The Thaentis is the second largest of the 10 Kingdoms and it was the last one to sign the Peace of Ages. Prior to the war it is known to have had a bloody history of conquest across the entire continent developing a vast endeavor of advancing the technology of war. This is perhaps why The Kraul was hesitant to make a deal with them for the use of his trees and wildlife. It is also know that The Kraul is most often seen in the woods near Thaentis.

Thaentis's realm from Tempest Hills in the west to the Bighy River to the east along the North Sea to the south and Badabun Spires in the north.

Politics

Politically the Kingdom is a prosperous monarchy with a royal family going back generations, all the way to the Peace of Ages. Legend has it that the King and Queen of the war stepped down rather than sign the peace, however some say that they did not step down but were forced into the Savage River after trying to break the peace so soon after its signing.

Security / Policing

The kingdom has a well developed force of the Kings Guard which act as a police force within the Kingdom, though they are known to be reliable there are stories of corruption within the ranks, especially at the middle-management level.
