Saddia

Saddia is a land apart, a blessed place, safeguarded by the eternal protectors that are the L'acquan. The island itself is considered a paradise, with remarkable easy farming and access to plentiful fishing grounds. Many of the largest species are domesticable. These factors combined to make sure the population enjoyed a peaceful existence that they devoted to knowledge and learning. Their complex languages was based on various remains on the island. The one thing they didn't explore was their history. Their culture grew, moving to form a representative democracy, as well as centralized education. This proceeded apace  until around 1500 AD, with the coming of first the the Mon Cala, then the L'acqua.

### Acesse Cities.

The Islands and peoples of Saddia are sacred, and outsides have no place there. This view is well enmeshed in L'acquan thinking. However the real world rarely allows for so harsh a dogma to operate for long unopposed and with in a century the rules for entrance were pockmarked and scattered. So a new strategy was released to enable both preservation of sanctity and growth in the rapidly expanding world. Several coastal cities and surrounding townships were designated "access cities" where the world out side could come and go as freely as they did any where else.  Most of theses wew located on the North and eastern shore as the heaviest traffic was located there. Over the years many of these cities have become trade hubs for people across the world. As might be expected the laws are fairly tightly enforced, though somewhat less harsh than one may expect. The most common punishment is simple deportation. As the world becomes more mobile and the charity of Saddia becomes better known the cities have also begun attracting the desperate. There is a some degree of  contrast in the treatment these people receive. On one had rehab, medical aid and resettlement (off Saddia) are all made available to them. But on the other there seems to be an effort to move the sometimes long lines of disheveled out of the public view, or at others more recently, to use them as backdrops for political campaigns across the spectrum.

Jade Tokens of Gratitude. Gifted by the Premiere of Minfeng after the rescue of civilians form the rogue Warlord Wattana Nguyen. The tokese were presented to the soldiers of the Mon Caln 103rd Combat Engineering Division, House Rukkarr, of L'acqua and the Moaudia 10th Riverine Division. Both the Mon Caln and L'acquan units were best pleased to leave the tokens in Saddia for all to see though the Maoudi chose to keep theirs.

It is often assumed that the Saddian military has softened behind their protector nations. The well trained and disciplined volunteer force will depace them of that notion quite cheerfully.Saddians must demonstrate that they are capable of protecting themselves before they are allowed to move in to one of the Shelter Cities full time. This pamphlet demonstrates some of recommended techniques.
