Khel

The capital city is a port on the north coast, and there’s a huge fortress on the biggest island, that protects the bay and is also used as a kind of military capital.

Most human mercenaries or pirates come from here. It’s always at war against Darlonn, who’d like a bit of access to the sea, but Khel is like, fuck off this is ours.

They have agreements with the elven realms of Vanlaïre and Weststoner, those two countries pay a tax and in exchange, pirates from Khel attack them less. It used to be pretty much hell for the two countries before those agreements. Khel also has a few ‘colonies’ on those two countries, ports that are built by and for Khel’s people, so they are not under the elven countries’ control at all but are bound to respect the limits of their territory.

The capital city has a huge castle, and the best magicians of the country are gathered there.

Most of the mages focus on fighting magic, it’s a really fight-y country.

They allow slave trading.

The current ruler is a human lady called Leriyan Palensco and she’s the most dangerous person on the continent after Lynn Martins.

Lynn being powerful magically and influence wise.

Leryian being powerful by tricks and politics or poisons and daggers.

Even the rulers of Lannwrill are weary of her and would rather like not to have to deal with her.
