The Seven Kingdoms

The territories designated as the Seven Kingdoms represent a loosely organized confederation of seven separate city-states, each ruled by its own king. Established during the New Age by the descendants of various peoples displaced by the Great Disaster, the Seven Kingdoms share a common government, known as the Council of Kings.

The Member Nations

The seven member nations of this unique confederation are:

1. Cymril
2. Durne
3. Sindar
4. Astar
5. Taz
6. Vardune
7. Kasmir

Governance: The Council of Kings

The Seven Kingdoms’ Council of Kings meets once a month at the Royal Palace in Cymril.

• Decision Making: A majority vote decides all issues.
• Impasse: A four-to-three decision is known as an “impasse.” In this case, there is no official ruling, and each kingdom is free to establish its own laws until the following Council. [^1]

Defense and Security

The Seven Kingdoms are considered among the safest places on the continent due to their coordinated defense:

• Northern and Eastern Borderlands: Patrolled by bands of Thralls mounted on rugged Mangonel Lizards.
• Western and Southern Borders: Guarded by contingents of Blue Aeriad in river barge-forts, armed with crescent knives and dart throwers.

[^1]: This system often leads to confusion, as laws, tariffs, and prices may change abruptly between council meetings.
