Tal'Dorei

Tal’Dorei Reborn

20 years have passed since Vox Machina slew the Chroma Conclave banished Vecna yet much of Tal’Dorei is already returning to prosperity. Major cities like Westruun and Emon are especially fortunate, for the vast amounts of wealth plundered from the dragons’ ancient hoards have allowed them to hire legions of arcanists to magically restore much of what was lost. Tal’Dorei is on the road to recovery, but all is not well. The newly-formed Republic of Tal’Dorei finds itself increasingly indebted to the mages who facilitated Emon’s rebirth, and there is worry that the fledgling Republic will crumble under the pressure. Beyond Emon, Westrunn has seen a dramatic explosion of feywild activity while the landscape of Tal’Dorei has been forever scarred by the presence of the Conclave, especially the Cinder King. His hellfire left marks on Tal’Dorei that will never heal magical wounds that bleed fire and ooze chaotic magic. Smaller cities beyond the reach of the Council have begun to succumb to sinister influences. The Betrayer Gods sense weakness within the world. The Prime Deities tense beyond the Divine Gate and the most reverent of the Gods can almost feel their dieties bated breath. It is akin to the sensation of knowing something is coming but you aren't sure what. The possibilities are what scare the gods most, however powerful their influence may be. As the nation still recovers in many ways from all the atrocities of its recent years, the call for new heroes to take up the mantle of responsibility has become more poignant than ever before.

Structure

Republic: Council Members representing the greater cities across the continent balance the fate of Tal'Dorei.

Public Agenda

Rebuild. Even after 20 years of work, much of the nations cities and landscapes still require repair and regeneration. The call regularly goes out for those proficient with the arcane arts to continue repairing the scarred landscape and rebuilding as much of civilization as it can.

Religion

Matt mercer describes his pantheon in his books, more details to come: basically the prime deities, lesser deities and betrayer gods (generally Faeruns gods are represented, see DM for questions/requests about options if you don't see something suitable.)
But duh worship the Traveler. He's like super cool, yo. 8==D

Foreign Relations

Open trade/peace time with Wildemount(the council is at this point keenly vigilant of the current cease-fire between the Dewendalian Empire and Krynn Dynasty but maintain neutrality on the distant war). The same holds for the further distant nations of Marquet and Issylra, Neutrality and open trade is encouraged at this time to better aid the Tal'Dorei people in rebuilding so much of what had been destroyed.

Agriculture & Industry

With the discovery of black powder and the influence of ingenious inventors, industrial machinery is beginning to appear in its infantile forms. The first clocktower of its kind is nearly finished in Whitestone, flying ships are becoming common place across Tal'Dorei, and many other wondrous magics are being applied to every day life in amazing ways.
Residuum has also become a large influence on industry and invention in general as many use it to power their devices.

Trade & Transport

Standard maritime boats & ships, with beast of burden drawn caravans to take goods inland. While still uncommon, flying Airships have established trade routes between the larger cities and tradehubs. A single steam powered locomotive is being built in Emon to run from one end of Tal'Dorei to the other to increase trade and boost the economy but it remains incomplete, no tracks have been laid at all.
