Kardavia



Kardavia borders the entire Eastern side of the grand continent of Tieres. It is located East of the wilds of Raelbuck, and South of cultural powerhouse that is Ospen. Kardavia is a tribute to modernity and boasts sprawling cities and large towns, with a government that is an oligarchy that disguises itself as a monarchy. Kardavia also hosts a well-known range of artificial mountains that is home to a family of immensely deadly dragons. The immense river which cuts through the country has been a major raft-based trade route with some even some intelligent water-based beings engaging in trade near the ocean.

Kardavia's richest families live in prominence throughout the country and vie for total control. Some of the largest families include the Gharret family, suppliers of mercenaries and the unofficial army of the country, the Beckett family, a powerful family of mages after which the capitol city was named, the Venizzio family, a merchant family well established in trade, the Champagne family, the well-off suppliers of fine wines to the country, and the Gonghammer clan, a tight-knit family of dwarves with close ties to seemingly all of Kardavia's rather substantial dwarven population.
