Sorbia is a massive empire in the southern reaches of the continent across the Western Ocean from Detina renowned for its harsh winters. Fifty years before the Detinan Civil War, Great King Kermit's armies invaded Sorbia during a particularly nasty winter. They reached the capital city of Pahzbull but were forced into retreat through severe winter and on starvation rations. This campaign was the turning point in Kermit's wars against his neighbors.
