## Regions

### Aundair

Aundair, one of the five nations of the original Kingdom of Galifar, possesses large swathes of fertile fields supplying the nations of Khorvaire with food and wine while the higher institutes of learning output scholars and knowledge.

With a monarchical government, Aundair and it's population of 2,000,000 is ruled by Queen Aurala ir'Wynarn. This population is made up of a wide swathe of races: Humans (51%), Half-Elves (16%), Elves (11%), Gnomes (11%), Halflings (5%), Felidae (3%), Changelings (2%), Other (1%).

While there is a wide spread of races living in Aundair, there are only two major religions - the Silver Flame and the Sovereign Host

### Breland

One of five nations in central Khorvaire, Breland enjoys one of the largest areas of the nations and territories. Breland is a mixture of open farmland, woodland, and sprawling metropolis, being the home to Lightning Rail which originates in Sharn and travels from there across Breland and the other nations of Khorvaire. Where the Lightning Rail doesn't reach in the remote countryside of Breland, the roads of House Orien do.

Breland is a constitutional monarchy, ruled by King Boranel. It has a population of 3,700,000, with Humans (44%), Gnomes (14%), Half-Elves (10%), Elves (8%), Halflings (4%), Changelings (4%), Goblinoids (4%), Orcs (3%), and Other (2%).

### The Demon Wastes

A forbidden realm of barren rock on both the physical and social fringe of Khorvaire, this is the last remnant of the ancient civilization of Rakshasas which reigned over Khorvaire before the Age of Monsters and long before Humans stepped foot in Khorvaire.

With no overarching government or infrastructure, the Wastes are occupied by two distinct barbarian tribes - the Ghaash'kala Clan in the Labyrinth, and the Carrion Tribe which worships the imprisoned Rajahs, a type of powerful fiend. In addition, Orcs wander the plains west of the canyons and in Ashtakala - the closest thing to a capital city that The Demon Wastes has - the Lords of Dust hatch plots while the Night Hags gather devouts.

### Droaam

A nation ruled by monsters, few of the 'civilized' races dare test its borders. The area is mostly inhospitable, barren plains with sparse copses of trees and large amounts of mineral resources. Their main export is mercenaries, dragonshards, and the mineral byeshk.

### The Mournland

Cyre, the most beautiful of the Five Nations of Galifar, is now known simply as The Mournland. The battleground for the armies of Breland, Thrane, and Karrnath, nobody knows if the disaster which struck down the crown jewel of Galifar was an accident, a weapon of an enemy nation, or a doomsday device of Cyre's own making. Regardless, cataclysm came in a blast of arcane power unseen since the ruin of Xen'Drik forty thousand years previous - and so Cyre disappeared.

Now all that is left of Cyre is a memory in history books. It is The Mournland, a waste shrouded in a border of dead-grey mist. Inside the shroud is perpetual twilight, battle-scarred. In some areas, the land is burnt, scorched, torn - in others, it has been melded into sheets of glass. Broken bodies litter the ground, refusing to decompose. Arcane effects rain down upon the land, magical storms that never end. Dark magic twists and mutates spells and creatures. The dead rise, fighting battles long lost by both sides in a perpetual cycle.

There is officially no population, no leadership. Unofficially, however, the Warforged Lord of the Blades gathers followers to himself in an attempt to build an empire. The population of The Mournland is 1,000 consisting of Warforged (98%), and Other (2%).

Their only religion is The Lord of the Blades.

### Q'Barra

A dangerous frontier nation, full of steamy jungles and sprawling swampland - Q'Barra is a land for the bold and the tenacious. This nation is not completely inhospitable, however, as a small strip of fertile land lies to the southeast, and other open expanses intersperse the nation.

### The Talenta Plains

A vast grassland, stretching from the Blade Desert, to Karrnath and The Mournland.
