Draiman Combine
Along the equator of Yerth lies a vast land of nation-states held together by a subtly totalitarian magocracy. Ostensibly working together for their mutual protection and survival, the people of the Combine are generally xenophobic, paranoid and somewhat insular. While barely qualifying as a cohesive nation, the Combine nonetheless has been able to protect its borders for centuries from bandits, monsters and beasts of all kinds. The Combine has never faced a true invasion – due mainly to the geography and the fact its neighbors are not really interested in empire building. The Combine has calved two smaller nations, the isolated kingdom of Molgar and the Tesra Repulic. Negotiations are often tense, if not openly hostile between these nations.
