The Free City of Irlas was founded by an army of dwarves and dragonborn who came together to defeat Evyngazak, a greedy green dragon who slumbered off the coast of Citica. He stole the wealth of a dwarven kingdom and hid it away in the Mons Gastepa. After reclaiming their treasures, the dwarves found they were burdened with an encumbrance of wealth that they were unable to move from the lair. The city of Irlas was formed atop the treasure-laden lair and a council made to rule over the land. Some of the human clans of the region have joined into the constitution and have since bargained for ownership of the city. Today Irlas is the main hub of all of Citica. The city is run by a council of members who oversee everything from trade and defense, to education and other upkeep.
