	The '''Southern Federation of Kingdoms''' (SFK) was a political and military coalition in southern Mundus formed by several states—'''Jalbarra''', '''Yaxton''', and the '''Grand Duchy of Greater Urq''' are explicitly attested—to coordinate against regional rivals. The Federation emerged '''between ~500 and ~450 cycles ago''' and became the principal antagonist of Directionland in the '''War of the Empires (~300 cycles ago)''', after which it collapsed and was dissolved. Within the Aetherian tradition, the SFK’s patron deity is recorded as '''Darg'''.{{Infobox nation\|name=Southern Federation of Kingdoms\|flag=SFK_Flag.png\|flagsize=260px\|flag_alt=Flag of SFK\|flag_caption=Flag of the Southern Federation of Kingdoms\|coa=SFK_CoA.png\|coasize=220px\|coa_alt=SFK Coat of Arms\|coa_caption=Coat of Arms of The Southern Federation\|nation_type=Federation\|government=Imperial Federation\|anthem=We Are One\|motto=Truth Binds Us All\|currency=Urqot\|language1=Directian\|capital=Fort Yaxton\|city1=Arriqon\|city2=Gurron\|city3=Pomian Vale}}		The '''Southern Federation of Kingdoms''' (SFK) was a political and military coalition in southern Mundus formed by several states—'''[[Jalbarra]]''', '''[[Yaxton]]''', and the '''[[Grand Duchy of Greater Urq]]''' are explicitly attested—to coordinate against regional rivals.

			== Etymology and composition ==
			Primary sources refer to the polity as a '''federation of kingdoms''', with member states including '''Jalbarra''', '''Yaxton''', and '''Greater Urq'''. The exact number of additional members, if any, is not preserved in surviving summaries.

			== Formation and purpose ==
			The SFK formed '''in the window after the United Realm of Directionland (c. 500 cycles ago)''' and '''before the Great Unification (c. 450 cycles ago)'''. Contemporary accounts link its creation to '''border disputes with Ruulran''', alongside wider southern security concerns. By the time Directionland fully centralized at the Great Unification, the Southern Federation was already seen as a '''looming threat'''.

			== Government and leadership ==
			Sources characterize the SFK as a '''federated imperial structure''' during wartime, headed by a '''“King-Emperor.”''' During the War of the Empires, the coalition’s leader is named as '''King-Emperor Larsi'''. Further constitutional details (e.g., councils, capital seat) are not recorded in the extant overviews.

			== Foreign relations ==

			=== With [[Ruulran]] ===
			The Federation’s '''origin is tied to a Ruulran border dispute''', suggesting a guarded or adversarial posture toward Ruulran at its inception. Later, during the War of the Empires, Ruulran '''refused to intervene''' when Directionland requested aid, a decision that reshaped regional diplomacy but is not shown to have been coordinated by the SFK.

			=== With [[Directionland]] ===
			From its earliest mention, the SFK is framed as Directionland’s '''primary southern threat''', a status that influenced Directionland’s move from a symbolic union to a centralized empire at the '''Great Unification'''. Tensions culminated in the '''SFK invasion ~300 cycles ago''', which '''overran Gandry and Grelian''' and nearly broke the young empire before Directionland’s counteroffensive.
