Politics
Midia is a somewhat of a fractured nation due to its lack of centralized leadership. The city itself is divided into four districts, with each district being governed by one of the great houses of Midia. These four houses are House Santio, House Vigo, House Lusini, and House Mira. However, unbeknownst to other countries and even to most members of the Midian nobility is the existence of a fifth major power in Midia called the House of Shadows. As each of the great houses are essentially interdependent upon one another with the exception of the secret fifth house, the balance of power in Midia is relatively equal despite conflict between the nobility being commonplace.
