Founded in January, A.S. XII, the Kingdom of Meridies is the fifth oldest Kingdom in the Known World. Geographically it consists of Alabama, the eastern two-thirds of Tennessee, almost all of Georgia, a bit of the panhandle of Florida, and a portion of Kentucky. Given its location, it should be no surprise that the name Meridies means "The South".
