Akrasa, also called "The Sea of Grass", is one of the Inner Three nations of Bant on Alara.[1] As the sobriquet suggests, Akrasa is made up of fertile land all used for agriculture.
Several knightly orders are based in Akrasa, and its own armies are quite large.[1] Akrasa has the largest number of ancient towers and castles of any kingdom and the largest Blessed caste in Bant. While every other caste is well represented and respected, in Akrasa, the Blessed rule with the support of the military. When a Blessed speaks in Akrasa, the ground itself is said to listen.
Akrasa does not have any large bodies of mounted troops.[1] Their knights ride leotau and are mostly Mortars who believe their martial experience gives them a higher status than other Mortars. Outside of Akrasa this is seen as utter pretension and many a brawl has started when a non-Akrasan refused to treat an Akrasan regimentarian with the respect that they believe they're due.
Every year Akrasa holds a tournament in which knights from all Bant compete for an Akrasan sigil and the kiss of an angel.[2]
