The current Laidean States are mostly populated by the remnants of the Urbanus as the they fled north from the invading Keltoi, where they settled on the banks of the White River and built a series of villages that over time developed into the small cities surrounded by farmlands, wilderness and the occasional monstrous settlement that exists today. While sharing cultural roots, and the river as the main tradin thoroughfare through the region, the city states enjoy complete autonomy and each posses their own law, traditions and idiosyncrasies. | The current Laidean States are mostly populated by the remnants of the Urbanus as the they fled north from the invading Keltoi, where they settled on the banks of the White River and built a series of villages that over time developed into the small cities surrounded by farmlands, wilderness and the occasional monstrous settlement that exists today.

Laideanns follow a monotheistic and enigmatic god named Talus. He (though actually the god is seen as possessing both male and female traits) is a distant and non-interventionist deity who speaks solely through those with enough faith, or those who are high enough in the Church structure. His dicta and laws are not overly strict, though they have been construed as such, most notably by the Knights of the Gallows. Their holy writ, a code called ''The Dictates of Talus'' is a weighty tome barely understood by anyone outside the Laideann lands, and not all within as it is written in Old Laideann and has never been translated. This of course is where the vast majority of misunderstandings and misapplications stem from. Still, most Laideanns follow the rituals and pay them the required lip service, even if only for tradition's sake. | Laideanns follow a monotheistic and enigmatic god named Talus.
