The Bright Republic

Civilized barbarians! With the fall of the Roman Empire all provinces beyond Northwall were overrun and enslaved by the barbarians. Yet enlightenment always seeks an outlet and the nearest of the barbarians to civilization, the Orcs, have made great strides to rise above their nature and embrace learning. Most recently Tarquin the Bright journed to Babylon to prove that not all Orcs were bad and to formally request permission to join The Amphictyony and to receive economic aid. This is currently being processed.

The citizens of Bright are generally wild and unkept descendents of barbarians and the slaves of the realm they vanquished. Most mean well, though, and are eager to learn of foreign civilized ways. A variety of languages are spoken and literacy is not common. The intelligentsia, such as they are, speak and write Common. Not much is known about the gods of Bright. They are quite different but commonly Roman deity names are substituted.
