Chessenta

Prior to the Spellplague, Chessenta was a country of individual city-states that were often at war with one another. The city of Cimbar was the theoretical capital of Chessenta as it was the definitive capital of Tchazzar's brief Chessentan Empire.

After Chessenta defeated Threskel in 1479 DR, Threskel became a vassal state.

Culture
While they appreciate culture and theatre, the culture of the Chessentans revolves around war and war heroes. Magic is distrusted by most Chessentans but when Tchazzar returned he legalized magic and enacted laws protecting mages.

Diplomatic Relations
Post-spellplague, Chessenta has extremely chilly relations with High Imaskar and the two countries often engage in naval raids. Chessenta has friendly relations with Akanûl but is on the verge of war with Tymanther.
