of course, this puts the king in a tight spot - either back the pretender's legitimacy and risk being exposed, or join in exposing the pretender and see a valuable source of cash dry up.  Either way, the person exposing a pretender runs the risk of incurring the king's wrath.  </div> <bR> <div> Emperor of Breminor  <A NAME="emperor"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> By the end of the First Cycle, the Bringer had united the world.  All bowed down before the Bringer.  The world was united under a single Emperor who was the ultimate authority for both the Church and world.  </div> <div> The Bringer had four children, each of whom inherited a piece of the world.  The eldest son held Nythoria and the lands to the northwest of the world and, therefore, was considered Emperor.  Over time, as this process continued, the holdings of each heir shrank until the only holding the Emperor had was Nythoria.  </div> <div> During the Third Cycle, the last Emperor died leaving no heir.  His castellan assumed authority in Nythoria and his successors have controlled that territory since, declaring themselves Emperors of Breminor, though in truth the influence they wielded beyond the borders of Nythoria was spotty at best.  In addition, they are considered by the Church and most nobility to be usurpers since they are not direct descendants of the Bringer.  </div> <bR> <div> Nine Kingdoms of Breminor  <A NAME="nine_kingdoms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> There are nine true kingdoms in the world:</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Ishyr, in the northeast </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Valithra, in the central north </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Kakehun, in the northwest</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Nyslavadd, in the southwest</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Toroth, along the western shores of the Sea of Tala</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Eslebi, along the northern shores of the Sea of Tala</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Laladen, an island province in the Sea of Tala</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Sherna, an island province in the Inworld Sea</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800336600.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Dunihk, in the south. </div> <bR> <div> Rulers of the Nine Kingdoms  <A NAME="rulers"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> People claiming to be descendants of the Bringer rule most of these kingdoms.  It is said that “blood is thicker than water,” but no one knew how thin blood could get.  </div> <div> Only four of the original nine kingdoms are ruled by a Mortal king who descends from the Bringer:  Valithra, Eslebi, Laladen, and Toroth.</div> <div> Dunihk was destroyed by Amulon over the centuries, and is ruled by its minions;
