I've recently started running a campaign centered around a dart war in
the Lunar satrapy of Doblian. I was wondering if anyone has any
official dirt of this the most sketchily described of Lunar satrapies
(at least in the Genertela Book).

So far, I've portrayed it a quiet, extremely corrupt place, owing both
to its position far away from any danger to the Empire, and to its
Carmanian heritage (I assume Doblian is one of the satrapies carved out
of Carmania during the founding of the Empire). In my game, being
assigned duty in Doblian (especially Doblian City) is considered
something of a cush job, so the local military and civilian
establishment is full of loafers, losers, and Sgt. Bilko types. The
ruling family is heavily connected with the Krasht Cult, the Lunar
Magic College, and certain scaly aquatic lifeforms living in Lake
Orinin (owing to their Carmanian origins). Any theories to
support/undermine this? Any rumors? Any published sources I should
buy at auction at the next Con for more money than I should really
spend on a game? Let me know.
