. Since 450 the country has been open to all races and creatures, as long as they do not cause trouble they are welcome in the country. However the people of Desvla are also a superstitious people. Due to many towns being off the main road, or off the map altogether, Desvlans are not the most informed about the country and the rest of the world, ask a Kenku in Tombstone, the furthest town from the capital, about the Queen and you'll get a completely different answer than a Drow who lives in Hamis, the capital in the northern part of Desvla where the queen resides.
Due to the rarity of new faces many Desvlans are suspicious or curious when they meet someone knew, however very rarely does this suspicion last as Desvlans are very quick to learn new things and accept those who they meet.

Public Agenda
In 450, 54 years after Desvla had been founded, a new King had risen to power named Drad. At the time Desvla was still a small settlement, barely even recognized by many as a country, which has led to records of Drad being vague at best. Although his race and age are unknown one thing that has survived the test of time is the legend of how he opened the borders of Desvla to all. What at first was seen as an act of geopolitical suicide instead transformed Desvla into a place where creatures of all shapes and sizes would escape to find a good life.
To this day the public agenda of Desvla has stayed the same: Anyone is Welcome. Desvla allows any creature to enter the country, a common saying being "Once you step on Desvla you're a Desvlan". Desvla will not tolerate any person or organization stopping those from entering their borders, however they will return criminals who are attempting to flee justice. This is align with their other main belief: if you caus troubel you will be dealt with. Desvla has very lax rules when it comes to most crime, most crimes are to be handled by the people, but the act of murder has a very strict sentence: Banishment or Death.
