Political Geography of the Maraian Commonwealth

The Maraian Commonwealth is divided roughly into three regions: the Emerald Expanse & Environs (Lowlands) to the west, the Highlands to the east and the Heartlands in the main continent's centre, including the Petal Cities of O-Hoshakeiro). Each region, in turn, is divided into its clan territories. Each clan is listed below, along with their Totem Kami. Links to full articles and image galleries are also provided.
