Reilla

The northernmost country on the continent of Rath, Reilla is nominally ruled by the city of Jus. Given its position far to the north, the population is sparse and concentrated in a few moderately-sized cities. For the most part, the cities operate as independent city-states, although they still pay lip-service to Jus and usually pay taxes and contribute soldiers to the standing army. In DR 36388, the northwestern region of Reilla was the central location for the events of the Second War of the Rift.

In the intervening years, the stability of the region, along with interest in the study of the sealed Rift has led to a steady expansion in the west. The discovery of additional ore and gem deposits in the western region provided the economic impetus for a large influx of immigrants, with order being maintained locally by a combination of paladins from Steinfestung, mages and druids from Verzauberstadt, local militia from Corstopitum and mercenaries hired by Eisenplatz.

The economic prosperity and growth of the western region has somewhat destabilized the political situation, and while the ruling parties of the western cities still pay allegiance to Jus, rumor suggests that the ruling council is less than sure of that allegiance. In recent years, Jus has levied significant tax increases on the western regions, while instituting a gradual change in representation laws designed to limit inclusion from the western region. These changes, along with special duties on western goods, have drawn protests from the merchant families. As of DR 36623, tensions remain high.
