Introduction
This page lists the Ten Kingdoms, and individual cities within them. Click on the names of each kingdom to see the main article for that kingdom. The individual kingdom articles have information about the country as a whole, while the location links have information about the city, town, island or area as well as links to specific RP locations. Some town names are not described with a link; you're welcome to use your imagination, and reference these locations in your character's backstories or roleplay.
Below the list of Kingdoms, you will find links to maps of the Ten Kingdoms (the Headlands and the Vales), including a detailed map of Anaxas.
Please see the Travel Times for an idea of how long it takes to get around the main areas of Anaxas and beyond by various transportation methods.

The Kingdom of Anaxas is a successful and advanced kingdom, but one plagued by the constant threat of civil war. The social situation in Anaxas is volatile and oppressive, but it is currently the seat of the Symvouli for the Six Kingdoms.

- Paora Fo - a desert village
- Isla Kura - a mysterious and legendary island lost in the mist

Bastia
Bastia is a wealthy and luxurious country that has lately fallen into unstable economic times. They have a similar culture to Anaxas, though they are distinct for their appreciation of the arts, fashion and fine living, and do not obsess over knowledge in the same way.
This Kingdom is currently closed for play.
- Florne - capital city

Gior
Gior, a kingdom to the south of Anaxas, is a beautiful and natural country with many livestock farmers. The galdori live in canyons, in cities carved out of mountains.
This Kingdom is currently closed for play.
Naulanon
The deep forests of Naulanon are mostly uncharted, but the tales related by explorers tell of vast tribes of galdori, uncivilized and rough, and of bodily sacrifice to the Death god Naulas. It is a terrifying and dark place, and only the bravest dare venture there.
According to various accounts, there does not seem to be a human population in Naulanon; the popular theory is that the humans were all sacrificed.
Shotha
Shotha is the southernmost country in the Ten Kingdoms, and also the most mysterious. It is a primitive jungle kingdom that has limited contact with the outside world.
In the lush forests of Shotha, a race of humans and galdori live together peacefully, defying all convention. Among the ruins of an even more ancient civilization a rare example of cooperation thrives, baffling all who visit.
The borders to this country are closed off.
Vezzea
Vezzea is mostly a petrified forest of thick and tall trees. The area is largely unexplored - the last societies of tribal galdori are said to have died out many years ago. Hatchers roam the land now, making it impossible to get very far into the territory.
Roannah*
Once a thriving and powerful nation, Roannah was reduced to cinders after the War of the Book. It is now covered by covens of hatchers and thought to be cursed.
