Under
the good government sense of the Silver Dragons, Zlaghinova has become
one of the strongest (at least economically-speaking) nations in all of
Qur-tayn. The country is roughly divided into four different areas:
-
the
western and northwestern coastal towns & cities
with
larger Human populations of strong fishing and
farming communities
-
the
NE to SW central mountain cities with larger Gloridian
populations and an emphasis on mining (iron in the north and silver in the central mountains)
-
the
eastern mountains, hills and meadows occupied by the
Rovania -- nomadic groups of Humans and Gloridians
living together off of the land
-
the
central mountains where the Silver Dragons lair -- the
capital of Tenegra also has a larger Dragon
population, but they are still far outnumbered by
Gloridians there
The
Treaty of Reems was a document signed centuries ago
between the Karboten neighbors to the east of this
southern city, and binds Zlaghinova and Anaptun Abra
together against their mutual enemies. Jinatra also signed
the treaty, having
great respect for the Karboten.
The
most recent threat, however, has been a steady push of
Ursags moving NE from Murduk. About 50 years ago, these
strange, purple bear creatures suddenly attacked the once
prosperous fishing town of Phalaethes. Because of its
location, there was no way for Zlaghinova to send troops
in time, and the city was abandoned overnight. Outpost
Priam was built to keep an eye on Ursag advances and it
would appear that they are not interested in leaving the
mountains. It is quite possible, however, that their
advances may lead them east to Ghaas.
