Between the
Sea of Baal and the
Boiling Sea lies the cities, kingdoms, and empires of eastern Libynos. Along the northern coast of the
Sea of Baal lies the
Antioch City-States, former subjects of the Hyperborean Empire, after the fall of the empire they were quickly conquered by the
Ammuyad Caliphate yet threw off that yoke after a century and a half. Now independent, these city-states still show signs of the influence of their two conquerors in art, culture, religion, and politics. The central coast of the
Sea of Baal is home to the decadent and corrupt Free Cities of
Baalthaaz. The famed
Crusader Coast cities, built during the Great Crusade led by the
Foerdewaith against the
Huun Imperium now lie largely deserted and in ruins save for the island of
Cyproean. The
Huun Imperium, having not lost yet not won the wars for the
Sacred Table plateau, is content to remain within its ancestral homeland of the
Desert of Oreb. The balance of the region is dominated by the
Kingdom of Numeda, greatest of
The Desert Kingdoms of the Greater Maighib.
