Betaku

The Betaku Kingdom is an absolute Monarchy where the smallest number of magical arts are forbidden. Sorcerers and sorceresses of all ages and nationalities take advantage of the fewer limits in order to learn spells normally off-limits for them. The downside to the added individual prowess in spell casting is that some of those same spells have nasty side effects, including, but not limited to, prolonged sickness, increased blood loss, uncontrolled blasts, etc. There are times when the spells people here cast can get out of hand quickly.

The politics are simple enough: what the King and Queen say goes. Currently, the two Monarchs are adopting a "wait and see" approach to the situation between Metargo, Mysticara, and Benjlakk. Their military is filled with powerful spell castors that give an edge in combat, though The Betaku royal family is not about to fight anyone without knowing what they are up against, and what lengths either side is willing to go to achieve victory. If Benjlakk's neutrality is violated (which it will be), then it would be a clear sign that the nations who violate it could use the same extreme measures on Betaku, as well, meaning if Benjlakk were to go to war (which they will), that nation would be the only plausible ally for them.
