Darisian Commonwealth

The Darisian Commonwealth is one of the provinces making up the continent of The Fromlands. Its capital city is Darisia.

The Darisian Commonwealth, or just "the Commonwealth", is a coalition of formerly embattled clans and city-states first united under the half-elf conqueror Darisa the Unbound.

Darisa was born a slave in the former Khossirik Empire around the year 310 PT. Through cunning, courage, and sheer force of might she won her freedom and raised an army to conquer the better part of the "Old World", the western continent of Borros.

Over time the borders of the Commonwealth consolidated and withdrew until it settled into the territory it occupies today, and has for centuries.

One significant event in this consolidation was the Sundering (and the resulting War of the Fromlands), which pushed the Commonwealth's southern border up significantly to its current line.

To this day the Commonwealth, Qes Ares, and the Republic are technically at war, with peace kept only by an old armistice.

Each clan-state of the Commonwealth is largely self-governing, but pays fealty to a central autocrat called the "Daris". They province is known for their skill in horse husbandry and riding, as well as for having the second-highest agricultural yield in the world, behind Gold Plains.
