| - | The history and culture of the Free Cities is far too rich and complex to do justice in a short segment, and there are far too many to list here. Some are feudal holdings, others serene republics, and a few have more obscure forms of government. Some value commerce, other are bellicose, and there is a rare breed that simply wishes to be left alone. Suffice to say, there are dozens of them, each trying their best to rise from the ashes of the Renazzan Empire following its collapse at the hands of the Dath hordes. There are, however, a few which are culturally and historically significant enough to warrant further detail. | + | The history and culture of the Free Cities is far too rich and complex to do justice in a short segment, and there are far too many to list here.

| Renazzo is by far the most famous of the Free Cities thanks to its legacy as the birthplace of the Renazzan Empire, which once controlled the entirety of the coast of the Western Sea. The Renazzans of today hold no territory outside some farmland near their walls, but they still pick fights with their neighbors to try to relive the glory days. Their currency is also commonly used among the other Free Cities, though the larger ones like Terni and Vasto mint their own coins. | Renazzo is by far the most famous of the Free Cities thanks to its legacy as the birthplace of the Renazzan Empire, which once controlled the entirety of the coast of the Western Sea.

| Renazzo is ruled by a line of nobles who style themselves as Dukes and Duchesses, though they do not dare to claim that their governance is in any way descended from the fallen empire lest they be put back in their place. | Renazzo is ruled by a line of nobles who style themselves as Dukes and Duchesses, though they do not dare to claim that their governance is in any way descended from the fallen empire lest they be put back in their place. | ||
