Government: A centralized empire ruled by an Emperor in Agon, with cities governed by kings/queens, councils, or—where order has given up—local militias.

Culture: Pragmatic, ambitious, and endlessly fractious. Lords and ladies wield influence through land ownership.

Capital: Agon, named for the hero Agonis.

Notes: Midgard is the engine of human expansion, and its politics are a forge that never cools.
