Politics of Medium Earth

While the Eternal Alliance is all encompassing, the many nations have their friends and not friends. The Republic of Ghir (Humans) and The Mantancian Kingdom (Elves) are old friends. The Mantancian Kingdom is also the guardian of the Tsardom of Decrestia (Tieflings). The tieflings weave fine silk and craft wonderful jewelry for the many nations of the realm. This has made the Tsardom rich and many of its citizens vacation half of the year via the tourism agencies of the Ghir republic or the Myhmelran federation (gnomes). They usually choose the Ghir because the gnomes have crap beaches and lots of swamp lands. The Uran League (Orcs) has only just entered the markets mostly exporting exotic fish in exchange for metal workings and "fishing equipment" from the Kingdom of Uzd (dwarves). The Kingdom of Uzd gave the Uran league the land it has now in exchange for the volconic island of Moredoors. The authorities of the Lipan Trade Company (Half-lings and races not yet assigned to a nation) turn a blind eye to the Dealings of "fishing equipment" between Uran and Uzd in exchange for more fish, higher commissions on trade deals, and "fishing equipment." These dealings have not gone unseen, Myhmelran is favoring Uran as the orcs love their swamp lands for some reason. Mantancia grows suspicious of the east and has begun to research a new high level spell to" improve the everyday life of every citizen." Ghir is assisting Mantancia out of spite for the recent business success of Myhmelran. Meanwhile, Topaz City remains a growing and bustling free city where the nations of Medium Earth hold a adventuring Olympics. Where does the word come from? no one knows, we think an intern was possesed by someone called a "DM" and the suggested Olympics be the name. None of this can be confirmed however because all the witnesses were silenced.

note from the DM: Race in my world will determine what nation your character is from. keep this in mind when writing your backstory. Your characters will all know each other because you all signed up solo for the Olympics and got assigned to the same team.
