City States

City-state, a political system consisting of an independent city having sovereignty over contiguous territory and serving as a center and leader of political, economic, and cultural life. In a group of city-states, each city-state is independent and rules by its own king (or culturally appropriate equivalent). The city-states of Essealas functions like any small kingdom of Europes twelfth century, or Westeros before the Targaryen unification. We have six factions actively competing in the current storyline and six factions who have withdrawn from the political arena. Players are welcome to have a character from any of the 12 factions, but only the first six listed here have RPCSS teams.
