Northern continent of Oratoa
(late iron age, Age of Heros)
Ancalimë: Urdan/Elvish. Woodland realm with good quality military being attacked by many, many neighbouring countries.
Pros: Good military, good magic, allied with powerful neighbour.
Cons: Being attacked by all of its other neighbours.
Mark of Orofer: Iluvarian/Human. Small but prosperous realm in the shadow of larger powers.
Pros: Extremely powerful Iluvarian neighbour is military ally.
Cons: Ancalimë is also an ally, Iluvarians recently declared holy war against neighbouring Yagnarists led by the Avatar of Yagnar. Not for the faint of heart.
Tákiwat of Rangkua: Tarotist (Hanged Man)/Human. One of any number of small Tarotist states on the west coast of the continent.
Pros: Potential allies all around.
Cons: Small, hemmed-in, borders much larger realm.
Southern Continent of Sahûl
(late medieval/early renaissance, imperial system)
Draconic Barony of Iäthedein: Urdan/Saurian. Small woodland barony recently established by the Holy Mother. Neighbour to a Wyrm, Tarotist Murali, and the Zarkhandu Yagnarists.
Pros: Good story possibilities, heavily supported by the other Urdans.
Cons: Hemmed in and tiny. Utterly dependent on the largess of the other Urdans for survival.
County of Kachar: Urdan/Malebolge. Island realm on the west coast, formerly part of the Electoral Queendom of Itaxik. A realm built on its navy.
Pros: Good defensive position. With its geography and navy, could be the next Portugal.
Cons: Small and not particularly wealthy. If it turns out that there are no lands to the west, could be the next Ireland.
Republic of Kumara: Renaissance Tarotist sect of the King in Yellow/Wenemet. Small splinter state designed for the Lovecraftian in all of us.
Pros: Coastal, good story possibilities.
Cons: Surrounded by superpowers.
Landgravate of Lynnarvor: Yagnarist/Saurian. Modest, relatively new Yagnarist realm located smack in the middle of the continent on the southern shores of Lake Sardath. Ruled by a Wenemet hero from Atuburrk. Should have good storytelling opportunities.
Pros: All of Lynnarvor’s pros are also its cons. Excellent geographical position (unless the Ice Age comes back – then it’s fairly well done). Large Yagnarist neighbour in Zarkhandu – a potential patron… or predator.
Cons: See “Pros”.
County of Pehuatoka: Urdan/Malebolge. Tiny but proud realm on a potentially rich river valley on the edges of the desert. Formerly part of the Electoral Queendom of Itaxik.
Pros: Lots of development potential. Good history.
Cons: Tiny, poor, at war with a larger neighbour.
