Zantaashi

The Holy Kingdom of Zantaashi has traditionally held that it is their duty to restore the karmic balance to the world, in the hopes of eventually ridding the world of The Flows. Having acknowledged that the fey live in relative karmic balance with nature, and being content to leave them alone for the time being, the Holy Kingdom has focused much of its efforts on conquering and converting the reptilian states.

For centuries, the Holy Kingdom waged war on and off with the reptilian states on Letier. They focused mainly on the Tibanese states, with the intention of expanding to the Marran Empire once they had conquered the free states. For a time, it appeared as though the yuan-ti kingdom would win and their lands would all be subsumed. However, some of the city-states, seeing their doom, joined forces with the Marran Empire to the south.

The Holy Kingdom could not stand long against the combined forces of the navies of the Marran Empire and the fiercely independent Tibanese fighters. Eventually, they were forced to accept their defeat. The Marran Empire and the Free States of Tiban forced the yuan-ti to sign a treaty, joining the Confederacy of the Scale and disbanding their standing army.

Since then, the Holy Kingdom has turned to the study of the past. Children are encouraged to join the Archeralds’ Guild and to seek out new Enclaves. According to the laws of the Holy Kingdom, any vault discovered by a citizen becomes the property of the kingdom. The Kingdom has expanded this way, bringing its Karmic Houses to new places as citizens discover more Enclaves and the Kingdom gains the right to build around them.
