History
Volkanita has been isolated from the rest of the Colonies for much of its history, both geographically and culturally. The mountains of Hilly Holes to the west, and swampy river delta in the north make getting to Volkanita a difficult prospect at best. Most traders are reluctant to jopurney so far out of their way to reach the area, so there is little interaction with the outside world.
Politically, Volkanita has exchanged hands several times between the realms of Outer Tilog and Alebad, and currently belongs to the latter. This cycle of Tilogian oppression and Alebadian generosity has caused the Volkanitan people to resent most outsiders, regardless of their motives. When not fighting off a takeover attempt, Volkania offers plenty of unspoiled wilderness and pristine beachfronts for enjoyment.
Notable Landmarks
During an early period of occupation by Outer Tilog, a "laundry" facility was constructed deep in the swamp. Essentially a giant mudpit, many a Tilogian's clothing was rendered sufficiently filthy to be worn in public. Nobles from miles away would send their wardrobes for a special treatment of Volkanitan swamp mud. The laundry is typicaly ignored during Alebadian occupation, due to it being cleverly disguised as a giant hole filled with mud.
Former Lords
- Sphalerite Erstwile
- Many others lost to history.
