Bronté

(Main Article: The World of Avalon )

A smaller nation caught between two superpowers, Bronté has become deft at political manipulation. Its borders are constantly shifting due to pressures from Alexandros and North Dalimar, but the tiny kingdom still manages to remain independent. Skilled bargainers, the people not only trade overseas with Issaria, but out negotiate their neighbours on a regular basis. They have little military power to speak of, and so tend to barter their way out of conflict. A large scale invasion would be devastating to them: open war between the North and South would rip the tiny nation apart.

They import large quantities of spices and silks from overseas. They also have a vast fishing industry, bordering both the Central Sea and Serra’s Tear. The people of Bronté are seen as intelligent and industrious, but are known to be deceptive, and are stereotyped as untrustworthy.

Serra's Tear
The great central lake at the heart of Alexandria is used by fishermen, traders and occasionally, military vessels. Alexandros, North Dalimar, Bronté, and Beralise border the impressive source, each utilizing it and revering it in their own way. Many consider the waters sacred, as Serra’s Tear is home to the Lady of the Lake.
