Not just because of the invaders coming from other existential planes, but also because of the creatures that live in the realm. Uniting the different cultures of the races under the same loyalty is almost out of question. There are no kingdoms or cities but only small towns and villages scattered across the peninsula. Most of them survive on their own using the available resources nearby and also they trade their goods in exchange for non-existent or insufficient resources. But isn't there any authority at all? Of course there is! Whoever becomes more powerful has a saying over the others. There are some factions operating this way, that are accepted by the society.
While the lawful spell casters are united under the watch of Ash Seals, mighty knights and warriors of the Nocturnal Guardians help them keeping the order in the towns and villages. In the wilderness, wise hunters and druids of Amber Tree are keeping watch, hunting down the invaders before they approach to settlements. In the waters around the realm, sails the Nightmare Singers, the dreadful pirate crew that even the creatures in the deepest of the seas shiver when they hear their voices. And when the darkness falls, Blind Knot's bold assassins and spies leave their underground hideouts to face the dangers lurking in the shadows that no others can dare.
