Culture Composites: Daecia
Here, at last, is the final Imperial Heartlands culture composite: Daecia and the Palace.
Culture Composites: Gejara
Even though the Imperial Heartlands culture composites are just one step from finished, I’ve decided to pass beyond the borders to write up the independent nation of Gejara instead. The last Imperial province, after all, is Daecia and the Palace…
Culture Composites: Averogne
Second-to-last of the Imperial provinces and protectorates is this quiet little place, sited in the shadow of the Rift and a vassal of the Empire for decades before the Empire invaded any other western territory. Averogne yielded easily to the … Continue reading

Culture Composites: Riddian
Picking up on our slow loop through the Imperial Heartlands, in this installment we visit the Kingdom of Riddian. It has been allowed to stay a kingdom because it submitted to the Emperor in the early years of the Imperial … Continue reading
Culture Composites: Corvia
I realized that while I was moving eastward through my cultures, I entirely skipped the Corvish (or Korvii) — which is weird, because they’re some of my favorites. This may have to do with the fact that I am, myself, … Continue reading
