The Esh Republic

The Esh Republic is a vast expanse where arid deserts transition into extensive coastlines, reflecting an environment as multifaceted as its system of governance. Unlike a hereditary monarchy, the Republic is steered by an elected Emperor, combining democratic ideals with the overarching authority of a draconic presence. While the formidable brass dragon, Sandlord Ryodo, holds overarching dominion, the elected Emperor is responsible for day-to-day administration. Home to the enduring Malkari, the Esh Republic stands as a model of self-sufficiency and resilience. These four-armed residents have built thriving communities and are frequently sought as mercenaries or guides for their knowledge of the desert and combat prowess.

Geography

In terms of sheer landmass, the Esh Republic ranks as one of the most expansive nations on Dromaria, albeit with one of the leanest populations. Dominating its geography is the vast desert known as the Hush, a land teeming with sand-dwelling creatures that pose a constant threat to its inhabitants. Yet, despite its arid core, the Republic is not isolated; it shares its southern boundary with the Drakefire Ocean and its northern edge with the Sterling Ocean. The Republic is also not without waterways. A handful of rivers punctuate its western fringes, serving as lifeblood for the scattered communities that have settled there. Its coastline hosts a few bustling port cities, crucial for trade and diplomatic relationships. These geographical features contribute to the Republic's complex ecology, providing a home for its mainly Malkari population, who have adapted over generations to this rugged and unforgiving landscape.
