The East-Mernic population of Mainland Mernia inhabit the realm known as the Free States of Karth. As such, they are commonly referred to as Karthic. Their lands are far less humid than those of their western neighbours, yet the heat in the Karthic Free States is far more intense—particularly in spring and fall. Outside the major cities, many Karthics dwell in cooler, subterranean homes, carved into the feet of canyons, mountain slopes, or boulders. The region is highly diverse in dialects, faiths, and ideologies. Within the cities, Mernamarc is the most commonly spoken tongue, though each city—and often each district—boasts its own unique dialect and culture. This diversity, while vibrant, often breeds tension and in-fighting among the populace.
As you might infer, the Karthic Free States are seldom unified, particularly given their longstanding differences with neighbouring realms. It is usually gold and silver alone that bring the people to common ground. Yet there are the wise few—those who recognise the wealth in diversity and the fragments of a unifying wisdom it imparts.
