Sharteshane

## Overview

Sette Frummagem's country of origin, to which Duane Adelier fled after being turned Galit. Sharteshane is one of the southernmost countries of Kasslyne and is a naval powerhouse.

## History

Hanret was once Sharteshane's breadbasket, a fertile land where crops were grown, but Rachshane tried to lay claim to it and started a bloody war with Sharteshane over the land. Cresce stepped in to put an end to the conflict and gave the land to Rachshane, which then asked Crescian forces to leave their lands and slaughtered those in its new territory while closing off its new borders. This event caused the faith in the monarchy to fail and the monarch to be stripped of powers into little more than a figurehead for the merchant class. Over time the merchants would be replaced by criminal organizations as the true power in Sharteshane.

## Politics

Sharteshane has long been a monarchy, but that monarchy no longer holds any true power. The real powers lie with various organized criminal groups who put their own puppet in charge of their locals with the most powerful, Jab Beadman having bought and put in place the current king. The monarchy is more a husk now, being worn by the new rulers. The other power is the Gefendur religious authorities and paladins, who act as something of a police force trawling the country killing those who disagree with them and hanging criminals. Local crimelords often pay off the local paladins.

## Culture

### Naming Conventions

Sharteshanian women traditionally give their babies names that are meaningful, referencing their parentage, conception, birth or early signs of their personality and appearance. This means that names often are quite colorful. Four letter names, especially those that aren't an object, profession or other thing are seen as pretentious and Crescian, and the nobility of Sharteshane tends to use names with a Crescian or Aldish flavor when they want names that set them apart from the lower class.

### Cuisine

Sharteshanian cuisine is heavily seafood oriented, with the kingdom positioned as it is along a coast and some islands. Pies, both savory and sweet, are very popular as the limited access to fruits and vegetables can make things a bit bland, but putting everything in a flaky flavorful crust helps immensely. Strawberry Fish are a popular savory treat, and tinned fish are regular fare. Blackberries are available and used in pies.

## Recent Events

Bastion Winalils traveled to New Tawhoque upon learning that his attempt to turn Duane Adelier into a plod with a soul was a success, and that Duane had fled south. He hired Nary-A’Care Frummagem to ensure Duane was returned to him accompanied by Nary's only living child Sette, whose appearance was similar to that of Duane's own daughter Mikaila Adelier.
