The New House of SilmunaIn the wake of the Lilac Wars, our house has emerged supreme in the West Dameshead area after our victory over old Dameria. Unlike our imperial forebears, we are more accepting of our distant kin and must strengthen ties with them to build the greatest dynasty in Anbennar.

The Western MarchWith the end of the Warlord Period and the founding of Anbennar, the Marquisate of Wesdam was founded to protect the western edge of the empire from Lorent and the threats beyond. Many of the battles of the Lilac Wars took place here, and our people have grown hardy and used to life at the borders.

The First Standing ArmyAs a frontier state, Wesdam is always the first to see combat and the last to see it end. Necessity has birthed the foundation of Cannor's first professional standing army since the days of the Old Empire, as seasonal militia were tried and found wanting in the constant battles waged on Wesdamerian soil.

Bridge from East to WestOur strategic position between the Imperial Heartlands and Lorent ensures that any meeting between the two must inevitably take place within our grounds. This has given us some degree of diplomatic leverage we can use against both nations.

Little AnbenncóstWesdam's close proximity to the imperial metropolis of Anbenncóst has led to the formation of a number of merchant enclaves being set up along the Wesdamerian coast. Their close relationship with the city has led to an influx of trade through our ports.

Damesteeth PatrolThe Damesteeth Patrol was founded by Marquis Laurens I Silmuna as a maritime defense force meant to secure the lucrative Damesteeth passage from pirates and deter smugglers. Equipped with small, swift galleasses, these hardy seamen would be useful in more aggressive ventures...

The Moon and Rose SocietyOur regular contact with Lorent has inspired some of our nobility to adopt some features of the Lorentish intelligentsia, namely the formation of literary societies. The Moon and Rose Society is the most prestigious of the native Wesdamerian societies, and has long attracted the finest thinkers in the realm to our court.
