Overview of Alliances and Places
The various countries, places, and alliances on Enos are summarized below. In total, there are five grand alliances of note, six independent countries of note, and a selection of places on Enos that bear more detailing.
The Grand Alliances are perhaps the most notable political feature of Enos, representing groups of countries, principalities, and other such geographic collections of people around a common cause. To vastly oversimplify the situation, the principalities that comprise the Arnastian Grand Alliance wish to spread and conquer the known world, and all but one of the other Grand Alliances are formed to prevent that from happening.
The remaining areas of Enos are covered by independent countries, which are detailed below the Grand Alliances. Below that is a selection of places worthy of additional note.

The Arnastian Grand Alliance
Located atop the Prenalian contient, the The Arnastian Grand Alliance consists of the five principalities of Pran in the southwest, Magdin in the southeast, Celiph along the northwestern coast, Kedia in the northeast, and Afithis in the center. The vast expanse of desert contained in the self-described Queendom is magically farmed for food, and the Queen-in-Slumber Atue Runtoyek issues directives via dreams from her palace in the city in Afithis which shares her surname. To the west sits the independent country of @Avaritia, and to the south sits the independent country of Ephistius to the southwest and the The Fraisian Grand Alliance to the south and southeast. To the east sits the Aquan Ocean, and the ever-boiling Mortalic Ocean lies to the north.The Bestian Grand Alliance
Far to the east of the Queendom of Arnast sits the two islands whose people form the The Bestian Grand Alliance. The western island of Koraga sits in lock with the eastern island of Madiga, with the former island hosting the independent Ashen Veil. Atue Marolain, one of the two remaining Dying Queens is alive and active in her people's lives, and while she and Atue Runtoyek disagree on the vast majority of topics, she is one of the few people in Enos that has spoken directly to the Queen in Slumber. The people of Bestia are known for their link to The Ethereal Plane, as the vast majority of those born on the islands carry with them the spirit of a beast, humanoid, or other creature. It is not uncommon for a marketplace to contain as many or more ghosts than people, though the spirits are almost always friendly to those they bond with. The loss of a lover or family member in Bestia may not be the end, and losing a beloved pet may just be a transient change in form.The Fraisian Grand Alliance
Situated in the center of the Prenalian continent, the The Fraisian Grand Alliance consists of the three nations of Estell in the northeast, Nurik in the north, and Isilii in the south. The lush fields and forests of the Isilii Republic give way to a harsher climate as one travels further north into Nurik, which houses the sprawling metropolis of Centurion, the largest city on Enos. Foolish travelers that venture eastward into Estell will quickly find a dead, sand-blasted wasteland occupied mostly by wandering Orc tribes, with a few human settlements along the coast. To the south sits The Gravis Grand Alliance, and to the north is The Arnastian Grand Alliance. To the west sits the independent country of Ephistius, and to the east sits only the Aquan Ocean.The Gravis Grand Alliance
Occupying the southern part of Prenalia, The Gravis Grand Alliance has the Fraisian Grand Alliance to its north. Comprised of the member countries of Boltare, Elken, and Maure, this alliance is the least-connected in purpose of all the treaty-bound alliances on Enos. While Boltare is known for its magicrystal production and over-the-top festivals, Elken is known for its advancements in technology and experimentation with new technologies that fuse the arcane and the crafted. Maure sits at the snow-covered southernmost point of the continent and sports a rugged people known for their skill with rudimentary magecraft.The Protectorate Grand Alliance
Situated on the island of Draxus to the southeast of Prenalia and south of Madiga, The Protectorate Grand Alliance guards The Queen's Crater, a nightmare of twisted reality at the center of the continent formed in 2419QE with the death of the first Dying Queen Atue Omelolth in the Hollowing of Draxus. The people here are either trapped by circumstance or wholly dedicated to fighting the horrors that spill from the crater.The Ashen Veil
