Marches of Ryfile
The Marches of Ryfile are one of three sister nations who share the continent of Ryold. It is 25, 000 m2 in area, and is located on the southern third of the continent. It shares borders with Risand and Ranoke, and maritime borders with the Mare'n and Delryn. The capital city is Redarin.
The people of Ryfile can be divided into three primary ethnic groups. The Marchians are one, while the Marelis with whom they share their continent and waterways can usually be classified as Common or Deep Sea.
Population Centers
As a society with a lot of emphasis placed on waterways and trade, most of the large towns and cities are found on coasts, shores, rivers, or along particularly large streams. Smaller inland settlements are rarely larger than a small village or a couple of families. The capitol is called Redarin. Languages

It also contains the Rshya river which runs from Lake Reyim to Lake Rage as well as about half of Raues, which runs from Lake Ruiet to Lake Rage. Climate and Biomes
The biome of Ryfile is mainly wetlands, grasslands, and mixed forests.
Ryfile experiences four seasons, but not a huge range of temperatures. They have fairly mild summers, rarely experiences temperatures above 70*, but also mild winters, which rarely fall below the low 30s. They are more likely to categorize their seasons by the weather and growth patterns - a 12-week Flood season when the temperatures are the coolest and the wetlands, lakes, and rivers are the highest, a 6-week Sea-Storm season while temperatures are rising, a 22-week warm and mild grazing season, and a 12-week rainy season as cool weater returns.
Ryfile is an Oligarchy controlled by a ruling family. Those who are more closely related to the ruler of the province hold more power, while those whose families are further removed have little power.
Foreign Relations
Together with Ranoke and Risand, Ryfile forms a Confederation. They are at odds with the Empire and its vassals, and fairly neutral towards everyone else. Economy
The nations on Ryold have a thriving export business of peat, salt, and fish and other agricultural harvests. Their people are often quite skilled mariners and they are in high demand in shipping and trade operations worldwide.
