The Arduine Grand Alliance

An alliance formed by the midpeople of Robalt, the Arduine Grand Alliance is named after the self-stylized Lord Garberth Arduine, who lead a coalition to unite the people of the area under a single banner. This unity was to form a protective alliance against the other nations, which were frequently encroaching in the midlands, taking up territory and killing those in their wake. The formation of the Arduine Grand Alliance directly lead to the creation of the United Federation, as the formation of this Alliance lead the countries of the Federation to form their own group to combat it. The two are officially at war still today, despite both trading indirectly through Solane.

Geography
The midlands are of rough terrain, and have long been difficult for the races living there to create a successful agricultural system. Before the Alliance, many of the groups in the area engaged in raiding parties targetting the countries to the north and the south. Only Solane, with it's mountainous border, did not suffer these frequent raids.

The Arduine Grand Alliance is bordered on the south, east and west by the United Federation. On the northeast is Dorak, while on the northwest is Englase. Solane is a small puncture into the Alliance on their northern border.

Racial Demographics
The AGA is formed mostly of 'monster races'. Of their population, they have the largest number of goblins, orcs, kobolds, ogres, dragonborne and most other races on the continent of Robalt.

Governance
The AGA is run by a group known as the Council of the Peoples, in their capital city of Einheit.
