Map of Southeast Asia from the perspective of Suhendran sailors

• Kingdom of Suhendra (/u/GammaRay_X) - Current kingdom of the Vüolt people, emerged as an absolute monarchy after a long civil war. They see themselves as storytellers and soldiers of faith, with great works including the Epic of Suhendra (the story of the kingdom's namesake) and the Oracle of Sarawak.

• Princedom of Ayamerah (/u/WiseguyD) - A thassalocracy based out of its titular capital city, which may very well be the most frequented port in the world. Travel between Ayamerahn settlements and beyond is incredibly common, as seafaring and exploration are considered divine endeavors among its people.

• Tribes of Toetim (/u/mathfem) - A tribal people who inhabit the land of Tzigqug (Papua). Their men are farmers and their women are fishers, and they have grown to dominate even the highlanders who originally pioneered agriculture on Tzigqug.

• Mansions of Akthijah (/u/FZVIC) - A tribal confederation of religiously united people. Many of the Akthijah spend their time fighting each other, or smoking local herbs that stimulate their senses, making the local produce quite popular among the region.

• Dvaravati Kingdom - A kingdom formed around the moated city of Nakhon Pathom, the Dvaravati are a war-focused people whose singular goal of expansion has made them plenty of enemies, but also made them very rich. They are often stymied by their own people, however, who take advantage of the relative lack of control far from Nakhon Pathom to declare their own states within Dvaravati territory.

• Kingdom of Aceh - Thanks to their immense supply of copper and gold, this relatively new kingdom rose to challenge Ayamerah for dominance over Sumatra. Fortunately for Ayamerah, Aceh is famous for its frequent internal squabbles.

• Kingdom of Java - Territoriality small but densely populated, the Kingdom of Java is said to produce more food than Suhendra and Ayamerah combined. They grow rich off of this by trading the food that will last, mostly rice, and charging traders who use its large ports for rest on their journeys.

• Luzon Kingdom - Also called the "Golden Kingdom", Luzon is known to be a major source of gold and silver. They trade through their massive capital of Maynilà and leverage their wealth into a large standing defensive army and navy.

• Kingdom of Davao - Centered around the city of the same name, the Kingdom of Davao emerged after almost a century of bloody conflict between large tribes in the area. Rich in resources and food, the Kingdom is primarily hampered by their lack of a main, usable harbor from which to field a navy, leaving them relatively locked to their island.

• Three Kingdoms of Sulawesi - The island of Sulawesi has long been divided, and so it is that three Kingdoms emerged from a bloody, conflict-filled history. Each lays claim to rule over the other, and are frequently at war with one another to assert these claims, only to be stopped when they near victory and the third intervenes to prevent one of the three from gaining too strong a position.

• Cambodian Tribes - The tribes of the north are known for their hostile attitude towards all explorers and travelers. It is said that the tribes are cannibals who punish any for entering their jungles, there has been reports of them even raiding Akthijah villages for meat.

• Lands of the Wild People - Little is known about these people who live deep in the jungles north of Ayamerah, who seem to resist any attempt to bring them out of their forested homes or tribal ways. They are often known to attack travelers trying to make their way through the jungle, leaving most to use the much safer sea routes around them.

• Isle of the Nias - These tribal warriors, despite their lack of organization, have been partially responsible for many of the advances in military technology now utilized across Southeast Asia. They are one of Ayamerah's closest allies.

• Tribes of the Madya-as - This group of tribes, all believing they trace back to a common ancestor, are scattered among the islands between the kingdoms of Luzon and Davao. They sometimes fight among each other, but mostly are content to stay within their clans and tribes, fishing and living simple lives.

• Cult of Ponderet - A Cult of people pushing against the increased civilization and centralized governance of the Kingdom of Suhendra, the Cult of Ponderet live in an anarchist society, believing primarily in the idea of "might makes right" and abhorring any sort of judicial system or government. To this end, they worship Ponderet - the Goddess of Chaos in the Suhendran pantheon, a Goddess who is believed to have twice tried to destroy humanity, and for this reason the Cult is hunted viciously by those in Suhendra.

• Islands of the Man-Eaters - Little is known about these islands, because all that venture there never return. It is said that those who live here exist in cannibalistic societies, who cook and eat travelers and traders that they capture and fatten up like livestock.
