That's all just superstition. Glorwing is a place where suddenly a city or a person can appear/disappear due to a fluctuation in the interdimensional space-time continuum (aka "rift").
The official timescale is time as it passes by definition in the Kingdom and has nothing to do with time as you and I percieve it in game.
Or short: If you're looking for logic and consistency in a world where people have wings, converse with animals or fight dragons, you're up for a great disappointment.

Current monarch is Queen Cassandra Lumens.
* Blacksilver is a primarily dwarven settlement in the cold northern region of Wilwarin. This city lies in the midst of a mountain range mined and excavated by the dwarves who came through the Rift. It is an independent nation run by the First Axe and houses a fighting Arena, the Stone Sentinels, and the HordeQuarters.

* Dun-Ammon was transported in it's entirely to the lands of Wilwarin following the simultaneous miscasting of a spell by many mages in an effort to protect the city. It is the furthest city to the southwest and is a desert community run by the Sultan and his bodyguard, the Nightblades. It contains the Cabal of the Grey Sisters, the Temple of the War Triad, underground ruins of the old city, and many merchants. There is a land route to Dry Town to the north, and another to New Lyrun to the south.
Current Sultan is Akar al'Dorib
* Arbar is a small village that lies roughly a days walk from Eagle Nest at the foot of the Winterwolf Mountains and on the shore of a frozen lake. Extremely tolerant of mages, this city was teleported from this plane and only returned after the Great War.
* New Lyrun is a recently discovered city on the coast south of Dun-Ammon. Not much is known about this city at this time other than it is growing quickly as trade lanes, over land and sea, open to it.

* The Barony of Byrne was recently liberated from the rule of the lich, Daithi Byrne, by a band of adventurers.

Now, rebuilding, the people are once again led by a Baron, and enjoy the protection of the Crown as a vassal state.
Current Baron is Ventrian Byrne

Few ever left the island and the first mention of it came from Raido Stormraven. Ruled by an Emperor/Empress, it was home to Wolf Clan, Bear Clan, the Forest of the Druid Queen, and Port Heany. Port Heany was the Main town upon the island containing a bounty office, a temple, and a tavern with exotic drinks found no place else. The Royal Hold was home to the current ruler.
Current Empress is Empress Marshtola
