Maels

Maels is a city-state in Yels, east of Delmar. The primary city is Jorgen.

Climate
Maels is comprised largely of swamp lands that turn into wetlands and vast forests further east of Jorgen. Mountains border the southeast, many containing caves where some beastmen are believed to have begun living. Maels has to import many goods as not much grows properly in the swamps, and there is little ore to be mined from the mountain chain.

Current Political State
Although Maels left the Yels Alliance as many other states did, it remains in healthy standing with Delmar, to the point that the border is largely unprotected. Their move towards independence was largely due to a desire to gain more value in their unique mystic goods that originate from the wetlands and woods; however, this plan failed as the Delmar citizen's disdain for magic grew. Maels now works closely with Delmar to provide goods for each other as well as a joint guard against any beastmen infiltrations to the south.

Maels remains one of the strongest supporters of Magic's "good name" however, harboring several exiled mage scholars, and strongly resisting attempted investigations by The Order, providing them some trade as magic users from neighboring nations arrive seeking new implements.
