Themble is the province where much of Name of the King takes place. Notably, it is fairly close to the border of the Feylands, with only two mountain ranges between them. Themble is famous for its hot summers and wet winters, as well as the delicious olives, wine, and huge agricultural economy. Although there were once four monarchies, three have fallen to the Black King since his first overnight coup nine years ago.
