Entarca

Origin: Second Age
Center(s): Cercarii, the Marble City
Enemies: Aderon, Forlon
Allies: The Caeriu, Aenoria, Euphrascia, Darinicus
Membership: Widespread Empire
Numbers: Hundreds of thousands

Description: Entarca is the empire that encompasses much of eastern Luscartia. Formed after years of conflicts between smaller kingdoms early on, the ruler Entarcus united all the people into one kingdom. That great kingdom was named after its champion, and after generations it became one of Earthia's greatest powers. While Entarca usually has little interest in Telan, almost all the way on the other side of the world, it was pulled into a recent conflict there when trade with both the eastern and western kingdoms was cut off. Today Entarca is fighting a naval war with both Aderon and Forlon to prevent their war from stretching to Luscartia. For this, Entarca is often looked upon as the protectors of Luscartia. Also, due to proximity and questionable recent activity, Entarca is becoming increasingly apprehensive of Valeron and Corroria.

Aderon

Origin: Third Age
Center(s): The city of Aderon
Enemies: Forlon, Entarca, Valeron, Kardaria
Allies: Zolandor, Dharonia, Frionia
Membership: Large Kingdom
Numbers: Hundreds of thousands

Description: Aderon grew from the ashes of Pompelus, at the dawn of the Third Age. Since then many factions have grown within this realm, both honorable and shady. The dark influence leads Aderon toward conquests and against Entarca, while those following an honorable path see Valeron as the enemy. In the meantime Forlon is exploiting the turmoil, and is seeking revenge for what happened to western Telan during the Second Age. Because of all this, Aderon's future is uncertain...

Forlon

Origin: Second Age
Center(s): The city of Forlon
Enemies: Aderon, Entarca, Dharonia, Frionia
Allies: Izkaldan, Valeron, Kardaria
Membership: Large Kingdom
Numbers: Hundreds of thousands

Description: Forlon was originally one of many small settlements in western Telan, though after Valeron's defeat, Forlon grew quickly from the collapse of smaller kingdoms in the region. Many of the people are bitter toward Aderon, who managed to build a thriving kingdom while the west remained in turmoil for centuries. Today Forlon is a dense, dirty, and often rainy town without laws. Gambers, scoundrels, and brigands are everywhere, trying to best each other whenever possible. However, despite the selfish nature of this place, do not underestimate Forlon's resolve when their kingdom is threatened.

Dharonia

Origin: First Age
Center(s): The Zolan Range
Enemies: Forlon, Valeron, Kardaria
Allies: Frionia, Zolandor, Aderon
Membership: Town and Scattered Villages
Numbers: Thousands

Description: Dharonia (or sometimes called New Dharonia), was the refuge of the Zal'Dharon at the end of the Kardarian War. Established deep within the Zolan Range, a vast mountain range west of Zolandor, Dharonia is almost completely isolated from the rest of the world. That's the way they like it, since they can pursue without interruption their arcane studies. While they are secluded in the mountains, the Dharon look after the people of Zolandor who don't understand the threats they face today. They may even be preparing for a confrontation with their old enemies, said to be lurking in the mountains at night...
