The country of Eiros is located in the western half of Gaia. To its west is the land of the Kracos tribes that it has placed under subjectation. From the first king Augustus to the most current Aruski, the country of Darkness has held the Kracos tribes at bay, both from attacks and from rising above their place. The Kracos tribe is both reviled and feared by many. Seen as neither civilized nor even human, the lowest taint of Kracos blood in your family is considered a taint upon your humanity. Barbarians being the kindest thing a citizen of Eiros will call a countryman of the Kracos tribes.

To the south and East is the strange country of Duvah, while they are two separate countries, their backgrounds are similar. Separated by the ocean of Tilia, the island country is perhaps their greatest ally. Given to large steamships, it controls a good deal of trade and as such, is also the main supplier of what non homeland commodities Eiros itself does not have.

The mountain ranges provide an excellent vantage point and natural defense for various sections, and passes through these crags are the only way that caravans can pass through. Patrolled and guarded diligently by those who would risk it, they are mostly kept safe from bandits and raiders. Hidden among these mountains are said to be the greatest schools of the martial arts, both unarmed and weapon-based. These are what the country is truly legendary for...

However, the seasonal typhoons and hurricanes that usually occur make things harrowing for the inhabitants. Not to mention the tidal waves, but those come once every twenty years, on schedule. It is quite uncanny that the seas seem to have a timed and orderly schedule, but nature itself is odd in those ways where it has natural patterns.
