Overview
The dominant political force in the Central Asian Hubs. The Confederation rose from the post-liberation military structures over a thousand years — the former slave-legions, freed, reorganized, and slowly consolidated into the region's principal power broker. Nominal warlord governance provides visible authority; significant political complexity operates underneath. Their relationship with the Orc Steppe Confederations is the region's defining structural tension: shared ancestry, divergent paths (settled and mercantile vs. nomadic and pastoral), and a thousand years of accumulating difference.
