West Bulan
West Bulan is a kingdom ruled by the Ontensil Dukedom who conquered and reformed opposing dukedoms in its lands. The now subservient Itolan County was once a proud dukedom as well but has since become a vassal state and maintains the Western lands in the kingdom.
West Bulan is a vast kingdom, with great ambition, yet for the last nearly 300 years the kingdom has sidelined its ambitions of conquest to join with its neighboring kingdoms in the formation of The Hallish Federation to survive in what is now called The Solidarity War.
To the west lays The Grolsting Hills where monsters run awry, unchecked and wild. The only passage west through the Grolsting Hills is The Gold Road stretching all the way to the far distant city of Velvoud and maintained by the The Knights Rode who have a small, but respected place in West Bulan's society.
To the south spans the vast Avanalla Forest with its ancient and gargantuan Gold Sequoia Trees and vast network of mysterious wonders: the Great Cavas Bridges.
To the east the Browncloak Hills rise to form a natural defensive border with East Bulan until it ends and the border of the kingdoms meet. The strenuous peace is maintained, due to the The Solidarity War being a greater threat than either countries ambition.
To the north is The Shoaling Sea as well as the kingdom of Pontrish led by The Reverdine Family.

Legislative Body
The righteous duke and his counts run West Bulan and write the laws that effect major taxes and criminal activity. Through them, the will of Nythis is done, and whatever needs to be done legally to ensure that is what they proclaim to do.
Judicial Body
Predominantly, the Children of Nythis are the judicial body and also the enforcement body in West Bulan. When a law is made they will move through the land to spread the laws when necessary. Additionally, they have in part agreed to let The Knights Rode work as judges, but never enforcers. A roden of the knights rode has the right to make a ruling that only the highest ranking nobility or members of the children of nythis can refute or reject.
