Lorenis

Lōrenis, officially known as the Kingdom of Lōrenis, is one of three Kingdoms within the Empire of Ischanor. It borders the Grand Duchy of Vedanica to the west, Osriguard and Celras to the east, Tsiladen and the Imperial Crownlands to the south and finally, Bachengart which is located in middle of Lōrenis and is a former member of the Kingom. Lōrenis is one of the largest realms by land-mass, if not the largest in Ischanor. The capital is located in the city of Lōrenin. 
== Realms ==
The Kingdom of Lōrenis is split into 4 different realms. The Archduchy of Beloslavia, the Duchy of Selroa, the Duchy of Cìrion and the Lōrenis Crownlands. Each of these realms (apart from the Crownlands) is enjoying a very large autonomy, which makes each of them unique. Each realm has a different local government system, culture, language and even faith. 
=== Lōrenis Crownlands ===
Lōrenis Crownlands as an administrative entity are relatively new. As per the Queen's adminstrative reforms, the Crownlands are now headed and governed in the Queen's name by an appointed Viceroy - a position that is currently held by Xavija of Tharx. Furthermore, the Crownlands is governed by the Crownlands Council which consists of all landed nobles of the Crownlands. The Crownlands have many interesting settlements, such as Lōrenin, Lisvin, Lisguard, Bjørnsguard, Szusarn and the Temple of Tharx.
==== Lōrenin ====
Lōrenin is the de jure capital of Lōrenis and the capital of the Crownlands. It used to be the largest city and the capital of the Empire of Ischanor, but the city has declined since the "Tossing of Toss".
==== Temple of Tharx ====
The Temple of Tharx is a place of devotion to the Ischanic trickster god Ruhric and is a temple-complex located in the city of Lōrenin. It is famously inhabited by the Kobolds of Tharx.
==== Lisvin ====
After the scourge of Lorenin, many of its occupants fled east seeking refuge under the surface. Deep within the caverns of The Lorenis Crownslands lies the hidden criminal city of Lisvin. A clustered crime-ridden underground city. The sun never shines here. Laws are enforced by powerful gangs and businessmen alike. This busy metropolis hides many secrets within it's winding alleyways. The people are ... unfriendly to say the least.Magical shrooms are used as hallucinogens, secretly piped from the kobold temple to control the masses, ensuring the ever expanding city, stays underground. The "mayor" gave the people loose rules that act more of a guideline, the line is crossed when you cross him. If there was a city at the bottom of the barrel of Ischanor, Lisvin would probably be below that barrel....
==== Szusarn ====
Well within the clustered hills of Meatslate Hills lays a bizarre dense grove of giant trees, unnatural for the region they harbor. Within and under the grove lays the town of Szusarn, an underground network of tunnels and damp caves that are the home to the Srisianoons, giant lithoids with customs far more strange than anything seen in abexilas. Szusarn contains many horrors of the imagination whether it the many flesh geodes that collect the dead and old to grow new life, the underground jungles that home various deadly species unfit for any other ecosystem, or the deep down meat caverns that give the region's name. Szusarn is a home to more sentinent life than the lithoidic Srisianoons with intelligent plant and flesh geode born life, produced by their own geodes of plant and flesh variety. The town is governed by crowd chosen lords and religious priests for the Comet God, a being that is the embodiment of nature and its creed with a society that is rather egalitarian with vibrant political factions.
==== Maridon ====
Maridon is a town located in the northern parts of Ischanor, in the state of Lorenis. The town holds its natural look of spruce and stone, while still blending in some materials from other regions of the world. The main god in the city is Xoraios, who is the god of moon and waters, and Maridon holds the only church dedicated to him. Before Maridon was established, the place was a dense forest with only a staircase that led down to the Maridonian Catacombs. The area was open and the settlers, who were banished from lands in the north after atempting to rebell, decided this was their call and made camp. The camp, slowely turned into buildings, and soon, a town.
== Government ==
=== Queen ===
The Queen is both the head of state and government of the Kingdom of Lōrenis. She manages the day-to-day affairs of Lōrenis from her seat in Možestava. The Queen also represents the interests of Lōrenis in the Imperial Roundtable of Ischanor. The current Queen, Zofia Svletanna Korola is also the Archduchess of Beloslavia, which explains why upon her ascension to the throne she would chose Možestava as her seat, over the traditional capital Lōrenin. 
=== Queen's Council ===
The Queen's Council is the central government of the Kingdom. It was introduced very recently, as per the Queen's administrative reforms, replacing the former Vassal Council which was composed of any and all landed nobles in Lōrenis. The Queen's Council is composed of the representatives of the Archduchy of Beloslavia, Duchy of Cirion, Duchy of Selroa and the Lōrenis Crownlands, as well as any other appointed advisor, who is considered an expert in their respective field.
