In response to a question about the political division of the Kingdom into two realms, and the nature of the Eastern Kingdoms, Jeff Czyz posted this explanation:
Rillanon is the capitol of both the Kingdom and the Eastern Realm. Bas-Tyra is one of the oldest duchies within the Kingdom and, like you said, is located within the Eastern Realm.
...
The Eastern Kingdoms are small nations to the east of Rillanon. A few of them include the Kingdom of Roldem, the Duchy of Olasko, and Ceresia, among others. From REF awhile back:
'There are roughly fifteen areas, and truly only two 'Kingdoms,' while the rest are 'Duchy of. . .' Or 'Land of the . . . ' and there's a large disputed area.'
