	; [[Byssia]] : Trapped between the [[Mountains of Night]] and the [[Gap-tooth Bay]], this nation is home to elves and humans. Known for their refusal to worship the [[Congregation]], they are the foremost practitioners of the druidic arts. To the east is the savage [[Blood-thirst Wildlands]]; to the west is [[Auringon]] and the threat of the [[Tlalocana]] lurking in the south around the bay.
	; [[Crisial Kingdom]] : Founded on the southern shore of [[Lake Coy'in]] from the union of part of the [[Council Lands]] with the [[Horse Clans]] of the [[Lupaus Plains]], the Crisial Kingdom strives to be a shining light to the world, showing the beneficial side of arcane magic, mixed with benevolence.		[[Auringon]] : A small nation of high elves and humans, the Auringon lived in peace for generations on the [[Lost Coast]]. Recently, a wave of refugees fleeing the expansionist [[Tlalocana]] have upset their order. As of 251 AC, they have signed a treaty of union, preparatory to entry into the Council.
	; The [[Duarchy of Kotimaa]] : Covering the region to the north of the [[Sea of Grass]] as well as part of [[Kotimaa]], the Duarchy is really two nations, united in their desire not to be ruled by anyone else. From the variegated peoples of [[Godsfall]] to the proud nobles of [[Dreamshore]], the Kotimaans are a sturdy lot with much history (mostly in ruins).
	; The [[Free State of Rauviz]] : A merchant-run city-state on the eastern shore of [[Lake Coy'in]], Rauviz is a center of trade and has taken the mantle of most cosmopolitan city.

	; The [[Holy Kaelthian Republic]]: Covering the [[Sea of Grass]] and down into the badlands of [[Moon's Fall Vengeance]], the wall-builders of the HKR believe in faith and community. A theocratic republic, they believe themselves led by the gods. Their neighbors aren't so sure.
	; The [[Serpent Dominion]] : The southernmost of the nations of the [[Jungle of Fangs]], the SD is a caste-oriented, very religious nation of humans, half-elves, and [[ophidian]]s.

	; [[Sha'slar Autonomous Zone]] : Theoretically a military dictatorship, the SAZ is the northern of the three nations of the [[Jungle of Fangs]]. In reality, it has little centralization and most of its towns act independently, more like a bunch of allied city-states. Optimistic and welcoming, the SAZ is growing rapidly.
	; The [[Uulan Confederacy]] : Buried under the [[Ringwall Mountains]] to the east of the [[Sea of Grass]], the UC is a dwarven-dominated collection of clan-holds and associated hangers-on.
