4. Adhania- Neighbours of the Exolas alliance to the east. Considered the strongest nation of the east, its relation with Exolas is surprisingly good. Supports and finances Exolas to suppress the Cantagenans.

5. Tibias- A rich, fertile country south of Adhania. Mortal enemies of Adhania, who covets its fertile, delta banks. Just a strait of five kilometers separates the two nations. Friend of convenience of Cantagena.
