Havil

The Infernal Republic

The Havilan Republic is a relatively new polity on the continent formed as a confederation of city-states in the region of Havil. Originally part of of the Corcien, Tieflings fleeing persecution from the neighbouring kingdoms had been gathering in these free cities for a century. Thirty years ago, they proclaimed a republic of free cities led by elected Mayors and Burgomeisters. In the ensuing revolutionary war, the Tieflings eventually won their freedom. 

Devilish Customs

Tieflings are distrusted and shunned by the other nations. In Havil, they have a chance to develop their own culture. At present the country is uniquely cosmopolitan, as it is a melting-pot of Tieflings from all over the continent. The devil-folk have already become famous as skilled bards, and, owing to the maritime placement of the region, skilled navigators and sailors.

Independent Diplomacy

Neighboring nations treat them with a degree of suspicion, compounded by the public support for the Redemptionists.. As such the cities of Havil have been forced to take a fiercely independent stance, focusing on autonomy and naval power.
