+==== Albion **Non-Playable** ====
+{{  ::Camelot.png?300px}}
+Once a great, wide realm, now a single city shrouded in mystery. Camelot is still known as the home of the once King Arthur, Guinevere and their Knights. For many, it is also a holy place - the final connection of The God of Albion. It is assumed that the Knights still practice this old religion.

+{{  ::algaroth.png?300}}
+Once known far and wide as the Kingdom of Fairwynn, a Realm of peace and prosperity, The Archane Kingdom of Algaroth is a relatively new Realm, born five years ago through bloody revolution. Now ruled over by the Grand Warlock Skarn who appeared as out of nowhere. The Algarothi reject the God of Albion and follow instead 'The Dread Axioms' which they proclaim will lead them to Supremacy.

+{{  ::Arkenholm.jpg?300}}
+Arkenholm was formerly a prosperous land, shimmering with the precious stones of its deep quarries - but in recent generations, with the shining mountain of Maenwen hollowed out to a shell, the whole realm has decayed. Even the lustre of Eternal Birkendene Forest seems to have faded, with rumours of bandits abounding.
+A popular yearning to reclaim past glories has seen Queen Ceindeg the Bright swept into power, overthrowing the ‘corrupt’ and ‘ineffectual’ Lloyd the Dull. A year on, Caerarian's palace of shining spires gleams once more, as Arkenholm takes its first steps towards a new golden era.

+{{  ::Auralia.png?300}}
+Auralia is a difficult land to survive in; friends and enemies may often be one and the same. The upper class stay in power through a combination of political alliances, powerful magic, and brutal assassinations of those who pose a risk; whether perceived or actual. The only time there is unquestioning loyalty from any of the citizens is when put at risk from other borders. The people of Auralia will fight for their Queen at any given opportunity, apparently through a fierce desire to gain her favour, but who knows the true motives of any Socialite.

+{{  ::Cedunon.png?300}}
+A thick forest surrounds the entire Realm, intermittently opening up within to reveal large glades that play home to the towns and cities of Cedunon. These glades remain isolated from the world outside but not from the monsters that lurk within the depths of the woods.
+The stoic green knights patrol the forests, forcing their way through the undergrowth to maintain safe routes between glades.

Divinity” can be heard echoing throughout Cedunon's great forest.

The Shining City became a beacon for heroes and adventurers and all of the tradecrafts that support them. Halrgardians are welcoming and generous people, but dangerous if crossed.

+{{  ::Legion.png?300}}
+An idyllic realm with peaceful forests sprawling at the base of fertile mountain valleys. Legion has had a history of fielding huge armies in aid of the realm’s interests but this has died down in recent years. Majestic walled settlements are commonplace due to this martial history. Wide roads allow easy travel through these immaculately clean and tidy cities. The common populace are incredibly busy and don’t have time to meet with travelers very often. In fact wanderers usually do business amongst themselves in front of the plethora of “out for lunch - back in 10 minutes” signs.

+==== Nelaria ====
+{{  ::Nelaria.png?300}}
+The Realm of Nelaria was thick with forest.  Great oak trees stood taller than anything in the realm, except the peaks of the towers of the castle.  The people were accustomed to living in and amongst the trees, and it was generally considered easier to traverse their branches than to walk on the ground.  “Groundwalker” was an insult, used to describe those who lack the finesse to leap from branch to branch, as well as the criminals who prefer to use the darkness from the tree-cover to conduct illicit affairs.
+Nelaria was conquered completely by Svobodaskein and Melltith in the first year after Camelot's reopening.

Penmortid is the home of the Glorious Damned (or Fortune's Fucked, as they sometimes refer to themselves), a horde of pirates with a devil-may-care attitude and a love of poetry and adventure. The Glorious Damned take pride in their reputation for being cursed with bad luck - as far as they’re concerned, luck is for those who can’t get by on skill alone. Ancestor worship is ubiquitous throughout Lysmalan and Antewyn, and each pirate's surname alludes to a famous ancestor.

+{{  ::The_ridings.png?300}}
+A very small realm, the only town of any note is Hamptonborough in the Middle Riding. Populated by simple farmers and craftspeople, they tend to keep themselves to themselves.

The bandit hills to the north (once known as the North Riding) are a dangerous place to be.

+{{  ::Rhyfel.png?300}}
+Rhyfel is an old land, with an ancient legacy. It is known for being steeped in magic, for its obsession with stories, its reverence of the God of Albion, and for its outspoken support for Arthur and all others who stand against evil. The Glimmering Vale is a place full of light and rich bounties, the Whispering Mountain echoes with tales of heroes past, and the Fields of Strife bear memories of too many historic battles. It is neither a populous nor a wealthy land, but one of expansive beauty, deep wisdom, and generally safe harbour.

+The forest thins out and a huge, dark fortress emerges.  Skulls often adorn walls, which are labelled with huge signs written in blood, with anti-Arthurian messages such as "King No More" and "CAMELOT FALLS".  Saxons are brutish, ill-mannered, and warlike.  They still revel in their victory over Camelot, and are rumoured to have designs to make the rest of the Hundred Realms kneel before them.

+{{  ::Sera.png?300}}
+Sera is renowned for the wealth that comes from its mines of ores and precious gems. Trading of both raw materials and finished products such as weapons and jewellery make for the bulk of the realm's income and Serians pride themselves in their craftsmanship, the beauty of their land and the devotion to their Gods.  The Glamorgans have been Sera's royalty since the birth of the realm, and Queen Niniveh is the first to take the throne as Monarch and High Priestess to the Gods. Serians are fervent worshippers of the Grey Shroud, Bringer of Death, and the Silver Well, Giver of Life, possibly the same being with different aspects, possibly siblings or something else. No one is certain, but it is best to keep them on side either way and present tribute when appropriate.  Once a year secretive offerings are also made by those of the royal line, to ensure the realm's wealth, to the Nightbeast, a creature or ancient God who is said to dwell in the depths of the mines.  The national colours are: black, silver, brown and red.

+==== The Spires ====
+{{  ::The_Spires.png?300}}
+The Spires is a realm named for its churches, each erected in praise to the Most Perfect Aspirant, a God of Power and Perfection. The Church teaches that the Aspirant is the spirit of perfection, and that those who die find themselves close to the Aspirant upon death; the more the deceased excelled in life, the closer they reside to the most perfect being.
+In general, the Aspirants consider self-improvement a moral necessity above all others. Their farmers must be the very best farmers, their warriors must train to never fall. To insinuate that someone could not improve, or is already perfect, would deny an Aspirant the chance to become closer to their deity.
+Rumours persist that the Aspirants make use of strange servitors for work which their people will not, citing that work outside of ones field of aspiration is not holy, and insisting that performing those necessary tasks by any means is therefor acceptable.

+==== Svobodaskein ====
+{{  ::Svobodaskein.png?300}}
+A wet, misbegotten land of eery marshes and unending mudlands, Svobodaskein has been without formal monarchy or power structure since the collapse of Arthur’s rule. In its place, a tenuous alliance of village elders and local barons seek advice from a mysterious authority dwelling deep within the marshes of Thousand Drownings.
