Lysandria

Lysandria is a nation of desert-dwelling humans, located in northeastern Alinaria, where the Jarvia Desert meets the Arevelyan Ocean. The once-sprawling kingdom has been reduced to the walled capital of Zel'ma and a few smaller outlying settlements.

Lysandria was one of the kingdoms that benefitted most from Riikano-Alinaris' benevolence, and they enjoyed trade and interaction with many of his ambassadors, as well as a host of friendly brass dragons native to Alinaria. The centuries since Riikano-Alinaris' murder, however, have not been kind to the Lysandrians. Alkalinis and his Metallic Pact have all but forgotten the southerners as they turn their draconic gaze to The West and Malystryx's forces. Blue dragons and their spawn have launched attacks on Lysandria's many cities, crumbling them to the ground even as marauding forces from the wastes come to pick up the pieces.

The fortress city of Zel'ma is the last bastion of its people, providing protection from the desert's harsh weather and malevolent inhabitants and a harbour for the trade necessary to keep them alive. Zel'ma trades primarily with the humans of the Stensland, due to their relative proximity to (and shared plight with) Stensburg. The farms of the Stensland provide the food Lysandria so desperately needs, and Lysandria returns the favour with valuable minerals from the desert, as well as valuable artifacts, lost relics of their once proud nation. Zel'ma provides all travellers of the wastes with shelter, albeit with a wary eye; they have been betrayed to many times to give trust blindly.
