The kingdom of the Harnic Khuzdul is centered on the city of Azadmere but includes most of the mountains surrounding Lake Arain.
Chybisa is Harn's smallest state, a tiny kingdom on the south bank of the Ulmerien River ruled by King Verlid VII from Burzyn. The kingdom was founded in 160 by a mixed group of immigrants from Melderyn, led by a supposed knight called Shobald.
Located in the eastern interior of Harn, Kaldor is a feudal realm ruled by King Miginath from his royal castle in the city of Tashal. Founded more than five centuries ago (188), external threats to Kaldor have been minimal, but internal strife has been common, notably the Kaldoric Civil War (362-377) and Baronial Revolt (599 -603). Both conflicts were the result of a tendency for kings to draw too much power into their own hands at the expense of the barons. The most recent dynasty, the Elendsas, was founded in 603 and has encouraged a return to traditional principles of feudalism and chivalry while maintaining a tradition of royal justice.
A feudal kingdom in southwestern Harn. Founded in 589 after the collapse of the despotic Theocracy of Tekhos, Kanday is ruled by King Andasin IV from his seat at Dyrisa. The city of Aleath, a chartered freetown, is the largest settlement.
Primarily an island kingdom off the southeast coast of Harn, not much is known about Melderyn other than it is an agrarian society.
A pre-feudal state in northeast Harn ruled by King Alegar II from Geldeheim. The region was formerly called Jara until the Kingdom of Orbaal was proclaimed in 686 after the Ivinian conquest of the indigenous Jarin. It is a very unstable realm, where less than 8,000 rowdy and ungovernable Ivinians have subjugated about 65,000 rebellious Jarin. Orbaal is really a host of semi-independent squabbling clan domains, the smaller of which owe tribute to more powerful clans who, in turn, owe it to the king in Geldeheim. Some call the larger domains kingdoms and the king at Geldeheim an overking or pendragon, but the Orbaalese are not as formal about titles as the rest of Harn.
A feudal kingdom in western Harn, Rethem was founded in 635 by Arlun the Barbarian and is now ruled by King Chafin III from his seat in Shostim. Rethem has a violent history and is Harn’s most unstable, treacherous, and dangerous state. Only lip service is paid to the institutions of fealty and honor, for Rethemi politics are a maelstrom of intrigue and assassination.
A region of dense mixed forest on the coast of south-central Harn. The Shava Highlands make up the northern third. The forest is said to be enchanted. Few humans have any real knowledge of its geography or inhabitants.
A plutocratic state, unofficially called just Tharda, misgoverned by a republican senate from the city of Coranan. The republic was founded in 674, having evolved from the Thardic League. Although not a feudal state, the Thardic Senate is controlled by 66 wealthy patrician families who own 90 percent of the land. The capital city of Coranan is Harn’s largest city in the West.
Thay is a walled freetown at the mouth of the Horka River governed by a lord mayor and council of 10 aldermen. The town was founded in 573 by refugees from Aleath fleeing the Theocracy of Tekhos in western Harn. The town has grown to become the largest settlement in Eastern Harn and the primary Trading hub for incoming products from Lythia.
The attempted Rape of Thay by Ivinian raiders from Orbaal in 705 just failed to breach the city's defenses. In 707, a larger viking force would almost certainly have succeeded, but was destroyed when a freak storm wrecked the fleet on nearby Renda Rocks.
