The states of Initia

Clangendum-A land of rolling hills, green fields and castles upon castles, Clangendum bare the scars of being both the centre of the main lands and being rich in iron ores. Many fights occurred over the land to own it. Since iron is always in demand, Clagendum is the richest of the states and holds the largest army of knights and horsemen. The state is ruled by king Peter Grimm.

Superessendam-The snowy mountains lands, Superessendam is the smallest of the states and was the most solid of the states during the endless war, it's boarders rarely changing. It was from this place that the idea to create a united country took root from. They are lead by the ageless avatar of  the Wanderer or so it is said. Some think is merely a series of similar looking girls. Since the mountains are hard to travel and herds of pegasi and wyverns are common, Superessendam hold the strongest air-force of Initia.

Adstrum-A harsh land of shifting sands and thus the people of this state move as well. Grand cities of tents wander this land ruled by the leader Darren Anima and his nomad army and is known for his ruthlessness.

Lignum-A forested land of barbarians and bandits ruled over by a king who is normally the one who slain the last king. It not known who the current king. Due to the lawlessness of the land, it is easy for a questionable group to hire a sizeable group of bandits for small tasks.

Tenebra-A wasteland of monsters and ghosts. Ruins dot the landscape showing a past civilisation, but no one sure of when or how the land became as it is. Attempts to map the land are basic since the longer you stay, the more likely the monsters will find you and your tasty flesh. There are tales that treasures beyond your wildest dreams are somewhere in the dark lands, but rumours of this nature are common near anywhere dangerous and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Religions of Initia

The Watcher-A divine being that judges who is good or evil. It(for no gender is favoured by it when judging.) is often shown as a silver golem that is double the height of a normal man. The Watcher's symbol is a white cross, display on one's back to show the weight of one's deeds. Knights tend to be  worshippers of the Watcher and thus the religion is common in Clangendum.

The Leviathan-The ruler of the sea, this god is said to be as fickle as the sea. He shows up as a mighty sea snake, usually blue or grey, and said to be a mile long. His symbol is two snakes entwined around a pole, which is suppose to be a mast, but the sails are hard to work in and that little detail has been forgotten over the years. The Leviathan is unsurprisingly common among pirates and oddly popular among mages.

The Lady-You all know this one. The goddess of luck, the tricky dame, Critzalcoatl. She depicted as a high-class lady in red in most places or as a brown feathered snake on battlefields. Her symbol is a single gold coin, head side up. The female face on the symbol is assumed to be the lady, but some evidence points to the first high-priestess of the lady. The lady is commonly worshiped among thieves, myrmidons and bandits.

The Wanderer-A goddess of freedom and air, this being is said to appear as a simple traveller. It is claimed that her avatar rules over Superessendam thus a travelling red headed pegasus rider is the most common form of her. Worship is common among pegasus riders, dancers and thieves.

Zack-Years before the endless war, there was said to be a mighty civilisation that covered the world, but a dark being appeared. Around him, those that died rose once more as his soldiers, all but one. A human known only as Zack carried on fighting the dark being. Every time he was killed, the dark magics of the being forced him to his feet and went back to trying to kill the dark being. Eventually, Zack told the last of humans to banish the being and him while he held him still. While just a oral story told over campfires, some people believe that Zack became a god when banished outside of reality, with the dark being becoming the devil counterpart to him. Some even think that Tenebra was the site of the battle. Zack has no symbol, but holding one's right fist skyward clenched is considered to be close to one. Worshippers of more common among non-magic users, but no other trends are noted due to the small pool of worshippers.
