Escher
Country
Population: 546,478 (Est. 2951 YA)
One of the last countries to be founded, in 652 YA, the country is physically weak compared to the other Barbarian countries, but has been protected by being surrounded by Mazda on the south and east borders. Since 1349 YA, the country has had a Grand Alliance with Mazda, yet its border have shrunk as Mazda slowly gains a mile every decade. This has not gone unnoticed by the Escher lords, yet they know that if they break the Alliance, Mazda will be able to claim all of their lands with little resistance. Currently, Warnheim, Lingen and Serwald border Mazda, whilst Kasberg, the country capital, lies at the center. Rulich lies on the western coast, and Manberg lies on the Ter’Ciel border.
