Free City of Erdestan
Erdestan is a territory inhabited by Garowian, but independent of both the Kingdom of Bodrumstan and the Grand Duchy of Orenil. The reason for the split is attributable to the wizard Orson Dee, who was the first lord of Erdestan. Dee was a were-lion who assumed the appearance of a thick-maned white lion.
For the Garowians the personification of the goddess Arva is precisely the White Lion and for many Garowians Dee was the first Avatar of Arva. Within a short time, news of Dee's miracles and his power as a charmer convinced many Garowians to follow him. His military might grew enormously, allowing him to invade and capture the cities that now form Erdestan's territory.
