THE FOUR KINGDOMS
The Silver City is the land of the Intellects, a population that is known for their intelligence, slender appearance, confidence, and science. But this comes at a cost as the other kingdoms find them to be arrogant. They are ruled by the High Intellect council, an elitist group of noblemen with progressive politics some would argue as being radical. The Silver City is the wealthiest of the four kingdoms and the first to develop a major metropolis.
Prairie Pride are a hardworking people who live off the lands. The Pride at one point in time were the overseers of all the architecture in the known world. Their commitment to their beliefs was the ultimate undoing of trust between kingdoms. Stubborn folk they are, equally as closed minded as the Intellects but over a different belief system. They reside amongst the rolling hills of the Prairies and have developed a complicated residential tunnel system underground.
Island of the Nautics is where the Nautics reside on an isolated chain of islands and wander the known seas living strictly off of wildlife. The only reason they had to deal with those on land is for metals and lumber. They were once a faction of the Silver City who broke away after decades of political infighting. They are calm by nature with similar features of those from the Silver City. They are ruled by a former member of the High intellects, Jacques. Whereas the Intellects and Pride have tens of thousands of citizens, there are only a few hundred of Nautics. Life is hard on the seas.
Enchanter is where the mysterious kingdom of the Enchanters reside. They haven’t made personal contact with any kingdom in over a century. They used to leave medicines and spices as peace offerings, but have gone silent since the start of the recession. They are feared as people believe they delve in dark magic.
