The Orothmuk Peace Conglomerate

Despite the various tensions that lie scattered across the face of the continent, the Orothmuk Woods has remained a refuge from violence. The gnomes that make up the majority of its population are not a militarised folk. This is not to say, however, that they have no stake in the brewing conflict. The manifestation of their sentiment on the matter is the Peace Conglomerate. Run by Corcorin, the mayor of Ryst, the organisation functions primarily as a neutral debating ground of sorts, hosting discussions between groups that might otherwise never meet in a weapon-free setting.

There are some who question its efficacy, and denounce it as nothing more than a political theatre, where no real agreements are made. Yet others claim it to be a farce set up and sponsored by the Mulan. Corcorin, however, denies both these claims fervently.
