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.
