The United Kingdom of Ahlissa
The United Kingdom of Ahlissa is considered by many to be the remains of the old Great Kingdom of Aerdy. It was the domain of then Prince Xavener when the kingdom fell in the 580s (20 years ago). It was founded 1700 years ago by Queen Ehlissa the Enchanter. Its capital is Kalstrand. While its people are 80% human, its religion and culture are quite diverse, and species of all varients can be found here in small numbers.
Overking Xavener still rules here, although the kingdom is a feudal empire so his rule only applies so long as he can keep the provincial rulers in line. Ahlissa is allied closely with The Divine Order but does not share its faniticism. Xavener has benefited greatly from his alliance with the Order and has recently absorbed the entire 'North Kingdom', but he is aware he is being used in turn as a bulwark against the Scarlet Brotherhood.
The lands here boast vast hardwood forests, and while the mountains of the region are not high, the hills contain a large amount of metal, particularly the soft metals. However, there is little salt for preserving foodstuffs. Most such minerals are imported from the far west.
