Shinsoo Kingdom
Shinsoo Kingdom is located in the south of the continent. Its main activities are commerce.
It was founded by Yoon-Yoing after the collapse of the old kingdom, as a result of a trade agreement with the east. Shinsoo has conflicts with the western kingdom and trade routes can be dangerous. When they realized the danger of the Metin Stones, the merchants armed themselves. Their goals: to protect themselves against attacks from the west, to reopen trade routes, and to reunite the old kingdom under their own will.
Chunjo Kingdom
Chunjo Kingdom is settled in the western part of the continent. It is a theocratic kingdom ruled by its spiritual leaders.
It was founded by Yoon-Young, a cousin of the old kingdom. Yoon-Young sought help from his wife's immense magical powers to foresee the danger of the Metin Stones. He repeatedly proposed launching efforts to find a solution against the Metin Stones, but was ignored each time. Eventually, he led a rebellion against the old kingdom. After the old king was dethroned, Chunjo remained at war with the eastern and southern kingdoms.
Their goals: to take control of the entire continent and to stop the growing power of the Metin Stones.
Jinno Kingdom
Jinno Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the continent. This kingdom is founded on military strength and its people are aggressive and warlike.
The leader of Jinno Kingdom is Ee-Ryoong, the son of the last king. He believes he can reunite the old kingdom through military force.
Concerns about the meaning and effects of the Metin Stones are officially ignored. However, in his private thoughts, Ee-Ryoong seeks ways to use the deadly power of the Metin Stones to accomplish his plans.
