Gesh

The city-states of Gesh have survived their peerless position outside the orc Rith and the ever volatile Sea of Tatusgo by building high, building strong, and building in quantity. These industrious people have a culture that centers around production and they trade their goods openly with those who make it to each of their walled cities. Outside the cities spread endless farms in the highly developed land offering little in the way of untapped resources. Each city is governed by its own leader, and all citizens of the city are called upon to aid the city-guards in the defense when times are hard. Adventurers from this area may be seeking a chance to return home with wealth, or just seeking escape from the monotonous life of work and trying to out-pace raids from external threats during the harvest season. The culture and flavor of Gesh is modeled after the oriental cultures of the real world.
