So let's talk politics.
The year is 3528 C.E.
Dessor
The southern parts of Dessor is controlled by the Empire of Dessor, which was established near the turn of the millennium in 2953. It is ruled by Emperor Pelion Loenthil of the Loenthil Dynasty, he shares power with the Senate, a conclave of (mostly Niessen) nobles. It wasn't until the 3200s that the Duuthesh began to appear in ever higher ranks of the Empire as its legions pushed further north and found federates among outlying Duuthesh enclaves.
It's not quite an Empire if one were to compare it to the domains held by the Sindrelei Kingdom at its height under High King Calnissel prior to its breakup. However, the Empire's political reach is nothing to be snide about, and its military is among one of the better trained, paid, and equipped. It is not the first human empire, and perhaps certainly not the last to be recorded in the history texts of Dessor.
However, slightly further north are a number of maritime city-states or city-kingdoms that have sought to remain independent of the Empire. Their prosperity, they believe, came from their extensive overseas trade networks with the cities of Syakh, not the aid or dominion of the Empire. They are content to have things remain the way they have been. The repeated aggressions of the Empire in the early 3510s prompted the establishment of alliance between the various cities that became known as the Northern Coalition.
To the west is what is known as Daellean, or the Elven Realm.
Within Daellean is a massive forestland, fitting for the tree lovers. It has long closed itself off from outsiders, with the exception of officials from other nations.
To outsiders there is a united front among the Sindrelei, Tlamani, and what few Duuthesh that still choose to remain within Daellean. However, within the Elven Realm are boundaries that mark off the realms of the Tlamani and the Sindrelei. When the dark elf prince Dahlkani Therithil split from his brothers, he led most of his followers out of Daellean to establish their own realm. What few remain, dwell within the domains of their elf brethren almost as second class citizens. It is often hard to tell where an Elven city ends, and the forest begins.
The Sindrelei Kingdom once dominated what is now known as Daellean, the Empire, the lands of the Coalition, and significantly more. Of course, the Sindrelei have since retreated, leaving behind various populations that chose to remain instead of retreat. However, unlike their Tlamani brethren, they remain nonetheless politically informed with the daily changes that undergo within the Empire.
The Sindrelei hail from a number of domains, but the largest of which are as follows.
Flyfendel ruled by King Oyenthius and his line.
Sidya ruled by Princess Fylena.
The Kalas Forests ruled by Lady Simrica.
Alheras ruled by Lord Ashoriel.
Together, the various Sindrelei realms form the Council of Flyfendel.
The Tlamani hail from one of three domains, the realm of Kes, ruled by Prince Thalasor. The second is the Nevreas Forests of Lord Neminel, and the third is the secluded forest heartland of Yhavann protected by Lord Ciranthas.
