Obwalla

Obwalla is a region of Modia east of the Sea of Shocked Quartz. Governance of Obwall is complex. Officially, it is a constitutional sultanate ruled by the Obwalla Ascension Dragon Flight, and nominally a member of the New Day Alliance. However, all of the major industrial centers in the region are owned by the Gudersnipe Foundation and are considered total control zones. These areas cover roughly 20% of the land in Obwalla, but contain more than 80% of the population. As such, Obwalla's official government is and always has been largely just for show.

History

Long Night

During the Long Night, the region became a net-exporter of food. Given the region's lack of arable land and over all poor soil quality, this was something of a mystery. In fact, most of Obwalla's population lived in extreme poverty and starvation, working to export food to Samuel Fate's industrial regions.

New Day

In the New Day era, Obwalla first devolved into a series of waring tribes, then into a group of city-states. The Obwalla Ascension Dragon Flight waged a war of subjugation. There are two opinions on this event. The official history states that the dragons, acting as a benevolent force, intervened on the human's behalf in order to "save them from themselves". The probably more likely course of events is the dragons ceased the region in order to gain territorial rights as part of the then-burgeoning Trans-Draconic Federation.
