The Manden Kurufaba
Manden is a coalition of wealthy states with a grand experiment in international diplomacy. Here, more so than any of the other Kingdoms of Ifri, Heroes engage in politics, intrigue and scheming. Though abonsam do hide in the shadows and threaten the safety of the people, in Manden such horrors are few and far between. Much more common are threats of internal discord. Member states of Manden look for weakness and opportunities to seize control of the Kurufaba away from the central Manden State. Dignitaries from foreign lands across the seas vie for lucrative trade contracts, while working to erode the laws and protections of the land that prevent exploitation. Secret rendezvous and hidden assignations are the order of the day (and night)—Heroes used to the courtly wiles of Montaigne quickly find Manden just as grand, but the stakes are even greater because the international coalition of countries looking to trade tin Ifri means that the outcome of such intrigue affects not just one country, but the world!
