The Four Cardinal Regions of Relgas

The land of Relgas is split up into four regions: North, East, South, and West. Each region has and Element Embodiment associated with it. While there is a cultural similarity that runs through all the regions, they can vary in things such as government set-up and laws along with variations on certain traditions.
The ones most involved in this scenario:
The Eastern Region:
This region is known for its might winds thanks to bordering warm ocean waters. The inhabitants harness this wind as a source of power to run various things (though nothing has been industrialized yet) such as mills to turn its plentiful wheat crop into flour, which is sold both locally and abroad. The region is the least united in terms of government. There is a seat of government in the most populated city of the region, Decurius, but the majority of the population is spread throughout the region, each with their own leader and additional laws besides the overall laws of the region. These leaders then in turn vote for a "king" to be the head and representative of the region, mostly in dealing with other regions or leading the region in times of war. Other regions view such a set up as too chaotic, and it is oftentimes said that anyone from the East is unreliable since it's hard to predict what they will feel like doing at the moment, a trait they share with their Embodiment, Mercurius. They are currently coming into conflict with the Southern Region.
The Southern Region:
This regions is known for its wetlands and torrential rainfall. The inhabitants have learned to use the water to advance their irrigation techniques and to cut and shape things that would otherwise be impossible to do so quickly, making them the primary provider of already shaped building materials such as stones. They are also known for their medicines and purifying techniques, some of which other places have adopted in order to have cleaner water. The bulk in the population of the region lies in Anap, the seat of the government. It is a huge city broken into several districts that have appointed governors reporting to one ruler whose rule is absolute. The recent dynasty has outlasted any of its predecessors by a large margin, making others wonder if the ruling family is somehow doing something to keep themselves in that position when even the successful ones died out by then. It is oftentimes said that someone from the South can shape anyone or anything into what they want with merely a word or a single action, so anything they say or do should come under scrutiny, much like their Embodiment, Appaanii. They are currently coming into conflict with the Eastern Region.
The Western Region: TBD
The Northern Region: TBD
