Darisia

Darisia is the land of variety and choice. I've travelled outside of Darisia, in the empires of the east, and in the great open to the south, and even ventured to the northern icy wastes, but nowhere will you find the variability of Darisia amongst the people, the politics, and the land itself

There are many nations in Darisia. In the southwest Shurrah hugs the Trackless Sea. This large and wealthy nation sometimes stifles in its own beauracracy, resting on the fact that it predated any of the other nations on the continent. Shurrah would certainly be losing territory to younger more vigorous nations, were there any in close proximity.

Adjacent to Shurrah is the land of Pelosia. Pelosia is a feudal nation whos king holds little if any true sovereignty. The many lords and knights of this nation are constantly battling to defend and enlarge their fiefs, though most of the time they respect the merchant traffic along the High Road that brings their nation even the small glimmer of wealth that it has.

At the farmost eastern end of the High Road lies Elloria, a theocracy and another merchant land that does much trade with Shurrah. Ruled over by a priesthood of mages and druids and there High Potentate, Elloria is very liberal culturally, though its innermost secrets remain hidden to most foreigners.

South of Elloria, across the Encroaching Desert, lies the isolated nation of Estovia. Ruled over by a king, who presides over a knighthood that holds loyalty, action, and wisdom as its three ideals, this land bears the support of its people and would be expanding, were it not constantly embroiled in problems along the Dread Moor, and dangerous skirmishes with the massive Empire of Thule further east.

Far to the north of the rest of the nations of Darisia lie the lands of theVaelsh and Riamahn. These lands know something the rest of Darisia rarely does, deep winters. It is only a weeks journey north of these lands till one comes to the Northern Ice Wastes, both at sea and on land.

Vaelsh does serious trade in lumber, and its hearty sailors are famous for making longships of huge logs to sail down the coast and then selling them, then trecking the long haul overland back to their home.

Just across the Bight of Niedi from Vaelsh lies the island nation of Riamahn. Rie-men are reclusive, but stalwart and honest. They are also reclusive and laconic, and so little is known about their small land.
