Think Game of Thrones’ Westeros and Essos, only every faction has its own dragon. Many of these nations and states are represented (and protected) by Dominants with the power to transform into Eikons. At the heart of Valisthea is the isle of the Crystalline Dominion, established around the world’s largest Mothercrystal. ![]() Eastward lies Waloed, with its military might the Dhalmekian Republic, a fierce political power and the Iron Kingdom, an island nation where Dominants, humans who embody Eikons, are viewed as unholy. ![]() To the west lies Storm, home to the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, Clive Rosfield’s home, and the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, a theocracy.
