Midrealm
The people of Midrealm are a little bit hotter under the collar than Northrealmers. There is a big drinking culture, and a more overt such than with Northrealmers. The terms "YOLO" is not misplaced as a lot of people waste their lives going to different militias and there is constant strife between the kingdoms. Capitoleum, the largest city on the continent is here which adds to the power struggle, and hundreds of interest factions vye for power. The most prominent ones are the main Houses, the Sickle (the mage guild), the Chamber of Commerce, the Shadow Chamber (thieve's guild etc), the Stripes (the Capitoleum milita) and many others. Also worth mentioning The Family Register, which keeps track of all noble families in the Realms. Over-all, money and power are things Midrealmers appreciate a lot, and if they don't have much of that they love a rowdy night out.
A few generations ago, Capitoleum and all the near-costal cities were known as the rape capital of the world, so The Court (a council of all Houses) started girl's schools around the realms to both educate but also teach self-defence. Girls still don't want to go out alone at night, but most residents are also too fond of their bollocks to try anything stupid nowadays. The Stripes may be quite corrupt in the less nicer parts of town, but even the most corrupt has absolutely no tolerance for assault on women. They have been known to beat suspected perpetrators to death in the harbour districts where a lot of southerners come and stay.
Over all, the legal system works pretty well for a mideival-style society.
Midrealmers look on themselves as the best people there are. A combination of culture, military prowess and drinking ability. Northerners look on to this opinion with a condescending and smile as if saying "there, there, little brother".
Below is a map of the central Midrealm with a coloured legend for Houses and named cities.
