Ainor
From Storing Don
The kingdom of Ainor, established by one of the Eight Generals, James von Reichter, is situated on what used to be the plains of Sacae, and produces the swiftest and strongest horsemen on the continent. The Ainori are known for their bravery, chivalry, and loyalty. The country also follows the faith of St. Elimine, and the church's presence is great here. The king rules by divine right, and his people put great faith in him, knowing that he, and their many gods, including their chief god, Aodeyn, watch over them.

[edit] Ainori Political Factions
The Left Hand of Light: A left-wing group devoted to spreading goodwill. They are growing less popular now in times of war, as they advocate peace above all – even when it comes to Illyria. 10% of the population currently belongs to this party. Aodeyn’s Faithful: A right-wing party that are dissatisfied with Meinhard’s grandfatherly, “soft” rule, and wish for more aggressive action against the sinful continent. 20% of the population belongs to this party.
Royalists: Those devoted to Meinhard’s rule, believing in the Divine Right of the Monarchy. They are moderately centered, with leanings towards the right. They desire peace, but are willing to war for it. Aodeyn’s will is above all. This party constitutes about 60% of Ainor’s population.
The following parties together make up the remaining 10% of Ainor’s population.
Brotherhood of Counties: A severe right-wing faction that would like to see all of Maris conquered by Ainor’s iron fist – under the guidance of their own leaders, not King Meinhard, or any king of Ainor.
The Hunted: A small group of renegades, one of the only two groups of people living in Ainor to practice the Elder Magic. They are generally considered harmless, yet are persecuted for their use of evil.
The Imperium: A small selection of corrupt clergy that wish to wrest control from the Monarchy, though they support Meinhard’s decisions and policies.
Absolute Nation: Anarchists who secretly wield Dark magic. They seek to topple Ainor completely, with Illyria as a model.
