The northern kingdoms that are found in what was once called the UK and European countries such as; Italy, France, Spain, and Poland.
"Duty and Service"
Founded on two separate northern islands, the kingdom of Leo is a center of commerce and a source of the most knights, soldiers, and leaders of the Church's military besides the kingdom of Oron. They boast of their jack-of-all-trades nature and have troops stationed all over the Church's kingdoms save for the southern regions, the kingdom of Bernhard, and the wastelands of Eastern Europe.
Serpentis-Snake
"Work, Penance, and Reward"
Known to be a criminal nation by some, the kingdom of Serpentis has been associated with mercenaries, especially since it won't dedicate troops to the Church's army without promise of an appropriate payment. They have the largest number of skilled human archers, blade-dancers, stealthy scouts, and guards and penitents who will give their lives to God without question.
Equus-Horse
"Protect and Give"
The people of Equus are known for their craftwork and ability to invoate. Their number was hired to fix the technology of the past and were said to be able to get prototypes of them in a state that would've been able to work if the disasters that destroyed everything hadn't happened. In terms of their cities, their walls are the tallest and strongest, and much can be said about their buildings and army as their troops are the most heavily armored in the Church's army and typically wield large shields, sometimes even wielding two shields at once as weapons of both offense and defense. These soldiers guard the most important cities besides their own and places where the top Church leaders meet.
Noctua-Owl
"Reflect God's Will"
In a land that lives in constant night, the kingdom of Noctua is known for its knights of the moon who have black skin and bright yellow eyes. Their soldiers are the most elite knights of the Church and have a brotherly rivalry with Leo to fill the ranks of the army with more of its members and obtain glory and honor for its kingdom's name with Noctua having an advantage in that their strange circumstances of their land has gifted them with extra strength, higher perception, and the ability to use magic such as the kind that allows them to mask their approach with dark fog and blind with light that can flash from their eyes.
The southern Kingdoms that are found in what was once called the areas of Africa, the Middle East, Greece, Romania, and Turkey.
Corvus-Crow
"Salvation Only Comes Through Death"
This mysterious kingdom, just like Noctua, is cloaked in constant night. Their land is dead, and yet, they, their vegetation, and wildlife somehow live. The living things in this land appear half-dead with both the animals and people having a corpse-like appearance to them since their skeletons and inner flesh are regularly exposed. Life persists regardless and manage to get by with it constantly dying and being reborn day in and out. To the people of Corvus, this is just a reminder and a blessing with the appearance of a curse that all who fall to sin can rise again no matter how dead to sin they may appear. They wield heavy swords, hammers, and spears. In terms of defense, they never use shields or any kind of armor because they are resilient despite being glorified walking corpses. They are so resilient, in fact, that they use the spikes and thorns that adorn their weapons to cut not only their enemies but also themselves to use their magic to conjure thorns, insects, and poisons to further increase the suffering of their enemies to force their repentance.
Canis-Dog
"Life is War"
The ever-warring kingdom of Canis is a place full of firey people who live in a firey land filled with volcanoes, hostile wildlife, and plants that are also alive and carnivorous. They wield maces, axes, long swords, and can use fire magic to burn their enemies, heal their wounds, and ignite themselves full of energy. Since they are violent people, they are good friends with the kingdom of Bernhard and even have sparring tournaments with them. Their crime rates are low due to their low tolerance for it and have troops fighting the ratmen in the wasteland since they can survive in it as their bodies are used to the savage conditions of their own homeland.
Polypus-Octopus
"Always Searching, Always Questioning"
The strangely cold lands of the kingdom of Polypus are ever-shifting. Its wildlife and vegetation are peaceful and won't attack anything unless provoked, which makes it a wonder how some of the animals, especially the once carnivorous ones can survive without eating. It's people can also go for long periods of time without eating. That's not the only area where they are strange since the people native to this land have more than one eye per eye socket and have light blue or completely white skin. Some of its people even have tendrils for arms or legs or have additional eyes on different parts of their limbs, body, or face. Depending on their knowledge and fortitude, they can levitate, fly, use ice magic, psychologically get into someone's head, or summon creatures of ice. They are not a warring people so they mostly keep to themselves and out of the Church's affairs and politics unless there's a dire need for it or if one of their spiritual leaders has a premonition from God that they need to warn the Church about. One example of this was the birth of the ratmen, orcs, and elves that no one knew what to do with since the premonition warned of a new humanity being born. They, however, were prepared for the new human races and were able to keep their kingdom free of the infestation of Pope Sylvantic's ratmen.
