Kingdom of Allegon

—Allegonian Knight's Battlecry

Allegon, the Kingdom of Heroes. Arguably the greatest of the kingdoms of Men that remain, Allegon is the knight in shining armor standing guard against the world's evil. The spark that lit the Great War was with no doubt, the religious revolt in the colonized region of Tylia lead by the Canonist Faith. The revolt lit a fire beneath the throne of the Ilythrian Emperor that could not be put out. The religious devotees, poorly armed and made entirely of peasantry, stormed the Ilythrian fortress that would come to be known as Argourrie Castle. The monolithic fortress almost as large as a city, with towers reaching to the sky, and entire other castles outside its walls to slow attacking armies. The peasant army surprised the defenders, swarming the walls with quickly-made siege ladders. The defenders were startled, for the locals had never fought so fiercely since the Ilythrians had conquered them. Soon, they would learn why. The legendary Lion Knight, an Allegonian hero raised up from common blood to become the Champion of the Creator. He rode with the light behind him, and his lance pierced the gates of the castle. He rode down any in his way, and rode until he reached the seat of Tylia's governor. He surprised all in attendence by sparing the governor's life, despite his crimes, and merely banished him back to his homeland. Tylia was no more, in its place stood the rising power of Allegon, free at last! Although the Lion Knight would later die for the freedom of the world, Allegon would prosper. Its religion spread far and wide, its armies growing large, and its reach larger. Allegon conquered many nations around it and subjected many more, its land waxing and waning before its borders finally settled. Now, Allegon remains the guardian of the lands of Men, a beacon of chivalry and knightly virtue. For honor, for Creator, for Allegon!

### The Lich's Three

The Lich's Three are three islands off the southern coast of Allegon inhabited by the Tavian people and the Lich Vathua who rules them. Only loosely subjects of Allegon and viewed with distrust, for the Tavians commonly employ necromancy.

## Culture

Dining culture

Most of the time, people go to taverns for the social experience and community, getting to know your neighbours, people will be there for hours.  Food takes a while.  Taverns in port cities serve immediate drinks though.

### Heroism

Allegonian culture extolls the virtues of knighthood and chivalry. blah blah. Such ideals are exemplified in the Allegonian concept of Heroism. Heroism was the concept that anyone could perform a Heroic Deed and become a Hero, and thus a member of nobility and the King's Honor Guard. This however, changed after the Herosim Reforms of King Harrien IV.
