Xenphenia

Removed from most of "civilized" Malatoria, the small country of Xenphenia is a nation of survivors who don't always play nicely with others. They have a long history of sanctioned privateering from their port capital of Telak-Arrosh, as well as sending raiding parties out to rob caravans and anyone else they can find in the wildlands to the west. Because of their proximity to dangerous places such as the Blackmoss Swamp and the citadel of Dal-Takar, they don't get too far most times.
Xenphenia made a loose alliance with The Land of Dagrazt during the War Against the Darkness, but this had more to do with Xenphenia's role as an opportunist than any strategic notions on the part of Dagrazt.
Xenphenia actively participates in the slave trade, and along with Pirate's Landing and Swampman's Dyke, they comprise the Slaver's Triangle.
Xenphenia operates as a loose republic of sorts, with each of its tribal provinces given a vote to who will lead the nation. The current ruler is Lady Helena of Wildfron.

History

Long ago, during the Sundered Age, Xenphenia was home to a legendary family known as the "Twoblades." During their reign Xenphenia was a cultural marvel and ushered in a number of innovations both magical and mundane. They were loved by all who lived in the Kingdom until one day they entire family mysteriously vanished. In their absence Xenphenia was overrun by bandits and their once idyllic realm fell into ruin.
