Vercia

Real-world touchstone: Mediterranean maritime cultures — proud island city-states, weathered stone, old grudges.

Far to the south and west lies Vercia — a reach of petrified forests where dead ironroots have turned to stone, of rocky islands, and of cities grown wealthy on mining the depths beneath them and on the sea-trade that passes over. Vercians are olive-skinned and dark-haired, proud to the point of prickliness, and famously slow to trust anyone who isn't one of their own. They keep their own tongue, their own gods, and their own opinions about the rest of the world, and they're not shy about sharing the last of those.

A Vercian legionnaire is a long way from home — likely for a reason worth asking about, if they're willing to tell it. Whatever brought them north, they haven't forgotten where they're from, and they'll happily correct anyone who mangles the pronunciation of their name.
