Chessenta is a country of individual city-states that are often at war with one another. As such, the region is ripe with opportunities for adventurers and mercenaries alike. While they appreciate culture and theatre, the culture of the Chessentans revolves around war and war heroes. The city of Cimbar is the theoretical capital of Chessenta^[1] as it was the definitive capital of Tchazzar's brief Chessentan Empire.^[2]
