[@Ayemdar] Nice start you have here. A world split apart and a power hungry king goes for world domination. Obviously you need the races listed but like you said you are working on it. :) I do have some things that I can see working for this story. You might have already or are already thinking of them. The world of Aldrek was split apart because of King Keirris's decision to have the Banek race become superior. The three other parts of the world became their own nations. The nations Differed based on what they thought they should do against King Keirris and how they were going to do it. These thoughts about King Keirris that ended up creating 3 other nations even developed their own religions or policies about warfare. Perhaps one Kingdom's policy is to stand aside in conflict and only to act in self defense, thus their soldiers are mostly heavily armored knights with thick steel armor. This kingdom with the knight's thinks of King Keirris as a disgusting individual and wants to stay as far from him as possible. The kingdom's belief might be that "Staying away from a problem, makes the problem go away."
