Cante

Cante rests in the shadow of Argor's Spine, the mountain range that lines the western coast of Northern Theranil. It is the conglomeration of a number of farmers and hunters that gathered and raised walls in an attempt to hide from the constant warring of the other states.

Cante sits in a precarious position just north of the Savage Coast where slavery runs rampant and the Free Isles empire controls most of the land, and it sits south of the three city-states of the Tri-west alliance that are formalizing an agreement that will form a new regional kingdom.

Unable to trade to the south, and losing its influence to the north, Cante is forced to rely on its fertal lands that it sits upon to become self sufficient. Though Cante has many miles of fertal farmland, this alone has not satisfied the council. Ignoring the protest of the dwarves, Cante has begun mining operations in Argor's Spine to the west.

The city is led by three elected officials that are voted from out of a pool of citizens.

Civil war has gripped the city and the power of the council has shifted. As the war begins to wind down the city prepares for re-election.

Beneath them are dozens of lower officials that are chosen at the time of election by the council themselves.
