+{{  ::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 ====
+{{  ::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 ====
+{{  ::Auralia.png?300}}

+The stoic green knights patrol the forests, forcing their way through the undergrowth to maintain safe routes between glades.

+{{  ::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.
+After the Queen took the throne and the title of High Priestess, a dream came to her.  She saw how the Saxon Lands were devoid of true purpose, saw the people crying out for direction, for a firm, magnanimous monarch who would lead them. She woke up filled with purpose and declared it a dream, a vision, sent by the Gods of Sera, demanding their Realm spread their worship and their influence over those lands.  And so the Queen sent both priests of the faith and warriors to escort convoys of food and other useful resources to the villages on the border of the Saxon Lands, then they made their way further into those lands, spreading their beliefs and annexing territory, as well as quelling any attempt to fight their advance, until they had enough support within the land to officialise the take over.

+==== 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.
+Svobodans are fiercely independent and individualistic. They reject all claims to hereditary power, and despise the vanity of titles and other such trappings of unearned authority. Lacking a formal military, willing freefolk band together as equals to repel invaders.

+{{  ::Thorns.png?300}}
+The Court of Thorns is a cruel and unforgiving place where spite drives all action.  Insult is easily given and never forgotten, with the favours of the upper echelons constantly shifting on a whim.  Formerly a House from within [[#Auralia]], the draconically sponsored House of Thorns was discontent with how they were being treated in comparison to the House of Blossoms -- whom they despised -- and having been given insult by Arkenholm, Sera, and Penmortid they incited rebellion in the land of Mayga to wage war against their enemies.

+==== Saxon Lands (Now Sera) ====
+{{  ::Saxon_Lands.png?300}}
+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.
