Empire of the Caucasus
The Empire of the Caucasus is a Kingdom of the Kithain in Turkey and the Caspian Sea Basin.
Overview
This vast area includes Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. The changelings of this region, in their mortal form, strive to conform to current social mores to avoid calling attention to themselves. When they gather together in their freeholds, often spots visited by European tourists where they do not stand out so much, they interact with the Dreaming in ways familiar to most of the fae. The current Padishah (or emperor), Karim ibn Hassan ap Gwydion, has chosen to model his rule after the romantic trappings of the Arabian Nights. Courtiers wear elaborate clothing in the style of ancient Turks. Nobles rule the commoners, although occasionally a commoner may distinguish themself and join the ranks of the nobility.
