The Twelve Realms of Antior

The Magic Sword Kings Period saw the frenetic rise and fall of twelve mighty nations (listed in order of their destruction during the Vampyric Wars, as according to the novel The Twilight Vampyres) :

• K'th'ith'h (Lord B'gh'd fell in 850)
• The Kingdom of Parsonya (fell in 924)
• Morlond's Field (surrendered utterly in 925)
• Shadia (fell in 939)
• The Kingdom of Yymp (fell in 942)
• Ithbarg (fell in 943)
• Ithbarg II (fell in 950)
• The Land of Thrown Fish (fell in 999 at the tail end of the Fumbling Offensive)
• Mandleclang (1003, destroyed in the last ditch offensive at the Chasm of Eternal Sorrow)
• Blee (1003)
• Graha (1003)
• Kelembad (1003)

• Portund (Continually applied for, but were never able to attain, Twelve Realms Status; never destroyed.)

The kingdoms were ruled by The Kings Council, the governing body that included kings from each of the nations, presided over by a High King who sat on the throne of Mandleclang.

Though many of these nations fought bravely, they all perished in the Vampyric Wars fought against The Vampyre Kingdom. Although Battal continued to be ruled by Magic Sword Kings for thousands of years, no period was quite so Epic and no empire quite so grand as the unity created by The Kings Council.
