Kriptos

Kriptos is a Constituent Country of the Confederation of Great Hegi. A large, narrow island off the coast of the Southeastern Czunglish region of Svamantaszag, across the Kriptos Strait, Kriptos is an often beguiled confederate, home to the bizarre Kripti people. Kriptos is mountainous, and damp, obscured by thunderstorms from above, and covered in acidic bogs and swamps from below, Kriptos may be entirely impossible to navigate for a non-magical individual.

Kriptos' capital and largest city is Lovil, an odd city with shops on the side of walls. Kriptis are magic-wielders, and infrastructure across Kriptos is built to accommodate that. Other large cities include Vonsin, Silrate, and Soucanard.

Kriptos is home to the Kripti people, a group hard to understand for outsiders, including fellow Hegiites. Kriptis were once the Swamanti, a Notogiite people with its own language, but were wiped from their homeland by a Czunglish conquest in the 1500's. Since marooned on the isle of Kriptos, an unkind history for these people has since stripped them of their language, and has created an odd situation on the island. The north is entirely Czunglish-speaking, and Mituist, while the south is entirely Antikan-speaking, and Cattholic. The stark divide on the island has left the nation sometimes crippled, far behind the other confederates. The unique ability of the Kriptis is their ability to wield magic, which they rarely use for anything useful. Kriptos, as so often, is relegated to lower tier in modern Great Hegi, left to cloud amongst itself.
