Astridia
From theFarWilds
The Astridians are a strange, nearly emotionless, and highly intellectual people that developed among the crumbling remains of the ancient kingdoms. They call their nations Astridia collectively, though they have no borders. The Astridians are politically neutral and have a presence in nearly every kingdom, with the exception of Cor Mollion (lthough the Empire does unofficially have cordial political relations with Astridia.) The Astridians are generally regarded as the best businessmen and trades as well as diplomats.
