Bryas-

The land of Bryas is an extensive territory located west of the banks of Kintzheim and north of the gates of Vigo. Its southern borders are delimited by the sea, while those to the north are lost in the hostile and little-known regions of the Terres d'Auquesse. Bryas' territory is under the control of numerous warlords divided into clans, living semi-nomadically, trading salt, honey, furs, and, above all, selling slaves to the Kingdoms of Nasgaroth, Arganne, and the Empire. While these clans are prosperous, war and slavery have been common for hundreds of years. There are eight major peoples, also known as tribes, in Bryas, divided into a multitude of clans. Each people has its own customs and morals, along with a specific part of the Bryas region. The Tanech, Guth, and Huton peoples are known for having most of the warrior clans, while the Alvaz, Katan, Kin-La, Byre, and Kahouna peoples include the majority of clans from which the slaves come. The Bryas slave market is by far the largest slave trading network in the known world. The only other real competitor is the Land of Sands, which also supplies the Kingdom of Arganne and the Eastern coast of the Empire. The Bryas market, a true economic pillar, has often been an object of desire, leading to conflicts, but throughout modern history, it was never in serious danger, at least until 1002 CE by Gar III... Since the end of the tenth century, the market was practically controlled by Maieur de Herdal, a key figure in the slave trade. He did business with three groups that held a monopoly on trade: House Osgoroth, mandated supplier by the Kingdom of Nasgaroth; the Vand'hal guild, supplying the lucrative imperial market; and the merchant guild of Lambertrand's companions, ensuring the needs of the rich landowners of the Kingdom of Arganne were met. The ever-growing demand for slaves caused their price to rise, escalating tension between the three networks. This tension transformed into open war upon the announcement of Maieur de Herdal's death. Accusing each other of murder and each claiming total control of the slaves in Bryas, the three guilds sparked a large-scale conflict that spread beyond the Land of Bryas. Many mercenaries under the orders of the Gargoyle of Lambertrand, the Vand'hal people led by King Awen Morjambe, and the Nasgaroth Battalions commanded by Count Ashtar Osgoroth vowed to settle the fate of Bryas. A fourth front, an anti-slavery movement unofficially supported by the Kingdom of Ozame, also joined the conflict. At the end of the summer of 1002, grossly outnumbered and braving enemy fire, the forces led by the coalition of King Morjambe and House Osgoroth achieved a spectacular feat by annihilating Lambertrand's forces. An agreement was then reached between the Vand'hal people and House Osgoroth for the sharing of the Bryas market. Anti-slavery activists did not throw in the towel and promised a war of attrition. The year 1004 also experienced a difficult episode in this sense when Lord Ashtar Osgoroth made the decision to free a number of slaves in his lands of Nasgaroth. Some revolts then fomented in Bryas, but the Guth tribe put them down with force. It was in Nasgaroth itself that the effects were most felt. Responsibility for the trade for Nasgaroth has since been removed from the hands of Lord Ashtar Osgoroth, now removed from office. Many thought that a new conflict would then break out, but the diplomatic corps of the Vand'hal people succeeded, once again against all odds, in preserving the agreements of 1002 and thus maintaining stability in Bryas.
