Kashia Odra

Kashia Odra or, The People's Republic of Kashia Odra, are a federation of city states in the northern hemisphere of Gel Mia.

Prior to the Dissolution War of 1057, Kashia Odra had been the Kingdom of Kashia Odra, ruled since its inception by the descendants of the legendary hero of the same name. In the aftermath of the war of 1057, the kingdom buckled on the national level, resulting in the remnants of the nobility withdrawing to Xandorica City in the northwest. The remaining cities reasserted themselves as a united coalition in the face of being abandoned by the monarchy. There are still periods of in-fighting between the various city-states and they have been known to go to war with one another, but these affairs are rather short-lived in the aftermath of the Dissolution War.

Ecology
Kashia Odra is primarily composed of swamps and marshlands, along with southern foothills, northeastern grassland, and northwestern coastal mountains.

The majority of the marshes and swamps are contained in the Bogwash, the central body of Odrian territory. Here, the earth is ever-wet and the waters always brackish. In light of these conditions, any vegetation that is not native must be very specifically cultivated to thrive in hydric soil. While traveling through the region, it is common to come across cultivated rice paddies interplanted with azolla and populated with farm fish like snakeskin gourami.

The northeastern grasslands, the Stoneplains,

The northwestern coastal mountains, the Fractured Mountains, are perhaps the most region to grow food in. With high altitudes, rocky soil, and access primarily to salt water, the plants that grow here are tough and hardy.

Botanists in the region—like Laverna Laelius and Thamas Courouge—are constantly studying, discovering, and developing exciting new information about the nation's myriad of flora and fauna.

Locations
The people of Kashia Odra live primarily within city-states, but beyond those walls there are also smaller towns, both those incorporated into a city-state's greater territory and those not. Further afield still are notable locations of the vast stretches of swamps, marshlands, and wilderness.
