Tomuzian Confederacy

Tomuzian Confederacy is one of the major factions in Legacy of the Dragon.

Its ruler is Chancellor Kaechen of Hightown and claimant to the throne is Admiral Laruno of the Golden Isles. Baegeria is a human faction. Its national emblem is a boar and their color is gold.

Tomuzian Confederacy was founded following a series of peasant rebellions against kingdoms of Aslania and Baegeria. Forsaking the feudal traditions of their former overlords, Tomuzians have a long history of resisting campaigns of reconquest from their neighbouring kingdoms.

Three factions make up the Tomuzian Confederacy: Republic of Eastern Tomuzia, capital of which is Vineburg; Republic of Western Tomuzia, capital of which is Hightown and Commune of Swanmore. There was another faction of the confederacy, called Admiralty of the Golden Isles, which a decade prior was ravaged and destroyed by corsairs.

When in year 900 an Orcish chieftain, Krogor united warring Orcish tribes and marched on human lands, Baegeria was one of the leading factions which founded the Aejdarian League, an alliance of human, elven and dwarven kingdoms dedicated to protect their lands from an imminent Orcish invasion.

Travelling through Tomuzia, adventurers should be wary of Mountain Bandits.

Culture
Tomuzia, on paper, is an egalitarian society. There are no nobles and commoners. Villages elect their own leaders, called Tribunes, which in turn elect the heads of their respective faction, Governors. Then the governors and some leading tribunes elect the Chancellor. The position of chancellor is for life. However in practice most of these political positions are hereditary and held by certain powerful families for generations who are nobles in every manner but in name.

Most Tomuzians are mountain dwellers. However, once a part of Tomuzia called "the Golden Isles", which were located in the Golden Estuary had a naval tradition. However, this part of the confederacy was overrun and destroyed by corsairs.

Faith
Tomuzia is officially a part of Temple of Saviour's Return, and most of their population are Saviourans. Highest clerical authority in Tomuzia is called "Highpriest", who is appointed by the Archpriest of Temple of Saviour's Return with the approval of Tomuzian Chancellor.
