Keyboard Kingdom

The **Keyboard Kingdom**, also known as the **Key Kingdom**, is a kingdom within Orchestria, home to the key people. Its capital, Organ City, is located on Mt. Fortissimo, the highest point in Orchestria.

## Geography

The Keyboard Kingdom's geography is quite rocky, with the south and west sides of the kingdom containing mountain ranges, including the famous Mt. Fortissimo. The mountains give way to the harsh tundras of the Spinet Snowfields, which make up the majority of the central and northern regions. The Spinet Snowfields are occasionally dotted with small forests or lakes, leading to a few towns popping up here or there, but the majority of the population can be found in Organ City atop Mt. Fortissimo. The edges of the kingdom are usually made up of grasslands or mountains.

To the far east of the kingdom lie some hills, plains, and small forests, before eventually ending at the ocean. Many more towns can be found to the east, and most of the crops come from this area, as the tundras are too cold to grow properly, while many areas in the mountains are also unsuitable.

## Political System

Unlike other kingdoms in Orchestria, the Key Kingdom has a diarchy, where there are two royal families. Both of these rulers have absolute power, but traditionally one family is in charge of the foreign policy and the other of home affairs, although this can change during peace time.

Once a royal family dies out, the next one will need to be appointed. Prior to the Brass-Woodwind invasion of the Key Kingdom, this would be done by a council of priests from The Royal Church of the Key Kingdom but post-invasion this was changed to instead be selected by two different methods. The "warrior" family will be selected by a series of duels to the death, the winner will become the next king. The "carer" family will still be selected by priests. It is worth noting that the two families are forbidden from marrying each other, this is to prevent a consolidation of power. The Key Kingdom is also fond of giving honorifics to its kings, queens and dynasties.

### The "Warrior" family

The current "warrior" family is the Glockenspiels. This family is agnatic, meaning descent is tracked through the male line and women are disinherited. The "Warrior" family is called this way because they are expected to be great warriors and men that can protect the kingdom from outsiders. However, the actual effectiveness of this is debated due to the lack of growth the Key Kingdom experiences.

Members of the "Warrior" family often train for their whole lives in order to protect the kingdom, this makes them formidable warriors, but there are too few of them in order to protect the kingdom by themselves. Honorifics for this family tend to be for individuals and refer to combat prowess or style.

### The "Carer" family

The current "carer" family is the Celestas. This is the same dynasty that co-founded the kingdom, as such they are often called "The Elder-family" or "The Eternal Dynasty". This family is enatic, meaning decent is tracked through the female line and men are disinherited. The reason for being called the "carer" family is because, traditionally, this family handles internal affairs. Unlike the "warrior" family, this family is almost universally revered for its incomparable statecraft.

There are many reasons why this family is so revered and effective. One of these is the Library of the Eternal Dynasty, located in Organ City. The library is a vast collection of knowledge from all around Orchestria. Many of the books are written by the Celestas themselves, mostly on statecraft. It is even said there is a book from Raga here, although it has never been seen. The library is used to teach young members of the Celesta dynasty statecraft. The Celesta family also has a long tradition of passing down knowledge between each other.

### Era of Instability

During the Era of Instability, the diarchy was overthrown. After the Brass-Woodwind invasion of the kingdom, the key people believed that the "Warrior" family failed to protect the kingdom without the String Kingdom and Percussion Kingdom's help. This caused a general uprising, that the kingdom, still recovering from the invasion, could not stop.

Once the uprising was successful, they installed Queen Celesta Vlll as sole monarch of the Key Kingdom, while King Glockenspiel II went into exile in the Percussion Kingdom. Queen Celesta VIII "The Warrior Queen" took no action against the king as he was leaving and even expressed sympathy to him. She oversaw the rebuilding of the nation and was widely popular.

When King Glockenspiel III returned to the kingdom in an attempt to begin a rebellion, Queen Celesta VIII welcomed him with open arms and restored the diarchy. The people, now believing the lack of growth was due to not having a "warrior" family, accepted this change and the Era of Instability ended for the Key Kingdom.

## Culture

Unlike other cultures, Key culture has changed a lot over time, mostly due to the influence of other kingdoms.

In the first Stanza, key culture emphasized pacifism and was heavily linked with The Royal Church of the Key Kingdom. This was shown by the lack of wars in the region. As the Key Kingdom left others alone, the other kingdoms mostly left them alone.

After the Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom's invasion of the Key Kingdom, the culture shifted this time to one of armed neutrality, with exceptions made for revenge. Once again this reflected by the Key Kingdom's foreign policy.

Just before the Great War, the String Kingdom had a large amount of influence on Key culture, making it more similar to the string culture of unity.

## History

By 1S 0, the Key Kingdom was founded by King Organ I "The Wolf" and Queen Celesta I "Eternal Flame". According to legend, both monarchs came from across the sea, but the legitimacy of this claim is doubted among historians. These two monarchs founded Organ City. King Organ l, wanting fame, claimed the city should be named after him. Queen Celesta l, not wanting to start conflict, agreed. The city still serves as the capital to this day, and the Celesta family is ironically more famous than the Organs. Once the diarchy system was set up, the kingdom began its expansion into Orchestria.

### First Stanza

#### Initial expansion

The kingdom expanded quickly, and it encountered the Percussion Kingdom, in 1S 25. Relations were cordial. At this time the Key Kingdom were devout pacifists and respected the Percussion Kingdom's territory. Under the Organs the kingdom flourished, population was growing quickly and the amount of territory was acceptable. However, territorial growth ceased in 1S 167, when King Organ III died with no heir, this led The Royal Church of the Key Kingdom to appoint King Melodica I to the throne.

#### Three Nation Alliance

However, this peace was not to last. In 1S 424, King Melodica V died with no heir and King Glockenspiel I was appointed, despite being of Percussion blood, which angered much of the Key people, especially the Piano Family. Just days later, the Woodwind Kingdom and Brass Kingdom invaded the Key Kingdom. Not being prepared, this invasion was disastrous for the Key Kingdom, with Queen Celesta VII "The Peace Maker", traveling to the Percussion Kingdom and String Kingdom to appeal for help, and the king being killed in battle, leaving the throne to the young King Glockenspiel II "The Revenger". Organ City was besieged, with the young Princess Celesta VIII leading the defense.

The Queen's plea for assistance did not fall on deaf ears, and in 1S 425, the Three Nation Alliance was formed between the String Kingdom, Percussion Kingdom and the Key Kingdom. The combined armies marched to Mt. Fortissimo to relieve the siege. Once the reinforcing army was within sight, the gates of Organ City opened. Hoping to capture the walls and use them against the new army, the Woodwind Kingdom's and Brass Kingdom's troops rushed into the open gate to find three barricades made in the streets, they assaulted them but while they were busy the reinforcing army sped up to double time in an attempt to prevent them from capturing the walls. When they arrived at the gate they found the entire Brass-Woodwind army still fighting at the barricades. The entire army charged into the small gate, trapping the Brass-Woodwind army. Small pockets managed to fight their way out of the trap, including both kings of the Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom. Most were killed and all the prisoners were ransomed back to the southern kingdoms. This battle ended the war and the Three Nation Alliance disbanded. A notable casualty would be Queen Celesta VII "The Peace Maker", who died due to an arrow to the chest, her body was found after the battle and she was given a funeral immediately.

##### Peace treaty

The peace treaty was a controversial one among the Key Kingdom's people since very little changed. No land was exchanged and only reparations were given. But due to the Percussion Kingdom and String Kingdom's power, relative the Key Kingdom, and their wish to preserve the balance of power, they were forced to accept it. This caused widespread discontent and blaming the Glockenspiels for not protecting the kingdom without the Percussion Kingdom and String Kingdom's help, and in 1S 426, they began the Era of Instability within the Key Kingdom.

#### Era of Instability

In 2S 0, due to the outrage caused by the Three Nation Alliance's war alongside the Piano Family's spreading of rumors, the people rebelled and ousted King Glockenspiel II, who went into exile in the Percussion Kingdom and later died there after creating what would be later known as the Triangle Ruins. The people installed Queen Celesta VIII "The Warrior Queen" as sole monarch of the Key Kingdom. She gained her honorific via her defense of Mt. Fortissimo, which made her a revered character throughout the Key Kingdom. Queen Celesta VIII also gained a reputation for being honorable, as she expressed sympathy to King Glockenspiel II's flight and made no attempt to stop him from leaving. The few remaining members of his family were still allowed at court and were given places of honor as advisors. This marked the end of the Era of Instability in the Key Kingdom, although it was quick its effects continued to be felt for years to come. For example, this event caused the Glockenspiels to support the Percussion Kingdom, whereas the Celestas still supported the String Kingdom.

### Second Stanza

#### The reign of Queen Celesta VIII "The Warrior Queen"

Queen Celesta VIII, oversaw the rebuilding of the kingdom and instituted many reforms, most notably to to the Key Kingdom's military in 2S 9, formerly a poorly equipped defense force, it was reformed into an entity that could go on the offensive, although it wasn't planned to be used this way. Due to the invasion, the Key Kingdom were no longer pacifists and instead pursued a policy of armed neutrality. Meanwhile, the Psychic Pianist of the Piano Family traveled to Fortepiano Forge in the Spinet Snowfields to create a weapon capable of destroying armies, as revenge for the war and the outrageous peace treaty.

Just a year later, in her quest to reform the military, Queen Celesta VIII sought to pursue more... modern solutions. The Queen believed that the only way to truly hold a candle to the armies around them was to not only create a weapon strong enough to defeat them, but also one that was so far beyond their levels of modernization that it would be centuries before they could ever hope to contend with it. It was this belief that lead to the beginning of the Key Kingdom's truest leap into the future, artificial life. In 2S 10, Queen Celesta VIII greenlit the creation of the first ever Synthesizer Sentinel.

Queen Celesta VIII was also known for being a wise ruler and spending much of her time in the Library of the Eternal Dynasty, always seeking to expand her knowledge. She was, and still is, seen as a just ruler who protected the kingdom in its time of need. At this time, public opinion began to shift again, the lack of growth the kingdom enjoyed made people think that the lack of the "warrior" family was causing it.

Once King Glockenspiel II's son, Glockenspiel III "The Chivalrous", returned to the Key Kingdom in 2S 20, to start a rebellion in order to re-instate the diarchy, Queen Celesta VIII welcomed him with open arms and willingly re-instated the diarchy.

Though it took many years and even more trials and tribulations, eventually in 2S 24, Keyboard Sentinel was "born." The beast stood many feet above even the tallest of warriors and easily rivalled them tenfold in strength. Upon seeing this, King Glockenspiel III was horrified. He believed that life was meant to be made by gods and not man, believing this to be an affront to all things holy. This was something they could not agree on, with the Queen believing this was the first true leap of Key kind, finally having the upper-hand in conflict, never needing to stand on the back foot from then on.

Despite the King's worries, she eventually greenlit further studying and improvements to be done on Keyboard Sentinel, as well as further creation of more Sentinels.

#### Piano Family Attempts to Overthrow

In 2S 29, the Psychic Pianist returned from Fortepiano Forge with the Royal Noteblade, a weapon that could cripple armies with its boomburst effect. He was outraged to see that the Glockenspiels had returned from exile, and hatched a plan with the Piano Family to seize power of the kingdom. In 2S 30, the Piano Family used the Royal Noteblade in Organ City, killing thousands, including King Glockenspiel lll, and destroyed many buildings. The majority of the Piano Family was eventually killed by the Keyboard Military, and the Psychic Pianist fled. The Royal Noteblade was captured by King Glockenspiel IV "The Crusader," with preparation to wield it in the next battle they should face.

#### **The Rise of the Synthesizer Sentinels**

Eventually, 4 more sentinels were created. In 2S 30, Keytar Sentinel and Subwoofer Sentinel, and, in 2S 32, Gramophone Sentinel and Tape Recorder Sentinel. As time went on, these Synthesizer Sentinels began to think more clearly. In 2S 37, they established their own hivemind network in which they could communicate and track each other from long distances called The Synthesizer Network. Eventually, they even invented even their own god. The Vocaloid.

The Sentinels believed that within the Synthesizer Network existed a 6th being called the Vocaloid. They also believed that this being would provide for the world true beauty by gifting unto it its own instrumentation called "Voice." However, the world was too imperfect for this gift. There would always be "human" error when it came to all the other instruments. And so, in order to provide for the Vocaloid the purest and most harmonic of Orchestras, they sought to slaughter all organic instruments, so that they do not sully her perfect beauty and song.

For this they needed planning however, and so they bided their time and waited for yet another moment of instability in the throne to enact their plan.

#### **The reign of Queen Celesta X "The Undying Queen"**

*"Eventually, even some of the grandest rulers must soon pass." -Excerpt from Queen Celesta VIII's funeral*

In 2S 43, The Warrior Queen passed at the age of 65. This fall rang much sorrow throughout the Key Kingdom. Eventually however, her eldest of 2 sisters took the throne, becoming Queen Celesta IX "The Beloved Queen." However, this reign was very short lived as the deep seeded plan of the Synthesizer Sentinels caught up to her only 3 years later in 2S 46, and, in a valiant fight, she was slain by the very beasts her own sister allowed into being. So too was King Glockenspiel IV, who attempted to use the Royal Noteblade to fend off the Sentinels, with some success, however, the Sentinels quickly disarmed him, making him an easy victim.

Following this terrible demise, the final of the 3 sisters, of only 16 years, is appointed as a figurehead Queen until she fully comes of age. Meanwhile, King Glockenspiel V "The Valiant", cousin to King Glockenspiel IV, is too forced to take charge. His first act as King, only but a few weeks upon taking the throne occurs in 2S 47, in which he signals "The Great Deletion." The Great Deletion was a massive procedure in which the entire Key Kingdom Military rounded up the Synthesizers and ensnared them in a tomb, forever disabled. Though they were unable to recover Keytar Sentinel, after the disabling process they heard much less tales of a rampaging beast terrorizing innocents.

In the same year, King Glockenspiel V, in fear that the use of the Royal Noteblade might lead to a similar result as the Synthesizer Sentinels, locked it away in what would come to be The National Keyboard Museum.

The reign of Queen Celesta X "The Undying Queen" was the longest out of any monarch in the Key Kingdom, and even Orchestria, by far, lasting 102 years, or 104 if you consider the time she spent as just a figurehead Queen, and concluding in 2S 150, when she fell to natural causes at age 120, being succeeded by her great granddaughter, Queen Celesta XI.

#### Rise of the Raven King

King Glockenspiel VIII was born in 2S 173 only 9 and 4 years behind his brothers. Their father was the king at the time, namely, King Glockenspiel VI 'The Eagle." His father got the title due to his rank of "Eagle Major" in the Keyboard Military prior to ruling. The Eagle was a "tough but fair" kind of father, often treating his children much like soldiers. He strongly urged his sons to take part in the military, much like himself, and the 2 elder sons followed this advice. Glockenspiel VIII however sought to involve himself more in merriment and exploration. He was instilled with a deep curiosity about the world around him and sought to learn as much as he could. This curiosity was not well respected by his father, often believing he would never make a successful ruler.

#### Invasion of Brass and Woodwind Kingdoms

In 2S 183, King Glockenspiel VI "The Eagle" finally decided it was time to get revenge for the invasion of the Key Kingdom, years ago. The king made an alliance with the String Kingdom and invaded the Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom. This war went well for the Key-String alliance and they penetrated deep into Woodwind territory. In 2S 184, the armies met at Harpsichord pass and a close defeat for the Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom. The String Kingdom annexed most of the Woodwind's northern lands, while once again the Key Kingdom gained little. This, once again, caused public opinion to shift against the String Kingdom and an open revolt was narrowly avoided after a speech given by Queen Celesta XI.

The Eagle's other sons were greatly prospering and in 2S 193, his eldest son got the rank of "Falcon Major" which was just 2 steps below "General Major," the highest rank in the Keyboard Military. For this, the Eagle finally granted his eldest son with the name "Falcon," and threw him a party to celebrate. Meanwhile, Glockenspiel VIII was off on a sabbatical in the Woodwind Kingdom. His other son, who never got a name, though Glockenspiel VIII would often call him Sparrow, was still climbing the military ranks, still stuck at foot soldier levels.

In 2S 199, The Eagle resigned, hoping to live his final days watching his greatest son lead his kingdom. This of course meant that Falcon was appointed as King Glockenspiel VII.

#### Great War

Due to the expanding String soft power and increasing String influence, in 2S 199, every nation formed the Alliance for String Containment (ASC) and declared war on the String Kingdom, causing the Great War. The ASC split into two armies. The Percussion Kingdom's troops joined the Keys and marched through the Kettledrum Outlands, while the Brass Kingdom's and Woodwind Kingdom's troops marched towards Lentando Lagoon. The ASC caught the small string garrison in the Kettledrum Outlands by surprise and easily broke through. The String Kingdom responded quickly and began mustering their army north of the Mezzo Plateau.

##### Battle of Tremoloa hill

In 2S 200, the Key-Percussion army exited the Mezzo Plateau they met with the String army encamped on a hill. Both sides deployed and prepared for battle. Due to a disagreement with the percussion and key generals, the percussion troops advanced without keyboard support. They attacked the String army's right flank, hoping to collapse it before reinforcements arrived. The string right flank retreated a short distance, giving time for the string center to reinforce the right, leaving the left to guard against the stationary keyboard army. This meant that the percussion troops were surrounded on three sides, the situation was unwinnable, but regardless the percussion troops proved their reputation as formidable fighters and held their ground. The keyboard units finally saw their chance and attacked the string left flank. After heavy fighting, the string left flank was routed. Seeing this, the string army retreated, denying the Percussion Kingdom and Key Kingdom the decisive victory they wanted.

During this battle the middle brother of King Glockenspiel VII and Glockenspiel VIII died fighting for his kingdom.

##### Skirmishes

In 2S 201, the String Kingdom employed hit and run tactics and fought multiple skirmishes similar to the Battle of Tremoloa hill, being defeated but ultimately never losing their army. This slowed the ASC armies and they were slowly worn down. The Brass-Woodwind army preferred to damage the String Kingdom as much as possible by pillaging the land they entered, successfully rallying the southern strings to use guerilla tactics, sabotaging the supply lines. This was countered by the Brass Kingdom as they diverted a detachment of units to protect the supply lines. The Percussion-Key army preferred to use a more honorable form of warfare, where conquered land was treated with respect, even more so if they fought back.

Both armies turned north towards the String Kingdom's capital of Stradivarius. They merged south of the city, while the String Kingdom's army sallied forth and chose their place of battle.

At some point, an unknown assailant had assassinated the Ex-King Glockenspiel VI "The Eagle." This, combined with the loss of his middle brother, inspired Glockenspiel VIII to join the military, in hopes that if he were to become king, perhaps he could make it better. Despite what his remaining family wanted for him, he chose to be a Harpsichord Healer, in hopes that he could mend those who needed him.

##### The Battle of Harp River

The String Kingdom chose a plot of land near the Harp River, forcing the ASC to cross it if they wished to attack. The river is in a valley and so the wooded hills on either side of the river severely slows flanking maneuvers. They had picked their place well and when the ASC army approached they paused.

Once the plan was decided the Brass Kingdom's troops made two wedges on the left flank, the Woodwind Kingdom would form two more wedges in the center and the Key Kingdom would form a standard shield wall on the right. This was to prevent the String's left from being pushed too far back, since the Percussion Kingdom's troops were sent to climb the hill to the right and to flank the String Kingdom's army. If the string left was pushed too far back the percussion troops may not be able to flank the strings because of the rough terrain slowing their movements.

When the percussion troops were half way across the hill, the rest of the ASC army advanced. As the troops stumbled through the river the String Kingdom's units charged them. This assault killed many ASC soldiers but once the alliance's troops regained their footing they began to push back. Slowly, the String Kingdom's units were giving ground, except for the string right. This was because the Key Kingdom's units were only in a standard shield wall and were not trying to push.

As the battle became a stalemate, the percussion units descended from the hill undetected due to the forest. They slammed into the string left and trapped them, killing almost all of them. This caused string morale to plummet, some units attempted to flee while others fought, as chaos reigned in the String Kingdom's army.

Thoroughly humbled by the result of the battle, King Cello IV began negotiations.

##### Peace treaty

The Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom argued for large land concessions in center of Orchestria, but the Percussion Kingdom and Key Kingdom argued that the String Kingdom should instead have minimal land concessions and instead limit their diplomatic abilities. The Key kingdom hoped to keep a strong ally doing this, while the Percussion Kingdom were afraid of the Brass and Woodwind Kingdoms and wanted to preserve the balance of power.

Eventually, the Percussion Kingdom and Key Kingdom won the argument and the Brass Kingdom and Woodwind Kingdom begrudgingly signed the treaty. This marked the last time the kingdoms of Orchestria were united and the end of the second Stanza.

The Key Kingdom's wish of keeping an ally of the String Kingdom does not mean Key opinions on the String Kingdom were friendly. The Great War ruined the Key's opinions on the String Kingdom and they saw it as an alliance of necessity. It didn't help that the Celestas decided to being supporting the Percussion Kingdom again.

### Third Stanza

The beginning of the third Stanza was peaceful, mostly due to every kingdom licking their wounds after the Great War.

#### The Reign of King Glockenspiel VIII "The Raven"

During his time as a field medic, Glockenspiel VIII began to see a need arise among his people; prosthetics. And so, in 3S 4, he brought the problem to the attention of King Glockenspiel VII, hoping he would understand. Thankfully he did, and The Falcon agreed to put some of the kingdom's resources into cybernetics.

In 3S 17, Glockenspiel VIII agreed to be a test subject in for this project and, though it took many years to adjust, he now had 6 arms with which to fight.

In 3S 22, his brother was assassinated by a diplomat from the Woodwind Kingdom and he, whether he liked it or not, was now King.

One of his first actions as king, inspired by the assassinations of both his brother and father, was to crack down on internal defense of the **Key Kingdom**. He did this by instituting patrol parties of both Piano Warriors and Grand Piano Warriors which were sent out to capture any outsiders and bring them straight to both him and the Queen to be questioned. Though this choice did get pushback, it did work over the few years, successfully stopping many assassination attempts.

In 3S 26, King Glockenspiel VIII had a child, whom he actually gave a name to upon birth, something never before seen in the Glockenspiel lineage. He named his son Sparrow Glockenspiel IX, in reference to the nickname he had for his middle brother.

#### The Tuba Wars

Just a few months later, in 3S 27, the Brass Kingdom would subjugate the Woodwind Kingdom and in 3S 35, they began the Tuba Wars.

In response to this, after Queen Celesta XIV was reminded of the old powerhouses they once owned, with the knowledge of their viciousness being lost to time. And so, in 3S 45, her, alongside King Glockenspiel VIII "The Raven," reawakened the Synthesizer Sentinels in hopes to use them against the Brass Empire.
