Same here.

Seeing as that is years and years of stuff I really need you to be more specific. But for now lets start with the kingdoms of men.

Through out the world of domov (The Mannish name for the entire world) lie many races all are unique in their languages, customs, and how they practice and use magic.

Men
Men are by the most populous species upon the world of Domov. They live within all corners of the world (Save Juthu) although at one time mere savages in the eyes of the older race Men have risen to prominence through sheer will power and their unique ability to master all five of the magic paths. They are split between two main ethnic groups, North and South men.

The Main Kingdoms of North men are as follows:

Empire of Hessen:

By far the largest of the kingdoms of North men stretching from the Coasts of the saphir sea to the coasts of the Rubin sea. The Land is ruled over by an elected emperor (Elected by a council of nobles called the Imperial Directive) The land on paper is united by a system of royal princes and Barons ruling over large and small Fiefs but in reality the system can be prone to civil strife only a strong emperor can keep this unruly nation of hundreds of different people groups united.

Imperial Armies are known to be some of the most organized and well managed troops within the world. Although not the best fighters nor the best armed they can stand their own in a fight against most opponents.

Kingdom of Austuria:

Hessen's main Rival and also one of it's most important allies. Austuria is built around the coast of the Rubin sea and the Ural mountains. It relies upon the trade from the sea and from the South lands. Austuria is a land ruled over by a King and is divided into 4 fiefdoms ruled over by a prince (Fiefdoms are as follows: Reik, Valoria, Upper Vanen, and Lower Vanen) Austuria is built around chivalry and knightly honor.

The armies of Austuria are to most well equipped and rather ornate but in reality they are disorganized mobs of infantry under the four princes. The one good things is Austuria's undisputed Knights

Kingdom of Frankia:

Frankia the land of the franks and a land of constant war and threat of invasion from it's neighbors (Hessen and Austuria). Frankia would have fallen long ago if it was not for three things; Their proficiency with the longbow, The Throwing axe Francisca (Which they take their name), and the natural barriers of mountain and dense forest that serve as natural walls leading into choked passages.

Principality of Brenton:

A large area of land that was once part of Lower Vanen lead by the noble prince Ygluv Vitr lead a rebellion against Austuria he was able to succeed large amounts of Vanen into his principality. The Brenton are masters of spear and pike the very spear and pike formations are the bane of Austurian knights and their present infantry.

The Main Kingdoms of the South men:

Sultanate of Ashur:

Upon the eastern coast of Rubin lies the Sultanate a land of 7 caliphs united by the Sultan ruling from Azdubad. This land is built upon the trade with the far off Xin (Or cathari as it is known in the north) and Lustiria. Many fine goods come from this land including an assortment of magical items like lamps (Containers of guardian spirits), flying rugs, and stone lions (Guard lions summoned by geomancy.)

Rustv:

A land of rolling plains, to fertile valleys, to frozen wastes. Rustv (Translating to Land of the Rus) is the largest manish kingdom by far ruled over by a Tzar or Trarina and the help of nobles such Boyars. Rustv for the most part is a rather harsh land compared to the North with long harsh winters and hot but short summers. It is split up between 12 grand principalities and hundreds of fiefdoms ruled by richer Boyars.

Rustv boast a large and uncountable army of expendable peasants backed up by heavy noble cavalry.

Nomadic Kingdom of Kasak:

Kasak in most accounts is not counted among true kingdoms seeing as the people are nomadic and the ruling Khan rarely has any sway over the tribes. For the most part Kasak is a land of harsh plains for desert on the border of Rustv and the great desert. The people are famed horse archers and valuable mercenaries within the Rustvian army.
