Ray posted more details about the political situation in the east:
The Eastern Kingdoms are small states that cause constant friction on the Kingdom's eastern border. The Armies of the East often don't fight, but there are constant skirmishes and much political intrigue.
A few of those states are related by political marriage to either Roldem or the Kingdom of the Isles, but if you want a historical Earth model, think of the Kingdoms and Duchies of Italy or Germany before it was unified.
