Free Cities of the Western Reaches

The Free Cities of the Western reaches are city states under Cassian Senate rule across the west. While they remain autonomous and keep some measure of home rule, they are under protection of the Cassian legions and must conform to Cassian Law.

While the rural parts of the Western Reaches are ruled by Provincial Governors appointed by the Cassian Senate, each Free City is able to form it's own government and elect it's own ruler. The Cassian Senate does however appoint a Lord Chancellor to each Free City to ensure the peaceful administration of government.

Some of the Free Cities resent Cassian rule, but all but the most hard-hearted must admit that Cassian rule has ushered in an era of untold peace and prosperity across the west.

The some of the prominent Free Cities are:
 * Orlay, the great port city
 * San Siro, the banking capitol of the west
 * Lyon, cultural epicenter
