Iscasia is a human coastal nation located in southern Frerrik, facing the Sea of Amaranth. It is a neutrally aligned nation with open borders that sustains itself with international trade and cultural exports, most notably the traditional Iscasian kevutha, a bead-woven tapestry sought by many which is said to attract luck and wealth to those that possess them.
Iscasia is governed by a powerful collective government known as the Ciriars, a hereditary body made of 12 members that uphold the strict laws and traditions of the nation. These laws are enforced by the Osira, an infamously powerful military group of highly trained Iscasians that additionally keep thorough records on all Iscasian citizens. On a yearly basis, Iscasian families are evaluated by the Osira based on their productiveness, civility, humility, and altruism, and are placed into one of the nation's 5 castes based on the result.
Iscasians are considered to be abnormally hospitable to foreigners as many hope to increase their standings with the Osira; however, many note this generousity as coming across as hollow or done out of fear.
