Caos

A true monarchistic continent, Caos is split into numerous kingdoms that oversee their own settlements. The larger kingdoms of Caos are constantly warring with each other for control over valuable land and resources. In addition to vast deserts and dangerous mountains, Caos is also home to the mysterious, impenetrable Hisp Forest.

Breim
One of the most powerful kingdoms in all of Caos, the massive, dynastic nation of Breim rules with a firm fist. Its royal coffers are deep and intriguing, and the nobles throw some of the most legendary parties that entice visitors from around Salara.

Corstaines
Although the nation of Corstaines is one of the smaller kingdoms of Breim, it is one of the sole factors keeping Mosan from advancing further west into Caos; thus, the other kingdoms of Caos, especially Breim, often offer support to Corstaines to keep Mosan at bay. The shrewd rulers of Corstaines have used this leverage to arrange peace treaties between Corstaines and many of the other nations of Caos.

Doriath
Doriath controls the only accessible estuary from Caos into the Jade Sea, which makes it one of the richest kingdoms in terms of resources and trade power. Its lands are almost all fertile, a rarity in Caos. The harsh deserts on it's western edges are one of the only things that keep Doriath and Lerwick from constantly advancing on each other.

Haauseth
Although not as significant at Corstaines, Haauseth's position on Loch Cormeda helps keep Mosan at bay. Haauseth's settlements are primarily populated by the strong and wise Loxodons. The entire nation has strong religious convictions, and settlements are established primarily around temples and other places of worship and meditation.

Lerwick
Lerwick is a lively kingdom built directly on the banks of the Jade Sea, with high walls to protect it from imposing sea waters. Lerwick has been ruled by the Glorfindel family for many generations, who value law and order and maintain high expectations for everyone around them.

Mosan
The nation of Mosan is large and aggressive in its expansion; however, once it acquires land, the ruling kingdom of Darham mostly leaves those cities alone aside from taxation. Mosan is intent on expanding its territory past the Loch Cormeda, but has been held back by the nations of Corstaines and Haauseth.

Mosan is also responsible for the construction of the Porthcraul Pass through the Fiyeri Mountains, opening trade routes up to Gatia and Etrun without having to risk the dangers of the mountains.
