Allow me to provide a semi-unbiased account of the realms of Beluaterra. First off, something to note; there's a big division between South Beluaterra (Enweil and Riombara) and North Beluaterra. It's at least a weeks journey between the two, so aside from letters, there's very little contact between the two.
Enweil is a democracy and presently the worst off realm on the continent; they have the fewest nobles and are without a capital after losing their only city. One of the founding realms of BT, they've been fighting with Riombara for longer than anyone can remember with periodic truces to regroup or fight invaders. Chenier is running the show at the moment.
Fronen is a republic that hasn't done terribly well this invasion; lost one city and most of their regions are covered by dark clouds (which reduce stats). Been having activity problems recently, so there might be opportunites for advancement (or alternatively, it might just be quiet). Headed up by Geronus. Probably the most religiously mixed realm, they've got elements from the Golden Feather, Bloodspeakers and Estahsism
Melhed is a republic renown for taking a very, very long time to decide anything, although they've been better recently. Rarely fights other human states, but they've been one of the major participants in the present fight against the Daimons. Home to the Bloodspeaker religion.
Nothoi is a democracy and the baby of BT. Lost their capital earlier in the invasion, but got given a new one by Fronen. Potential to expand, as they have a fair few empty regions around them. Mostly follows Estahsism, might be some Bloodspeakers.
Old Grehk is a monarchy thats had one of its cities blighted, but is otherwise fairly well off. Along with Melhed and Thalmarkin, they've done most of the heavy lifting this invasion. The Church of Humanity, Daishi and Order of the Golden Feather are all established there. Also home to the greatest living Beluaterran, Askarn Iltaran (I kid).
Sint is the lone theocracy on BT, they sided with the daimons four or five years ago and are struggling to live it down. Started off well enough, but hasn't performed well in the latter half of the invasion. Still with three cities and plenty of room to expand, they have a bright future. Hemaism is the state religion.
Thalmarkin is a monarchy and has been the hero of this invasion. Overlord, Darkest Hour of the North and Darkest Hour of the West were all killed attacking their capital. Presently rather battered, but have room to expand. Mostly Order of the Golden Feather, with some Daishi. Noldorin is King.
