Run by the Goliath Clan, Goilath was once known as the Gargoyle Empire, during which the nation spanned from the tip of the Soleilian Peninsula to the heart of Aquilonis. The Empire ceased to exist when the ruling clan was put under a spell that placed them in an eternal stone sleep within Castle Garvis, leaving the empire without leaders. A power struggle between rival gargoyle clans, normally kept in check by the ruling Goliath clan, soon erupted into a civil war that tore the empire apart in less than a generation. A racial war with other sentient races of Aquilonis also contributed to the nation's destruction. Nearly two thousand years after the empire fell, the Goliath Clan sleeping within Castle Garvis was accidentally awakened during a battle for the castle during the Great Northern Aquilonis War.

Sinis was once two enemy empires that emerged out of the Sinis Clan Wars, Zhongua and Shenzhou. But cooling tensions over time eventually led to unification. The large island it occupies is surrounded by a chain of islands that have been heavily fortified over the centuries, and given the permanent name, Great Wall of Sinis, which not even the naval-dominant Fuso has ever been able to bypass. Though xenophobic to foreigners by nature, it is not above trying to expand it's borders though war, but has never managed to succeed going beyond the Sinis mainland. Despite peaceful unification, inter-clan fighting is still commonplace, yet is most often over small easily remedied issues. Nevertheless, the inter-clan fighting has turned into all-out civil war more than once, making Sinis notorious for political instability, and has suffered "national collapse" several times in the past, a problem often taken advantage of by aspirant tyrants.
