Rohaj

Despite their general attitude, Rohaj was the last land to join in the rebellion. Civic leaders of Rohaj felt, up until just before the Battle of Point Carsa, negotiations could settle the conflict and minimize the bloodshed. Rohaj joined the rebellion when the leaders felt the Emperor would not listen any longer to their pleas, and sailed their fleet towards Point Carsa. This action prompted the Emperor’s attack. If Rohaj’s fleet joined up with the rest of the rebellion’s sizable fleet, the Empire would easily have been overpowered. The Battle of Point Carsa happened two days before the arrival of the main body of the Rohajian fleet, but scout ships sent ahead did get into the conflict.

King Phaedar rules the land of Rohaj. He is related to the king of Nieton, Fredrick Rengate. Unlike his relative, Phaedar has a greater calling. He is a holy warrior in service with Minerva. The marriage between church and state works well for Rohaj. Phaedar is a fine ruler, despite the fact it was his insistence on negotiation which delayed Rohaj’s inclusion in the war against the Empire.

Rohaj is the second largest country in the known world. A large forest is near the eastern border, while the rest of the country is one, vast grassland. It is bordered on one side by the isolationist Cybalines, and on the other by the expanionistic Hausbeckians.

Rohaj’s population is rather evenly divided compared to some lands. Humans are still the majority, but elves and dwarves both have large population segments. With such diversity, Rohaj’s choice of government seems a bit strange. Rohaj became a feudal monarchy, with Phaedar crowned king. Phaedar is a very fair and just ruler, so perhaps this choice was best.

Rohaj is also the third most populous land. Five different cities are scattered throughout. Militarily, Rohaj is the second largest force in the known world. This is despite only having 9 in 100 men in the militia. The quality of this force is questionable. The force saw no real fighting during the rebellion, having joined so late. Rohaj’s navy did see some action, but could only be rated a bit above that of the Empire. The knights of Rohaj do not follow that of the militia. It is because of the knight’s skills Rohaj is considered nearly unbeatable in land battles.
