Montañan Confederation

The (, : Confederación Montaña) was a  alliance of seven initial duchies in southwest Alutra now part of present-day Ventora. Over time, two other duchies joined, bringing the total to nine member states. The confederation was primarily an economic and defensive pact with no formal central government other than the Council of Dukes (Consello de Duques). Nonetheless, as the richest duke, the Duke of Ascara was the "first among equals" and was accorded the honorific of Grandee.
