Allward

**Allward** is one of various realms. It is also known as the **Ward**.

## General Information

### History

According to Spindle lore, Allward was a realm of crossing once, subject to great magic and terrible monsters. The mortals of the Ward were warring with dangers they must never face again and that cannot come to pass. Much of Allward used to be under the control of the Cor Empire. It is now known as Old Cor. Descendants of the old empire are described as having Corblood.

### Culture

While each kingdom has its own language, Paramount is the shared language of trade. The mortals of the Ward share the same pantheon of gods and goddesses. Every god in the pantheon has their hand upon on the realm, a chosen mortal who can see their will and speak their words. The dedicant orders serve their gods and their high priests, not kings or queens. The northern continent is not known for its skills in medicine, and it generally seems like the southern continent values education more than the northern continent. According to Sorasa, the north doesn't honor the past like the south does. The common peoples of most kingdoms are free to wed as they choose when it comes to gender. However, a ruling queen, such as Queen Erida, is bound by the need for children.

### Geography

The Long Sea bisects the realm across the middle in a winding ribbon of blue water that stretches between the northern and southern continents. To the west it empties into the Nocturan Ocean. To the southeast it empties into the Auroran Ocean. The Green Lion is a river that connects Galland to Uscora and Trec. The Mountains of the Ward are the "soldier line dividing the green fields of Galland from the northern lands and the steppe." They cut the northern continent in two. To the north of Siscaria is the Corteth Mountains. They're also known as the Corteth, or the Teeth of Cor. They are on the other side of the Impera River, or the Emperor's River. The Impera River winds through the valley, making its way west to Lecorra, Siscaria and the Long Sea. It is the river from which Old Cor had sprung.

Sardos is a small, proud kingdom between Ibal, Kasa, and Niron. They are known for their exports of salt from the Aegir mines and honey. Niron is a small, proud kingdom between Ibal, Kasa, and Sardos. The demonym and language is Nironese. The people tend to have jet-black sin and their soldiers are known for their telltale ebony bows. Calidon is a mountainous kingdom. The Monadhrion and Monadhrian, also called the Star and the Sun, are mountain ranges that mark the kingdom's western border. Calidon keeps to itself, hemmed within its own mountains and deep glens.
