The economic ties of the League and the more open foreign policy of the empire is generally lacking in the Confederation.
Member States
Kingdom of Melstrain - The traditional home of the dracomorphs, Melstrain is one of the few non-western Nyrellan nations. The often mild mannered peoples of Melstrain are known for their openness and hospitality, almost more so than their ability to transform into dragons.
Kingdom of Yespela - This southwestern Volesian nation has always been in the shadow of its nation, Otren. Fiercely animist, the farmers and sailors of the nation are known to be some of the most spiritual and passionate, but also the most fearful of the outside world. Even its learned elites are anxious of potential influence from foreigners.
Republic of Gibroar - A close ally of Yespela, the second largest nation of Terrakai acts as a buffer between the animist east and Nyrellan west. Itself a predominantly animist nation, it’s only marginally more moderate than Yespela, and shares a similar fear of its traditions being undermined should Nyrellanism spread.
Republic of Daslea - Daslea is known for being a center of culture in the middle ages, as well as the birthplace of the world’s most popular styles of swordplay, collectively known as the Sixfold Path. Daslea is the youngest republic in the world, only abandoning its monarchy around 1000 RD.
Republic of Acroton - A dominant force on the world stage in the late 800s RD. Defeated in a war instigated by dictator Jeremy Reiner and absorbed into the Confederation. In the modern day, Acroton struggles to remain relevant, and its people live quiet lives.
Republic of Otren - The de facto leader of the Confederation, which rose to prominence in the 900s as the rest of the alliance recovered from Reiner’s War and the so-called Republican Wave of the latter years of the previous century. Led by a strong central government, the nation acts as a bulwark against influence from the empire, with Estary a short distance away.
Republic of Goengyi - An emerging economic powerhouse, and one of the birthplaces of Spiritism, a religion blending Nyrellanism and animism. Once part of Otren, and still sharing a land border with it, the people of the city-state are often fearful that the much larger nation might take some sort of action against them.
