Stretching across a pleasant environment of modest humidity, warm summers, and mild rainy winters, Anedonia is a federation of city-states that share the same cultural practices, holidays, and religious beliefs, though each city-state has different governing systems and economic strengths.

The Anedonian islands are rocky but temperate, allowing pastoral culture to flourish alongside orchards of olives and citrus.


The Anedonian city-states operate independently of one another in most instances and have waged war on one another at various points throughout history. However, the whole of Anedonia has rallied together whenever they feel that their way of life faces existential threat, and when united in such fashion they are a tremendous force to be reckoned with. Even the mighty Empire of Roshallan has been unable to subjugate Anedonia due to the Anedonians’ fierce loyalty to their nation above the differences of their individual states.

Anedonian society revolves around free-market maritime traders. Many of Anedonia’s city-states are island nations, so in addition to pastoral and orchard cultivation, the city-states also thrive on a fishing industry.
