Valora is known officially as the "Imperial Dominion of Valora" or to some of the international community as "North Valora" among those south of the border with South Valora, where descendants of the exiled Draeg'ar Ral IX rule a tiny rump state under the auspices of Mondo. Currently, Valora is a Dominion of the Imperial Federation, presiding over the subordinated territories of North Valora, West Valora, and the island of Tar-Palantir from its capital of Yixing.
The current territory was formed after the Conquest of Valora by the winning side of the Ralgonese War of Succession that saw a final end in 1715 AN. The principality is headed by Prince Benimaru Ral VIII, a nephew of independent Valora's erstwhile ruler, Draeg'ar Ral IX. The head of government is also the head of the Valorum Family, the most prominent noble family of the various Valoran polities that dotted Northwest Cibola before their ephemeral unification under Draeg'ar IX.
