Adventures in the Distal Provinces: Gazetteer

[Back to Main Page]

Distal Province of Moundan

Last holdout of the Empire in this faraway land

The Imperial Province of Moudan claims to be the sole legitimate government here. But since they're beset by invading Orcs while wanting to reconquer the breakaway provinces, they've had to accept all the help they can get. So the Governor will turn a blind eye to Orcs in the military, Dwarves in the crafter's guilds, and wizards whose orthodoxy is questionable--as long as they pay lip service in their loyalty to the Emperor. A variety of people will show up here seeking opportunities. Plus, this is the starting point for the road to the Empire--and is the first place to receive what little imports trickle in from the east.

Principality of Malan

A breakaway province of aristocrats who claim to be the legitimate heirs of the Empire

Oceanic Republic of Loshiria

Wealthy ship captains who threw off the yoke of the absentee Emperor

The Oceanic Republic of Loshira has given up any pretense of being part of the Empire and view Matan and Moudan as collapsing relics. They are sea-facing, so get a lot of visitors by ship from all over the Distal Provinces and even places off the map. Plus they are the buffer between Matan and Moudan, so they get a lot traffic that way, especially since the Orcs are taking control of the northern roads that used to connect the Aristocrats with the Governor.
