The Dhalmekian Republic - The Dhalmekian Republic is made up of five states, from which the members of its ruling parliament are drawn.Using the power of the kingdom's Mothercrystal, Drake's Spine, this new king has built up a mighty army, with which he now seeks to test the borders of his neighbors. The kingdom's control of the continent has oft been tested by the orcs and other beastmen who make their home there, but the current ruler of the realm-the Dominant of Odin, Warden of Darkness-has succeeded in quelling their rebellions. The Kingdom of Waloed - Waloed claims the entirety of Ash, the eastern half of Valisthea, as its dominion.The Dominant of Bahamut, Warden of Light, serves as the empire's champion, taking to the field in times of war to rout its enemies. The people happily take advantage of this, living in comfort and security under the watchful gaze of the Holy Emperor, whom they worship as the living incarnation of the one true deity. The Empire's holy capital Oriflamme is built around Drake's Head, the Mothercrystal that blesses the surrounding provinces with abundant aether. The Holy Empire of Sanbreque - Sanbreque is the largest theocratic force in Valisthea.The Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire (Warden of Fire), is enthroned as Archduke when they come of age. Rosaria draws its aether from Drake's Breath, a Mothercrystal situated on a volcanic island off the coast. After years of relative prosperity, the duchy now finds itself threatened by the spread of the Blight-a threat that, left unchecked, would doubtless usher the realm to ruin. The Grand Duchy of Rosaria - Long ago, a group of small independent provinces in western Valisthea found strength in unity, and formed the Grand Duchy of Rosaria.Yet now the peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions.

Great powers have grown up around each Mothercrystal, and an uneasy peace has long reigned between them. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty. The land of Valisthea is studded with Mothercrystals-glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether. Valisthea―A Land Blessed in the Light of the Mothercrystals.
