The continent is unexplored beyond the jungles at the south of the Beastlands, the western deserts of Hlar'Vila and the Northern Ridge of Gagnerian Empire.The Seven Baronies
The main territories comprising the former Melurbian Empire. Now separate nations, the Baronies are still the collective term for the seven strongest human nations: Estivinia, Ganlay, Ghantra, Irelia, New Braghney, Tedrox, and The Whitelands (also called the Kingdom of Berna).
Gagneria
The Gagnerian Empire is a vast orcish-controlled state located to the north of the Seven Baronies (bordering on New Braghney, Tedrox, Irelia, and the Whitelands), east of the Dwarven Confederation, and west of the Sarox Sea.
The Free City of Serin
The Free City of Serin is a walled city-state located in eastern Irelia and entirely surrounded by that nation.
Tarsk
Tarsk is a Small, mountainous border province between Ghantra and New Braghney, also bordering the Dwarven Confederation.The Unorganized Territories
A collection of approximately 300 petty states located south of the Seven Baronies . They are collectively referred to as “unorganized” because they have never been unified and have never been a part of the Melurbian Empire as a whole, although individual states have briefly been claimed by various larger powers (including Melurbia) and occasional “empires” have appeared among them due to the ambitions of specific states and their rulers. The Unorganized Territories include a variety of religions, cultures, and forms of government. Two of the more prominent ones are ((The Talagrán Empire)) south of Estivinia and the tiny kingdom of Skant south of Ghantra , which Ghantra has attempted to claim in recent years.
The Disputed Territories
A collection of territories bordered on the north by Hlar'Vila, on the northeast by the Dwarven Confederation, on the east by Ghantra, and on the southeast by the Unorganized Territories, these lands are claimed by one or more of the Seven Baronies, but not decisively held by any in most cases(1). The only Disputed Territory that has had a significant impact on game plot is the tiny, fabled nation of Winnebago.
