REGION OVERVIEW
The primarily Human kingdom of Sovereign Shores lies on the northwest coast of Vathria. Sovereign Shores is the reigning kingdom in the Vathrian Empire, thanks to the work of Thellen Brightborn and its superior naval prowess. However, as its current leader grows corrupt, falling further under the influence of the mysterious Countess Cassandra De Mon, the nation's iron grip over the continent begins to weaken. They now find themselves facing more and more opposition, primarily from other Human kingdoms.
Champion Arthur Brightborn is the prince of Sovereign Shores, son to the current king and is a fugitive at large.
GEOGRAPHY
Sovereign Shore is a coastal region with the ocean to its west and the Splintered Coast at its southern borders. The nation is almost entirely composed of low, rolling hills and flatlands, with a number of impressive forests and lakes that are host to a wide variety of fauna.
DEMOGRAPHIC
The nation is host to the largest Human population across the entirety of the Vathrian continent. While most nations have embassies in Baycrest city, it is not common for other races to settle in Sovereign Shore. Elves are certainly more common to see in the land considering the proximity to Faymalia and the alliance between the two nations.
RULING
Descendants of the ancient hero Aldren, the Brightborns are the ruling monarchs of Sovereign Shores. The current king is Abellon Brightborn, ruling under the influence of Countess Cassandra De Mon, a powerful demon masquerading as a Human.
Below the King are the many families that make up Sovereign Shores nobility, who enjoy wealth along with exemption from laws and religious taboos.

CLIMATE
The climate in the region is maritime, moist and temperate, with a moderate annual temperature range. Its location near the ocean allows for consistent sea winds and rains which provides an abundance of agriculturally fertile lands. While much of the region is blessed with sun all year round, the south sees the hottest temperatures. It is host to a number of popular resorts for the wealthy who venture there when winter approaches in the capital city.
