Formerly a client-state of the Great Empire (and one of the few allowed to retain its own monarchy), Cordosia suffered deeply during the reign of Lucius the Heretic in the waning years of the Third Age of Man. As Cordosia climbed out of the turmoil of the Dark Times, the clergy of Meliboea, the Farseer, gained in prominence as monarchy was re-established in the region. Cordosia has become prosperous, with a growing navy and powerful merchant fleet, despite an often cut-throat political culture as various newly-established noble families vie for prominence. Despite promises by the Mages Guilds and priesthood of Abaris, practicing Hermetic Magic in the region has been prohibited and there are periodic pogroms, usually lead by the priestesses of Meliboea, to find and burn at the stake wizards who use their arts in the Kingdom.
