Cagosia
Cagosia is one of the most recent countries to have formed, it's lands originally filled with various clans under different banners, each of them struggling to live in the war torn lands that were the battle grounds of Alunis and Shia. Many attempts had been made to unite them in the past, either through diplomacy or force, noticeable attempts being those made by Lathan the Wise and Galathor the Wide.
However, none of these attempts were successful until Melanor Cago, with a combination of strength, diplomacy and intelligence, was able unite the warring clans under the banner of the White Tree of the Fog Lands. However, with all those who had any hints of magic within them being taken by either Alunis or Shia, they had no way to combat the Necromancers of Alunis or the Ice Mages of Shia.
Thus, Melanor gathered all of the alchemists in the land to come up with a way to combat this threat. In the meantime, various alchemists and enchanters worked together to create simple automatons that could shore up their numbers and make up for their disadvantages. Years later, when the alliance between the clans seemed to be at its breaking point, an alchemist by the name of Salanthor was able to create an oil that was highly reactive to magic, but didn't react at all to normal means of igniting it.
Using this oil, now named Salanthor Oil, they were able to dip their arrows into it, slip it into the supplies of the enemy and even launch barrels of the oil into the enemy. With both of Cagosias enemies realizing that moving through their lands was more trouble than it was worth, the stopped invading Cagoisa, and looked for other means to wage war.
The clans now united under one banner, gathered in Temmesburgh to decide on what to do. There they declared their loyalty to Melanor, and with it founded the country of Cagosia.
