The Seven Sisters

The Seven Sisters are seven kingdoms in eastern Ashar. The seven are the Spice Kingdom, the Ivory Kingdom, the Cinnabar Kingdom, the Ebony Kingdom, the Amber Kingdom, the Saffron Kingdom, and the Ghost Kingdom. The kingdoms each have their own cultures, but they have a shared history and cultural similarities.
Of the seven, the Ebony Kingdom and Amber Kingdom have already been colonized by Olhaine, and the Ivory Kingdom is in the process of being colonized by Olhaine. The Spice Kingdom is independent, but the Empire of Caldea exerts significant influence over it, and over time it has transitioned towards being more of a puppet state. The Cinnabar Kingdom, Saffron Kingdom, and Ghost Kingdom are all independent. The Saffron Kingdom is open to trade towards foreign empires, whereas the Cinnabar Kingdom is fiercely isolationist, and the Ghost Kingdom is aggressive towards outsides.
The Ghost Kingdom, which is a civilization of shamanic raiders, is traditionally an enemy of the other kingdoms, earning it the moniker "the Lost Sister".
