Being the second country that lies in the low lands beside The Great Rift the Rifthold Republic is a stark contrast to the havenkeep duchies, where's the fudalistic settlements of the dutchies focuses the power to a single person the Republics settlements share their labour equally. After the Great rift where created the birdfolk of the forest and coasts where the ones to quickly come to the aid of those caught in the aftermath, their help and guidance have formed a society that values the flock as a whole, each settlement has a elected leader and the nation is governed by a elected Chancellor who is democratically selected by the members of "the Murder", the republics parliament in Ravenheim.
The Republic is home to large forests like: the Kobold forest, Gobnar woods and the Red wood that serves as the main border to the Dutchies in the east. In the middle of these three woods is the Winged lake whose rivers divides the three forests. Around the Winged lake are the settlements of Murkwell, Direknoll and Bridgeton, with Redwater to the north being close to the Bador mountainss. By the western coast lies Spearbeak and by the western mouth of the Great Rift lies the capital Ravenheim. The Skiold Island in the Talon Strait is also under the Republic's jurisdiction .
