Is it mentioned in any sourcebook the names of the nations pre-Galifar? I know the actual names comes before the names of the five Galifar siblings so I am just curious about the subject.

Besides, I am curious about what nation do you are fan of and why.

Me? I am totally a Thrane fan. Silver flame, shadow of the flame, Tira Miron, religious faith in political power, that bastard Krozen in the seat of it all...endless chances for adventure.

I don't know of the pre-Galifar nations names. Sorry. I will try to look up.

I love Breland. This big kingdom with their King's Citadel secret services and others stuff, Sharn the Sharn Inquitive, It's good nation that made war and still spy on it's neightbor, as do Karnathi

  I remember much of the land that is now Aundair was named Thaliost, which is part of the reason they're so ticked off about losing the city of the same name to Thrane's occupation.  I also believe that the region of southern Breland where Wroat and Sharn now sit was called Wroat before Galifar renamed it after a beloved niece.

IIRC Thrane used to be Daskaran.

Five Nations says:
Aundair used to be Thaliost
Thrane used to be  Daskara
Cyre used to be Metrol
Breland used to be Wroat (and was founded by a man named Breggor Firstking and he was the one who annexed Sharn/Sharaat)
Karrnath was always called Karnnath (and founded by Karnn).

Thaliost and Metrol were probably (this is only a deduction from my part) just powerful city states and not kingdoms proper.

Well, IIRC, Thaliost ended up having Fairhaven as a capital even before Thaliost became Aundair, yet still kept being called Thaliost...

  I think that all the Five Nations originally began as powerful city-states that slowly expanded outwards to conquer smaller cities to form small empires.
