Eastal League of Free Cities



The League of Freedom Cities Eastal (自由都市同盟イースタル Jiyuu Toshi Doumei Iisutaru) is an alliance of Lander nations and kingdoms in Elder Tale that rules over an area equivalent to the eastern mainland of Japan. This area is one of the five territories of Yamato.

The Corwen Family is one of two branches with a direct ancestory to the Imperial Bloodline. Duke Serjiad Corwen is the lord of Eastal's largest city, Maihama, and is the league's overall leader. He extended an invitation to the newly-established Round Table Alliance to attend a meeting and dance party at the Ancient Palace of Eternal Ice.

The alliance is controlled by nobles and is comprised of 20 fiefdoms and 24 cities. The title of each feudal lord was bestowed by Holy Empire Westelande during ancient times. There are twenty-four recognized noble families, and the governing body of Akihabara was seen initially as the twenty-fifth. However, they ultimately were given neither a title nor membership into the League. Instead, they were viewed as the equal to the League and have opened up trade relations, as well as signing a non-aggression pact. As a result, they have a huge opportunity to greatly advance themselves in terms of economy and technology.

Members wear a gold ring inset with a red gem on their left thumb.

The League's main political rival is the Holy Empire Westelande.
