Trizia

The Endless Kingdoms of Trizia is an imperial monarchy stretch from the Merlieu Peninsula to the Austien Mountains. Wide expanses of wheat fields in the Trizian basin form the backbone of the kingdoms' economy and way of life. Trizia is the dominant regional power due to bountiful harvests, high population, stable government, and claimed authority from the Merian Empire.

Government
Trizia functions on the feudal contract between landholding lords. King Cyricus Alren relies on vassals to collect taxes and levies to support the Endless Kingdoms. This results in a high level of political intrigue and carousing, in order to manipulate potential enemies and partners into complying.

Although Trizia claims to be the inheritor of the Merian Crown, their government does not reflect the centralized state that the Merian Empire functioned under. This has resulted in the common saying among academics, "Meria was single empire, Trizia is a thousand counties." Depending on who is asked, that is either an insult or a compliment.

The crown of Trizia is inherited by the monarch's first born child, male or female. In the case of distrubances, this will go down the line of eligible children, then go to the monarch's siblings, then the monarch's father's siblings.

Politically, Trizia has been fractious in the modern era. The many kingdoms have felt threatened by the expanding Econqunian Empire and the spread of Nymatism. Due to this, factions of independents and reformers have cropped up across the kingdoms. These rulers have been placing strict laws on their lands against outsiders, leaving their lands homogeneous, but bloodied.

Plagia
A coastal kingdom dependent upon fishing communities and trade with the Merlieu Peninsula. Acquiring Plagia was important for Trizia to establish its hegemony in the Austein Mountains.

Plagia has a long history of being an important economic hold for realms. The Merian Empire utilized the rich coastal communities to fund their increasingly expanding lands.

Now, Plagia is held by King Hrodbert, whose house has held the title for four generations. Hrodbert has been using his rule to create warrior lodges, and try to bring Plagia from just being a source of income, to being a warrior kingdom of its own.

Galetia
A mountainous region of Trizia that serves as the home of many of the knights of the realm. Galetia was the first kingdom created underneath the High Kingdom of Trizia. These lands have few grain farms, but are known for being the source of many of Trizia's soldiers.

Galetia is currently held by High King Cyricus, whose mother's house were the original owners of the kingdom for ten generations. It was the machinations of High King Cyricus' grandfather who was able to bring Galetia under the direct rule of Cyricus through political marriages. Now, High King Cyricus weilds significant power.

Tagnia
Tagnia runs along the ridge of the southern tail of the Austein Mountains. This kingdom has served as the border lands between Trizia and the the southern plains. Because of this, Tagnia has been the home to many soldiers and their retired families.

This kingdom is held by King Berno, a knight who served within High King Cyricus' military. Due to Berno's accomplishments on the battlefield during a recent war with the Kjur Horde, he was gifted the title of King of Tagnia by High King Cyricus, who was pressured to give up the second regal title he had obtained.

Domainia
The breadbasket of Trizia, Domainia is important to keeping the people of Trizia fed. Domainia is often the target of enemies when at war, resulting in many small forts being built throughout the wide, flat basin.

King Fulrad rules Domainia as a dutiful ruler. Fulrad is held up as a champion of the people due to his peasant friendly practices. The levy and taxes in this region are low, but the communities knitted together closely, resulting in a culture of obligation.

Ebria
A small, but rich kingdom in the south of Trizia. Ebria has a history of being conquered by various kingdoms, but now Trizia has held the kingdom for a hundred years. Although the people of Ebria view Trizia favorably, they consider themselves Ebrians before Trizians.

Ebria is held by Queen Rotlenda, whose family retained rule of the kingdom when it was conquered by Trizia. Now, Rotlenda faces adversity due to her gender, but the royal laws of Ebria allow female rulership unlike the rest of Trizia.

West Liseria
Along with East Liseria, the most recent acquisition by Trizia. West Liseria was split from the east due to what some call a commercial decision and other call a political one. Either way, West Liseria is a populous region of the Trizia due to the established cities and fertile plains.

East Liseria is held by the King Suidbert, a cousin of High King Cyricus. A rivalry between the two has led the region to being built up for war. Whether that war is against Trizia or for it has yet to be seen.

East Liseria
East Liseria is a place of plains and wetlands. Although not a particularly rich kingdom, East Liseria is the most diverse lands within Trizia. This has lead it to being thought of as the exotic place to be in the kingdom, which is good to some Trizians and bad to others.

King Sunno Rules East Liseria from his Green Castle on its southern edge. Sunno has stood guard at the borders of Trizia, fearful that he will be the king that lost Trizia.
