Kirelsag

Kirelsag was left broken and impoverished twenty years ago by the Cogad Mor. Recently, Kirelsag has become stronger under a charismatic new leader, Chancellor Soren. They have expanded their influence by offering "protection" to outlying towns and villages. Egas worshippers, a little-known sect twenty years ago, are now the dominant religion in Kirelsag. Egas worship is enforced by the state, and worshipping other gods is considered heresy. Magic is deemed unholy and is outlawed. Weapon possession is prohibited, except by the soldiers of Kirelsag. And their justice system is brutal. Hungry children's hands have been severed for stealing bread.

What's more, elves are persona non grata in Kirelsag. They are banned from entering the city or any of its controlled lands. The populace believes that elves are turned away or banished. But they are actully captured and either killed or enslaved.
