A One Page summary of the Midlands - a Low Magic Sandbox Setting I'm in the process of writing. Appreciate any feedback!

I like the layout. It's hard to judge the lore from one page, but it looks like a solid pulp setting. The names are a bit generic, though, and 'Midlands' implies that the region is in the middle of other... things. Is there any information about the lands surrounding this?

Thanks Oudeis, yes the map (about 400 x 300 miles) is the middle of the continent. The region map has no coast, for example, but it does have a massive lake in the centre (kind of inland sea, think Great Lakes).

edit - sorry, the southern border of the Midlands is Nydissia (Nydissian Empire), to the north is Varnor (Varnori, viking like humans). There will also be an "Eastern" nation, haven't got that far yet! Other than that, I will throw in some paragraphs as possible nearby nations, but it will be open to the GM to customise. I imagine most campaigns will stay within the 400 x 300 mile map, but of course players and GMs may well want to venture beyond (especially if they want some proper seafaring action).
