Astéba

Astéba remains continually politically fractured, with rival kingdoms vying for power and influence between each other and against neighbouring city-states such as Barnorynn. Astéba is dominated by two powerful port cities, Bilbali and Magritta. The rivalry between the two - and between each other and their neighbours, for that matter - has endured for centuries. There is also rivalry between Astéba and Vistania over the leadership of the cult of Myrmidos, although most agree that the temple in Magritta is the most senior place of worship for the religion. Astébans take great offence at being referred to as Vistani, or at being addressed in the Vistani language by accident.
