* SuccessionCrisis: Breland is up for one, should King Boranel die. The King himself has a 100%AdorationRating, but a growing number of people are advocating for turning Breland into a republic upon his death. The wort-case scenario could be a CivilWar.

* TheNecrocracy: PlayedWith. It is a common conspiracy theory among some people that King Kaius III is actually his own Grandfather, Kaius I, who got turned into a vampire after embracing the Blood of Vol. The popularity of this conspiracy has lead King Kaius to do numerous things to disprove it, such as publicly cutting his hand, greeting nobles in the open sun etc. Still, some nobles, lead by a warlord named Drago Thul, actually fled to Strimreach and vowed to dipose the Vampire King. [[spioler: The thing is that they are '''right'''.]]

* TheTheocracy: Thranes current political system, although parts of the populace see the Church's role in worldly affairs very critical. The "Throneholders" are a group of royalists actively pushing for the restauration of the Monarchy, a goal shared by the current blood regent, Diani ir'Wynarn. Some people on the other hand advocate a co-rule between church and crown. The theocrats' position is probably not helped by the fact that the current Keeper of the Flame is an [[AChildShallLeadThem 11-year old girl]].

Located in the North-East of central Kohrvaire, Karrnath suffed heavily during the last war. Turning to the Blood of Vol in desparation, it disavowed the faith near the end of the war. This, in combination with King Kaius III's advocacy for the Treaty of Thronehold in the face of Karrnath's [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy proud martial tradition]] has left its internal affairs unstable.

It is a common conspiracy theory among some people that King Kaius III is actually his own Grandfather, Kaius I, who got turned into a vampire after embracing the Blood of Vol. The popularity of this conspiracy has lead King Kaius to do numerous things to disprove it, such as publicly cutting his hand, greeting nobles in the open sun etc. Still, some nobles, lead by a warlord named Drago Thul, actually fled to Strimreach and vowed to dipose the Vapire King.

-> '''Head of State''': Keeper Jaela Daran

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy:{{Deconstructed}}. Karrnath has a very strong martial tradition going back to Korth's days a city state. This pride drove them into the Last War and all resulting hardships. Even now it greatly hampers Kaius III pro-peace policies, fostering opposition among Karrnath's more traditionally minded warlords.

Located in the north-west of central Khorvaire, the nation of Aundair is Khorvaire's leading centre of magic. Aundair lost it's western half due to an uprising during the last war. These lands are now the Eldeen Reaches. They also lost the Lands around Thaliost to Thrane.

* {{Foil}}: Towards Karrnath. Aundair has a strong magical tradition, as opposed to Karrnath's [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy martial]] one. Aundairans favor finess and splendor, whereas Karnnathi favor strength and a more spartan lifestyle. Aundair lost its western terretories (forming the Eldeen Reaches) and Karnnathz its eastern vassals (the Dwarves of the Mror Holds). And, lastly, [[spoiler: Aundair is ruled by an offically good-aligned Queen seeking to [[WellIntentionedExtremist reignite last war]], whereas Karnnath is ruled by an offically evil-aligned King who seeks to [[PragmaticVillany preserve the peace]].]]
