Geography: 124k sq.mi of temperate vegetation (slanted towards coniferous) following the river system from the Iron Mountains. Their territory is north of the river with Anivere (which officially controls south of it), although they control most of the river traffic.

Government: A ruling council with limited powers. Generally those involve dealing with foreign affairs that affect the whole region and setting basic standards and laws between the various houses. Not really a nation, but a collection of independent traders and rivermen.

Population and Races: Human, but with a good percentage of both dwarves and elves. Also a higher percentage of goblinoids than found in most humanoid countries.

Culture: Very independent, self-reliant, trading oriented, and loyal to their house.

Economy and Trading: Don’t produce much, but move a lot of goods, particularly iron out of the Iron Mountains to the western kingdoms.

Military: No formal army or navy. Tend to be lighter armed and mobile. Often used as scout or skirmisher units in bigger conflicts.

Allies and Rivals: Sometimes allied with Anivere, sometimes nominally under their control, but always very independent. Anivere finds them convenient as a buffer zone against incursions from the north. They trade with The North but also tend to skirmish with them. They tend to be on Garaeth’s annoyance list because of their Aniverian connection.
