The countries of Thaelia's World: Greycliff

In my fantasy novels, Thaelia's World, many of the countries resemble those of our modern world. Greycliff is similar to England. Grecyliff borders Cusbergh to the north, Barera to the north-west, and Phaelyng on the south. All four countries are formed to one large island and a handful of smaller ones. The Shark's Pass Sea sits between Greycliff and the mainland with the Southern Sea on the eastern edges.

Greycliff

Greycliff is ruled by King Arken. His late wife, Reidun, succumbed to childbed fever after giving birth to their second child, Prince Kyrold. It's primary commodities are wool, wheat, apples and berries. Lumber, dairy products, and beef are also produced. The forests are full of game including deer, trihorn (an antelope-like deer), bear, wolves, furbearing mammals (beaver, mink, weasels) and a feline predator called a forest cat (a large bobcat-like cat with stripes and saber-teeth).

The north part of the country is full of high mountains, thick forests, and picturesque lakes. The capitol city is Foxwarre. King Arken maintains a second palace at Karivane. Alline is one of the principle port cities.
