Tell me about Lodroedan

Here, one cannot speak of a single empire. It is an association of individual small empires that join together in times of need and to defend their wealth. Money is everything here. Whoever has a lot of money here also has a lot of power. The only morality that is followed here is that of money and honor. Besides money, the credibility of the word is almost as important, because most agreements are based only on the word.
