Valentica

Perhaps the greatest of all the Successor Kingdoms is Valentica, which occupies the entirety of the lands bearing the same name. The city of Valentica itself sits on the edge of Lake Harrowmere at the source of the mighty River Valen which meanders its way south to empty into the Endless Sea at the great estuary of Amphotia.
Great docks line the water’s edge, with piers and jetties thrusting out welcoming arms for traders to load and unload their exotic wares. The city is sprawling and cosmopolitan, with several quarters including elven, salamander, and even, in the insalubrious shadow of the southern city walls, goblins.
The people here are great traders, keen-eyed sailors with a thirst for adventure, and hold close ties with the Sea Elves. Relations between Valentica and Basilea vary from the strained to the cordial, as Basilea periodically restates its ancient vow and duty to bring all men under the rule of a new Republic of Primovantor.  
In recent times, the rapid rise of Lord Darvled to power has coincided with much more aggressive and human-centric policies and bias. The number of criminal convictions, property confiscations, and failed business deals involving other species has risen dramatically and many are feeling increasingly unwelcome and ostracised. Across the counties that surround the great city, special constables now enforce the law and are taking heavier taxes, especially from the “alien” races that live there.
Perhaps even more disturbing is Darvled’s “master plan”—the wall being built to the west of the Dragon’s Teeth Mountains far to the north. Ostensibly a barrier to keep out invaders such as marauding orcs or goblins, many whisper that perhaps Darvled is trying to build himself a far-reaching empire and keep his subjects contained. That he feels safe enough to stretch his arm so far, for the wall is theoretically well beyond the northern limits of his realm, is noteworthy. 
A decade of building has resulted in an incomplete hotchpotch of a defensive line, however. Elegant and imposing in places and barely a line of sharpened wooden stakes in others, Darvled nonetheless insists on the project continuing and Valentica’s military size and aggression toward its smaller neighbours is becoming a serious concern.
