	3) [[Berana]], along the eastern coast. Its ruler, King Olanson, has spent nearly 50 years expanding his territory. Although too old to seriously fight personally anymore, he still generals his kingdom's battles, and his large clan of children can handle the fighting. Has the strongest navy in the Mainland zones. Not clear how well it will hold together if Olanson dies.		3) [[Berana]], along the eastern coast. Its ruler, [[King Olanson]], has spent nearly 50 years expanding his territory.

	4) [[Darstan]], in the center. Founded about 20 years ago with the marriage of [[Baron Volstak]] and [[Duchess Zerbina]], the two have formed a formidable team. [[Zerbina]] leads the army to conquer a new barony or duchy every year or so, and Volstak is a master of incorporating them into a united country once the conquest is complete. They still use Baron and Duchess as their titles, but their daughter is Princess Bella, and they are a kingdom in all but name.		4) [[Darstan]], in the center.

	The Blue Zone has been ruled by Blue Mages from time immemorial, long before the Archipelago became a single island in the War of the Lord and the Lady. Although there was a significant upheaval with that change, as governance shifted from each Mage having their own island to a more communal rule-by-committee, it has long since settled down, and Challenge Duels between the Mages to settle points of ownership or control have been limited to one or two a year for centuries. Melmane is the only one of the Surface Lands to have any regular interactions with the Merfolk Kingdoms, and assists them in their eternal war with the [[Slith]]. The Saurian military encampment on Melmane that also assists in that war is basically its own city, with limited interaction with the rest of the island, and the Mages rarely intrude there, where the power of Magic is limited.

	The lands of the Elves, in the south-west of the mainland. It has been divided into three Kingdoms, the Forest, the Plains, and the Mountains, since the War of the Lord and the Lady (the last comet), and the grudges between its rulers are said to go back even farther. The three Kingdoms hardly ever actually go to war, but they are not friends. The King of the Forest is a High Elf, Their Majesty of the Plains is a sluagh, and The Queen Under the Mountains is a dwarf. The Queen is the nominal ruler of Kern, the only major human city in Green, although she does not pay so much attention to it as it sits above the mountains.

	The south-eastern mainland zone, Orange is a region dominated by trade and commerce. Orange is divided into 50 or more city states each of relatively limited territory. Each city has a representative in the Merchant's Guild, which makes most of the decisions for the zone in an ongoing squabble of infighting and politics. Each city is theoretically the equal of every other, but in practice, one the three cities of [[Kor]], [[Rin'yan]], and [[Vani]] is generally responsible for any new initiative. The zone with the most internal racial tension, as the three major cities are all led by humans, and the ~~Saurians~~ tend to think they should have more say, being nearly half the population. Think Renaissance Italy, more or less.		The south-eastern mainland zone, Orange is a region dominated by trade and commerce.
