Café de Nuit

A charismatic female politician and business lady who can't get popular. She has a faction but is not the star of it. Her domain runs on an elections or moot system. The current temporal ruler is a reasonable Queen Victoria/Elizabeth type who does her job well. Parliamentary system?

Domain of giant insects. Kinda amazing there isn't one already for the walking worms. People riding spiders like horses. A good dinner is unrolling a boiled giant pillbug with the crack of the exoskeleton and scooping out the cooked guts with a spoon. Giant mantis attacks. Red widows live openly. Every horrible parasitoid gets scaled up to human-size too. Wasp stings people in the brain and leads them off alive to a hole to be buried and fed to the wasp young. *Not* a drow domain though. May be fey or with a psionic focus.

A lady monk in the high mountains. She supposedly controls the flow of souls to the afterlife and reincarnation. She demands ever changing religious practice to ensure enough "devotion" has been gathered so her powers can function. The bureaucracy of souls is an organized collection of those who have died who are afraid to pass through the Grey Gate into the mists. They require "devotion" so that they do not move on. Since devotion is a limited currency, only a finite number can persist. This creates intrigue.
People characteristics: Carefully handcrafted goods to show devotion to craft. Extreme asceticism and complex ceremonies and practices which show high religiosity, often combined with feats of strength like carrying someone through mountains.
The bureaucracy of souls prevents undead from rising. Undead are unheard of in the country because souls don't come back like that. Some necromancers are trying to farm their own "devotion" with cults that are ruthlessly hunted down and stamped out - the cultists are often innocents who don't realize they are being taken advantage of.
Reincarnation, like the spell, sometimes spontaneously happens to characters who die. Revival spells often a problem.
Path of 1000 gates - the alpine highway to the high mountain kingdom where each blessed/cursed wooden gate passed under on the way has a legend.
Cultural: Traditional Mexico + Tibet?

Domain of trolls and giants. Might be a no-man's land. (e.g. No Darklord at moment, because in interregnum). Landmass between Lamordia and Darkon.
