Not truly a kingdom, Loren is simply the lands acknowledged to be under the control of the surviving Faeries. Separated from its neighbors by a small mountain range, Loren for the most part ignores the other kingdoms, the Seelie Court which rules it only occasionally sending a representative to meet with Madeira or Ryantra, and rarely anywhere else.
The lands themselves are lush forests, with few roads to speak of. An occasional small castle does grace the forest where it thins, each one holding one of the Higher Sidhe responsible for that area. Any large villages are often amongst the trees, or even in the branches, in some cases.
Relying on nature and magic to provide everything, Loren has very little trade with the outside world. They do have a handful of regular trade routes, and have put in place a political system for the lower Faeries not unlike that of the surrounding kingdoms. Visitors to Loren will find it quiet, peaceful, and without many of the conveniences of civilization, but will find the social structure familiar. A fair number of Humans even choose to live among the Faeries, and are generally accepted as equals.
Loren has few enemies or allies, holding itself aloof from most of the political games. They do have very good relations with Madeira and Ryantra, their closest neighbors, and have a slight distrust of Solumas. Since the Kurr'd-ah invasion, they have been providing magical aid for any kingdom fighting the aliens, improving their image considerably, but they have been withdrawing even more from other aspects of the world.
