Bohdan

Capital:

The port city of Ralizaj, located in Bohdan is wholly controlled by the Amareth. All not bearing the badge of the Amareth army are forbidden to carry weapons. Outsiders traveling through the city must have their weapons peace-tied and sealed, and a record made of their passing. A broken seal on a weapon is sufficient cause for arrest.
The Amareth also patrol the outlying farms. Those who speak against the Amareth occupation are often arrested on charges of rebellion or heresy. The local nobles have 'officially' converted to Samad. The Amareth navy patrols the harbor, and is the source of Amareth control. Trade in and out of Sclavini is at the mercy of the Amareth, whether across the border of the Amareth region or through the waters controlled by the Amareth navy. Smugglers are executed, from captain to lowest deckhand.
On the plus side, the Amareth have built a chapter house for the healer's guild that, by guild policy, is open to all. They also built a school and orphanage open to those in need, though common is the language spoken. The Amareth do use most of the taxes they collect from the city to build roads, and there are now public fountains with running water in most areas of the city. Both disease and crime have dropped considerably since the Amareth took over.
Ralizaj lies on the river Lachyrma, and trade coming into the down continues upriver until the Marusya canyon (which also forms the border between Bohdan and Andrzej ) makes river travel too hazardous to continue. Four roads, including the road along the river, enter the city. Bandits occasionally attack boats on the river or caravans on the road, but the Amareth response tends to frighten all but the most foolhardy and desperate bandits.

Varenyky

Dumplings

Ingredients:
Dough:
4 cups flour
1 egg
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 cups milk

Potato Filling:
3 pounds potatoes
1 chopped, butter-fried onion (margarine may be substituted)

Directions:
1. Combine 3 cups flour, egg, sour cream, and milk. Mix well. Add and knead in the fourth cup of flour until the dough is smooth and elastic (you may need to add more flour to make it elastic).
2. To make the potato filling, boil the potatoes with water in a large pot until they are soft enough for mashing. Mash the potatoes and add half the butter-fried onions to the potatoes. Do not add milk to the potatoes! Cool the potato mixture before filling the varenyky.
3. Roll out the dough as thin as a piecrust on a floured table. Cut out round shapes with a cookie cutter or glass. Place the round shape in the palm of your hand and add a spoonful of potato filling in its center.
4. Fold over the round shapes to form a half circle. Press the edges together with your fingertips, making sure that the edges are free from the potato filling. Seal the edges.
5. Place the varenyky on a dish towel side by side without touching each other. Cover the varenyky with another dish towel to prevent them from drying out.
6. Drop the varenyky one by one into a large pot of boiling, salted water. Gently stir the varenyky with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Boil the varenyky for 4 to 5 minutes (they should rise to the top of the boiling water when they are finished). Drain the varenyky without letting them touch each other.
7. Smother the varenyky with the remaining diced, butter-fried onions. Serve on a dish with sour cream on the side and dill topping.
