Rhyddel is the Kingdom to the East of The Continent. The terrain is basically one huge mountain with a mostly relatively flat slope and many wide terraces all around. The knowledge about whether these terraces are manmade or natural are lost to time.

These flat outcrops hold very fertile soil, and the farmers of Rhyddel use companion planting to keep them that way.

History: Used to be a more traditional monarchy until the Scarlet family led a commoner rebellion in 567 I.C. and overthrew most noble families of Rhyddel. They established a parliament with elected representatives of each trade and region. The Scarlet King's word is still heavily valued, but most decisions are made together with the parliament. Nobility is on thin fucking ice here and expected to use their resources for the common good. Tentative friendly relations with Esmeragd.
