See Nicaram Republic
The government centered around Eythallium.
Parlimentary system with a representational Senate and a Chamber of Lords. Their Chief of State is the Chancellor.
The Nicaram Republic stretches from the Green Canyon in the north, down through the Nicaram Veldt, and into the Southern Marches.
They are one of the most advanced nations on At-Breith, both technologically and magically. After the signing of the Emberfall Treaty ended the Arcana War, there have been rumblings about admitting the Porrem Federation into the Republic.
A loose coalition of city-states in the Porrem Desert.
Each of the five city-state has some variation on a representative body, and they each send a delegation of five representatives to the Federation Council. Their Chief of State is known as the Sand Speaker.
The Porrem Federation covers the entire Porrem Desert, which fills the space between the Crater Mountains and the Aurum Mountains.
Despite their desert environment, the Federation boosts a strong magical tradition in their Magisters. They are also more or less the primary seat of the Sanctum Sightless. One of their city-states, Kor'sel, has an almost entirely gnomish population and is the largest population of gnomes on Torradell since the gnomes and roken departed en mass for Ascorea.

Mistreach Academy is the finest magical institution on Torradell, possibly on all of At-Breith, at least so long as the Sidhe Realms remain closed to the mortal races.
The Academy has stood for a millenia and has consistently produced incredibly talented and skilled mages, many of whom have had a hand in monumentus events in the world.
Currently, the school is overseen by Headmistress Callidae Nevee.
The Sanctum Sightless is the religious organization centered around the worship and teachings of the Blind One.
It was founded roughly 800 years ago when the first Blind Reader successfully completed a Century Question.
The Sanctum is the dominant faith in both the Republic and the Federation.

The Knights of Tomorrow is the cult founded by Tanis Vandale. They successfully manipulated the Republic and the Federation into war against each other. The Arcana War came to end when Damian Maist and a team he put together from both sides of the war assaulted the cult's main base. Damian personally dueled Tanis in what eye witnesses have reported as one of the most impressive mystical combats ever seen.
With the fall and execution of Tanis, the war was ended with the Emberfall Treaty, which also declared the Knights of Tomorrow an outlawed organization. By all accounts, the remaining cultists scattered after Tanis' defeat, though there have been rumors of people in blue robes and golden masks, the typical garb of the cult.
