Thread: The Guilty Crown: Blood for the Thrones

Terminology The Shining Saint A figure of immense righteousness, he is seen to be the visionary of the world, it's creator. Many in his time doubted him as he spread his words of righteousness and submission to 'The Will'. He was murdered, circumfixated upon a brass ring and left to hang. On the 4th Week he rose from his mortal slumber and designated 7 Primarchs to rule the world in his stead, ascending into the heavens while the 7 kingdoms rose into power. Eida, the World-Dragon A Primal who lives deep within the core of the world. Erewa, the planet, will continue to exist as long as this creature breaths. She had been injured by a single Mortal, the future Dragon King-Of-Arms had defeated her with his bare hands and bathed in her blood granting him near Demi-god powers. Kingdoms Britannia The Monarch state of Britannia answers only to the Romantians, a lineage that reaches all the way back to the 1st Disciple, Julius the White Shield. Rich in crops and minerals, the kingdom of Britannia had been tasked to ease tensions amongst her neighbors and was instrumental in establishing the League of Commonwealth. They rule under the guidance of Queen Camilla the 8th, the figurehead of the empire. The principality of Delsbrook is located here, where the story begins. Marsielle A republic who had disposed of their monarch in the bloodless revolution, forced to set aside their past conflicts they joined the League of Commonwealth to stall the growing influence of the Arunafeltz republic and it's allies. Known best for the iron and coal mines within the mountains that guard Mariselle like a mighty fortress, protected by the 3rd Disciple, Vigrade the Stalwart, the current republic swears fealty to Clovis Monteblanc, the president of the Republic. Arawaltz The long-time ally of Marsielle and Arawaltz, the small and peace-loving Kingdom has co-existed with it's neighbors around as a trading route facing the eastern countries. Within its lands lay the countless battlefields fought during the first Scouring, even in times long past the sounds of battle and the roaring of trumpets could be faintly heard there... Szaalanden The city of the Three Peaks, it is a mountain City straddling the great Shelf that divides the Romantic Kingdoms and the Eastern empires. In the past it had been the burial ground of 'Tor-Anlak'Farul' , the dreaded Golden Ark when the Sky fell from the heavens. It was recently annexed by Arunafeltz, holding the Royal family as a hostage to force the country to their will. Isteval The Holy Kingdom of Isteval remains to this day a popular destination for pilgrims eager to witness the seal of the Shining Saint. Deriving it's authority in the name of the Shining Saint, Isteval is the location of the Golden Throne where the 8th Disciple, Schezar the Unyielding is seated, unable to die nor to live. It has vowed to remain Neutral even though 'independent' armies affiliated with Isteval would fight by the side of Arunafeltz. Arunafeltz The belligerent empire of the East, forming an alliance with Drasvadaeina and a secret Pledge from Isteval, they have been aggressively spreading their influence. By claiming that the lands administered by Britannia was actually entrusted to the 4th and closest Disciple to the Shining Saint, Trstaen the Eternal they have justified the aggressive annexation of Szaalanden. Under the rule of Lord Bismarck Ostwalde the Eagle, they slowly expand their territory. Within their domain is housed the Thousand Hall, the dreaded resting place of 'The Lovers'. Drasvadaeina The Kingdom nearest to the outlands, Drasvadaeina has existed as a vanguard against the creatures that exist beyond the civilized world of Erewa. With it's back against an endless expanse of barren waste and hostile creatures eager for human flesh, Drasvadaeina has raised a very powerful army and undergoes a strict regimen of eugenics, breeding only the finest soldiers. The country, under the hand of King Eizabella Lebellont, executes any outsiders in their extreme case of xenophobia. Bronquia Though landlocked between Britannia, Marsielle and Arawaltz, the small principality of Bronquia is indepdent, ruled as a Slave-city by the dreaded Dragon King-Of-Arms. Ruled by a tyrant and a murderer, even soldiers from all countries are hesitant to fight him. With the blood of the World-Dragon coursing in his veins, armed with the protection of a Dragon they march where they please, slaughtering any living being they come across.
