Relanter

Relanter is both the name for the confederation of islands in the great inner sea, and the name of the centre-most island, from which the Relian people originate.

They worship the Sanhedrin, a race of higher beings that claim to have been given a mission by the creator himself. this mission is to keep a balance between all forces of alignement; good, evil, law and chaos.

the worship of the Sanhedrin has made Relian society very restrained and philosophical. they dedicate themselves to keeping to a balance in all things.

Long ago they attempted to serve the balance by building an empire which would span the world, and then enforce their teachings upon everyone. But the Sanhedrin themselves eventually came to see this plan as problematic, and ordered it to be disbanded. The disbanding of this great theocratic naval empire has become something of an Epoch Event for the peoples of the Inner sea. Time is sometimes measured in the number of years since the disbanding of the Relanter Theocracy and refered to as the 'Free Age'
