Notes: The Free Islands are not a country, but are actually a large collection of islands with cities and small towns that have formed a sort of confederation for defense and trade purposes. Each city and town has its own government. There is no real military, but a number of the cities and towns have a warship or two, and people who can be counted on to fight if needed. There is no written agreement of any kind, just a long standing tradition of mutual defense. This unwritten agreement can be traced back as far as 870 Eighth Age, possibly as a reaction to the founding of Calendriahn and the growing power of Biru.
