Those are all the changes made, now how about a little information on the kingdoms! Since what you all know is still a bit limited.

The Kingdom of Keuta: Keuta lies at the very center of the map, Keuta is the hotspot of trade, and the most diverse out of all the kingdoms. Keuta has a very large population and is completely covered in sand as Keuta is a desert kingdom. Though hot and dry, the Keutians have one main water source marked on the map, and smaller underground reservoirs do exists, but are not marked on the map. 

Keuta is the spot for any wannabe merchant or trader to go to if they want to make it big. However competition is tough and so the only room for newbies is in the neighboring towns near the capital. If any trader wishes to set up shop in the capital, the only way to do so is through recognition in Keuta's biggest festival. Know by outsiders as "Keuta's 12 Day Show of Goods". These festivals are only held twice a year, in the third month, Jiren, from the 19th to the 30th. And in the 7th month, Zren, from the 18th to the 29th.

Kingdom Color: Purple

The Kingdom of Duhita: Duhita is the kingdom on the southeast of the map and the origin place of morvics. Famously known for their lavish festivals of dance and combat, Duhita is the best place to go for any party lovers out there. Though the kingdom is primarily covered in thick dark-oak trees, it is perfectly safe from any monsters, but morvics do roam the woods.

Before the creation of Emedo, Duhita was the strongest kingdom, though their population isn't the largest, it isn't the smallest either. Duhita is also famous for their tactics in battle, both in stealth and overall skill in combat. Duhitians value dancing as a primary art and view fighting as a form of dance and is taken very seriously. They have a set of rules known as the Sacred Rules of Battle that are honored by every man, woman, and child, even plenty of morvics. Breaking one of these rules is a huge offense, and if choosing to follow the Death Vows, can result in death.

Duhitians have two very huge and very popular festivals. Held in the fifth month Hovern from the 22nd to the 28th, and ninth month, End from the 30th to the 36th. Both festivals have 3 days of festival activities and 4 days of the actual competition. The festival held in Hovern are the mid-year matches and the winners there are the ones who are favored to win in final matches 4 months later. But newcomers can still be winners even in the end of the year competitions.

Kingdom Color: Red

The Kingdom of Emedo: A smaller and newer kingdom located to the east of Keuta. They haven't been around nearly as long as the other kingdom. There population is close to the smallest only counting citizens and citizens in the army. But with their alliance with Keuta, they have the largest army. Though even an army that size would not protect both kingdoms, which is why the army is just for Emedo, Keuta not needing one since if they were attacked, ALL kingdoms would suffer economically. 

Emedo came into creation after a large war that affected all kingdoms as rebellion broke lose from within each kingdom. After the war, people of every kingdom moved away and claimed the eastern land that once occupied parts of Keuta, Vragan, and Duhita. With the other kingdoms recovering from the war, the small kingdom of Emedo was left with little resources and leadership. Until Adam's ancestor stepped up to the role to lead the kingdom. It was discovered that the hilly plains of Emedo were rich in ores, and Emedo rose to the second richest kingdom, along with domineering military power.

Key celebrations would be the day of Azure, in the month of Azurren named after Azure on the days of the 12th to the 14th. If not for this man Emedo would not be the kingdom it is today.

Kingdom Color: Light Green

The Kingdom of Neim: Neim is mainly grasslands, covered in many field of wheat as Neim is mainly an agricultural kingdom. They rely heavily on their harvests and are very weak overall. Neim is most famous for its countless architectural achievements, as many of the realm's greatest builder come from Neim.

Many years ago, troops from Emedo moved in and took over many parts of the kingdom, even leaving its royalty under the might of Emedo. Emedo frequently takes able men from Neim as soldiers to their army, some staying in Neim to fight, or others moving to the main base in Emedo. It is a dark time in Neim,  with little freedom for its people and even littler freedom for the king and his family as their forced to comply to Emedo.

Kingdom Color: Orange

The Kingdom of Vragan: Vragan has always been an icy kingdom, the northern half dominated by dangerous mountains and the east half covered in thick spruce woods. Vragan is the home of sorcerers, and is the smallest kingdom with the smallest population.

Vragan is know for its cold summers and even colder winters, they are also seen as a mysterious kingdom with dark powers and doesn't welcome visitors. Though understandable after almost being wiped out, not to mention the complete anhialation of one of their towns. Vragan also considers dance an art as dancing and music are a big part of their celebrations. 

Every 90 days out of the 360 day year, the Vragans hold a celebration in honor of their god the Nyx, or the Night Dragon. They make constant sacrifices of food, gold, and livestock. Though on special occasions human sacrifices are made. Sacrifices of willing people will travel to the mountains for the night, and depending on the status of their fate, whether peacefully sleeping or ripped to shreds will determine their god's answer to their prayers. No sacrifice returns alive, except Ty's case.

Kingdom Color: Blue

The Kingdom of Eflido: This swampy and woodsy kingdom is well know for their technological advancements. Their adept ability in using redstone makes them a force of great intelligence. This kingdom is located on the southwestern part of the realm.

This kingdom has a similar festival as Keuta in which inventions are showcased. In the first month, Etheren from the 28th to the 32nd, and in the sixth month, Neth on the 11th to the 15th. Efliden people aren't usually super religious and are more logic based. Though this kingdom is filled with many machines, their military power is right in the middle. With Emedo at the top, Duhita next, then Eflido, Vragan, and Neim. Keuta not needing a military for several reasons.

Kingdom Color: Dark Green
