Zeleny

Capital: Old Yotun

Located on the Coast of the Ninigione sea

Home Country of: Bryant Cloth, Morticia Cloth, Amity, Ratican the Grey

Zeleny is cold most of the year, shrouded in forests of black pines. Boasts both powerful cities & simple farming towns. Mountains to the north: coasts to the south. Its southern beaches are a lot like Wales: cold, dry, not sexy Florida beaches.

Old Yotun is one of the oldest cities in the world: incredible infrastructure, powerful government, great postal service. Think Amsterdam but medieval and covered in piss. However, Old Yotun is still a pretty good place to live. Good city infrastructure, few wars, hub for international trade.

Powers at play:
 * Friends of Eda: local thieves’ guild! You wouldn’t say ‘thieves’ guild’ or call somebody a thief, you’d call each other a ‘friend’. Big, powerful, loose conglomeration w far-reaching connections to other countries. Very in-the-loop with other areas. Eda is an infamous folk hero & trickster who committed various impossible deeds.
 * Yharrish Council: local government council! Not elected: nobles, descendants of original warlords, etc. Predictably shitty. Local cops are the Yharrish Guard, etc.
 * Trades Guild: nobles who control local agriculture & trades.
 * The Post: the mail is really important here! Trade, communication & connection to the outside world is everything: thus, the mail is incredibly controlled & reliable. The Post regulates all highways & crushes any delivery competitors & discourages all non-Post travel.
 * Morgenhaal: They’re like the Post, but evil! Or rather, more murder-oriented! An underground-railroad of a black market: they travel fast, they kill often, and they’re either reliable or they’re instantly murdered by Morgenhaal higher-ups. All Morgenhaal couriers are considered A. friends of Eda, and B. total badasses. Morgenhaal convoys are one of the safest & stealthiest ways to travel, if you can afford it.

Zeleny’s northern neighbors in the nation-states of Iarris are a constant bother. Small wars constantly break out: thus Zeleny’s Northern borders are always being re-drawn.
