| A collection of independent city-states with a shared cultural history located along the shoreline of the [[Serpente Sea]]. Known to scholars as the City-States of Theodova, among its people they are far more likely to call themselves [[Palgorus|Palgorii]] or [[Crotus|Croton]] than Theodovian. Once the lands of the Dragon Kings, whose ships stuck fear in the cities along the Serpente Sea, these city-states now are the center of the newest philosophy, art, and science in the [[Western Realms]]. | A collection of independent city-states with a shared cultural history located along the shoreline of the [[Serpente Sea]].

| The excessive greed and corruption has caused a conservative backlash among the common people of the lands. In the small villages and hamlets the people have rekindled the worship of the Drago Setta. These people have cast off the worship of the gods of the cities and embraced the strictest traditions of the Theodovian Dragon Kings. Although their numbers are growing, they must still hide their faces for the worship of the Dragon Kings is forbidden upon pain of death within the City-States. | The excessive greed and corruption has caused a conservative backlash among the common people of the lands.

| - | While much of the trade between this city and Theodova dropped when the Seat of Lords fell to [[people:Llannoth]] the Lich King - even trading with the [[creatures:undead]] has its advantages. All of the major families have frequently, and publicly, announced that they will not trade with Corvis and anyone that does is an outcast. Privately there is a great deal of trade that goes on with Corvis. The city pays well for those willing to trade with it. Most of the Theodovan trade goes through the black sails of Talarak, more desperate captains, or even Theodovan outcasts the families keep around for such off-hand work. | + | While much of the trade between this city and Theodova dropped when the Seat of Lords fell to [[people:Llannoth the Lich King]] - even trading with the [[creatures:undead]] has its advantages.

| - | The Pah do not build cities or even villages on the coastline as they consider it cursed. This requires that merchants anchor near the shore and transport their goods to Pah'Shar villages by hand. Several attempts to build trading houses on the Pah'Shar coastline have met with failure and the disappearance of those that worked there. Pah'Shar is poor in iron, but it is also so wet that iron and steel rust rather quickly - instead most of the trade is in food. | + | The [[orgs:Pah'Shar]] do not build cities or even villages on the coastline as they consider it cursed.
