Ekbir City

Ekbir is the strongest city of the Bakluni in the Flanaess. Founded by survivors of the Invoked Devastation, the small port quickly grew into a place for nomads' goods as well. The original village grew into a walled town, and town grew into thriving city. Ekbir controls a sizable territory and has a large war fleet. Her forces consist principally of light and medium cavalry, although there are 1,000 heavy foot in her standing army, which is reported to number some 5,000 soldiers.

Kanak

Only a small portion of the rolling plains inhabited by nomadic Baklunish tribes falls within the Flanaess. The pair which is on our portion of the continent is sometimes nearly empty of human life, and at other times it is reported to swarm with horsemen. These nomads evidently move out of the Dry Steppes region when summer makes the area an arid waste, and return there in the rainy season. The horsed nomads of the plains are poorly armored but very mobile troops. The most lightly protected wield short, powerful horn bows and light curved swords, while the remainder employ light lance and mace or flail. Little else is known. The western states such as Ket, Tusmit, and Ekbir will often employ forces of mercenary Paynim nomads against each other or other marauding nomads.

Lopolla

Ket is the frontier state of the Baklunish and a trading center between eastern Flanaess and the world beyond. For many decades it has alternately menaced the Oeridian/Suloise states east and south and threatened them by invasion. Despite this continual warfare, the land flourished due to the rich trade with the Paynim tribes, Tusmit, Ekbir, Perrenland, Bissel, and Veluna. Goods from Zeif and Wintershiven pass through Lopolla. This mixture of cultures includes the people themselves, for the Ketites are of mixed racial stock, albeit of Baklunish culture for the most part.

Yecha

A squalid encampment surrounded by earth and timber walls, Yecha serves as the capital city of the Tiger nomads.. Tiger nomads are unmatched as mounted archers. Women make up a higher proportion of the Fighters and Fighter-Clerics of the Tiger Nomads.

Dantredun

Possibly the most remote realm in all the Flanaess, Dantredun is situated between the western shores of the Icy Sea and the eastern edge of the Burneal Forest. Also including the northern fringe of the Cold Marshes and fully encompassing the Gloom-fens, which the locals have named the norther arm of the marshes.

Vlekstaad

A frigid climate and brutal regime combine to make Stonehold one of the harshest lands in all the Flanaess. Bounded to the west and north by the Icy Sea, Stonehold's southern and eastern borders are formed by the Griffs and Corusks. The majority of Stoneholders live a semi-nomadic existence, moving to the northern tundra in summer and migrating south in the autumn. The remaining third dwell in permanent settlements, mostly west of the Frozen River. Brute strength has long been the main virtue espoused by the people of this land, and treachery of byword of her leaders. Vlekstadd was burned and Razed three years ago by Sevvord Redbeard.

Soull

Located on the southern coastal region of the Thillonrian peninsula, Soull is the capital city of the Snow Barbarians (Schnai). Most numerous of the Suel in the northern, they are also considered the best example of unmixed Suloise race, many being as pale as their namesake northern snows. They still assert their supremacy over the Ice and Frost Barbarians, but such claims are now being ignored by their neighbors. Trade continues between the three barbarian states as it always has, and they freely mingle together on raiding expeditions to the southern lands. Shipwrights of the Snow Barbarians are still considered to be the most skilled in Rhizia, and Schnai captains are felt to be the luckiest.

Rockroost

The lands of the Bandit Kings are arable but not especially fertile, being rocky and grossly over farmed. One of the most stunning geographical features of the continent can be found here. The foreboding Rift Canyon. Most know it as a den of foul creatures and strange magical conditions. Presently, it is infested with bandits fighting against the forces of Iuz. Though Iuz’s forces occupy the land, some old political divisions remain, even if entire populations do not.AL: CE*, CN, NE, N, LE, CG

Kalstrand

The United Kingdom of Ahlissa is the official title of the remainder of the central and southern lands that once comprised the vast Great Kingdom. At its height, the empire spanned the Flanaess from the Solnor Coast to the Fals Gap, from the Azure Sea in the south to the Icy Sea in the north, leaving its cultural imprint on every realm in between. Today, the kingdom is a shadow of its former self, as wars of independence and centuries of conflict have sundered the once great empire. . The people of these lands are largely an Oeridian-Suel mix; some orcs and goblinoids are here, but few elves, gnomes, and halflings exist except in the forests and hills. At one time these were the richest provinces of the Great Kingdom, but years of war have reduced much of the economy to tatters.

Pitchfield

Sunndi is most notable for the harmony between the different races who live there. The grey elven Lord of Sunndi is careful to take pletiful advice not just from his own people, who prowl the woodlands, but from the gnomes and mountain dwarves who mine and man defenses in the Glorioles, Hestermark Highlands, and Hollow Mountains. The Sunndi hillmen are fine shots with slings and crossbows. Population: 65,000 = Humans (55%), Gray Elves (25%), Mountain Dwarves (10%), Gnomes (5%), and others (5%).

Asperdi

The sovereignty known commonly as the realm of the Sea Barons is located off the eastern coast of the Flanaess in the Solnor Ocean, seperated from the Aerdi coastline by the Bay of Gates.

Irongate

Irongate is a free and independent city located on the eastern coast of the Azure Sea. The fortress city is one of the few Oeridian-controlled ports on the largely Suel-dominated southern waterways. Irongate is both a founding member and the head-quarters of the alliance known as the Iron League. Irongate maintains a large and powerful standing force that includes human and dwarven regulars. Irongate is most famous for the high quality iron ore that has been the stock and trade of the local dwarves for centuries. However its most important industry is undoutedly the mining and metalwork for which the place is universally heralded. If something is found to be unbending or unbreakable it must have been forged in Irongate.

Sulward

This is a collective name given to a small series of island states off the southeastern coast of the Flanaess. These seven isles range in size from an area nearly equal to the largest of the Lendore Isles to a tiny islet barley 30 miles accoss.
