Ayixpi

= Ayixpi = Ayixpi is the one true haven for ixisan on the continent of Drakontas. While they are allowed to be citizens in Jaskirri or Aveyma, the two democratic nations on either end of the continent, to be an ixisan in either place is to be an outcast and invite confrontation. (Although some ixisan thrive on that.) Ayixpi also is home to the largest number of ixipaz, though many are slaves or lower-class citizens there.

Ayixpi is bordered to the east by Quayimar, the northeast by Kejarrik, the northwest by Narsuri, and the west by Esslaris. No relations are friendly; all border on hostility.

A mixture of hills, mountains, and jungle, Ayixpi has a variety of communities in a variety of settings. There is the large mountain town of Huacti made from a series of caverns and tunnels along the underground section of the Xica River. There's also the treetop city of Opecatli, very large, spanning for over ten miles in diameter and walled in by stone walls some fifty feet high and ten feet thick.

Ayixpi has a very prominent slave trade, and it has been known to do business with Kejarrik and Quayimar once in a while even though it is not exactly on friendly terms with either. Their slaves are often forcefully bred, and they force the ixipaz who cultivate fruits and vegetables to tribute their harvests to feed the slaves so that the slaves remain healthy for when the ixipaz do what they truly raise their slaves for: use their bodies for sustenance. Some are merely drained of blood, others killed and their carcasses eaten.

Trespassers have no rights in the nation, but diplomats, required to wear an orange cloak and carry a letter of recognition, are left alone... usually. There have been misunderstandings about cloaks being stolen or lost, and accidents that follow from the result. These are uncommon as Ayixpi does recognize that some nations are only looking for a good enough reason to go to war... a circumstance which would prove very messy to both sides as Ayixpi has a large population. As one can imagine Ayixpi sets up forces to guard the border (boltwardens, as they are known) and to keep slaves or refugee ixisan from leaving.

Ayixpi is ruled by Scourge Nahactec.
