The territory once known as Bakrasah encompasses a large amount of land between the area known as the Serpent Compact and that of Baddira. Situated on the coast of Avalon, Bakrasah was once a shining jewel of trade in the region, as well as a center of culture and civilization. Bakrasahni merchants were known for their shrewd but fair dealings, the minstrels sang songs of peace and harmony, and the threat of discord and war seemed remote.
Founded in the year 4ER (Evendarr Reckoning), the capital city of Mynea soon grew to bridge both banks of the mighty River Sah, and spawned several outlying communities, including the cities now called Alyria, Rathon, Gloomwood and Redmarch.
Unfortunately, as with many kingdoms over the centuries, this reign of peace would see an end - and almost 200 years later, the inhabitants of the once peaceful region are still at war. The five City-States now bicker over land, culture, and resources - with the lands outside of their direct control left to fester and rot in anarchy and madness.
The one safe haven in the sea of chaos is the small river-town of Drakesbridge, so named for the two bridges the town is built around. As the only remaining large bridges in the area, other than those internal to Mynea, these bridges, and the town that supports them, are vital to inter-city commerce and trade throughout the Old Kingdom.
Each City-State has sent representatives, of sorts, to Drakesbridge, to perform negotiations, sign treaties, and to insure the collective well-being of their cities - and of course, to do a little spying. The village of Drakesbridge itself has only recently come under the control of a being calls itself “Lord Law” who rules the city with an iron fist, in the name of peace.
