Baknland Region - The Southbound Union.
The Baknland is a small but important area to the League, not only for it’s rich trade with neighbouring countries but for the great skyfoundry which provides it with the vital engines for the airships that have long given the league supremacy. For the rest of the Baknlands are either the mountains Akelth and the wasteland of Casterna.
The Tribes in the Baknlands once fought and killed one another for what sparce resources they had, and access to the ancient foundry, it is said that until the wanderer came, the wanderer brought peace to the clans, by assembling them at the foot of the foundry and taught them that by working together they could reap much greater rewards, the wanderer taught them of a wider world, they find and explorer, it implored them to see the world and embrace it.
Or so is the story behind the first tribal gathering, which since those long days became the Jarnira Republic, which would subsequently be consumed by the inexorable march of the league. With one of the tribes the Akelth, a tribe that had migrated away from their northern cousins some time ago.
While the tribes in the Casterna wasteland had little contact with their brethren of the Akelth, long claiming that they were banished by them, but in this day such ancient hate has turned instead to an intense rivalry between the two provinces.
Most in the Baknland work in the air fleet to one degree or another, many living the great trade companies the fly across the world to discover and map all the strange sights and peoples they may encounter, trading what wares they find along the way, establishing long term trade contracts to ensure influx of exoctic wares be transported back home and to the rest of the league.
Structure
