The homeland of the Humans in this setting. It is a continent fraught with religious bickering, politics, and other stuff. This is the worst summary description ever. Someone please fix it.

Political Regions of Solaris
Federated Kingdoms of Solaris
- Solus – central authority of the Federation. A land of many districts ruled by noble knights and their great King. The capital of Invicta is a monumental fortress-city built in a vast lake formed in an extinct volcano.
- Vyntril – coastal democratic state flourishing on naval trade. Looking to expand their territories in the nearby marshlands and the Human Colonies.
- Baetica – a collection of several dozen farmsteads, towns and ports under a loose pseudo-communist leadership. Happily overproduce essential goods for the rest of the Federation in exchange for exotic imports from Vyntril.
- Gorgossa – militaristic state resentful of membership in the alliance. They wish to expand their holdings in various regions but are currently restrained by their neighbouring states. On the verge of a minor war with Vyntril over ownership of several small island chains.
- Aurelia – a theocratic authoritarian aristocracy. Smallest of the ‘major’ nations holding massive political power in the Federation and abroad.
- Thrace and Achaea – contested territories. Claimed by both Vyntril and Gorgossa. Each is a loose conglomeration of scattered settlements owned by both nations as well as independent towns and villages.
Osroene
Former province of Solus. Legislated by consensus as a neutral nation representing the individual members of the Federated Kingdoms and the foreign Elvish peoples. Under constant socio-political tension.
Moesia
Fledgling nation initially founded by Vyntril traders. Later claimed by Gorgossa and then by the Silvorian Empire. Currently an independent state under contention.
Furnshakt
An uncivilised region of wilderness inhabited by bandits, raiders, primitive tribes and beasts.
