The Countries of Midbaar, or at Least the Ones We Care About Right Now

Turning to the first page on countries, the table of contents displays a generous list and a small note provided by fate: "There's a map provided on the wall in case you're unsure of where the places are. Unfortunately for those of you on mobile phones, your tiny screens are just too tiny, and the map doesn't like that."

Gvaiim, The Continent

Not that it's super important, but you should probably know that while Midbaar is the world... Gvaiim is the continent which all the important stuff is happening. Everything else is background noise.

Located on Gvaiim, there's a handful of major countries. Around eleven or twelve, last I checked.

The Ahresian Theocracy

A northern country that religiously worships the Gray Lady, where money is taken so seriously that not even death will clear you of your debts.

The Island of Dain

A military country based on a naval fleet, their intentions are for thrills and festivity. Much of the time it means causing mischief and chaos for the rest of the countries.

The Icarian Diarchy

Located on the west coast, the Icarians value innovation, technology, and invention. It is not a far stretch to say that they are the most technologically advanced.

The Jeidit Commonwealth

A northern country that follows the will of the Lord Archivist. The resident deity and the one who established the largest depository of knowledge on the planet.

The Jembani Collective

Located on the western coast, the Jembanites are known for their medical advancements, and study of biodiversity. Though ethics are very important to them.

The Osephian States

Located in the center of the continent, the desert is home to two warring factions that seem to follow the philosophies of one ascendant, however their values differ enough that the two kingdoms remain locked in conflict.

Tribes of Revin

A southern country, one that lives amongst jungles and the nature of beasts. Those who live here partake in hunting festivals to offer trophies to their resident ascendant as a means of receiving great blessings.

The Siemites

A southern country that religiously worships the Matron Verte. From those who were created by her hands to the ones descended from her. This country values art, nature, and beauty.

Kingdom of New-Veil

A northern country, where the dragons originate from. One massive kingdom that sprawls out over a massive territory, though much of its population is densely packed into the metropolis.

The Zebolites

A western country, one that resides primarily underground. They follow the teachings of their ascendant, based on the ideal of eternal life and a sense of beauty one can only achieve through becoming something unchanging.

The Witches of May-Soph

A western country, steeped in a mysterious fog on all days of the year. The residents here are practitioners of alchemy, and exist as a remote faction without an ascendant tree. However, their great elder is rumored to have been around longer than the world itself.
