The Five Countries are a political alliance among Dabion, Karrim, Mandera, Cassile, and Azassi. Dabion is the center of law and government and presides over the other countries.
Also on the continent are the countries Biora, Sor'rai, and Siva. These countries have markedly different cultures and are isolated from the Five Countries by geographic features, and so they are not included in the policial alliance of the Five Countries.
Northeast of the continent is the large island Marlind. On another continent to the south is the country of Ikinda.
Dates are noted according to the Common Calendar, which was established in the Five Countries when Bioran scholars made contact in 200 C.C.
