Antenor

Antenor is the largest country of the continent Tethys, located in the northwest. Antenor has no King or Queen, ruled instead by a High Council of the Dukes and Duchesses known as The Seven. All races can be found in this rather diverse country, particularly the sidhe, humans, kenaturi, halflings, and sìochäir.

Ardys

A small sìochäiran nation to the south of Antenor and north of Corsinth. It is ruled by King Sil-Gamir and Queen Luvenia. Ardys has trade agreements with Antenor and Madoré but frequently wars with Corsinth. All races can be found in Ardys, with Muirichinn Sìochäir being the majority. Giants, kulajana, demonkin, and dragonkin are generally treated poorly unless they are of a noble family or wealthy merchants. Shah-mar are hated and feared as much as the demonkin; humans are generally well liked and can be found among the nobles and distantly related to the royal family.

Corsinth

Corsinth is a small island nation in south-western Tethys, ruled by dragonkin (humans who have dragon ancestry). Ardys and Antenor are considered hostile enemies. Races found in Corsinth vary, mainly being dragonkin, human, sìochäir, fey, sidhe, kuljana, and halflings. Slavery is common in Corsinth.

Demnarclund

Demnarclund is the land of the kulajana and giants, located in the north-eastern corner of the continent of Tethys. There is no one ruler of Demnarclund, but rather clan leaders of the kulajana and giants. Demnarclund is somewhat isolated from the rest of the countries of Tethys. At this time very little is known about the country of Demnarclund.

Endymion

Endymion is a male-dominated country of three municipal-territories located to the south-east of Antenor. The municipal-territories (city-states), Leitus, Theages, and Pandaros each have five senators who monthly in Theages to discuss various concerns of the nation. All races can be found in Endymion, kentauri and humans being in the majority.

Madoré

Madoré is a medium sized country in the southern regions of Tethys. It is a matriarchal country ruled by a faileäs sìochäir Queen Astoeviel Siolindë Beliorith, who in truth, answers to the High Priestess Avidoxa Métisse of the Moon Goddess Carennovele. Faileäs sìochäir and demonkin are the most common races found here, however, other races also dwell within its borders. Those who are not faileäs sìochäir live on the surface and do much business with traders, importers, and visitors during the daylight hours. The faileäs sìochäir live underground in complex networks of caves.

Summerlands

Summerlands is a hidden land in the continent of Tethys, the origin lands of the Sidhe and the fey. It is ruled by Queen Aine and filled with many royals and nobles among the sidhe and fey. There is only one court of fey in Pangala, but there are many factions among them: Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring, Trouping, etc.

Bashir

The smallest nation on Kefira, it is a north-eastern desert country with a small population. It is mainly a nomadic tribal land, with arzshenk, shah-mar, giants, djinn, humans, and demonkin. There are no large cities, only small villages along the coastlines. There is no true ruler, but in times of crisis, Bashir tends to defer to Jiwani.

Hannon

Hannon and Jiwani are quite similar in their cultures and races. Hannon having once been a part of Jiwani, it branched off and became its own country approximately two-hundred years ago during what has become known as the Arzshenk Wars. Shah-mar, sìochäir, and fey are not generally found in Hannon, but giants, humans, kulajana, and dragonkin can be found mingling with the arzshenk of Hannon. It is a cross-cultural country, mingling Serapion, Sumati, Jiwani, and Bashir traditions and adding in their own as well. Females have nearly the same freedoms in Hannon as they do in Sumati and the land remains as neutral as possible with its neighbors.

Jiwani

The largest of the five countries, Jiwani is central and northern. It is home to demonkin, arzshenk, humans, giants, shah-mar, and djinn. Much of the northern lands are desert and hide many dangers for the unwary. Jiwani culture is rather similar to that of pre-English India. Many of gods are worshiped, polygamy is often practiced, and the ruler is untouchable and rarely seen outside the palace. Music, dance, and herbal healing are considered exceptional in Jiwani. Females have fewer rights than males, fathers acts as lords in their own homes. The shah-mar do not rule here, but they tend to be of the wealthier class and look down upon the other races.

Serapion

A small north- western country, Serapion is all desert. One large river splits the land and vanishes into Jiwani. Serapion has a Pre-Roman Egyptian feel, ruled by shah-mar lords and ladies descended from the Great Serpent. The people are warrior born and bred, warring much with Sumati, and some with Jiwani. The few humans found here are usually slaves of the ruling class. Djinn and demonkin also thrive here. The only god recognized in Serapion is the Great Serpent and Serapion is always quarreling with its neighbors as a result of small invasions to gather slaves. Serapion tends to leave Hannon well enough alone, not wishing to deal with the arzshenk.

Sumati

The second-largest country on the continent, Sumati is akin to African Nations. The humans are dark of hair, eyes, and skin, and tend to be quite tall compared to other humans. It is a country of mystery and intrigue to the rest of the known world as the people tend to be secretive. Populated mainly by nomadic tribes, there is no one ruler, but each clan is lorded over by either a chieftain or chieftainess. Females are of equal stature here, owning property and making political decisions. Faileäs sìochäir are seen at times, but not nearly as much as giants, humans, fey, and kulajana. They are often at war with Serapion who seeks slaves out of Jiwani, Sumati, and Bashir.

Qian-hua

The largest of the three countries resembles Chinese culture in the main. It is ruled by an emperor and has a large army. Races here are human and dradragonkin, the emperor being of both races. Demonkin also reside here. Demonkin are hunted and hated, as they are in most lands on Pangala. Females are very oppressed in Qian-hua, unless they are of noble blood, or in the militia. Females can be promoted as high as generals in the Qian-hua army and about 2/3 of the armies higher ranks are composed of females.

Yurik

Yurik, to the north of Qian-hua is less than half the size of its neighbor. Its lands are cold and heavily forested mountains. It has a very small population, mainly giants, dragonkin, and some fey. Few humans venture to Yurik and no one rules or claims the land save those few who dwell there. Clans in Yurik tend to trade with Qian-hua, offering quite superior wood, furniture, animal skins, and ice. Demonkin tend to find refuge in Yurik due to its isolated nature.

Zeshin

A chain of islands off the south-west coast of Qian-hua, it is reminiscent of feudal Japan and the Polynesian islands combined. Like Qian-hua, it is a male-dominated society. Humans, dragonkin, fey, and demonkin can be found in abundance here.

Auriol

Auriol is the fabled homeland of the Sìochäir, having drifted to the southern pole of Pangala and frozen over to become an ice cap. It is home to none but a few animals and supports no plant life. The Sidhe and the Sìochäir are the only beings who still recall the land of Auriol.

Khamagor

Mythical land of the Dragons, this small continent lies on the other side of the world. Only Dragons and a select few of their choosing know about the dragon homelands. Most people have never heard of Khamagor, and a majority who have believe it to be a tale rather than reality.

Pirate Isles

A scattering of islands in "No Man's Land", centered between the edges of the three known continents of Tethys, Kefira, and Sirikit. With the dangers of the seas, only the pirates dare much sailing and have set up operations in these islands. The islands, as well as the pirates (known as Salt Wolves), are ruled over by the mysterious Pirate Lords. None dare to oppose them, lest they become inflicted with the dreaded Mark. All races can be found roaming the Pirate Isles and the seas between.
