Teod is in fact just a small part of the continent. North of the Teod peninsula, beyond the mountains, is the [[Rose Empire]]{{tes ref|76}}. This empire has many provinces, including but not limited to [[Mulla’dil]], [[MaiPon]], [[Dzhamar]], [[Ukurgi]]. They have some diplomatic trade with other nations, such as [[Svorden]] and [[Jindo]]. The empire also maintains a little used mountain pass that leads to [[Teod]].{{tes ref|98}} Unlike Teod, the Rose Empire has limited cultural exchange with the nations of Opelon, though it has some diplomatic relations with [[Svorden]] and [[Jindo]]. Certain segments of the population seem to have a concept of [[Realmatic Theory]].
