Siforan

Siforan is often referred to by its neighbors as the Merchanter Country. Rather than having a monarchy, Siforan is controlled by a High Council of six merchant lords. Who sits on the council depends on a number of factors, such as success, wealth, connections, and (to a lesser degree) popularity with the public. The council meets in Sallanport and its members are required to have a primary or secondary home located in the upper district of that city.

Geographically speaking, Siforan is the largest and most populated country in the region and it is the only country with nations on the far side of The Beastwood. A number of exotic and highly coveted goods are imported by Siforan merchants from the eastern lands. The denizens of Katelonia and Frostmarch rely on trade with Siforan to keep their own countries functioning in some ways. Siforan's rulers have long coveted Katelonia's access to The Beastwood and the untold riches rumored to be within. However, despite the connections they've built up over the years, they have not gotten access to The Beastwood, since it reserves access for its own citizens. In recent times, efforts to marry members of the Katelonia royal family occurred, however Queen Valeria refuses these proposals.

The climate of Siforan is generally mild. It sees seasonal hurricanes, and some years may experience drought or flooding, but they aren't generally an outbreak. The winters are more mild thanks to the extensive coastline, though the occasional blizzard and ice storm happens, and usually, Farryn Windspeaker is blamed, though the lines has blurred on it being genuine, a joke, or a cultural artifact.
