Patish
Patish is the largest colony of the Colliegle empire. Its landscape is diverse, featuring humid forests, dry hills, and a small northern desert. Originally settled by Buhayran Orcs in the Emergent Age, Patish has enjoyed a rich history of great kingdoms and much strife. A colony of Colliegle since at least 880 EX, the people of Patish include a mix of Orcish, Human, and Halfling people. Today, Patish stands as a promising land of industrial capability, but politically is caught between a desire for independence and the death grip of a rotting empire.
Culture
Patishite culture is incredibly distinct. Ornate and expressive, a mastery of textile arts defines the many great works of this proud culture. The people are bright and friendly, but are liable to hold grudges if pressed to. Travelers can expect to be welcomed with a great feast, complete with a menagerie of spices and unique flavors.
Public Agenda
The government of Patish is subservient to Colliegle, and thus adopts their political beliefs and standards. They stand opposed to the UES, notable given their close proximity.
History
Patish as a civilization traces itself long before recorded history. By the time Buhayran scholars had started documenting the region, the locals had already created a number of major settlements. As Buhayra grew, so too did Patish. Their cultures grew in unison, although a distinctly different climate and resources provided Patish with a much more stable, if less impressive, existence. Patish was a great kingdom throughout much of its history, although was prone to tumultous changes in leadership. After the First Cataclysm, Buhayra pulled ahead as the more successful empire, especially as it became a trading magnate for the newly arrived Aurestrians in the early Expansive Age. When Aurestrians arrived on the western coast, Patish kings hoped it would be the beginning of a new empire for them as well. Instead, the Tierrians arrived with soldiers. The Tierrians made short work of the Patish armies, who were unsupported by their neighbors in the west. The Tierrian reign was done with little care, as their attention was mostly focused on Eastern Callum. The government was brutal and direct, sparing little violence when it came to exploting the resources available in the land. Most important was the cultivation of rare alchemical goods, something that the Tierrians were in desperate need for. After the Second Cataclysm, Tierrio was forced to abandon their rule over Patish. For a few centuries, Patish tried to regain some power as an independent kingdom, but the native Patishites retained little power, and they were instead ruled by the leftover Tierrian aristocracy. It wasn't until the middle of the Enkindled Age that things changed. In a war between Colliegle and Tyr that proceeded the North Callum War for Independence, Colliegle fought with Tyr to gain control over Patish, of which Colliegle won. From that point onwards, Patish has remained the preimier colony of Colliegle. In the past century, this has come with major industrialization and modernization efforts. Colliegle, recognizing the unique resources the region provides, have capitalized on this to great effect.
