Independent Union

This union is a loose one. It covered nearly ten islands both big and small and nearly thirty cities, towns and villages. They set themselves apart from the Brethren of the Isles and have withstood both piratical and imperial invasion since the war began.
Evelo Lavern is their greatest benefactor and without his support the entire union would crumble. If the name Lavern sounds familiar it's because he is the greatest merchant this side of the world. His Silverlit Trading Company stretches far beyond the sea for which it's named for. Why he sinks his money into the Independent Union is beyond me. Maybe he just likes playing king.
