'''The United Nine Tribal Kingdoms of Staynes''', or more commonly referred to as [[Staynes]], is a large nation that resides on the northern coast of the Auroran continent. The mainland borders with [[Axdel]], [[South Staynes]], [[Ethalria]] & [[Caltharus]], whilst [[Staynish Justelvard]] borders with [[Berica]], [[Staynish Horales]] borders with [[Spoontuis]] and [[Staynish Joralesia]] borders with Switzerland and [[Setzna]]. [[Staynes]], which is densely populated in the cities and far less in the countryside, has an estimated population of 147,653,120 people, whilst Joralesia around 6,430,200 people, Justelvard around 3,100,530 people, Horales estimates at 2,800,756 people and the remainder islands a population of around 400,000.
+
'''Staynes''' is a country within [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. It shares a large borders with [[South Staynes]] and [[Nation/Xagrurg|Xagrurg]] to its south, [[Caltharus]] to the east, [[Axdel]] to the west and [[Vothetria]] to the south-east.
−
Altogether, there is a total GDP per capita of S♅43,256.69
+
−
One of the oldest standing nations in Aurora, Staynes was originally called [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlia]] for over a thousand years. It has been Monarch run since the first King of Morstaybishlia, King Pip Makuh, 1132 years ago. The Empire took complete control over Joralesia in the [[War of Joralesia 1716 - 1755]] after a long bitter war with the inhabitants. Following [[The Auroran Imperial War]], the [[Morstaybishlian  Empire]] broke down, and was reclassified as the [[Staynish-Caltharus Empire]], where Staynes has existed since the 11th of May 1970.
+
  
−
Staynes is a member of the [[South East Pacific Coalition Forces]], and a founding member of the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]].
+
The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the Juliakese Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations.

==Armed Forces==
+
Staynes' terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and western Staynes. However, there are uplands in the south (for example, the Zycannes and the mountainous Petenta District) and in the southwest (Zycannes). The capital is [[Sani Bursil]], which has the largest metropolitan area in both the [[United Kingdom]] and the world. Staynes' population of over 155 million comprises 32.8% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around Sani Bursil, the West Coast, and conurbations in the Midlands, the Far North East, and Horkalo, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.
  
−
The [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] has been the Armed Forces unit of [[Staynes]] and [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlia]] throughout its history. It has seen many battles and wars in its 1062 years in existence, such as the [[Stand of Fifty]], the battle led by King Pip that established the Armed Forces, and other examples such as the [[Battle for Caltharus 1515]], the [[War of Joralesia 1716 - 1755]], and most recently, [[The Auroran Imperial War]].
+
The Kingdom of Staynes ceased being a separate sovereign state on the 29th of December 1515, when the [[Union of the Thrones]] merged the two thrones under one name, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Caltharus to create the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia. As a result of the [[Auroran Imperial War]], on the 6th of June 1975, [[South Staynes]] seceded from the Kingdom.  
−
The [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] is centred in Xenliada, a military fortress which is two thirds the size of Redrugus; the city that it lies next to, which is the second largest city in [[Staynes]]. There is three branches of the [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]]:

Staynes is a [[wikipedia:Developed country|developed country]] and is considered to have a [[wikipedia:World Bank high-income economy|high-income economy]] and is categorised as high in the [[wikipedia:Human Development Index|Human Development Index]]. There is a total GDP per capita of $40,597 in Staynes and its dependencies. Staynes has remained as a highly influential [[wikipedia:Core countries|core country]] especially influencing events in [[Aurora]]. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state.

===Last Interglacial period===
  
−
==Kirib==
+
Between fifty two and thirty thousand years ago, seventy percent of Staynes was underwater. The interglacial period marked sea levels as high as 46 meters. The sea resembled the shape of a deflated balloon, connecting Lake Lamberta to the western coast. Around 50,000 BC, the Strathepolic people reach the continent as the Strathepolic Ridge submerged (ridge connecting modern Justelvard to the modern Staynish-Caltharus border). A few hundred years later they began to explore the continent beyond the reaches of their local settlements. By 49,000 BC, there was three very distinct divides in the Strathepolic people; Jubrites, ''Maltites'' and Kosites. The Jubrites had settled within the Jubrione, the Maltites had settled in and around the Zycannes and the Kosites had migrated eastwards.

The Kirib is a multi-continental influential currency which spans across The East Pacific. The Kirib has origins dating back to King Gustav I, and historical documentation of the first phase Kirib in 1422 (1 year after the death of his father), originally referred to as the [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian]] Kiribin, and shortened by Gustav I to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian]] Kirib in 1429.  
+
To date, Lake Lamberta is one of the last remnants of the last interglacial period. Its one of the largest salt water bodies in the world.
−
It was later changed to the Kirib around 1893, following its influence in several nations, and changed into branches of the Kirib according to which nation you were from on the 30th July 1975, following the end of [[The Auroran Imperial War]].  
+
 +
===Predecessor Kingdoms===
  
−
There's been many nations that have used the Kirib. The current holders of the Kirib are:
+
====First Kingdom of Maltervenia====
−
* [[Staynes]]
+
Maltervenian culture is believed to have been its own culture as early as 35,000 BC, whilst still distinct to the Strathepolic culture. It is believed this culture refined itself as early as 10,000 BC, becoming one of a few successors to the extinct Strathepolic culture. Within the 5th millennium BC, numerous kinship groups emerged. In the very first years of the 2nd millennium BC, the first kingdom of Maltervenia formed. The kingdom was ruled by the Jubrita dynasty for three hundred years until it was taken over by the Bagrin dynasty. Their dynasty thrived on slaves from across the continent, building ancient temples, castles and their footprint across the lands for another seven hundred years until the death of its last king.
−
* [[South Staynes]]
+
====Interregnum period====
−
* [[Axdel]]
+
Upon king Volkemur's death in 998 BC, the there was inheritance dispute between his eleven sons, and after a short conflict which saw his eldest son killed, Maltervenia split into ten smaller kingdoms. The names for these kingdoms were Horkon, Avelon, Qinlon, Jublon, Redrug, Miyaron, Lampelon, Corstan, Lambolon and Tuke. 
−

−
* [[Spoontuis]]
+
From 998 BC to 765 BC, the ten kingdoms had become three after several marriages for geopolitical benefits; the Kingdom of Redrug, the Kingdom of Jersia and the Kingdom of Tuke.
−
* [[Staynish Joralesia]]
+
In 972 BC, the kingdoms of Qinlon and Avelon became the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Lutder of Qinlon and queen Nasama of Avelon. In 901 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Corstan, taking control over the area. In 863 BC, the kingdoms of Jublion and Lambolon became the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon after the marriage of king Pippindu and of Jubliak and queen Bourna of Lambolon.
−
* [[Staynish Horales]]
+
Around 800 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Horkon, taking control over the area. In 795 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon declared war against the kingdom of Miyaron. During the conflict, Miyaron allied itself with Lampelon, creating a capable resistance to the stronger eastern country. In 789 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon became the United Kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Norgel of Qinlia-Avelon and queen Vessala of Jubliak-Lambolon. After the United Kingdom defeated the kingdoms of Miyaron and Lampelon in 765 BC, taking control over the area; the united kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon became the kingdom of Jersia.
−
* [[Staynish Justelvard]]
+
  
−
==History==
+
From the years 765 BC and 650 BC, nothing happened between the three kingdoms. In 650 BC, the kingdoms of Redrug and Jersia became the second Kingdom of Maltervenia after the marriage of king Redunnia II of Redrug and queen Serenia of Jersia.

====Second Kingdom of Maltervenia====
−
[[Image:Ancient maltervenian hunting cave art.jpg|left|thumb|100px||4000 year old pack hunting cave art.]]
+
After the eventual death of Redunnia II and Serenia, their son, Lampedris I was crowned the first king of the new country. The country existed until its collapse in 452 AD, taking over more land until it clashed with the borders of the Kormistazmic Empire, the Xagrurgian Empire and the Ethalrian Empire.
−
Ancient Maltervenia symbolises the time period from where the native inhabitants began to utilise the land around them until their tribal formations around 3000 years ago. It is not certain the exact time period that people began living in the lands of North Aurora and modern [[Staynes]], but it is believed to be as much as 7000 years ago.  
+
 
−
The best estimate of the size of the Maltervenian population around 5000 years ago is placed around 14,100, with other top archaeological, science and research sources estimations reading as little as 3,000 and as much as 75,000. Based on proof that this were the time of major Auroran Volcanic activity, such numbers are quite impossible to fathom.  
+
====Second Interregnum Period====
 +
 
 +
After the death of King Lancelyn in 452, the land was torn into thirteen petty kingdoms. From 452 until 553 there were a series of battles that is defined under the [[War of the Thirteen Kingdoms]], resulting in four states; Luradia, Klovia, Trentath and Staynnica. During this war, outside kingdoms including the Kormistazmic Empire, the Ethalrian Empire and the Xagrurgian Empire made significant advances into the cumulative territory that made up the former Second Kingdom of Maltervenia.
 +
 
 +
There was a period of relative peacetime within the four kingdoms following the end of the war. When the Segar dynasty ended after the death of King Sebastian in 810, he was was replaced by his cousin Otho Dohaeris as King of the Luradans. Otho's mother, who was King Sebastian's aunt had died a year before. She married the second son of King Raghaus I of Klovia, a move sought to bring the two kingdoms together. It was soon revealed that Otho's mother had an affair with a commoner making Otho's claim illegitimate. Otho had a younger cousin on his fathers side, prince Randal, who's late father married a deceased Luradan princess, making him the legitimate ruler. This sparked a major multi-theater civil war fought alongside an independence movement which was was a three-way battle for the throne between Otho Dohaeris, his cousin Randal Dohaeris, King Perceval of Trentath who had a legitimate claim as well as King Raghaus I of Klovia, the cousins' shared grandfather.
 +
 
 +
After the war, there remained two kingdoms, Luradia and Staynnica. There was a period of peace from the start of the 10th century until 955 after the death of King Rædulf of Staynnica at the hands of a Luradian plot to take control of Staynnica. The two kingdoms went to war, with Luradia invading Staynnica and defeating the oldest son Ræulf at the battle of Kretan in 959. The second son Rænnulf reigned in turn, but was defeated by King Botulf six years later at the battle of Dog Lake in 965. The third son, Rænnulf, died of dysentery during 970. The fourth and last son, [[Pip the Gallant]], fended off Luradan invasions and soon thereafter orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the capital of Luradia, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.
 +
 
 +
====Kingdom of Staynnica====
 +
 
 +
The Kingdom of Staynnica was the far superior Kingdom in the latter stages of the second integrum period. It controlled all of the north and west coasts, but did not have control of the land between the current borders of Staynes, Caltharus and Vothetria. The second, less known Kingdom was Luradia, and controlled the eastern land of Lake Lamberta, all the way down to Kirdintayos.

−
Ancient Maltervenians from 7000 to 4000 years ago had a tendency of living on their own, playing the role of hunter gatherers. Sources suggest that these people eventually understood the capabilities of working in units and in 1976 the first evidence of this was found as cave art, dating back to 4000 years ago. Beyond this point in time, Maltervenians gained the upper hand and instead of being labelled as prey, they had become the predator. It is clear from petrified samples after this point that these people lived sporadically around the nation in wooden and stone huts, preferring the plains and deciduous forests to the rough inclinations of the Mountain range and the dense northern jungles.

It became common for Maltervenians to wear the dried skins of the toughest animal they slew. This represented power and strength as a warning to others or as a gesture of protection whilst searching for a mate. In more southern areas, it was common that Maltervenians wore bones on their animal skins to pronounce themselves especially whilst searching for a mate. These factors lead to females to choose the male with the most feared animal skins and or most feared animal tusks, skulls, ribs or fingers, resulting in the strongest males producing offspring and the weakest dying off. It varied from area to area, but commonly these people were buried without their possessions, as myths of the undead returning with great deals of power resulted in their possessions being burnt.

Ancient Morstaybishlia marks the period of time between 925 and 1515, from the very first King of Morstaybishlia, Pip Makuh, to Lambertus III. Within this time period, the nation unified from the first Morstaybishlian tribe; Jubliak, to every tribe within the modern borders of [[Staynes]] and [[South Staynes]] (roughly 18). The nation held a dear 29 monarchs, all which has their own documented history.
+
Capital is Fort Jubrayn
−
===Morstaybishlian Empire===
+
−
The [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] was a large Empire founded in 1515 after King Lambertus III of [[Staynes]] reclaimed the [[Caltharus]] throne, and later his grandson, King Redrugus IX, annexed [[Axdel#History|Kormistazm]] as a Principality of the Empire. The Empire spanned the majority of the [[Aurora|Auroran]] continent, which consisted of [[Staynes]] ([[Staynes]] and [[South Staynes]]), [[Caltharus]] and [[Axdel#History|Kormistazm]], before it became known as [[Norograd]] during the last century, which itself consists of modern day [[Emberwood Coast]] and [[Quartz Fern Coast]], before its demise in 1970.

[[Image:Zecrod Furista State of Morstaybishlia leader.jpg|left|thumb|150px||Zecrod Furista; April 2005]]
+
−
In August 2003, a militant resistant group seized control of Fort Staynes after uproar surged from the City Mayor election, which resulted in the Kings psychotic fourth cousin, Yarro Vondeler Peekio being elected. The self-declared [[State of Morstaybishlia]] lasted for 2 years, and was named after the previous country, [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlia]]. The reasoning behind the States survival came down to Royal blood hostages, including the Kings mother. Their leadership changed 4 times, from Abjazl Lecrane, Herdio Washik, Georgio Vermana and finally Zercrod Furista the Hated. In September 2005, a classified Special Operations team infiltrated the State using deception and false IDs and retrieved the royals. The States people, seeing their opportunity to take back their city, did so and the State fell back into the hands of [[Staynes]].  
+
−
Throughout the existence of this State, the [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] closed all trade routes surrounding the micro nation in an attempt to choke the nation of resources. This succeeded to some stature until Zecrod Furista threatened to kill the royal hostages. 
+
−
It is widely believed that Zercrod Furista went into exile somewhere in [[Yasteria]], the exact whereabouts is unknown.

The [[Staynes|Staynish]] Monarchy has existed since its creation in 972 by King Pip Makuh. The Monarchy has had major influence over Aurora, containing 34 Kings and 12 Queens. The current Monarch is Lambertus VII Constantine, who rules with the title 'High-King', derived from King Lambertus III The Great after successfully claiming the [[Caltharus|Caltharusian]] throne in 1515.

Capital is Jersia City.

The Monarchy is represented by several iconic symbols. The most well known is Prince Gustav's (Previous heir to the throne, great grandchild of King Von) Dwarven Hellfire blade known as Archiden the Slayer, which was forged from the [[Great Hellfire of 712]], which is used in the [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] badge ever since its formation and currently under high protection in the Sani Bursil Royal Palace. Another icon of the Monarchy is its Golden Rose (or in the Armed Forces; the colour of Stone which represents solidarity), which had its introduction on the first [[Staynes|Staynish]] flag under the Monarchy and has been used ever since as a symbol of faith, power and leadership.

Staynes is a country within Great Morstaybishlia. It shares a large borders with South Staynes and Xagrurg to its south, Caltharus to the east, Axdel to the west and Vothetria to the south-east.

The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the Juliakese Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations.

Staynes' terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and western Staynes. However, there are uplands in the south (for example, the Zycannes and the mountainous Petenta District) and in the southwest (Zycannes). The capital is Sani Bursil, which has the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the world. Staynes' population of over 155 million comprises 32.8% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around Sani Bursil, the West Coast, and conurbations in the Midlands, the Far North East, and Horkalo, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.

The Kingdom of Staynes ceased being a separate sovereign state on the 29th of December 1515, when the Union of the Thrones merged the two thrones under one name, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Caltharus to create the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia. As a result of the Auroran Imperial War, on the 6th of June 1975, South Staynes seceded from the Kingdom.

Staynes is a developed country and is considered to have a high-income economy and is categorised as high in the Human Development Index. There is a total GDP per capita of $40,597 in Staynes and its dependencies. Staynes has remained as a highly influential core country especially influencing events in Aurora. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state.

History

Last Interglacial period

Between fifty two and thirty thousand years ago, seventy percent of Staynes was underwater. The interglacial period marked sea levels as high as 46 meters. The sea resembled the shape of a deflated balloon, connecting Lake Lamberta to the western coast. Around 50,000 BC, the Strathepolic people reach the continent as the Strathepolic Ridge submerged (ridge connecting modern Justelvard to the modern Staynish-Caltharus border). A few hundred years later they began to explore the continent beyond the reaches of their local settlements. By 49,000 BC, there was three very distinct divides in the Strathepolic people; Jubrites, Maltites and Kosites. The Jubrites had settled within the Jubrione, the Maltites had settled in and around the Zycannes and the Kosites had migrated eastwards.

To date, Lake Lamberta is one of the last remnants of the last interglacial period. Its one of the largest salt water bodies in the world.

Predecessor Kingdoms

First Kingdom of Maltervenia

Maltervenian culture is believed to have been its own culture as early as 35,000 BC, whilst still distinct to the Strathepolic culture. It is believed this culture refined itself as early as 10,000 BC, becoming one of a few successors to the extinct Strathepolic culture. Within the 5th millennium BC, numerous kinship groups emerged. In the very first years of the 2nd millennium BC, the first kingdom of Maltervenia formed. The kingdom was ruled by the Jubrita dynasty for three hundred years until it was taken over by the Bagrin dynasty. Their dynasty thrived on slaves from across the continent, building ancient temples, castles and their footprint across the lands for another seven hundred years until the death of its last king.

Interregnum period

Upon king Volkemur's death in 998 BC, the there was inheritance dispute between his eleven sons, and after a short conflict which saw his eldest son killed, Maltervenia split into ten smaller kingdoms. The names for these kingdoms were Horkon, Avelon, Qinlon, Jublon, Redrug, Miyaron, Lampelon, Corstan, Lambolon and Tuke.

Ten kingdoms after the collapse of the first kingdom of Maltervenia (c.995 BC)
The kingdoms of Redrug, Jersia and Tuke before the second kingdom of Maltervenia (c.660 BC)

From 998 BC to 765 BC, the ten kingdoms had become three after several marriages for geopolitical benefits; the Kingdom of Redrug, the Kingdom of Jersia and the Kingdom of Tuke. In 972 BC, the kingdoms of Qinlon and Avelon became the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Lutder of Qinlon and queen Nasama of Avelon. In 901 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Corstan, taking control over the area. In 863 BC, the kingdoms of Jublion and Lambolon became the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon after the marriage of king Pippindu and of Jubliak and queen Bourna of Lambolon. Around 800 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Horkon, taking control over the area. In 795 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon declared war against the kingdom of Miyaron. During the conflict, Miyaron allied itself with Lampelon, creating a capable resistance to the stronger eastern country. In 789 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon became the United Kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Norgel of Qinlia-Avelon and queen Vessala of Jubliak-Lambolon. After the United Kingdom defeated the kingdoms of Miyaron and Lampelon in 765 BC, taking control over the area; the united kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon became the kingdom of Jersia.

From the years 765 BC and 650 BC, nothing happened between the three kingdoms. In 650 BC, the kingdoms of Redrug and Jersia became the second Kingdom of Maltervenia after the marriage of king Redunnia II of Redrug and queen Serenia of Jersia.

Second Kingdom of Maltervenia

After the eventual death of Redunnia II and Serenia, their son, Lampedris I was crowned the first king of the new country. The country existed until its collapse in 452 AD, taking over more land until it clashed with the borders of the Kormistazmic Empire, the Xagrurgian Empire and the Ethalrian Empire.

Second Interregnum Period

After the death of King Lancelyn in 452, the land was torn into thirteen petty kingdoms. From 452 until 553 there were a series of battles that is defined under the War of the Thirteen Kingdoms, resulting in four states; Luradia, Klovia, Trentath and Staynnica. During this war, outside kingdoms including the Kormistazmic Empire, the Ethalrian Empire and the Xagrurgian Empire made significant advances into the cumulative territory that made up the former Second Kingdom of Maltervenia.

There was a period of relative peacetime within the four kingdoms following the end of the war. When the Segar dynasty ended after the death of King Sebastian in 810, he was was replaced by his cousin Otho Dohaeris as King of the Luradans. Otho's mother, who was King Sebastian's aunt had died a year before. She married the second son of King Raghaus I of Klovia, a move sought to bring the two kingdoms together. It was soon revealed that Otho's mother had an affair with a commoner making Otho's claim illegitimate. Otho had a younger cousin on his fathers side, prince Randal, who's late father married a deceased Luradan princess, making him the legitimate ruler. This sparked a major multi-theater civil war fought alongside an independence movement which was was a three-way battle for the throne between Otho Dohaeris, his cousin Randal Dohaeris, King Perceval of Trentath who had a legitimate claim as well as King Raghaus I of Klovia, the cousins' shared grandfather.

After the war, there remained two kingdoms, Luradia and Staynnica. There was a period of peace from the start of the 10th century until 955 after the death of King Rædulf of Staynnica at the hands of a Luradian plot to take control of Staynnica. The two kingdoms went to war, with Luradia invading Staynnica and defeating the oldest son Ræulf at the battle of Kretan in 959. The second son Rænnulf reigned in turn, but was defeated by King Botulf six years later at the battle of Dog Lake in 965. The third son, Rænnulf, died of dysentery during 970. The fourth and last son, Pip the Gallant, fended off Luradan invasions and soon thereafter orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the capital of Luradia, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.

Kingdom of Staynnica

The Kingdom of Staynnica was the far superior Kingdom in the latter stages of the second integrum period. It controlled all of the north and west coasts, but did not have control of the land between the current borders of Staynes, Caltharus and Vothetria. The second, less known Kingdom was Luradia, and controlled the eastern land of Lake Lamberta, all the way down to Kirdintayos.
