The Five Baronies

The Five Baronies is the loose alliance of countries on Gelthis. This council of leaders represents the five nations above ground, and is the center of all political discussion on the continent. Lead by the guidance of the Platinum Order, the Five Baronies work together to set common laws across Gelthis, handle any crisis that could threaten peace between the nations, as well as set up economic trade across the continent. The council is held on The Seat of Power, and island in the middle of the inner city. There each Barony sends its delegates to work and live, vying to advance the individual goals of their nation. It is rare that the leaders of the Baronies ever gather on the island unless there is a true crisis. This alliance was formed at the end of the Lost Age as power began to solidify among the more powerful groups across Gelthis. To see to the end of the constant fighting and power struggles the leader of the Platinum Order, Lady Cesa Suskini, brought the leaders of the multiple nations together and forced a truce to be signed. Though this treaty did finally set the map of Gelthis as we know it today it has not stopped the fighting between nations completely. There are still few territorial battles as each Barony pushes towards their own goals.
