Mistral

The Mistral Kingdom is situated on the north-east of Ureron. The country draws inspiration from ancient Scotland and the terrain consists of large, open fields and many mountains. Mistral is the richest country in terms of gold, with most of Ureron's gold coming from their gold mines. Mistrals value strength and bravery, and Mistrals on average tend to be taller than the other countries (though this is not always the case).

The current King of Mistral is King Soren Alderic, with his successor being his general, Noah A. Rhynie. Mistral currently is on good terms with the Kawan Empire, and trade with them regularly. They also trade frequently with the Republic of Tonitrus for their livestock. Mistral's main diet consists mostly of different meats, and they hold banquets and feasts often.

## Hierarchy

Mistral is a monarchy, meaning they are ruled by a King and/or Queen. There can only be one King/Queen at a time, so if the current ruler marries the other will simply become a Prince or Princess instead.

### Kings/Queens & Princes/Princesses

Mistral is ruled by a King/Queen, all children of the monarch are called Princes/Princesses and traditionally are next in line for the throne, though it does happen sometimes where the general becomes next in line instead if the monarch feels their children are not fit for the throne or if they are too young.

### Generals

Generals are the second-in-command of the ruler. They help the current monarch to run the country, and often are the leader of the military. If the current monarch dies with no known heirs, the general is to become the monarch instead. However it is not uncommon for generals to become the monarch even though there are living heirs. This can either happen because the previous King/Queen had announced them to be the next monarch when they were still alive, or if the current heirs are too young; at which point the general only rules until they come of age.

Generals tend to stick around even if the monarch that appointed them dies and gets replaced with an heir, unless they are killed, fired or quit.

### Noblemen & Thanes

Noblemen are rich and powerful members of Mistral. The title of 'noble' is passed down, so most current nobles inherited their money and status rather than earning it themselves. Nobles get involved with politics a lot, and often own and run their own businesses. Whenever a meeting is held, nobles are usually expected to attend so that they can get ahead of any changes or news.

Thanes are a sub-class of nobles, except they earned their title. The title is usually bestowed upon them via the current monarch; and unlike nobility, doesn't get passed on throughout generations. A Thane's children will only be regarded as regular nobles, instead of Thanes. Thanes tend to have more power than ordinary nobles, and are more respected.

## Rulers

### Queen Aluuin Alderic

Aluuin was the ruler before Soren, and was known to be a kind and merciful ruler. She was incredibly skilled in politics and negotiations and was known for being able to prevent wars before they started, and brought Mistral into an era of peace during her rule. She married her general: Soren Alderic, and died during an attack held by a band of magic-users. She was succeeded by Soren as they had no known heirs to inherit the throne.

### King Soren Alderic

Soren became King after the death of Aluuin, as they had no known heirs. King Soren's early rule was a tyrannical one, the mourning King bringing the once peaceful Mistral into many unnecessary wars and battles. Mistral suffered many losses during this time, and the King has since tried to erase this dark age from history.

## Magic

Mistral is the home to air magic, however it is incredibly banned in any shape or form. Magic is seen as dangerous and evil, and being caught using it or being in possession of a relic or infused item will result in imprisonment, a fine, or worse depending on the scale of use. King Soren is heavily against the Undercity, but turns a blind eye to it due to it's positive effect on the Mistralian economy.
