==Keren==

Where Duatin Erethol and Tomanda turned their backs on the ways of ancient Gavilan, Keren has always held itself as the true successor to that great empire.  They seek to emulate Gavilan in every way possible and try and recapture it’s former power.  As such they pump a great deal of funds into architecture, education, road maintenance and the other things the king considers to be “civilized”.  The result is that Keren, of all the Three Countries, has a common populace most heavily taxed and suppressed.  The peasant’s life in Keren is a hard one and a thankless one and many visitors to the country have wondered whether they wouldn’t prefer their money to be spent on irrigation and medicine.

Keren is not as military-focussed as Duatin Erethol.  The biggest threat to Kerenese safety comes from the seas as both vicious Suderax raiders, more locally reared pirates and aboleth and sahaugin mean the coastal regions of Keren must be constantly watchful for danger.
