There have been multiple wars, usually between Vapridora and other kingdoms. The reason all of the kingdoms are coming together to discuss an alliance is there is a new threat from the East that threatens them all and they will likely fail to defend against it unless united. As far as geography, I am still working on the map. All of the kingdoms are on the same continent.

Arolnan is to the far north west of the continent, their Kingdom is almost entirely made up of mountain ranges. South of Aronlnan is Nelia, making up the central part of the continent. To the east of Aronlan is Dribia, they make up a lot of the forest and wetlands of the continent. Khilux is the desert region to the south. Vapridora is in the north east part of the continent and has a strong navy since they have a lot of coast line.

Magic is not a thing in this world.
