The Free Cities of Kanver The Free Cities of Kanver
In-game Description
A federation of neighboring independent city-states located to the southeast of the Dhalmekian Republic. While originally part of Dhalmekia, the cities achieved their independence in the year 857, hoping to step away from the republic’s internal struggles and focus instead on the commerce upon which their prosperity had been built. Political power currently resides with a council of guildmasters—prominent Kanverian traders and craftspeople. The lack of a Dominant or a Mothercrystal to covet, along with its considerable financial resources, allows Kanver to retain both its independence and neutrality in the face of considerable turmoil elsewhere. As such, it lacks a standing army, the defense of its walls having been relegated to a small, yet well-trained, city guard.
Following the Waloeder Invasion
A federation of neighboring independent city-states located in the southeastern part of the continent of Storm. While originally part of Dhalmekia, the cities achieved their independence in the year 857. Kanver lacks an army of its own, and relies instead on a city guard formed of mercenaries hired by its merchants and tradespeople. Unfortunately, the city guard, and indeed the city itself, were decimated in an attack by Akashic Waloeder troops in 878. Having lost its political leaders and the bulk of its citizenry, the Free Cities ceased at that point to be a nation in any meaningful sense.
