Free Peoples

A large stretch of central Desina is now a region commonly referred to as “The Free Peoples.” It is composed of numerous city-states, independent small towns and communities, and micro-nations. These towns and cities all have different histories and sometimes starkly different cultures, but the one thing they all have in common is they are all free of the imperialism they were subjected to in the Age of Nations.

The first cities to break free had been some of the northern cities under the control of the Legion of Iuris. Parts of the Legion had always been resentful of being forced to remain a part long after the threat of the Tantus Empire had passed. When the Legion was finally forced to adapt Guild Philosophy it no longer had the power to keep these cities under its control and they declared their independence, becoming the first of the Free Peoples.

Later, Desina-territories of Custos would also declare their independence, and the northern nation of Rochet would collapse completely after its territories splintered. Now the region of the Free Peoples stretches all the way to The Barrier in the north.
