The four major human kingdoms, on the central continent:

Hilaga, to the NW, ruled by King Rolando II. He is considered by most to be a fair and generous monarch, loved by his people. Farming and mining of coal and some gems are the major trades.

Kanluran, to the SW, ruled by King Antoine. Considered by some to be a phony, but has successfully defended his claim without arms so far. Likes parties and the social life. Farming and mining of (precious and non-precious) metals.

Timog, to the SE, ruled by Queen Katherina. Succeeded the throne from her husband dying of old age, she is herself fairly old, but still sharp. She runs a tight ship and doesn't take unnecessary risks. Has the largest navy and most noted craftsmen of the human kingdoms.

Silagan, to the NE, ruled by King Mord the Ironfist. Not quite a tyrant, but has the strictest punishments and taxes. Has the strongest military, and offers some of it as mercenaries depending on the situation. Also has the best blacksmiths, and is rumored to employ privateers.


Dwarves:
Good relations with humans, ok with elves. Live on the rim continent Ung. Structured clan government with an overseeing council comprised of one senior member of each of the 15 clans. Dwarves are strong and sturdy, shorter than humans, and due to their ability to see in the dark, mostly live in caves under the mountains, though they do have farmers and foresters.

Elves:
See themselves as superior to the other races, but maintains diplomatic relations. Live on the rim continent Rys, and generally in the trees. They are slightly smarter and nimbler and taller than humans, and are known to have the greatest mages in the world. They have a tiered government, with a single dictator at the top.
