Five Kingdoms is a multinational historical drama multimedia presentation based on the events of the Five States period and the Ur-Real Invasions of the Large Magellanic Cloud produced by the #Lords irCollective. Directed by Scotts ibn Matthais the series had a budget of over a billion thalers and a production period of almost six years.

It was well received and was an almost instant success across a number of viewer metrics, though the series courted significant controversy due to the unique portrayal of certain historical figures. The series would be honored by a number of high-profile awards and nominations over the course of its run.
The success of Five Kingdoms resulted in a slew of side materials such as Records of the Stellar Heroes.
