Izvergli Anarch-Conglomerate

Overview


"'A knife in the dark." "An apple on the table." All are open to you, if you've the coin and able." "— Dluoch, Failed Poet"

Quite simply the nation of the Imps. However, it is not as simple as that: imps, by nature, aren't exactly fit to produce leaders that win hearts and minds. Instead, they triumph over each other until the top dog reaches the top.

Out of that hot mess, numerous groups have formed, each with the common purpose of stabbing the other in the back. Though, such rivalry is always viewed as a bit of friendly competition - nothing wrong if it's 'just buisness' right?

Together, they are the Izergli. Together they form a nation where it's best to be sure which imps have risen to the top in the past hour, lest you find that deal you struck with the big shots has no clout at all and they have been replaced with even less savoury folk.

In other words, it's a paradise for the more capitalistically inclined. No regulations unless they're backed with shinies.

Cities
Six cities currently make up the Izvergli, they are:
 * Cornek - twinned with a Malachiel-worshipping city and in-between three factions, Cornek is a hub of trade and commerce. Situated within rocky mountains, it is the only Izvergli city not build on volcanic wastes.
 * Ibilsez - the capital.
 * Nezbeda - as with any city build on the volcanic wastes, most of it is underground, the tip of the iceberg as it were consisting of ramshackle huts where hunters brave the lava flows to bring home salamander meat, and where farmers desperately try to grow crops.
 * Neplecha - Very similar to Nezbeda, except here the coast used to allows the lava to flow into the sea, then The Greening happened. Both cities are named after two folk heroes - trickster twins who tricked the lava into being nice.
 * Skordling - Formerly mountains broke up the blasted landscape in the realm of the Izvergli navial centre until the The Greening happened. Famously, the 1st Peekers set sail from here to Estermark to uncover the mystery behind strange visions of a horrific mist being.
 * Veselost - The holy city of the Imps, standing proud next to Mt. Slagspite. Many followers of Harharia can be found here, partaking in the volcanic fumes that surround the land.
