Junora isn't a unified country but a diverse territory, parts of which still lie within the Ban. It's the perfect place to put Baron Frankenstein's Castle, Gormenghast, or a town of Ogres. You could even place a village of hobbits there and nobody would get too upset. Retrint, I think, is one of the Janubian City states and meant to be developed as the referee intends.

The Ban. For almost two centuries, Oranor was cut off from everybody else in the whole world. During that time, numerous other changes occurred in Fronela. Loskalm transformed itself from a typical Malkioni Kingdom into a highly advanced meritocratic society. Before the Ban, solar worship was minimal in Southbank yet a Solar Ruler now runs the place. The Kingdom of War appeared from nowhere. Why should we assume that Oranor continued as it was since time immemorial?

Pagan simply means that they do not worship Malkioni religion. East Wilds, Prax, Caladraland and Dagori Inkarth are all thoroughly pagan yet they look nothing like Sartar and Esrolia.
