Corvas Sclavaa
Lying on the southern coast of Alnn, Corvas Sclavaa is the largest country on the continent behind the Orvulian Empire. Culturally it is the home of the Sclavaan people, a group of people who have made their homes among the mountains and seaside cliffs of the region. The country relies upon its mineral deposits and control of strategic mountain passes as its main economy due to it lacking significant amounts of farming land. Trade caravans from dwarven keeps in the peaks of the Entas Mountains travel south through the plains of Kallaan and into the mountain passes to reach the ports of Corvas Sclavaa. It is because of these lucrative trade routes that the country keeps trade relatively unchecked allowing for many illicit substances to travel through its ports.
Structure
The nation is governed by a group of roughly two dozen elders who each represent some of the original nomadic tribes that formed the country. Each elder names their successor five years prior to when they retire. The government also consists is a large council of just over one hundred men and women that represent many of the smaller settlements and regions of the country. This group is given ten votes on the council of elders.
History
Originally the entirety of Sclavaa was inhabited by the nomadic Sclavaans, who lived in small groups amongst the mountains. This way of life was common throughout the beginning of the third age, soon the expanding Orvulian Empire to the north soon came into conflict with the Sclavaans. Seeking to gain access to the rich deposits of the region in addition to adding an additional layer of defense to their control of the central plains of Selendaar the Orvulian Empire began its invasion of the region.
Thus began one of the bloodiest campaigns waged by the Orvulian Empire, over the course of 6 years Empire troops managed to push the Sclavaans back to the Entas Mountains setting the modern borders. In response to this the small tribes of the Sclavaan people joined together to create the modern nation of Corvas Sclavaa. Over the intervening years there have been numerous small border skirmishes between the two nations but nothing more than a few patrols meeting. Since the fall of Kallaan and the weakening of the Orvulian Empire some believe that Corvus Sclavaa will use this opportunity to retake their homelands.
