The Kai Townships are a set of four nations in Thidinkai. Their government consists of a loose alliance of towns and villages, who remain autonomous, but have combined arms to remain independent from their neighbours. They elect a lord from amongst themselves to rule for life, and are fierce in their determination to remain free from the yoke of monarchs and tyrants. The following townships existed in the year 1444:
Lo Ngoen: Ruled by Lord Rama Bukae, Lo Ngoen stands out for its plentiful precious metal mines.
Thirabnir: is ruled by lord Narai Chaiya, and is poorest of the townships, thanks to large swaths of it's lands being desert.
Azkare: Ruled by lord Hiderion Tonanzuir, a Sunrise Elf from the Citadel of the Dawn. It is the richest of the townships, thanks to it's position on the Teleni River and prosperous farmlands.
Khao Elnak: Ruled by lady Mya Saetae, the Heiress of a rich Dauloph, and as such brings many connections to these mercenary lords. Khao Elnak is the origin of the Sikai Purebred, a breed of horses famed for their speed.
