The Godlin Republic

Where the Firewater River meets the sea is a veritable delta of swamps, marshes, and trade ports that make up the Godlin Republic. To call them a republic though will garner laughs from most scholars, as they are more pirates than a government. Their position on the river allows them to charge protection fees and tariffs for any trade that goes up or down the Firewater.

The republic got its start as a consortium of pirates and river traders. Over time they decided that they would need to organize into a government or risk destroying all trade along the Firewater and incur the wrath of too many wealthy merchants and governments. For the time being they try to fit into the "tolerable evil" category, corrupt to the core but limiting their greed.

Those looking for trade can find any number of goods in the Godlin Republic. They proclaim themselves "slave free" but there are many black market flesh peddlers. They try to retain their image to avoid bringing more orcish war parties down on them. Tensions are high along the border of the Kingdom of Denorath as the human supremacists look down on the lizard folk with judging eyes.
