Major Kingdoms and Empires

To the East and Northeast is the great Vertian Kingdom: A vast and powerful empire where every aspect of life is planned, and lawlessness is severely punished. The cities are very clean, and well maintained as every facet of life is brought under the strict scrutiny of the crown. The capital Vertina is a magically floating island hovering about 1000 feet in the air over.

To the Southwest is the Beinn Kingdom: A mostly mountainous land of industry and progress. Here the value of a single life is small, and it is easy to be forgotten. A dome of protection prevents powerful magic from being used within the borders, and as a result technology has flourished in a large way.

To the North lay the Fatalian Kingdom: A mysterious land mired in ancient traditions, and strange customs. Their borders take no refugees, and tourism is not welcomed. Only those who leave the Kingdom tell their tale. The landscape is suffused with magically shaped wildlife that gives way to beautiful structures. Doorways are said to be able to transport individuals over great distances, and there is said to be a great disconnect between the indoors and outdoors.

To the far West are the wild lands of the Zuerst Empire: Where many clans, guilds, and other factions live in relative peace under a single Emperor who is said to rule with amazing power. Here family is highly valued, and people settle disputes violently and in the moment. By landmass Zuerst is the largest single area ruled by a single faction.

To the Southeast lay the Divlyi Dominion: Where several great houses rule with tyrannical fanaticism over a vast population over hard working minorities. In these lands it is easy to lose everything you have, and be swept out into the streets in moments by the local military. Strength of all kinds is valued, and those without it are often taken advantage of with little regard by their peers.
