Dal'Dais - this is not a nation or capitol per se, but the floating city of wizards dedicated to the study of magic. The Council of Dal'Dais abhors the use of undead necromancy, demonology, and heresy (devil worship), but do not outlaw directly outlaw the studies of these subjects. Nonetheless, it is a negative social stigma to be associated with any of the three taboos.
Zuln - nation of evil humans. Also known as the "Bleakwuud", dark and sinister forests covers much of the area. The prevalence of evil causes the region to be slightly cooler than surrounding regions. Capitol: Zuln
The Library of Nels'Nat is a massive wizard tower where the council of Dal'Dais resides. The entire tower, except the council chamber, is open to the public and contains an unrivaled collection of books, tomes, and codices of knowledge, mundane, magical, supernatural and beyond.

Hillvale - home of the halflings, forested foothills of Den'Lunora and rocky streams. Capitol: Hillvale City
Gez'Ket - The upside-down mountain-capitol of the Gnomes. Subtropical climate, this island is known as one of the two "Feylorne Proper"
Valley Kilgorn - The badlands of the Valley Kilgorn used to be a beautiful place, but the evil Orcs, Ogres, Goblins, and other undesirables that have conglomerated in the Valley Kilgorn have despoiled the land into a rocky, brown, barren wasteland of what it used to be. Capitol: Kilgorn Cragspire
Tir'Sylvus is the tower of the Sylvan elves who dedicate themselves to the arcane arts.

The Castazan Seas
Swashbuckler King and mighty wizard Constanz Margaux VII is the undisputed ruler of the seas, based on the smuggler island-city of Margaux. The swashbuckler commences many pillaging raids from the planks of Tol'Castaza, his extravagant ocean-faring, nigh-indestructible, juggernaut ship.
