Kosna

Some folks would consider Kosna’s government to be anarchy. It would more accurately be considered a bureaucratic kleptocracy, though (in the few places where the Kosnian government has any reach). The self-proclaimed capital of the nation, Vedriti, sits on a desert island to the west of the continent. It is a city run on bribes, favors, winks, and blind eyes.

Deznal Kaab is the “appointed” Head Administrator of Vedriti, and thus Kosna, however, most know this to be a symbolic position that the doltish old Tortle only keeps because the leader of the Tora allows him to. The Tora, the true power in Kosna, are a tight-knit band of openly identified Rakshasa led by a tiger-headed woman named Rinira Pelidrisi, though most know enough to simply call her Madame.

Kosna is a nation primarily of Lizardfolk, Tortles, Rakshasa, with a diverse gathering of other races who have an aversion to law and order. Indeed, the only people who can be relied on in this nation tend to be the Tortle clans who are off the beaten path and barely recognize themselves as members of any nation beyond that of their tribe.

Aside from the large desert island to the west, the continent is largely swampland, home to massive mangrove forests and creatures that even the University of Abilon has no name for yet. True towns and cities are rare, and hard to get to, making crime and debauchery fairly easy to commit with no hope of assistance from any neighboring community.

While Vedriti pretends to hide its corruption, the town on the opposite end of the nation, Zellisim, wears its lawlessness as a badge of honor. Simply put, do not hope to visit Zellisim and leave with all of your possessions. Or limbs. Or life.
