Klomellien
Klomellien is not a unified country but rather it is made up of eleven autonomous citystates, which unite against externat threats. The unity comes from tradition and necessity rather than any resemblance of coherency. The city states are consistently trying to dominate each other so small bush wars are a regular thing.
- Mercana: Mercana is at present the largest and most influental of the city states. Its power comes from its location on the outflow of the river Maure, close to Magilre. All trade from the upstream the river and out to the rest of the world must pass through Mercana. Mercana are ruled by a trade council in which the nine most influental families are represented.
- Hamur: Large silver mine and minor gemstones.
- New Arno: Oligarky. Follows The shining path from Caddo, but do not condemn magic.
- Addaskia: Monarchy. Pearl fishing. The shining path. The king is the sole ruler.
- Yolev: Monarchy. The shining path. The oldest city, founded by the old Imperium Jorpagnia. No trade with the other city states, but also no wars with any of them.
- Triska: Oligarki. Aesir. Constant internal power strife.
- Sanzas: No religion. Mayor and council. Vote every five years. Many halflings.
