COUNTRIES
Altan✵ownership of this land of arid steppes is often a hot topic of debate, but for the moment the Altanese remain free. The fact that the Altanese have been left to continue their nomadic traditions is due in no small part to the Red Wastes, a deadly desert that divides them from the Vesennan Empire's Highlands. Its capital- although this word is used loosely in Altan- is Kheotgor. There is also no formal government in Altan. Instead, its many tribes are each headed by their own respective Khan, or chief. Attempts have been made in the past to unite the steppes, the most recent and famous attempt made by the bastard prince of a Vesennan Emperor and an Altanese woman, Khenbish Yul (or, as he was later known, Emperor Huangzhi).
Benevecchia✵nobility and serfs alike flock to this country's capital, Terafali, just for a chance to witness the grandeur of its canals. Its summers are hot and humid, and winters hardly have any snow. It is ruled by twelve Doges who each hold power over their own city-states.
Edeiros✵dynasty. Family. Tradition. The ideals that once held the nation of Edeiros together have crumbled. After the collapse of the Casillis regime and the disappearance of the last remaining member of House Aguilar—the former royal House—the country has been left in disarray. Its powerful noble families have held control over the country for over a decadewhile the lower class stagnates and starves. Former Edeiran territories include the Fermerran Islands, Engana, Wilshore and Tondo.
Engana✵once a territory of the Vesennan Empire, Engana was used as a place to dispose of undesirable and subversive elements. These criminals were forced to work on plantations until they died of exhaustion and starvation. It was no surprise that when the Edeirans invaded, the Enganese defected. In exchange for their aid in the war, they were awarded sovereignty by King Roderic de Aguilar. The capital of Engana is Shahiveh.
[The] Highlands✵part of the fractured Vesennan Empire. The Highlands are not actually higher in elevation than any other place. Rather, the Highlands are defined by their populace, as they are lighter, taller, and notably richer than their Lowlands counterparts. The capital of the Highlands is the Imperial Jade City of Liandao.
Leisenstracht✵the largest country in Oritias by landmass, Leisenstracht is embroiled in war. Their adversary, Solnaya, struck first in the border town of Romhalde, crossing the Spikes--or, as the area is called in Leis, die Stacheln. The Leis king, Wilhelm von Eberhardt, is bent on ending the war once and for all. The Leis capital is Aubernin.
[The] Lowlands✵another part of the fractured Vesennan Empire. The Lowlands have two capitals, Dendara and Tangmay, both governed by warring factions who have been trying to overthrow the other for two decades.
