Shining Lands

The Shining Lands was the collective term used for the three countries surrounding the Golden Water. These were: Durpar, Estagund, and Var the Golden.

History
The countries of Durpar, Estagund, and Var the Golden all shared the same way of life because Durpar controlled the other countries for many years. In fact, the term "Durparian" usually referred to anyone from these three countries, not just someone from Durpar. These countries were ultimately ruled by the Council of Merchants from Heldapan.
