Obrion
Obrion is a fictional country within the world of The Petralist Series. It is similar to Earth in the Middle Ages except that it has its own magic system. It is a small country with several rivers and big lakes which are bordered by a mountain range.

Politics: Obrion is at war with Granadure. They are rather isolationist and are run by a monarchy and ruling noble faction. Commoners are the majority of the population and are refered to as linn by the upper class.

History/Culture: Throughout the series Obrion is hinted at having a once vast and noble empire which has since become a smaller country after some great event took place. The culture is patriotic and draws inspiration from Scottish culture among others. It is believed by the common people that the Grandurians are evil and the war with Granadure is worthwhile. It is also believed that certain individuals are "cursed" with powers activated through magic stones, called Petralists, and that commoners with these powers must seek patronage from a nobleborn high lord or lady in order to avoid the ill-effects of the curse.
