• Holy Human Empire

The Holy Human Empire is an absolute monarchy and colonial empire occupying all of Centaropolas in central Pandortia. It can be seen as the mechanized civilization of the continent. Nobles hold estates but no administrative power, serving in honorary positions after private armies were abolished. Instead, power is held by new nobles who occupy specific government offices, wealthy bourgeois centered on commerce and industry, and gentry who own land. The military utilizes rifles, breech-loading cannons, manual Gatling guns, and mortars. As a nation that has already undergone an industrial revolution centered on commerce, it is filled with factories, boasts overwhelming production, and is covered in railways. It dominates the continental economy by leveraging 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 them into a single federation. Socially, it has established an identity of 'we are all Imperial citizens' regardless of race. The Empire is currently flourishing and stable.

• Great Elf Tribe

A grand union formed by elven tribes in the dense forests of Elfrant to guard against foreign powers and protect their autonomy, the forests, and the spirits. While elves are not lacking in intelligence, their extreme wariness has led to backward technology. However, because elves are naturally gifted with mana, their military strength is by no means weak. Every soldier of the Great Elf Tribe can handle mana, allowing for melee and ranged attacks regardless of the weapon used. Consequently, there are no fixed regulations or standards, making them essentially a ragtag militia using miscellaneous weapons, but the problem for their enemies is that this militia handles mana with extreme proficiency.

• United Duchies of Nosland

A federal state formed by the union of duchies located in Nosland. Beastmen and dwarves are the primary races of the union. Beastmen were the original indigenous people, while dwarves were pioneers who arrived to excavate the underground resources of the snowy mountains. After cycles of mutual suspicion and conflict, they realized that endless killing only led to exhaustion. Pressed by the isolation of being surrounded by the wary Great Elf Tribe, the magical beasts of Danzglance, and the hegemonic power to the south, they signed a truce and peace treaty. They styled themselves as Dukes and established their own Duchies. This began as an alliance for safety but evolved into a Union, eventually giving birth to the United Duchies of Nosland. The leader of the union is the Grand Duke, elected and appointed by a council of Dukes. While the Grand Duke has more authority than other Dukes, they can still be dismissed by the council or, in extreme cases, executed.

• Sultanate of Osernia

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

• Adventurer League

Most adventurers are wanderers—people in need of money, those with nowhere to return to, or those who simply find the lifestyle fitting. They receive and fulfill requests for payment. However, the Adventurer League focuses primarily on clearing the Dungeon phenomenon occurring in Danzglance. Dungeons are phenomena unique to Danzglance, appearing as portals or caves. Inside are magical beasts and monsters, including high-level creatures like dragons and griffins.
