Vanguards of DemocracySince our founding we have always stood as the most stalwart guardians of freedom within the islands. From rebelling against the hegemons of Kovdazar, repelling and hunting the Tyrant Queen, and containing the warmongers of Vahjevgiiv, we are truly the bulwark of the people.

Hired GuardsRather than subject our own people to the horrors of war, we have always used our great wealth to either hire mercenaries or buy out incoming armies. Though this may not have saved us from the barbarians of Vahjevgiiv, this was clearly due to us not spending enough on hired blades.

Pride of the BrightmarchQarshtuluu is the greatest city in the islands, having once claimed dominion over a great stretch of land known as the Brightmarch, stretching from Länkuuhsta in the north to Yizuqkeyil in the south.
