Sila is a union of several provinces, duchies and smaller realms that were founded along the southern coast over the past millenium. During The Century of War, these realms formed an alliance to weather the storm and have stuck together ever since.

Sila has a unique government in that the individual rulers come together twice a year to discuss matters and set policy. One meeting, in spring, is attended by the rulers of each province in person. The second one, in summer, is a conference of advisors and diplomats and discusses the details of the general policies set by the rulers.

Over the decades, this process as harmonized the provinces and their individual laws and customs, but on paper each of them retains full autonomy. It has also lead to a basic set of rights for all citizens of Sila, even the poorest and the slaves.

Speaking of slaves, Sila is one of the realms where slavery is legal and slaves are considered property of their owners. But slaves can own property by themselves and there are some slaves who have made it far despite never becoming free. Slavery can be a punishment for serious crimes or debt, and can be time-limited depending on the severity of crime or amount of debt. Children born to slaves are also slaves.
