League

Each nation remains independent under the League, but are bound together in pursuit of ideals such as justice, nobility, and honor. It is centered on the continent of Arnen, with its capital being the great human city of Meraedon.

Overview
The League is a decentralized political alliance of various nations, each expected to assist the others in times of need. Each nation is independent under the League's umbrella, but is expected to answer the call-to-arms from its member nations in the event of external invasion. To this end, the five nations maintain their own professional standing armies to answer the call when needs be.

Membership within the League is voted upon. Prospective nations or organizations who wish to join the League are voted in by the current members. The head of state of each member nation is granted one vote, regardless of the number of ruling positions they may have.

The League has a number of separate allied states. These are the Orrash Republic, Skytalon, and Elusia.

Business
Those who do business within the League but are not members of a League nation are subject to a special monthly tax. In exchange for paying this tax, the merchant enjoy a great deal of autonomy in their dealings. They are also able to call upon members of the League for protection, in the event that their businesses are threatened.
