Tayyib Turay

A powerful Dwarf kingdom on Tobias Island, Tayyib Turay is the standard-bearer for the Bashara sect of the Markan religion. It is rich in natural resources and eager to appear as pious as possible but it uses its wealth to support radicals and mercenaries to fight its foes and keep its hands clean. Its capital Zorn is among the most populus and prosperous on the island.

Location
Tayyib Turay is located on the west end of Tobias Island with its main settlements centered on the Zoruvalk river. To the north the small duchies of ____, ____, and ____ act as a buffer between it and the Elflands. To the south lies Khulli. 

Geopolitics
Tayyib Turay's chief rival is Khulli, the most powerful Halaby kingdom. The two go through the motions to appear to be allies in Marka but do everything they can behind the scenes to undermine each other. Khulli isn't as rich as their rival but has a strong military that it uses to expand the religion (convert or die is a pretty convincing technique). As part of the PR charade Tayyib Turay often helps fund Khulli wars against non-believers and sends their undesirables (criminals, etc) to serve in the armies but typically funds the other side as well on the downlow. For their part, Khulli often uses the money to fund covert actions against Tayyib Turay. Scattered around these two powers are smaller kingdoms that are used as proxy battlefields between the two. In pockets of the region the old religions still survive and are fiercely defended against the overlords
