In local legend, this polity was the center of an empire going back to the days of Old Sartor. The neighbors look to it for cultural leadership; one can see the roots of Old Sartor in architectural forms, though the development over centuries has been toward complicated detail in all things. The society is elaborate, layered with symbol and meaning, everyone having a place. The capital, Rizh Purlean, is quite beautiful, and to live there is to participate in daily pageantry. It's said of this city, like Alsais, that there is no ugly view through any window, or from any road.

The neighbors, once one polity, now an alliance, stay together to resist the occasional waves of Hazanthi ships wanting more land.
