Adversary Kingdoms

The Adversary Kingdoms are a collection of nations and tribal communities in the south-western badlands of Nythlaang populated by violent and anti-social species prone to conflict and conquest. Mostly made up of smaller war bands, the Adversary Kingdoms periodically come under the sway of a powerful warlord or conquerer king and invade the merchant cities to the north or outlying principalities of the Holy Platinum Empire to the east.

Structure

By their very nature the Adversary kingdoms vary with each season as to their structure outside of a few city states who have established themselves as permanent fixtures, such as Pytharna and Halfling Stew Port.

History

The Adversary Kingdoms have existed since the arrival of the species that make them up during the Second Seeding. Expeditions from many civilizations have failed to purge the region of the threat.
Despite the lawlessness of the Adversary Kingdoms, there are a couple of settlements that have persisted through the centuries. These include Pytharna, a city state ruled by hobgoblins that trains and hires out its troops as mercenaries to the other kingdoms. Pytharna profits greatly off the lawlessness of the region while itself being a bastion of structure and law. Halfling Stew Port is a pirate haven known for preying upon the halfling mercantile fleets along the western coast, the famed orcish buccaneer Gorbad Twoeyes founded the settlement four hundred years ago using the wealth of his many trophies and skills as a gourmet master when it came to cooking halflings.

Strength is the only true virtue.
