History
Xertz was a country that controlled a large portion of the Core Land, but after the Division, they lost a lot of resources and had to find their footing again. While they are not as large as they once were, that doesn't mean they aren't as powerful as they used to be, if the fierce prowess of their soldiers and Mamluks don't scare their enemies, their assassins do.
The only country on Grifyet that predates the Division. It has trade with almost every country and city-state on the continent in one way or another, which has created the phrase "Any trade good you see has probably passed through Xertz." Xertz is known for its strange customs, such as the Mamluks, and their tendency to revere Djinn as well as the gods.
Military
The Mamluks are fierce fighters of many forms, and then there is the hidden hand of Xertz, the assassins.
Religion
While the people of Xertz worship the Dresiri Pantheon, they also revere the Djinn as servants of the holy elements, however they know that they are not to be trusted. Of the Dresiri Pantheon, they revere Koat, the Silver Snake, above the others
