Geography
The Ethuveraz is bordered by Pencharn, Ilinveriär, Estelveriär, Celvaz, Barizhan, and the Evressai Steppes. There are five principalities that make up the Ethuveraz: Thu-Athamar, Thu-Cethor, Thu-Evresar, Thu-Istandaär, Thu-Tetar. It has five main rivers: the Athamara, the Cethora, the Evresartha, the Istandaärtha (the principal river of the Ethuveraz), and the Tetara.

Government and Other Important Associations
The Ethuveraz is ruled by an emperor, the Ethuverazhid Zhas, supported by the concordat of the Parliament, the Corazhas, and the Judiciate. The center of government is the Untheileneise Court, in Cetho, where the emperor and his court reside. Each principality is ruled by a prince, and they are all loyal to the emperor.

The Athmaz'are is the “the institution of the mazei of the Ethuveraz”. It is governed by the Adremaza.

There is a university system, which is open to men and women, though women are discouraged from attending due to societal sexism.

Currency
The Ethuveraz has two denominations of currency, zashan (plural: zashanei) and muranai. There are also half-zashan coins, five-zashan coins, and ten-zashan coins. Muranai is seemingly the larger denomination of currency.

Religion
The prelacy is the religious organization of clergy in the Ethuveraz, covering all the local gods. It is governed by the Archprelate of Cetho. Many gods are worshiped in the Ethuveraz, and there are many different sects of belief.

Population
The Ethuveraz is ruled and populated largely by elves, though the current emperor, Edrehasivar VII, is half-goblin, and goblins, half-goblins and part goblins hold positions of power and authority throughout the land, or otherwise reside there. At least one other unnamed race has some members in the Ethuveraz, represented by Dachensol Habrobar.

Ethuverazhin is the primary language of the Ethuveraz. Barizhin is also relatively common, given the high number of goblin residents.
