Location Descriptions for Character Backgrounds

The Empire of Alvarado

The first of the two "Waring Empires" to have been founded. The Alvarado Empire has been forged in the fires of conquest for almost as long as it has existed. This empire is in a race against the Erathia Empire to conquer the known and new world. The people of Alvarado are religious and gregarious. Most of its people are natural explorers and find their way to serving in the Empire's mighty navy at some point in their lives. The Alvaradians have been at war with the Erathians for some 500 years, and there are no signs of this conflict ending soon.
The empire's lands lay to the west of the Sea of Royals.
This empire also has a shameful habit of using and seeing other demi races such as Ogres, Hobgoblins, Goblins, and Orcs as slave or mercenary labor. These races are not widely excepted in their society, but that does not mean that there are not respected, successful, free Demi-humans in the lands of the empire. (This empire is one of the two empires that use slaves)

The empire is dominated by humans and ruled over by King Juan Diego Silva Alvarado.

The Empire of Erathia

The second of the two "Waring Empires." Like their rival, the Empire of Erathia has been forged in the fires of conquest and war. The people of this empire are natural-born builders and marksmen and pride themselves on some of the largest and most fortified citadels & keeps in the world. The Erathians also have a parliament where the common people elect representatives who help codify laws on behalf of the people. The Erathians have been at war with the Alvaradians for some 500 years, and there are no signs of this stopping soon.


Like the Alvaradias, this empire also has a shameful habit of using and seeing other demi races such as Ogres, Hobgoblins, Goblins, and Orcs as slave or mercenary labor. These races are not widely excepted in their society, but that does not mean that there are not respected, successful, free Demi-humans in the lands of the empire. (This one of the two empires that use slaves)

The empire is dominated by humans and ruled over by King Roland Erathia II

The Namir Sultanate

The Namir Sultanate may be a smaller power. Still, it commands respect due to its military might and geographic location, as it used to be the primary gateway to the east for both the Alvaradians and Erathians for centuries. The people of Namir are semi-nomadic travelers and commonly work as traders between the east and west. It is not uncommon for the Namirians to know 4 or even 5 languages.

The deserts of Namir have made its people hearty and resistant to heat and harsh winds. The Sultanate lies to the far south and is bordered by the lands of the Haathee Kingdom to the east, who they are currently in conflict with, and the Sea of Royals to its West.

All races and people are welcome in the Sultanate, but they do not always allow other religions. The Namir people warship Be-sa, the god of Knowledge, life, and protection. They see all other gods as profits or demi-gods, but Be-sa is the only one true god.
The Sultanate is ruled over by Sultan Miraz Zahir ud-Din Muhammad "Babur".

RajaRaja Of Haatheee

The RajaRaja of Haathee is a minor power on the world stage, but they are no pushover. Even as a minor kingdom, it bosts a people more diverse than anywhere else. People of all races, creeds, and backgrounds are welcome in the lands of the Haathee. The RajaRaja finds itself butting heads with its neighbor to the west, the Namir Sultanate. Small border skirmishes have started to break out between the two nations as they vie for control over the lands' resources.

The People of the Haathee live in the deep jungles of the southern continent, using them as projection from invaders.
The RajaRaja despises those who would enslave others and has no love for the "Waring Empires"
The RajaRaja of Haathee is ruled over by Raja Ashoka Haathee.

The Empire of Hinotori

The Empire of Hinotori is an isolated power. Preferring to stay out of other Empire's affairs. The Empire title is a little misleading as the Empire is made of two kingdoms that have only been recently merged into one. The Hinotori Kingdom and The Kame Kingdom. A civil war has raged on in this empire for some 300 years. Tyrants and kings have tried to end the fighting, but none were successful until about 20 years ago. Now the Empire is at peace, albeit a strenuous one.

The years of fighting have made its people resilient and resourceful. The lands of the Hinotori lay to the east and are boarded by the Haathee to its west and the new world to its east.
The Empire is not fond of foreigners and traders within its borders, but they do have two ports where trade is allowed to commence with the outside world.

The Hinotori Empire is ruled over by Emperor Hinotori.

The Free Islands

The Islands of Green and Plenty or more commonly known as "The Free islands" are a grouping of island chains in the middle of the waters between the New World and the Waring Empires.

No one Empire or Kingdom claims the islands or their waters as territory, which has made them a haven for pirates and free traders for years.

There are three Free Ports, each ruled over by one of the three pirate lords who are the law in these waters.
The pirate lords are Pirate Lord Hylda Royal, leader of the Royal Pirates, Pirate Lord McGlathwind, leader of the Fire Brand Pirates, and Pirate Lord Black, leader of the Pirates of the "Black."

Each lord has a fleet of ships and thousands of sailors at their command.

There are very few rules in or around the Islands of Green and Plenty, the most important is that these islands and their Free Ports will always stay free come hell or high water.

The Lands of the Nors

The lands of the Nors are harsh and cold almost all year round. These lands can be found far to the north. Which makes those who live here extremely hearty and strong. The peoples of these lands have made a lasting pact and formed a sort of confederation. There is not one leader but three.

These rulers are called "The Three", The Council of Three, or The Three Kings.

They are King Erkson Staghelm, leader of the race of man and demi-man, King Altec Nemesh Chieftain to all Dragonborn in the north or elsewhere, and King of the Dwarven Clans Maric Runeclaw.

These three rulers command the most loyal military and people the world knows. The lands are harsh, and its people must work together to survive the long winters or worse.

The Lands of the Nors is the only place one will find more Dwarves and Dragonborn than humans in the world. As this is the ancestral homeland to the Dwarves and Dragons.
