Volya
A large realm of, predominantly Humans on the border of Elysium’s southern pole, the people of Volya are used to hardships. Arriving from a migration of humans that originally lived along the coast of Olifia well over 1,500 years ago, the Volyans face down the threats of Elven imperial expansion to the north and the encroaching White Death to the south. On paper, Volya is ruled by the great Dragon Vozhd, who faces down his brother Draug, leader of the White Death’s advance. However in reality Vozhd’s eternal war against Draug prevent him from true governance, and as a result the realm is split between various divided and warring factions, such as the Boyarin of Zelenorino, the Witches of Zlashny, and Deathless Kochei of Novotrionsky. These warring factions frequently conflict with one another, despite professing theoretical fealty to Vozhd, however when Volya’s existence is threatened by one of their external adversaries, they band together for common cause.
