Spint - It has taken Spint many years to recover from the death of their Queen during mysterious circumstances at the end of the Thorgillian War. The war left a lasting mark on the political landscape of the country, as greedy dukes and counts vied for the throne in open courts and battlefields and backroom deals. At last, through the influence of neighbors Arayis and Hartgrove, nobleman Lord Luther Cerviax, son of the previous Vice Chairman of the Central Kingdom, took the throne for good. King Cerviax moved the capital to Durtik where his political allies can protect him from further hostile action by jealous rivals.

Lansin - Nortimer Yearsef was proclaimed King of Lansin on his 14th birthday in 423. As promised, Roman Stoop steps down as both Regent and High Priest of Pelor on the same day. Young Nortimer publicly excuses Stoop for his actions in the Thorgillian War 8 years ago, but the reputation of the Church of Pelor has already suffered greatly. Priest Verner of Arayis is named as High Priest but leaves the headquarters of the Church in Lansin, the last kingdom in the Central Kingdoms officially devoted to Pelor by the grace of King Yearsef.

Information on the ''new look'' Central Kingdom this week. The year is 456 CKC, and the political landscape has changed a bit. I'll try to provide a little common knowledge each day. Stay tuned.

Arayis - In the year 424, Ronsin Hoppe ascended to the throne of Arayis upon the death of his aged (and wildly popular) father, King Riktofen. Ronsin, an introvert by nature, has focused his attention on Arayis, eschewing the inter-kingdom politics for which his father was so famous. Although the people of Arayis have not suffered for their benevolent king's lack of worldliness, Arayis' sudden withdrawal from international politics left a political vacuum in the Central Kingdom.

Hermin - King Justin the Poor, grandson of Justin Treders, king prior to the Thorgillian Wars, now rules the mountain nation of Hermin. Though Hermin is still a poor nation, the future is bright. Their northern neighbor Ranaloy has invested much time over the past 2 decades to teach the citizens of Hermin the advanced mining techniques that have profited Ranaloy for so many years.
