The Land of the Five Cities is well-irrigated land within the crescent of Falhaer and at the edge of the Esiran Desert. They haven’t been kind enough to tell me the name of their land in their own language. In fact, they’re rather stingy with their language altogether.
Political Structure[]
The Five Cities each have their own identity and nobles who aid in ruling over them, but they are all answerable to the King, who resides in the King's City. After the Thirty-Years War, the cities became factioned and were ruled by the Rebel Council, the Scavenge Guild, and a self-appointed popular ruler, Jent.
