The World
At the centre of the world are Hugaar, Pashnaar and the Star Mountains, over or around which the Sun passes every day.

Lands of the Empire
Alaya
Long after the Saurian domination collapsed, an army of escaped slaves emerged from the Thousand Cities. They settled in the near eastand reasily rebuffed the initial attempts to dislodge them by unleashing demons upon their aggressors. Most recently, in the bloodless Inglorious War, the Pashnaar Empire united with Alaya, to form the Twin Star Empire, much to the chagrin of Sirdehaar. The Alayans have a strange version of Sturianism, involving many elements of Saurian mysticism and magic.
Behind the Mountains
To the East, over the sea, is the Empire's latest conquest, the lands known as Behind the Mountains. Most Potamanchu
Hugaar
Pashnaar
The Saphetian Alliance
A grouping of predominantly coastal city states on the eastern seaboard, including Halys where the game starts, as well as Saphet, Filiers and Sunium. Typically, these states switch allegiance between Hugaar and Sirdehaar, according to convenience, but they are normally considered to be a part of southern Sirdehaar.
The Abbey of St. Anselmo is close to the Convent of Sta. Tereza
Sirdehaar
The northern brother to Hugaar.
Beyond the Empire
The Empire has expanded to cover most of the known world. Beyond its boundaries are lands which are of little interest. Beyond these lie the four edges of the world are impassable and are guarded by Rend.
North - Sirdehaar and the Frozen Forest
Some Sird tribes have never joined the Empire and remain savage and barbarous. Beyond these lies the vast Petrified Forest which is the realm of the Rendking and within which is the Castle of Ice.
East - Behind the Mountains
Beyond the eastern sea, there is a narrow coastal strip of land, a blasted and inhospitable place where degenerates live. The mountains are very close to the sea and lead up to the impassable range known as the Rendwall, said to be guarded by a tribe of giants led by an ancient Rend. Nevertheless, the land of Potamanchu was found nestling within these mountains, and silver and gold have flooded the Empire every since. Some say the Rendwall wall was breached with the discovery and invasion of Potamanchu.
South - The Thousand Cities
To the south and east, beyond Alaya, and over the Strait of ???? is the land of Saurians. Past this lies a great ocean where Rend sail cloud ships.
West - Axarte Plains
At the far western edge of the Empire, these plains are where the Vister and some barbarians reside. Beyond these lie the Plains of Fire where a Rend rules over the greatest of the Vister tribes.
