Cardidium
Structure
The kingdoms prior to Cardidium are now baronies under control of the monarchy. Each is ruled by a Baron/Baroness or Duke/Duchess as their governer. Each state has cities with their own charters either controlled by elected mayors or Lords/Ladies.
Culture
Each state has its own culturers and histories but all of them are rooted in the Scarlett Imperium. The strangest of these cultures are the river lizardfolk that live on barges on the Midris River.
While plenty of the states are diverse the lizardfolk, outside the river folk, tend to stay south where the climate is warmer more of the year.

History
A few centeries ago this area was a bunch of city states and smaller countries split appart from the old Scarlett Imperium after it collapsed. It is now a united country littered with ruins of both the SI and the even older Melam empire which held the same capital. It wasn't until the war of red, a bid to unite many of the old lands north of the Argantha mountains and east of the Findback mountains under one banner. The first king granted lands and titles to those who swore fielty to him, making some former monarchs into Dukes/Duchesses, Barons/Baronesses to rule the new states under his leadership.
