Tidemarches

The Tidemarches Protectorate, situated on the western coast of the Rhedonian Empire, is a bustling and prosperous region known for its thriving trade and wealthy merchants. The area is home to a network of busy port cities and market towns where merchants from all corners of the empire come to compete for deals and profits.
Famous for their sharp business acumen and relentless pursuit of wealth, the merchants of the Tidemarches are highly esteemed in the empire. Through their cunning strategies and skillful negotiations, the Merchant Council of Zeeburg was able to secure autonomy for the region by leveraging their influence and fortunes with the Rhedonian Empire. While imperial magisters hold official positions of power, it is ultimately the Merchant Council that governs the Tidemarches.
Despite their wealth and status, Tidemarchers often face skepticism and disdain from others within the empire due to their reputation for greed and questionable ethics. This has strained relations with neighboring regions, particularly with the Reachmen whom they hold animosity towards. Past conflicts have led to sabotage of trade and diplomatic efforts between the Kingdom of Reach and the Rhedonian Empire. Within the Tidemarches themselves, however, commerce and profit reign supreme as the merchant elite holds sway over every aspect of society.
