Esperdas is riding a wave of fundamentalist belief in the Divine Circle, and is being run by a religious dictator known as the Glorious Father, Dhamis Kargen. The strict beliefs that the Glorious Father preaches are aligned towards good, but the fundamentalist crackdown is harsh, with executions and witch hunts common.
In the eyes of the Esperdan, all those not committed to their belief are wrong, and Esperdan warships loaded with paladins row throughout the Great Lakes to ravage against the forces of evil, both on sea and on shore. As their definition of "evil" is broad, most of their neighbors have suffered from their strikes.
As can be expected, Esperdas is nobody's favored trading partner. For their own part, Esperdas places strong restrictions on trading with others. Esperdas is neutral concerning the affairs between Trynser and Pengaldia, but seeing how Pengaldia is the more local of sinners, they battle them more often. The city-state of Zentrobar has recently defected to Istanza, who now openly battles Esperdan troops around the city with overt assistance from Kartesia and covert help from Pengaldia and Sartapan.
