Someron

Overview: Someron is a nation set deep in the primeval forests of the southeast. The nation is divided into 7 sections. One is overseen directly by the king and other others are ruled over by feudal lords. The status of lord can only be achieved via the manifestation of sorcerous talent, so the king and each of the lords are powerful sorcerers in their own right.

Life in Someron is less than ideal for most. For the Sorcerers and their retainers, life is fairly comfortable if not lavish. However, the majority of the population doesn't exactly prosper under their rule, subject to the mercurial whims of their rulers and the fallout of constant infighting between the lesser lords.

The protracted war with Dralia also isn't particularly helpful, as most every family has lost at least one member to conscription and eventual death on the war-torn battlefield of the Scar of Wrath.

Laws and Regulations: Each feudal lord is allowed to set the laws of their own territories, so long as none of those laws contradict with a law laid down by the king. This helps keep common people compartmentalized since straying into other territories risks the violation of some esoteric local law written and enforced solely to drive conscripts into the various armies of the nobility.
