Sumaah Republic

Overview

In 118 YE, during the reign of Empress Aenea the Republic broke with the Imperial Synod and technically excommunicated not only the Empress but all the priests of the Empire. The Empire was technically at war with the Sumaah Republic for the next two hundred years, but the vast distances involved meant that military conflict was all but impossible, All trade between the Republic and the Empire ceased, however, and it was not until 326 YE that the trade-routes were re-opened.

Zemeh

Ruthlessly egalitarian, the citizens of the Sumaah Republic embrace the Way but disagree with their Imperial counterparts on matters of doctrine. Only in Zemeh are the traders of the Empire welcome, to a sprawling junble-city of secrets, brooding priests and grim-faced censors.
