Kingdom of Andora
The Kingdom of Andora is one of the largest and most powerful Kingdoms in Sylvaris. Ruled by King Einar and Queen Adora, the Kingdom has prospered through hard work, a diverse population, benevolent rulers, and a strong military.
Empire of Cyngar
The Empire of Cyngar is a large empire to the east of Andora and is composed primarily of Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings. They are an Empire of steam and innovation. As a people, they pride themselves on being stalwart, inventive, and loyal.

The Empire of Cyngar is ruled by a Council of Three: The Lord of Innovation, the Lord of Supply, and the Lord of Protection. Each Lord on the Council of Three is tasked with a singular duty throughout the Empire.

As such, they founded a senate of mages, a body of political governance that comprises any land-owning mage within the borders of Thuld. All members of the senate are equal in the sense that they each hold one vote, but the less powerful lords are often coerced to vote in favor of one of the more powerful lords.
