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. Historical Recreation societies strongly participated in the , and some of the scenes were modeled directly on locations and surviving ships from the period. Extensive battle sequences such as the Second Battle of Sweetwater or the Sixth Battle of Luxor used live maneuvers and recorded data, even contemporary footage, to compose shots.

The first chapter release began on the 6th of November, []14. Surprisingly for a Historical Drama of its scale the presentation focused on a relatively small cast of characters. It was well received and soon became a strong metrical success, though it drew 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.
