=Arctic Empire=
----
The Arctic Empire is is the most powerful empire in Pyrrhia. Ruled by Empress Halcyon of the IceWings, its territory encompasses the Ice Queendom, Kingdom of the Sea, the Southern Tundra, Great Frigid, and the Wingtip Colonies (Highwind, Fulmar Peak, and North Glade).
Ice Queendom
Taking up much of the territory on Pyrrhia's northernmost peninsula, the Ice Queendom is home to the IceWing tribe. It is ruled by Queen North of the IceWings, the niece of Empress Halcyon, and stands at the head of the Arctic Empire. North's rule is heavily influenced by Halcyon, who resides in the Ice Palace, and Ice Queendom Army soldiers are placed as guards all over the Arctic Empire.
The Ice Queendom's arctic climate makes it undesirable land for any other tribe, and the Great Ice Cliff along its southern border makes it near impossible for any tribe to invade. Few non-IceWings live within the Ice Queendom's borders, the exception being prisoners of war-turned-servants who serve wealthy and important nobles and generals.
Kingdom of the Sea
Stretching from the edge of the Great Tail Peninsula and encompassing the Bay of a Thousand Scales is the Kingdom of the Sea, home to the SeaWing tribe. It is ruled by King Bluefin and Queen Baiji of the SeaWings, but the running of the kingdom is strictly overseen by IceWing soldiers. Governor Orca is the IceWing noble in charge of the SeaWing kingdom, and has the authority to influence or make the king and queen's decisions, though the SeaWing monarchs are always the ones to speak them to their citizens. 
Many SeaWing prisoners were taken when the Arctic Empire conquered the Kingdom of the Sea, and these are forced to serve high-ranking IceWings stationed around the empire, including in the SeaWing kingdom itself. Others are drafted into the Arctic Empire's army, and yet others are sent to the mountains to mine ore, or the west coast to gather pearls and mine salt and other underwater minerals.
Southern Tundra
The Southern Tundra is the expanse of territory beyond the Ice Queendom's Great Ice Cliff, stretching up to the desert's northern edge. It is largely unsettled by dragons, though IceWing guards are stationed along its borders to defend it from possible invaders. It is primarily used as a training ground for soldiers, and there are small settlements along the coast where poorer IceWings and SeaWings alike fish or mine salt and titanium for the empire to make a living.
North Glade
The first and largest of the Wingtip Colonies, North Glade is an IceWing colony along Pyrrhia's northern coast, at the edge of Sky Queendom territory. It is governed by Governor Martimus, an IceWing noble, and inhabited mostly by IceWings and their SeaWing and SkyWing servants, the latter having been captured when the colony was created. Most of North Glade's residents mine ore in the mountains or diamonds and other precious gems in North Wing River, which flows from the mountains in North Glade down to the heart of SkyWing territory. The ore and stones are then sold to the Ice Queendom, whose metalworkers and jewelers make them into weapons, tools, and jewelry, generating wealth and profit for the heads of the Arctic Empire.
North Glade holds a crucial position at the source of the North Wing River, which supplies water to the Sky Queendom's main palace and several of its important cities with the river's many offshoots. North Glade IceWings have constructed a dam at the edge of their territory, blocking the river. This has forced SkyWings to go thirsty and hungry as their water sources dry up and the prey around them die or flee, forcing them to turn to other, smaller water sources around the queendom.
Fulmar Peak and Highwind
Fulmar Peak and Highwind are two adjacent colonies at the very tip of Pyrrhia's wing peninsula and bordering the northern Sky Kingdom. Both colonies are smaller and less populated than North Glade, the IceWing citizens there mostly working as fishers and ore miners to provide for the army's food and weapons. Hundreds of soldiers are present in the colonies, training and preparing to lay siege to the nearby Sky Palace. The colonies are governed by Governors Wolf of Fulmar Peak and Argent of Highwind, both former Ice Queendom Army generals.
Great Frigid
Great Frigid or Frigid is the Arctic Empire's IceWing colony on Pantala, and largest colony overall. Located on Pantala's northern wing peninsula, Frigid's economy is largely based on rare minerals found in Pantalan mountains, such as platinum. The Arctic Empire requires that they sell these minerals directly to the Ice Queendom, where the mainland IceWings then sell to the rest of Pyrrhia for much greater profit.
Frigid's population is roughly one-half IceWing, with a fair number of free SeaWings and the rest of the population being conquered Pantalan dragons who forcibly work as servants or miners, the majority of these being LeafWings and SilkWings.
=Scorpion Empire=
----
The Scorpion Empire is the second-most powerful empire in Pyrrhia, and the physically largest empire in the world. Ruled by Empress Mamba of the SandWings, its territories include the Queendom of Sand, Jadeland, and the Desert Nova Colony.
Queendom of Sand
The Queendom of Sand takes up the large desert territory on Southwest Pyrrhia. It was once ruled by Queen Mamba of the SandWings, but when she became empress of the Scorpion Empire, she did not relinquish the queen's role to another heir, instead choosing to rule both at the same time. Its population is composed entirely of SandWings, and it serves as the head of the Scorpion Empire.
Jadeland
Jadeland is the stretch of land east of the desert and west of the rainforest, encompassing the southern Claws of the Clouds Mountains as well as the territory beyond Jade Mountain, enclosed by the Snaking River. Jadeland was once populated by the Kingdom of Jadeland, a small mixed-tribe kingdom for dragons who didn't belong in their own tribes or feel safe in their own queendoms. The kingdom fell apart ten years after it was founded, with the king murdered and six or seven dragons warring for the throne. The SandWings quickly conquered their territory, and Jadeland's former residents now live and work under the Scorpion Empire's rule.
Desert Nova
Desert Nova is a Scorpion Empire colony in southeast Pantala. It stretches across a vast swathe of territory, from the edge of the Hives (particularly Bloodworm Hive and Mantis Hive) to the edge of the newly named Scorpion's Tail Peninsula. Desert Nova's capital is Lake Scorpion City, a vast metropolis constructed half on Lake Scorpion's shore and half underground in its great tunnel system. Hundreds of soldiers stand guard around the perimeter of the lake, controlling the water and protecting it from enemies in the dry grasslands beyond.
There are a few smaller towns along the coast of Desert Nova, but the rest of the great peninsula remains largely uninhabited. The majority of Desert Nova's residents are SandWings, with only a few other-tribe dragons, most of whom either have origins in Jadeland or have immigrated from the Hives.
