The Republic is set on the eastern frontier of the Republic. The Republic's outpost of Niryarran stands on the Galdonni Coast, named for the Galdon, a tribal people. Every character's backstory ends with their arrival at Niryarran.
A character is born Republic, Galdon, Orosi or Estosi. Beyond Niryarran lie the settlements of Bernhal, Lessentia, Cordval and Bettel. Bandit warlords hold the Iron Hills to the west.
