Sekhuan States

 

The city states of Sekhu have a long and proud tradition of regional autonomy that began in the early Third Epoch and persisted throughout the orcish invasions and the Imperial Era. While individual city states have periodically fallen into conflict, they have generally stood alongside one another in face of expansionist or imperialist threats.

Free Sekhu

The entire continent of Sekhu is comprised of free city states that are not, and bever have been, joined in any form of official confederation. All of the city states of Sekhu are structured in a similar model; with governing councils formed from members of Great Houses and important regional factions.

Among the city states there have been many alliances, but histrically, these can broadly be described geographically. The city states of the Sapphire Jungle region are formed into a loose trade and military alliance that maintains ties with the Lizari Empire and its Exchange Cities. The city states in the lower Great Copper Plains region are formed in another alliance, which is principally a trade alliance with strong ties to Waeyron and many of the Waeyroni Great Houses. East of the Blueclay River, another alliance is connected to the Jumiran Free States and the Jumiran Confederacy. In the middle of Sekhu, thee city states in the Mandala Bay and upper Great Copper Plains form another another alliance that borders all of the others and is anchored around the cultural and economic might of the principal city of Mandala.
