Creatures that possess in intelligence are given freedom within the bounds of the Scarlet Kingdom, creatures that are considered mindless or otherwise act without direction are subject to individual scrutiny by the Scarlet Court.

The Scarlet Kingdom is a non-hostile, fully self preservation imposed kingdom with a base alignment of Neutral Evil, although since Cayden Blackmoore assumed leadership of the kingdom, it has opened up diplomatic talks across Siacros. We allow the acquisition and usage of the Undead within the kingdom as well, so long as it doesn't infringe upon individuals freedom.

## History

The Scarlet Kingdom was originally founded by the Vampire King early in the stages of the discovery of the continent of Siacros, and is said to be among the oldest kingdoms on the continent. Although it had been closed off and isolated for a long time, with the absence of the Vampire King a new ruler had emerged and is slowly beginning to open up diplomatic talks. Due to the closed of nature of the kingdom before its current ruler, the Scarlet Kingdom has not been part of any historical events.

## Geography

Located in the south east of Siacros, the Scarlet Kingdom is expanding across a series of isles almost polar in nature. Despite these conditions the land is covered in dense forests in adiition to impressive mountain ranges. Due to natural phenomenons, the central island seems to be somewhat warmer than the surrounding ones, being the only one that is not entirely covered in snow. That being said, temperatures in the Scarlet Kingdom are nonetheless considered low ranging from the highest measured temperature at 15°C in the summer, to the lowest measured temperature of -50°C in the winter and scientists sure that they can dip even lower.

## Cities

#### The Heart

Being the founding city of the Scarlet Kingdom and its capital, The Heart is exactly what its name suggests. Located on the central island of the kingdom, this metropolis is the seat of the Scarlet Court as well as the heart to many operations.

## Places of Interest

#### Twin Obelisks of Rithal

Although not fully investigated, these strange obelisks have been found within the borders of the Scarlet Kingdom. While their use is not known, many mages investigate the area all day and night.

## Military

While the Scarlet Kingdom does not maintain a standing army, it is said that in their time of need, hundred of Undead will rise from their graves to defend it. Laws are enforced not by the military, but by a force of Undead controlled by the Scarlet Court.
