Inhabited by a variety of Pirates, who have formed an ogliarchy of sorts, although it is only a very loose form of government. They patrol the Imurian Sea, the Black Sea, and even as far as the mouth of the Bay of Oerni and the southern Athervon coast, although Athervon's strong navy makes raids that far north rare. They are the primary suppliers of slaves to the Jhonian Empire and Issyria. | Inhabited by a variety of Pirates, who have formed an ogliarchy of sorts, although it is only a very loose form of government.

Jhon was originally a small slip of fertile land boxed in between high mountains, desolate steppes, and the unending desert waste of the Sea of Sand. After the appearance of The Prophet and the rise of the True Faith of A’Salam, the Jhonians initiated an expansion to bring their religion to the world, by force if necessary. They conquered much of the Lands and for over a hundred years held sway over the largest Empire ever known. But in the last century, parts of the Empire have broken away, and it is beginning to contract. Nonetheless, Jhon is still by far the most powerful realm in the Lands. Slavery is legal within Jhon, and it is the second major consumer of slaves in the Lands (Issyria being the first). They are the most advanced human culture with respect to learning, and the schools and colleges and libraries in the Capitol of Ajuhar-al-Sahir are second only to those of the Grey Elves. | Jhon was originally a small slip of fertile land boxed in between high mountains, desolate steppes, and the unending desert waste of the Sea of Sand.

A nation of merchants, is the largest and most powerful of these states, and is the primary rival of Athervon with respect to military power and trade – the two Kingdoms have had several small wars over the years. It is one of the few countries that was not conquered by Jhon, being the limit of the reach of the Empire before it began its current retraction. | A nation of merchants, is the largest and most powerful of these states, and is the primary rival of Athervon with respect to military power and trade – the two Kingdoms have had several small wars over the years.

A large, multicultural Kingdom that encompasses the plains bounded by Dreadwood Forest to the North, The Hazurian steppes to the West, the Lions Teeth Mountains to the South, and the Sea of Serpents to the East. It was conquered by Jhon over 150 years ago, but has always been a difficult subject realm due to its size and geography. Recently, there are rumors that a civil war is brewing in the Kingdom led by some who wish to overthrow the yoke of Jhon. | A large, multicultural Kingdom that encompasses the plains bounded by Dreadwood Forest to the North, The Hazurian steppes to the West, the Lions Teeth Mountains to the South, and the Sea of Serpents to the East.
