Nation background
T'rywu:
The nation of T'rywu is split up into 8 claimed lands as well as an area of the nation that is currently too dangerous to be inhabited by any human. There are also 2 off shore islands that are claimed under the nation of T'rywu Cssisthi being the smaller island located in the northwest. The Scarlet Monastery occupies the southeastern island and has blocked it's borders to the nation. The nation originally started as 7 claimed lands until the ruler of Anert was assassinated by an unknown Cssisthian monk and has been under civil war since.
Anert is now split into 2 different colonies that have an ever changing middle border.
Grutn is the most barbaric of the colonies and often is a source of theivery and other activity normally considered outlawed in T'rywu. Many mercenaries are able to call that colony "home". Dwasq's land is barely able to sustain life for extended periods of time, there is only 1 claimed city in the colony, Degret'. Degret' is the capitol of the colony and has a population of 3,324. Nothing else can be said about this colony. Jyul has a desert climate and doesn't have much in terms of resources. Many abandoned temples and catacombs lay in this wasteland, however, most mercenaries who can't find work in Grutn end up scavenging these ruins.
Jyul is also the only landlocked colony in the nation.
Rivwar bases it's economy on the hunting in the unclaimed land. Most who call this colony home end up moving to Grutn when they no longer feel a rush in hunting animals in the northern lands.
Qugrt is a ship port colony and not much more. Many of the patrons to the pubs and brothels in this colony are considered pirates by most folk. With that said, the colony does quite well due to the taxes placed on the ships that dock there.
Finally, the Greater Land of T'rywu is the nation capitol, as well as the burial place of the hero T'rywu. T'rywu is said to have sunken the legendary city of Ryleh with his final blow to the Elder God Cthulhu. Shortly after his victory, he was murdered by a group of cultists. Those cultists are said to still live in the unclaimed land.
Cssisthi:
This island is dedicated to the Elder Serpent God Cssisth. The monks here are only seen in folk tales. Common folk have sworn that they have seen the monks turn into serpents themselves during their battles. Nobody has returned from the island of Cssisthi with the same level of sanity.
Scarlet Monastery:
The Scarlet Monastery is dedicated to two Gods that they view have a pact with each other and are nothing without the other; Zehir and the Raven Queen. They have a distorted view on death and view every aspect (forced and unforced) as a natural and fated death. With that in mind, they share no fear for what comes after and accept it as all is woven within the strings of fate. With this said, most of the Avengers from this monastery end up as Assassins and perhaps will stoop as low as hired assassins. They do not view themselves as evil due to their belief with how the fate of life works. The monastery as sworn an oath against the cult of Orcus as they see the Demon Prince as a God who toys with the strings of fate by creating undead souls and the likes. They also have a mutual respect for the Cssisthi monks and many a times create pacts with them depending on the situation.
