-Economically, Casadia is best known for its mining and enchanting. Its prowess in these areas has made it quite wealthy. Casadians place great emphasis on communal success, and as such work to guarantee that everyone within their society has the means and resources to survive. Most Casadians live well, though few possess large sums of personal wealth. Casadians are quite cautious with their surpluses, choosing to use them to insure against future crises such as famine or war rather than expend them in the short term.

 Casadia maintains minor trading partnerships with its neighbors on the Imperial Sea, but is not a major trading power as a result of its insular economic policy.

-Encompassing the mountainous central region of Casadia, it is where Casadian colonists first sought to establish a foothold in the new world. Many consider the region to be one enormous fortification; with steep cliffs around its entire perimeter, the territory within is nearly impregnable. It is for this reason that Casadia's capital was constructed deep within this region.

 === Ankylos ===
-Founded in 449 A.I. on the order of [[wiki:characters:arkelai|Arkelai]], the plan was for Ankylos to become the new fortified capital of Casadia. The construction and development of the city was an expensive undertaking, as some vital materials like wood had to be hauled through the mountains. After nearly a century of construction, the fortifications were finally completed in 544 A.I. The city serves as the capital of Casadia, with the governing councils being housed in the Tower of Dawn. The city is also Casadia's diplomatic center, featuring a number of guild halls and embassies from realms throughout the empire.

-==== Ilothera ====
-Consisting of dense forests and fertile plains, Ilothera is both Casadia's breadbasket and a major center of production. It is one of Casadia's most expansive regions, and as such features the largest number of major settlements out of any region.
 === Miradost ===
 The largest town in Ilothera, Miradost has humble beginnings as a mining town. As the realms demand for minerals and ores grew, so did Miradost. The town has experienced steady growth throughout the years, including the addition of a winery and a large number of farms.

 === Imara ===
 The first settlement in Ilothera, Imara is a loose collection of farming households. The settlement was originally just a fort used during the construction of the great Casadian road, but soon grew as settlers moved into the new territory.
+=== Shraek ===
+A small town on the western edge of the Ilotheran swamp, Shraek is home to a community of Orcs. The town's economy is centered around fishing and the farming of rare plants that only grow in swamps, primarily the highly-prized ventus leaf. The town is largely built on stilts to avoid being washed away during a flood. A small fort is perched atop the hill overlooking the town and serves as a refuge in the event of an attack.
+==== Avanoria ====
+Located to the east of the grand duchy, the duchy of Avanoria was originally settled by a combination of Casadians and Path-following Östrons. It is a heavily forested region that produces a great deal of lumber used by the rest of the realm. It also acts as a barrier between the unruly Östron freeholds to the east and the heart of Casadia.

+Consisting almost entirely of vast stretches of jungle, the realm of the Mittilari has only a tenuous connection with Casadia due to the lack of Casadian colonists. The reclusive dwarves of the region do not seek much outside contact and are reluctant to share information about their settlements, but years of gentle diplomacy by Casadia has yielded a some limited trade and information exchange between the two realms. While the region is nearly totally autonomous, the Mittilari do provide Casadia with mithril as payment for protection offered by Casadia's soldiers.
