title: Lirian Confederation
---

The large but rather incohesive country to the east of [[Vesper Ridge]] and the [[Barrens]]. The Lirian Confederation was formerly a unified kingdom known as Lirios (and often still referred to by its old moniker), established 650 years ago by towns banding together to resist the eastward expansion of the [[Holy Kingdom of Alinor]].

Two centuries before the present day, Lirios underwent a populist revolution in which the monarchy was overthrown and a much weaker confederate government was put in place. It still remains technically a single unified nation, but most Lirian citizens feel a stronger loyalty to their local regions and individual cities. Additionally, the country’s legal code is extremely sparse compared to Alinor’s, and thus a great deal of activity that would be considered illegal in the west is conducted in Lirios. As such, it has developed a reputation as a lawless frontier, although in truth many of its cities are perfectly safe and orderly.
