Tsagdan Republics

The Tsagdan Republics, sometimes known as the Silk Cities, are a cluster of independent and semi-independent city states occupying the Tsagdan plateau. Populated predominantly by Orcs, Rockfolk and Dark Elves, but with significant minorities from all corners of Ezevria, the Republics are known for their cosmopolitan makeup, their relative tolerance for freedom of expression, and their general dislike of external authority. In times of crisis, such as during the last vampiric invasion, the Republics have banded together in military leagues led by the larger states, such as Caraćav and Beyohrid, but in peacetime they are rarely united by any singular pact or alliance: some pledge tribute or allegiance to more powerful republics, and some to larger empires, though most are largely self-governing

The Republics are a conduit of terrestrial trade, linking Erythria and the Alvish Empire to the lands of the Kobolds, the Oxmen and the Saelanis. They are also a melting pot of religious and linguistic influences, and equally a country of exiles as much as one of merchants.
