Theikon
http://lore.layonara.com/portraits/archer_h.jpg
Western Border: Mount Heralis
Eastern Border: Soreon Ridge
The kingdom of Theikon has strong ties to the elves of Ieralin forest. At it's founding, the new kingdom was constantly at odds with the "wood folk". After years of skirmishes an all out war seemed imminent. An unlikely band of heroes was able to avert this disaster. Able to arrange a meeting between King Aaron of Theikon and Queen Xanaphia of the Elves, the bard Eldon, used his skills to encourage diplomatic talks. After several such meetings over the course of a year, the King and Queen fell in love and cemented the governing bodies into one at the new capital of Iliander.
King Aaron and Queen Xanaphia have since passed on, leaving the rule of Theikon to Prince Aaron II and Princess Anastrianna.
Isteroth

Northern Border: Madsud River
Southern Border: Fort Mirance
The Isterothi people are the pinnacle of nobility, honour, and valour, or so they would have you believe. While it is true many Isterothi knights posses these qualities and are a force to be reckoned with, the main body of the population are just as conniving and scheming as anyone else. In fact the common man must lie, cheat, and steal to make anything of himself.
Isteroth's southern border, Fort Mirance, has been experiencing a good deal of tension over the last 2 years since the coup in Erenon. As a result the Mirance River is heavily patrolled and anyone discovered to be an Eren can expect suspicion, if not outright hostility from the average Isterothi.
Amerys
https://romanencyclopedia.wikispaces.com/file/view/gladiators.gif
Northern Border: Deranos Mountains
The Freelands of Amerys is not so much a nation, as a loose collection of cities, each boasting its own ruler and set of laws. Almost every freelander shares a love for gladiatorial combat and games, it is considered an honour to be chosen to compete on your cities team of fighters. Amerys has an overabundance of mercenary companies, if there's a major battle in any corner of Valcia, An Amerian will be involved.
Erenon
http://www.dicingdangers.com/s/gallery/9/9040-dragon-rider.jpg
Northern Border: Mirance River
Southeastern Border: Ragneron Forest
Sometimes known as The Dragonlands, the Eren people for as long as anyone can remember have always been close to dragons. It is said every native Eren has a drop of dragon blood in them. Two years ago Dragonlord Haurach'Ixen staged a coup and replaced the previous King. Haurach'Ixen now rules Veir with an iron fist, however, for the majority of those living outside the capital, nothing has changed. Flights of Dragons carrying Wyrmguards are still a common sight, and the expansion of Erenon's borders continues. Haurach's main goal is to log Ragneron Forest and reach the ruins of Enra, where it is said somewhere in the lost elven city lies a great library. However the forest's inhabitants are not going down without a fight. In fact the fey and forestkith are the only thing keeping Erenon and Isteroth from all out war.
The Wastes
http://www.scenicreflections.com/ithumbs/Desert_Demons_Wallpaper__yvt2.jpg
Stretching from the Rue Wilderness to the Gragarian Desert, the wastes are home to nomadic tribes of various races all of who engage in the slave trade. Home to fearsome creatures from the darkest of nightmares The Wastes is not somewhere a normal person wants to travel. The only city is Evisys, the slave capital of Valcia, there one can find whatever they desire. Although both Isteroth and Theikon express the desire to raze the city, it will never come to pass, marching an army across the wastes would be foolish, and advancing through Caeras Valley? In the wastes that is a phrase meaning suicide.
