Ethaus

The most violent of all settlements in the domain of Garant, the capital of Ethaus imports weaponry from Reverzel and exports clothing, cocoa, and tea from the other villages within its kingdom. Although they remain strong in their offensives against the powerful creatures within the swamp to their north, they now must deal with the war between Anekoya sapping their resources and attention, and straining their political ties to kingdoms on Allitsia. Though they are wealthier than their opponents, they lack the level of combat experience of the northern kingdom, and so the battle rages on. With their textile industry declining due to to shift towards medicinal crops, their wealth may not last much longer, and they seek a way to end the war while also repaying Anekoya for the destruction of their most valued settlement, Karapaka.
