• Holy Human Empire

The Holy Human Empire is an absolute monarchy and colonial empire that occupies the entire Centaropolas region in central Pandortia. It can also be seen as the mechanized civilization of the continent. While nobles own land, they have no administrative power; they are honorary positions whose private armies have been abolished. Instead, the power structure consists of new nobles who have expanded their influence through specific government posts, wealthy bourgeois centered on commerce and industry, and the gentry who own vast tracts of land. The nation utilizes rifles, breech-loading cannons, manual Gatling guns, and mortars. As a nation that has already undergone an industrial revolution centered on 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 provided by the grasslands. Despite being a colonial empire, it does not discriminate against its colonies; rather, it grants them autonomy, establishes local councils, and provides rights nearly equal to the mainland. It has effectively bound the colonies and the mainland into a single federation. Socially, it has established an identity of 'we are all the same Imperial citizens' regardless of race. Currently, the Empire is flourishing and stable.

• Great Elf Tribe

A great tribe formed by the union of elf tribes in the dense forests of Elfrant, who were wary and fearful of foreign powers. They united to protect their autonomy, the forests of Elfrant, and the spirits. While elves are not lacking in intellectual capacity, their inherent wariness has led to backward technology. However, because the elven race is naturally proficient in mana, their military strength is by no means weak. Every soldier of the Great Elf Tribe can handle mana, allowing them to perform both melee and ranged attacks regardless of the weapon. Consequently, there are no fixed regulations or standards, making them essentially a motley crew using various weapons, but the problem is that this motley crew handles mana with extreme skill.

• Duchy Union of Northland

A federal state established by the union of duchies located in Northland. Beastmen and dwarves are the primary races forming the union. The beastmen were the original indigenous people, while the dwarves were pioneers who arrived after discovering underground resources in the snowy mountains. After cycles of mutual wariness and conflict, they realized that endless killing only led to exhaustion. Pressed by the isolation of being surrounded by the Great Elf Tribe to their side, magical beasts from Danzglance to the north, and a hegemonic power below them, they signed a truce and peace treaty. They began calling themselves Dukes and established their own Duchies. This began as an alliance of duchies for their own safety, which then evolved into a Union, eventually giving birth to the Duchy Union of Northland. The leader of the union is the Grand Duke of the Union, 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, be executed. Due to the mountainous terrain of the snowy peaks, the union's military has seen little development in cavalry. Instead, they have developed archers capable of striking enemies from any distance or elevation, and heavily armored infantry to firmly protect those archers.

• Sultanate of Osernia

An Islamic nation located in Oarsis. A relatively new nation, it developed with cities built around oases containing purification stones. It is characterized by powerful Mamluk cavalry led by the Sultan. Since it sits on trade routes to 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 urgent need of money, those with nowhere to return to, or those who simply find the lifestyle fitting—they take on requests and receive payment upon completion. However, the Adventurer League is specifically focused on clearing the phenomenon known as Dungeons that occurs 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 or griffins.
