+==RHAKHAAN==
+While this realm has declined in recent centuries, the Emperor of
+Rhakaan (Jerrin Arej Malvion Faslurin VII) remains ostensibly the most
+powerful person in all Jaiman. His Imperial Majesty is a mere 25 years old,
+yet has proved an adept diplomat and has managed to evade half a dozen
+assassination attempts.
+Jerrin knows enough about the helms to be very wary of their powers,
+yet he is under increasing pressure to act. With every turn of Orhan, Frelik
+draws closer, and his claims that Jerrin is not the true heir grow more
+strident.
+GM Note: Jerrin possesses a powerful scrying device. It is an
+Ilarsiri: one of 16 Access Orbs made by Tethior (see Part IX, section
+).
+There are many lords in the region; its city-states are fairly independent,
+yet remain part of the Empire. Subject fiefs, they agree to provide
+troops for defense of the realm in time of emergency, to pay taxes, etc. In
+return, the Emperor maintains the unity of the realm and keeps roads and
+borders safe. Some of the prominent states are Prevan, Noros, Lethys,
+Lathornia, Calthos, Sanaria, and Kaytha. Haalkitaine, home of the capital,is known as the Imperial Province.
+TRAVEL IN RHAKHAAN
+Rhakhaan has the most complete and well-maintained road system on
+Jaiman, with paved highways connecting the capitals of every fief, and
+road markers on each indicating leagues distance to Haalkitaine.
+SYMBOLS
+The symbol of Rhakhaan is the Phoenix and is portrayed as a red bird
+with wings spread, surrounded by a halo of yellow flames on a black
+background. Primary colors of the realm are red and black.
+==HAALKITAINE==
+Set in the western foothills of the Grey Mountains is Haalkitaine,
+ancient capital of this realm. While now smaller than Lethys, Haalkitaine
+has maintained its supremacy at times through sheer military superiority —
+and the reluctance of the Lethians to sever ties with their capital.
+Haalkitaine is a grim place for a number of reasons, the weather being
+among the leading factors. The sun rarely appears in this mountainous area,
+the weather instead tending towards overcast skies, with endless drizzling
+rain in the spring and fall, and snow through the winter. The summers are
+tolerable if short. The city’s architects did little to counter this depressing
+weather. Haalkitaine is constructed amost entirely of locally quarried
+granite. Sheer walls surround the inner city, situated strategically on a bluff
+overlooking the main highway. Within, her majestic if somber towers rise
+in a claustrophobic cluster, testament to the competing noble families.
+==LETHYS==
+Dominating the Nea Bay is the great seaport of Lethys, largest city in
+Rhakaan. About 20% of the Lethian population of about 50,000 is Elvish,
+mostly Wood-elven. Lethys has the largest harbor complex on Jaiman, and
+not surprisingly is the leading ship-builder.
+Lethys and Hallkitaine are as night and day in both mood and design.
+While Haalkitaine is a brooding citadel honeycombed with secret passages
+and court intrigues, Lethys is a bustling seaport, ruled by a flamboyant
+prince and a council of greedy (if unassuming) families. The emphasis is
+commerce, and silver will buy you in Lethys what you’d need breeding or
+blackmail to get in Haalkitaine.
+Lethys is not only a trading center, it is a renaissance city which owes
+much of its wealth to banking and astute business ventures by its powerful
+families. Many of these groups have ‘offices’ in cities all over Jaiman and Emer, lending money to other concerns and even governments. As a result
+they have grown rich on interest and trade.
+Prince Westley is an amazingly popular leader, considering his bloodlines
+(he is a distaff heir; worse, his father was an Elf); yet there were no
+other heirs when the last Prince died. Westley’s mother’s sister was
+married to the former Prince, and thus inherited the crown only through
+marriage. Unthinkable in Haalkitaine, yet hardly more than inconvenient
+here. While technically the final authority in Lethys, the Prince must
+answer to his Council, a body of nine men and women who are the heads
+of the city’s economically powerful merchant families. There are also the
+city guild to reckon with and include Shipwrights, Metalsmiths,
+Stonewrights, Clothwrights, Seamerchants, Landmerchants, the Allied
+Cults (all recognized churches), the Uscurac Orders (users of Essænce),
+Scribes, Artisans, and Bankers. In addition there are a number of landowners,
+but while they sit on council, they have less authority and restricted
+voting powers.
