- World Fluff:
- The Pays D'Or: The dominant power in Maisoh, the Pays D'Or is a collection of duchies, baronies, and other noble properties that is kept united by the exorbitant wealth and military power of the capital, Argenne (a city set in the exact center of the continent to symbolize D'Orsian dominance). It started as a merchant territory, but a relatively recent line of strong rulers has launched it to its position of strength. In recent years, the Pays D'Or has come to utterly dominate its enemies in war. The national color is red, religion is rather a non-issue, and it is ruled by King Pirre the Second.
- The Confederacy: Part of the Pays D'Or, this particularly self-sufficient chunk of land and territories on the northeast side of the continentis capable of running its own kingdom and indeed the lands here have very strong political ties. It is the military power of the Pays D'Or and the many benefits provided by remaining in the kingdom that keeps the Confederacy there. Religions run the gamut here, and there is no official one. The biggest city of the area is Eisenstadt, and Duchess Alexandrine the Proud is typically seen as a leader.
- Slantsy: This isolationist kingdom in the southeast has existed for time immemorial, though it's never been particularly influential. Keeping to itself and making sure that it's left alone (even if it lacks a large army to attack with), Slantsy is essentially a fortress kingdom, defenses carefully planned out to the mile over a thousand years of history. It has weathered trial after trial. The capital of Slantsy is Gratni, a walled city only twice entered by enemy armies, and never conquered. The national color is green, and the leader is Mikel Aksyonov.
- Zhengfuzhe: An empire of plains conquerors, riding in swift and terribly, Zhengfuzhe was once the dominant power of Maisoh. But over time the Pays D'Or has gained to strength to soundly beat them back from their territories, and over 50 years has turned the once great nation into a mere empty shell of its former self, clinging to the western coast. Though they've been forced to turn to peace to keep themselves alive, the drums of war beats in their veins... Their national color is blue, their capital is Jiaa, and their ruler is Wu the Ancient.
- The Aryo Islands: This chain of heavily mountainous islands has never really been of much importance. For a long time thought uninhabited, it was discovered about a century ago that there are peoples here living inside of the mountains. These peoples are NOT very unified, however, and though they have some manner of technology, they've never shown any inclination to leave the mountains. Very little is known about their rulers and capitals.
