The Merchayne
The Merchayne - Ruled by a Board of Governors[edit]
After the fall of Shakar, a large number of breakaways in the southwestern region of the Anarian Empire formed small kingdoms and city-states that the Empire had a hard time attempting to deal with while also recovering from the catastrophe. With the Empire attempting to march on Shieldhaven and other threats appearing to the south, most of the smaller breakaways in the area agreed to come together to form the Merchayne; ruled over by the leaders from several of the individual rulers at the time.
Some of the Governors to this day still feel enmity towards Shieldhaven for refusing to join the Merchayne.
