Modern Marcwith
Due to the nature of Marcwith’s genetic history and rivaling cultures, modern history has seen years of change and upset among the continent. Generally the land is divided into six countries.

Vinumera Hwox and Oarnoa Southern Marcwith The Islands
Though currently consisting of Vael and Numera, the north eastern side of the continent is still considered to be the ancient homeland of the Deerless named for their founding father. This part of Marcwith still boasts the largest population of Deerless-Coalescent peoples and contains some of the most famous cities, including the ancient trade-city of Houndsmouth, the old capitol Qubbhae, and the popular tourist city Vinerin which hosts the largest collection of the famous author Githmund.
Hwox and Oarnoa
Currently linked, the cultures of these two remote places are quite dissimilar. While Hwox still has a large, fairly indigenous population, Oarnoa is an incredible diverse mix of genetics and cultures that defies most of the northern continent. Too remote to be a big draw for outside visitors, the city of Causeway (with it’s obvious Stormvice name) has retained an incredible amount of original architecture. The Tecuoth Shkm, better known as the Butterfly Castle, is the sight of a three-sided battle famously recalled by the Uembian poet Zindea.
Orom in the West has been a sore subject for the inhabitants of Marcwith as well as archeologists all over the world. Within this historically human-controlled territory lies the ancient ruins of the so-called ‘Mysterious West’, a place both heavily guarded and constantly promoted. Here the culture of the Westerners is left in ruins, an old civilization that moderners only know of through the works of Githmund Extiez and the short amount of time allotted to scholars each year during the Echtoan and Tamashp holidays.
Central Marcwith is home to another turbulent force, the Freestate of Ido, or FOI. Nestled in the only hospitable part (and even this most consider a stretch) of the Creeping Desert is a militant group of native people, mostly consisting of Bava, Hwox, and Deerless coalescent. Few venture past the natural fortress of that wasteland, and those that do find a state of living far below what most would consider poverty – the people instead living as their ancient ancestors would.
Southern Marcwith
Southern Marcwith is the most diverse country, and the only to claim a part of the Creeping Desert as a part of their own homeland. Few Bava or Hwoxin coalesnt reside there, but their Uembian population is massive. Much calmer than the north, a few cities in the south have recently gained some economic promenience in Marcwith, drawing young families from the north as well as from around the world.
The Islands
Far south are the islands of Ternomei and Dideh, home of the most traditional Uembians. A few tribes of Uembians still reside on Dideh living in much the same way as they did in ancient times, farmers and fishermen who practice a secretive form of Mageroa thought to be close to the religious practices of the Mysterious West.
