Holy Human Empire

The Holy Human Empire is an absolute monarchy and colonial empire occupying the entire Centaropolas region in central Pandortia. It can also be seen as the mechanized civilization of Pandortia. The nobility holds land but no administrative power, serving in honorary positions after private armies were abolished. Instead, power is held by new nobles who occupy specific government posts, the wealthy bourgeoisie centered on commerce and industry, and the gentry who own vast lands. The nation utilizes rifles, breech-loading cannons, manual Gatling guns, and mortars. As the industrial revolution has already progressed around commerce and industry, factories are established, production is overwhelming, and railways are laid. Simultaneously, it dominates the continent's economy by utilizing the advantages of livestock and agriculture from the grasslands. Despite being a colonial empire, it does not discriminate against its colonies; rather, it grants them autonomy, establishes local parliaments, and provides rights nearly equal to the mainland, effectively binding the colonies and mainland into a single federation. Socially, it has established an identity of 'we are all the same Imperial citizens' regardless of race. The Empire is currently flourishing and stable.

Great Elf Tribes

A large union of elven tribes in the dense forests of Elfrant, formed to protect their autonomy, the forests of Elfrant, and the spirits out of wariness and fear of foreign powers. While the intellectual capacity of the elves is not low, their extreme caution has led to backward technology. However, since elves are naturally proficient in mana, their military strength is by no means weak. Every soldier of the Great Elf Tribes handles mana, allowing them to perform both melee and ranged attacks regardless of the weapon. Consequently, they have no fixed regulations or standards and use a variety of miscellaneous weapons, making them look like a ragtag bunch, but the problem is that these 'ragtag' soldiers are all skilled mana users.

Northland Ducal Union

A federal state formed by the union of duchies located in Northland. Beastmen and dwarves are the primary races forming the union. Beastmen were the original indigenous people, while dwarves were pioneers who arrived after discovering underground resources in the snowy mountains. These races, who used to repeat cycles of wariness and conflict, realized that endless killing only led to exhaustion. Pressed by the Great Elf Tribes' wariness, the monsters rising from Danzglance, and the presence of a hegemonic power below them, they signed a ceasefire and peace treaty. They began calling themselves Dukes and established their own Duchies. This was followed by an alliance of duchies for their safety, which eventually evolved into a Union, resulting in the birth of the Northland Ducal Union. The leader of the union is the Grand Duke, who is elected and appointed by a council of Dukes. However, while the Grand Duke's authority is stronger than that of other Dukes, they can still be dismissed by the Dukes or, in extreme cases, executed. Due to the mountainous terrain of the snowy mountains, cavalry has seen little development; instead, they have developed archers who can strike enemies from any distance or elevation, and heavily armed infantry to firmly protect those archers.

Osernia Sultanate

An Islamic state located in Oarsis. It is a relatively new nation, with cities built and developed around oases containing purifying stones. It is characterized by powerful Mamluk cavalry led by the Sultan. Since trade routes to other continents exist, the nation gained wealth through intermediary trade and the sale of slaves rather than exports. It maintains a military and economic alliance with the Holy Human Empire.

Adventurer League

Most adventurers are wanderers. The structure involves people in need of money, those with no place to return to, or those who are simply suited for the life of an adventurer, receiving and completing requests for pay. However, the Adventurer League is focused solely on clearing the phenomenon known as Dungeons occurring in Danzglance. Dungeons are a phenomenon unique to Danzglance, appearing only in the form of portals or caves. Inside are magical beasts and monsters, including top-tier creatures like dragons and griffins.
