Alexia

East of Odessa, Alexia is a kingdom of proud plains people. It has a long-standing martial tradition with pole-arms, and is home to the Sentinel. Politically, it is closely aligned (through economic ties, mostly debt) with Odessa as a de facto client state (a very recent situation that has still not been fully accepted by the populace).

It is heavily urban, and its main power base rests in the hands of elected representatives from each city, overseen by a Doge chosen by those representatives from their number at regular intervals.

Its citizens are very pious, and the Alexandrian church's hold in this area is particularly strong--for a continent that is almost completely Monotheistic, this is quite an achievement.

Kib Absold spent his first year of military service with an Odessan peacekeeping force here.
