Agralan

Agralan is the southernmost continent and consists of mostly desert. Formerly, Agralan consisted of dozens of countries, but now only has two. The Sands of the Godking and The Free State.

Overview of Agralan
A majority of commerce is made up of spices, fish, gemstones, and fabrics, but the largest trade is the slave trade. The Jointed Provinces abolished slavery 200 years ago and the North have no concept of it, but in the South the slave trade is strong and essentially the backbone of society. Slaves are taken from birth, through prisoners or war, or even as ways to settle debts in the many gambling organizations that are found in Agralan. There are many escaped slaves, but they are known by their black banded tattoos around their faces and are met with disdain and most often violence. A majority of escaped slaves flee north or across the seas to the Provinces or even Grasturm to see their way as mercenaries, soldiers, servants, or try their luck with a trade.

Up until 50 years ago, the land was separated by dozens of countries all with their own kings and kingdoms but very recently a man calling himself Godking has stepped forward and begun a take over of the continent. He has all but succeeded, the last remaining countries on the western side formed together to become the Free State and have been steadily losing ground in recent months. A militaristic society, every able bodied man and woman joins The Spears of the Godking at age 15 and serves for 10 years. The Agralish have the largest military of all the nations closest, but they lack a navy, leading to the loss of the Overreaching War 15 years ago, leading a shaky peace with the Provinces.

Gokoshka, once an important trade city to the Agralish, is now held by the Provinces as a foodhold in the country.

The Godking
The Godking stepped forward 50 years ago and has since started, and almost completed, his unification of Agralan.

He has forced himself as a religious figure on all conquered people, many of which flock to him with mad zealotism. From all accounts he is a larger than life figure and is portrayed as a man with the head of a black cobra which adorns all of his standards and statues. He has several elite groups at his disposal as well as an army of 300,000 troops, double that of the Provinces.

His most feared assets are The Twenty Fangs, a small group of soldiers that are severely loyal to him and are rumored to have shapeshifting abilities as well as powerful magics, and Ash of the Godking, a blasting powder than has been known to level an entire section of wall with one barrel.
