Gill is also a dictatorship and practices the caste system.

South of the Endau River is a vast network of towns cities and metropolis.

Those who are found guilty of crimes, POW’s and enemies of the state are force to work in these mountains.

Zatoren - (pop. 16,500,500) was seized by gill in 601, right as the beginning of the War of Ages; its invasion lasted only 7 weeks in which the country was complexly overrun. It was contested territory until 623 when Gill finally forced out the Republic. Most of its population was slaughter and the men forced into slavery, its women were forced to produce children for the growing need for troops. It also has a sufficient amount of land for agriculture which supports half of the Empire.

The Republic of Athaos (standing army 81 mil) The Republic contains the territories of Xenotea, Pellapinen, Cytlin, Lillpenapo, Asraltin, Mulkul. Although it is entangled and some time oversees affairs with in States of Neutrality, it how ever does not control them. The Republic has long sought true democracy and since the War of Ages has grow closer to abandoning the rule of kings and courts

Asraltin ( pop. 19,349,000) is known as the bread basket of the world, it ships its goods all over the known world. It also shares a border with the Gill Empire on the Mersing River. Asraltin is one of the biggest producers of soldiers and clerics aside from Cytlin
• EastBourne- capitol; this city is considered modern, built in 723.


Cytlin (pop. 115,710,000) the heart of the Republic, The High Court rests here, as well as lights beacon the heart of the Church, Cytlin is also the birth place of modern thinking and has the 2nd highest population. The Kings Wall stands a 100ft and in some places 120ft, it spasms the whole length of the country in which it protects its northern borders from Gill.

Xenotea – (pop. 12,530,000) is a swampy region with a few areas of plains which cites has been built, most of its people leave in the cities which are located on the coast. This region has long been a fishing and backwater bayou life. It also is known for its shipbuilding which provides the Republic its navy.

States of Neutrality
Contertin (pop. 16,221,000) is the 2nd largest land mass aside from Gilldanor, however his land mass is covered in sand; it is one of the harshest environments in Athoas. It has only one city which resides in the middle of the Deseret, most of its villages and small towns are located near Turtle Lake and alongside the two Rivers that run into Turtle Lake. It was the first to break from the Republic, the reasoning behind this was it did not believe in the advancement of democracy within it borders. In 566 it declared its own rule over its people, and a year later the War of standing started. Since then Broc and Thairirthin have joined in its protest; Broc joining in 722 and Thairirthin in 823.

Mersing River- is the River that divides Asraltin from Zatoren. The rivers width ranges from three hundred yards to over a mile, which sport violent rapids periodical. Before the War of Ages there was a bridge that crossed over from Ashhurt into Zatoren, since than this area has become rubble providing a consent battle ground
