Roadrim
Roadrim is a small monarchy kingdom lining the coastal regions of The Rueful Plains near Mournful Bay. The territory that the kingdoms holds is littered with small villages and some large towns and even port cities. These large towns and port cities include Trout Town, Quiet Port, Giant's Harbor, King's Root, Fisher's Rest, Sea Well, Shipper's Bay, and Hill Crest. The current ruler is King Aaron III, at the beginning of his reign he was a kind king, boastful and brave at times but humble and wise in others. But as time grew long his mind slowly failed him and what once was a strong and able king became a frail, easily manipulable, paranoid old fool. Aside from King Aaron Roadrim and its settlements are run by a group of governors and guilds. Governor Reynard Lothbrook runs the small riverside fishing village of Trout Town. Quiet Port is run by Odo Greymaine a corrupt and criminally influential shipping industry head, at his back are a series of large criminal organizations that help run both his business and the port city. The Merchant's Guild runs a large portion of Giant's Harbor but the true figure head of the city is Governor Raymond Downes a pugilant man who manages the legislature of the city. King's Root is the capital city of Roadrim and is ruled directly by the king and his adviser Varis Yaeldrin a mysterious and subtle elf who mostly minds his own business when he is not helping the king. Fisher's Rest is run by The Voyagers a small group of sailors and ship builders that decided to unionize to the point of government. Governor Percival Mansfort II runs Sea Well a small port city on the southern coast of the kingdom. Shipper's Bay is run by Guild Master Cedric Bollin of The Naval Guild. Lastly the farming town of Hill Crest to the northern most part of the kingdom is run by Governor Ella Halvard a very strong and passionate woman.

This wealth is protected by a free standing army of life time soldiers and sailors, these forces are spread across a vast network of outposts, castles, and naval bases.
