   Runsor is a large, prosperous kingdom that stretches from the icy Midnight Mountains in the north to the Moray Ocean in the south, from the perilous Zagrah Wastes in the west to the sparse forests of Valdia in the east. These are lands rich in ancient history, largely forgotten. The kingdom is populated by humans (77%) and elves (23%), most elves have assimilated into human society but their ultra-conservative part lives in a closed elven Enclave in the south of Runsor by the elder pact with crown. Society and the kingdom's authorities are extremely wary of magic, and although it is legal, there is an unspoken ban on its official study. However, some forms of combat magic, as well as witchcraft, necromancy and infernal magic are strictly forbidden. The capital of Runsor is the city of Ristal.

   Border kingdoms: Voral - a trading kingdom on a mountainous peninsula near the southeastern border, the main hub of trade with the southern continent; Valdia - a mountainous and densely forested kingdom near the eastern border, a harsh and unfriendly land where sorcery is practiced freely; Sildoria - a mysterious and closed kingdom on the northern border, where magic is woven into every aspect of life, a sworn enemy of Runsor with revanchist sentiments; Arahein - a warlike state-united tribes near the northwestern border, highly advanced in warfare and making devastating raids on all their neighbors; Hand - a five city-states near the western border, scattered across the Zagrah Wastes and more interested in competing with each other than with Runsor; Dor Adat - a ruins of a once great ancient kingdom near the southwestern border, stretches along the southern and western shores of the continent, enjoys the notoriety of being forever cursed;

   Ristal is the largest city and capital of the Kingdom of Runsor. It is located on the southern coast, slightly west of the Voral Peninsula. The abundance of arable fields and coastal forests, coupled with a well-developed network of roads to all corners of the continent, made it a major trading hub even before the founding of Runsor itself. The grandeur of Ristal is reflected in its rich and grandiose architecture with its abundance of statues, bas-reliefs, wide streets, green gardens and pompous squares.

The place was empty for a short time, growing with taverns, gambling houses and brothels, and in the center of the district at the base of an old elven tree opened a fair with outlandish but largely dubious (often magical) goods. The look of the local buildings bears the former imprint of the graceful culture of the elves, but at night it is better not to walk here without company.

Headquarters: Sunbeam Citadel Description: The Order of the Dawn is an elite organization of knights reporting directly to the royal family. Their headquarters are located in the Sunbeam Citadel in the capital city of Runsor, Ristal. In the past they were an order of zealous defenders of justice and an example of mercy,but with the collapse of the Dawn Empire they became a crown-dependent guard (although many members of the order still remember their traditions,regretting the loss of their former ideals). The Knights of the Dawn are clad in heavy white armor and golden cloaks with scarlet fringe,and their emblem is a claymore sword against the backdrop of a rising sun with sharp rays. Centuries of experience in tactics,cohesive discipline,and a unique style of swordsmanship with two-handed swords called An'Sedar make them a serious force on the battlefield.

    Berdain Solenar is the legendary warrior queen of the Dawn Empire, ruling two hundred years ago. She was an excellent commander and diplomat, personally leading the Knights of the Dawn who revered her on military campaigns, conquering nearly the entire continent by force or cunning. Unfortunately Berdain was a sociophobe, indifferent to court life and completely uninterested in matters of procreation. Her marriage to a consort prince from the kingdom of Voral was cold and brought no heirs. In addition, the queen was warm to the elves living in her lands, whom the population disliked. When the armies of the elven empire invaded from the neighboring continent, Berdain was killed under unclear circumstances. According to one version she was killed by elven saboteurs, according to another her husband was tired of his wife's indifference and conspired with the nobility. According to one of the craziest versions Berdain revived after death, and having seduced her loyal Knights of the Dawn with dark magic, brutally killed her husband and former advisors during the elven invasion. In any case, her fate remained unknown, the Dawn Empire fell under the onslaught of the enemy and split into separate kingdoms, but Runsor retained most of the old traditions and in his memory Berdain Solenar remained a great historical figure.

    Sorena is one of the port cities of the Kingdom of Runsor, located near the eastern borders with the Kingdom of Valdia. The abundance of forests and mountains in the region has made it an important supplier of wood and ore. The cool seaside climate with frequent rainfall has given Sorena a reputation as a dreary, uncomfortable place, but in fact the bleakness of the port district here contrasts sharply with the wealth of the merchant quarters. There are a total of six districts in the city: • Badger harbor (Барсучья Гавань) - port and warehouse • Copper street (Медная улица) - merchant district facing the market square • Marble cliff (Мраморный Утес) - residential area of wealthy citizens • Aspen alleys (Осиновая аллея) - an old neighborhood of dilapidated mansions, transitioning into a slum by the harbor) • The Crossroads (Перекресток) - a crossroads of three streets adjacent to the city market, where several taverns and craft guilds are located • The Steps (Ступени) - a tiered neighborhood of nobles, with a lord's castle at the top and a city temple at the bottom).

    The Order of the Scarlet Tribunal is one of the independent knightly orders in the Kingdom of Runsor. Their main purpose is to hunt demons, demon worshippers, and track down infernal artifacts or knowledge to isolate them from curious mages. Unlike some other orders, the Scarlet Tribunal is not subject to the church, lords, or royalty, but often cooperates with them for mutual benefit. The structure of the order is as follows:

    • New recruits are trained for one to three years with the rank of squire. For unique merits, they may be knighted much earlier;
    • An initiate becomes a Knight Acolyte or a Knight Scribe (depending on skills);
    • A Knight Acolyte is the initial rank in the combat wing of the Order. Over time, he can become a Knight Lieutenant (commanding a squad of Acolytes), then a Knight Captain (commanding several squads) and then a Knight Commander (able to command an entire outpost or fortress);
    • A Knight Scribe is the initial rank of the knowledge wing of the Order, they keep chronicles, collate and record information received from other knights or other sources, study types of demons, their strengths and weaknesses. The most experienced become a Knight Preserver, gaining access to the most dangerous knowledge and the ability to directly study demonic artifacts or captured demons.
    • At the head of the Order is the Pentavirate, five of the most experienced and trusted knights led by a Knight Magister.

    The Scarlet Tribunal has several stronghold outposts throughout the kingdom, and their main base is Blackthorn Fortress, located on a small island near the city of Sorena.

    The Enclave is a small territory in the southwest of the kingdom of Runsor, representing independent elven lands. Formally they are part of Runsor, but the king allowed the elves to live there freely by their own rules, to have their own government and militia, in exchange for closed borders and regular payment of taxes to the treasury. By decree of the first ruler of Runsor, the territory of the Enclave and the surrounding forests are closed to human visitation, while the elves also pledge not to leave their lands. The only exceptions are merchants, royal envoys and tax collectors. There are several elven villages and forest fortresses in the territory of the Enclave, as well as their formal capital, the large settlement of Elmador, built around the ancient ruins of the same name.

The goals of Savolla's Krona are espionage on the territory of the kingdom of Runsor, recruitment of informants among the elven population, covert elimination of persons who pose a threat to the Enclave (from bandit leaders, to merchants and even minor nobles), as well as the elimination of other dangers. Among the members of the organization there are many who dislike humans and even have a clear racism towards them.

    Coat of Arms: not present Ruling dynasty: none at present Description: Once a thousand years ago, Great Dor ("Dor Adat" on ancient dorish language) was the first state on the entire continent, with a capital city of cyclopean proportions built of blue marble. It was ruled by a council of warlock kings from the four strongest dynasties, who succeeded each other as leader every twenty years. Alas, intrigue led to strife between them, and the jealousy and ambition of lesser clans fueled the fire. The turmoil that engulfed Dor turned into a full-scale wizarding war that killed all the pretenders and their dynasties and destroyed the state, ravaging it with magical cataclysms and poisoning it with unholy magic. The few surviving warlords of Dora, who did not possess magic, tried to take power, but none of them held it for long. Most of the inhabitants fled the lands to the north and east, establishing the foundations of the kingdoms that exist today. The territory of Dor Adat became an uninhabitable desert, dotted with apocryphal ruins and notorious for being a cursed place that nevertheless held ancient secrets and lost riches.

    Coat of arms: a white wolf and a crescent moon on a purple shield with a silver border Ruling dynasty: Mithralds Major cities: Vendenon (capital), Rigen (major river trading port), Hentral (ancient northern stronghold, half destroyed but rebuilt) Description: A harsh land covered with gloomy spruce forests, steep mountains and swamps. The few plains that form the basis of Valdia's arable land are located in the central and southern part of this kingdom, framed on both sides by the winding rivers Semalta and Varein. The Valdians are accustomed to a hard life, making them seem cold-blooded and cynical to other peoples, but this is more of a stereotype than the full truth. During the collapse of the Dawn Empire, Valdia took the brunt of the Elven invasion forces from the neighboring continent that landed on the eastern coast and was almost destroyed. For this reason, even centuries later, the elves are hated here and destroyed by all means, driving them into the forests and reducing them to a half-wild state. Unlike Runsor, the Valdians are loyal to mages and magic, looking past even radical practices like necromancy (as long as they don't become socially dangerous). There are seven Arcane Rings in the kingdom - schools of magic where specialized areas of sorcery are studied. One of the most honorable is the Enedra Ring, which trains elite combat mages for the Valdian army, skilled in both cold weapons and elemental magic (frost, flame, and lightning). The northern part of the kingdom is regularly attacked by the tribes of the Three-Headed Peak (feral descendants of the inhabitants of the city of Argengard, the former capital of Valdia, abandoned due to the sudden cold snap, whose ruins are icy and rumored to be full of black magic).

    Coat of Arms: coiled fish with golden scales on a blue-green diamond-shaped background Ruling dynasty: Ermadis Major cities: Kadrialia (the capital with a grand port), Mismara (a multi-level city on the mountainside, famous for its wines). Description: The kingdom of Voral is truly a major pearl among the others. Thanks to its developed seafaring and many connections, Voral's culture is very diverse and quite free-thinking. Voralians are a cordial, cheerful and adventurous people. They believe that life is a holiday given by the gods, so they try to live it as brightly and cheerfully as possible, enjoying every moment. In Voral, festivals are extremely popular, wine plays a huge role in their culture, and Voralish art glorifies adventure and love adventures (which often creates a stereotype of Voralians as drunkards and lechers). As the southernmost point of the continent, Voral has become the main trading hub with the southern continent, making it the wealthiest kingdom and its merchant fleet the most numerous and well-equipped. The armies of Voral are small due to their favorable territorial location (the entire western part of the peninsula is occupied by a mountain range, and the main route runs along the coast, from the border with Runsor on the northern isthmus to the capital on the southern coast), preferring the tactics of lightning attacks and quick retreats with small forces in mountainous terrain. In case of invasion from outside, mobilization of large militia, perfectly able to conduct guerrilla warfare, became a serious force. At sea, the Voral fleet is the most powerful, surpassing even the ship armadas of Runsor.

Description: The territories of Arahein are located in the northwestern part of the continent, in the Vesnarad Highlands. It is a very unfriendly place with a dry and cold climate. Most of the territory is a rocky plateau with sparse pine forests and scant pastures. Arahein is bordered on the north by the impenetrable Claw Mountains, on the northwest by the kingdom of Sildoria, separated from it by the Razorback Ridge, and on the east and south by the Zagrah Wasteland and five city-states called the Hand. Most often Arahain raiders raid the settlements of Hand, but sometimes the most desperate of them travel east and plunder the borderlands of the kingdom of Runsor after crossing the wasteland. The Arahein are an alliance of tribes and clans that have merged into a single kingdom under the firm hand of a warlord. Culturally and socially they are very backward. Despite their seeming backwardness, Arahein is an extremely militarised society, with military technology on par with other kingdoms, and in some respects even superior. All Araheinians are skilled and fond of handling weapons from childhood, from peasant to soldier. They are extremely curious about military tactics and crafts, and are happy to borrow and adapt them from anywhere they can learn.

    House Fargrave Holdings: Sorena (a port city on the western border of the Kingdom of Runsor) Fortress: Howling Hill History: The Fargraves are descended from the mountain tribes of the Bitter Ridge, which separates the lands of Runsor from Valdia. Their ancestors, called the Graves, were banished by their tribesmen for practicing sorcery that displeased the Stone God worshipped there. The outcast clan settled by the sea, settling on a large hill with an extensive network of caves. As the kingdom of Lun (the forerunner of Runsor) expanded eastward, it encountered fierce resistance from the hill tribes, and the Graves saw a chance to get even with their former enemies. They swore an oath to the outsiders and used their knowledge of the Bitter Ridge to help the armies of the Moons crush all other clans, for which they received the title of Lords of the Hill and Guardians of the Mountains, as well as the surname Fargrave. The Mornwood dynasty ruling the Loon kingdom commanded them to rule these lands and defend them from raids by the defeated tribes. After gaining more advanced knowledge and craftsmanship, the Fargraves began actively mining the stone and gemstones of the lands entrusted to them, and on the hill that once sheltered them they built their own family fortress called Howling Hill (for the rumbling winds blowing in the caves beneath it). Evil tongues say that the tradition of burying their kin in the caves beneath the castle is a sign of the family's dark past, and that their former pastimes of witchcraft have not gone away, and the Fargraves still perform macabre rituals with the dead in these crypts. Be that as it may, they have been loyal and most loyal supporters of the crown ever since, even when the Mornwood dynasty perished along with the kingdom of Lune and were replaced first by the Solenars and afterward by the Greathills (the current rulers of Runsor).
