ituated to the east of the city of Nevrast, the Midrealm is a confederation of small kingdoms, ruled over by King Jafar al Safa of the Midrealm, the Eastern King, and the Khan of the Golden Horde, leader of a barbarian tribe which has settled on the southwestern fringes of the Midrealm. The royal courts of the nation amuse themselves with jousts and tournaments, pastimes designed to divert the nobles and courtiers from the threat on their far border. Here the soldiers of the Midrealm and their allies, the soldiers of the Horde, maintain a vigilant watch on their land's border with the White Plains, whose monstrous denizens have launched raid after raid.

As far as the authorities of Nevrast are concerned, the soldiers of the Midrealm provide a useful service, maintaining their state as a buffer between Nevrast and the evil creatures of the White Plains. Thus, successive mayors of Nevrast have maintained good relations with House al Safa in order to ensure the continuation of this buffer zone.
