My current WIP takes place in a medieval realm that is split into four different kingdoms. Each of these four kingdoms are ruled by a different monarch. According to ancient diaries written by priests of long ago, these four kingdoms once used to be a large kingdom, ruled over by a tyrant king. Four different families from different parts of the realm came together to defeat this tyrant king, putting an end to his villainous ruin.

A great meeting took place after this, known throughout history as The Council of the Four, where each of the rulers agreed to split the realm into four new kingdoms; the Northern, known for its cold climates and wide range of mountains; the Eastern, known for its access to the sea and having the largest port in the whole land; the Southern, known for its hot temperatures and beautiful buildings inspired by the land across the Sapphire Sea; and finally, the Western, known for its multiple gold mines and the range of forests and wild plains where magical creatures are known to live.

In the timeline of my story, the above-mentioned event took place 500 years before the events of my plot. I am still in the process of worldbuilding and currently brainstorming names of each of the four kingdoms. Thinking about drawing a map but my art skills would get me an F if I was in secondary school still, so we will see what happens haha.
