Mideland

Eth Meidnotrali (commonly called the Mideland) is not a nation or kingdom, it is an unclaimed region in the center of Jord. In the aftermath of the Aliahn Rebellion negotiations were held between Velha and Aliah. During those negotiations the first king of Aliah decided to not take claim to the southeastern regions of Velha. These lands were empty of illithyst and were primarily used for farming. However they surrounded the lands of the Quari people. The king of Aliah wished for the lands of the Quari to be more readily accessible by the other nations for he valued their neutrality and wisdom. It was decided that the lands would remain a neutral place as well. The cities there would be allowed to govern themselves. Many of them were deserted, the people did not want to be without the protection of an army. The Velhanni and Aliahn armies were tasked with keeping the peace in these lands after it became apparent that they could not defend themselves. This peacekeeping, along with the delicate history of Eth Meidnotrali's governing, has led to a tangled mess of politicking between the cities and townships.
