Welcome to the United Realms

The world surrounding the Badlands is a diverse region consisting of seven city-states, each with its own distinct ruler and character. These city-states are known for their unique qualities and governance, yet they have recently been experiencing political turmoil and disagreements.

King's Court: This city-state, ruled by King Matrick Skulldrummer, is now under a new ruler who aspires to unite the surrounding regions under the banner of the Commonwealth. King's Court is often seen as a center of power and authority, and its influence over the other city-states is increasing.

Tameria: Ruled by the wise Mayor Clay Cooper, Tameria is known for its emphasis on community and cooperation. However, recent political turmoil has strained relationships with its neighbors.

The Northern Pass: Governed by the stern Warden Golden Gabe Thornheart, this city-state is strategically located at a key passage through the mountains. The Warden's primary focus has always been on maintaining security and controlling the trade routes, but recent disagreements have disrupted this stability.

Crossroads: Chancellor Harry Dresden leads Crossroads, a city at the heart of trade and cultural exchange. Known for its diversity, Crossroads has historically been a hub for diplomacy and negotiations among the city-states, but increasing tensions have made this role more challenging.

Demon Reach: Ruled by Warden Ganelon, Demon Reach is a city of mystery and magic. Its connection to arcane forces has made it both respected and feared by its neighbors. However, the recent turmoil has forced the city to focus on internal matters.

River Run: Alvin Foxtail, a skilled diplomat, governs River Run, a city built along the banks of a powerful river. River Run's economic strength and trade ties have often acted as a stabilizing force in the region, but the recent disputes have strained these relationships.

Plow Coast: Under the leadership of the enigmatic mage Duke Arcandius Moog, the city-state of Plow Coast is a place of magical experimentation and innovation. However, the political upheavals have shifted the Duke's focus away from his magical pursuits.

With the ascension of King Matrick Skulldrummer and his ambitions to unite the city-states under the United Realms' banner, the region's political landscape is changing rapidly. While some welcome this unity as a means of stability and strength, others fear the loss of their city-state's autonomy and identity. The success of this endeavor will depend on the delicate balance between cooperation and preserving each city-state's unique character.
