Polities

Great Powers

 * Ymaryn Empire - The most prestigious polity around. Currently controlled much of the lowland and part of Yllython Mor.
 * Khemetri - Fought the Ymaryn during the Great Power war and eventually conceded King of the Hill. Established friendly relations afterward, until the Ymaryn opposition to slavery led to conflict between International Games partners. Recently, they abandoned their colonies in the region due to plague, losing the majority of contact, and their current status is not fully known.

Moderate Powers

 * Harmurri - Previously known as swamp folks, they were former vassals of the Xohyr until they rebelled and the latter was destroyed. They participate in the International Games, and appear to be focused on trade and terrain-based defence rather than military build-up.
 * Storm Ymaryn - Merger of Western Ymaryn and the Storm Tribes.
 * Freehills - Successor to the Trelli, and is a state formed out of freed slaves.

Minors

 * Highland Kingdom - Successor of the Western Confederacy. It warred with the Xohyr for the control of the lowland until the latter's destruction, then warred with the Ymaryn twice out of fear of being marginalized before becoming a hermit kingdom. Their failed conquest of the lowlands had cost them valuable territory in the lowlands due to the Ymaryn.

Others

 * Saffron Islands(Fog of War)
