Primedale Kingdom

The **Primedale Kingdom** is one of the four kingdoms situated on the continent of Mystopia, founded by Ringo Treble. It is currently ruled by Queen Tafini Treble, with only one potential heir to the throne, Silver II.

Primedale is known for being a very secretive kingdom. Surrounded by curved, iron walls, the citizens of Primedale are kept isolated from the other Mystopians. Primedalians also lack personalities; being creative, smart, or outgoing, is frowned upon, and in some cases even punishable.

In Year 700, thirty-five years before Book 1: From the Darkness, Primedale officially halted all trade with the neighbouring countries, as a result of too many Primedalians managing to escape and Tafini's own anger at her sister's betrayal, who stayed in Moonglade for years when she was supposed to return. Since then, the number of Primedalian escapees became greatly reduced, dwindling down to only a few dozen every few years. The last known Primedalians to have managed to sucessfully escape had been Viniya and Clarson, in Year 713. (Note: Coral and Kivello did escape in Year 730 for the first time, but had to return)

## Citizens

#### Personality

Almost all the citizens of Primedale are walking corpses, emotionless and blank.

#### Names

Primedalians are organized by multi-digit numbers branded in three areas of their bodies: their forearms, their ankles, and the back of their necks. The numbers increase as the human grows older.

Secretly, the Primedalians also have a unique name, though Primedalian authorities only use the ID numbers. unique names are also only used by the officials of the Primedalian government, as a way to distinguish themselves from the commoners.

## Rulers

In the Primedale Kingdom, the royal family live and rule from within Prime Tower.

When it comes to leadership, the crown passes down to the eldest heir, regardless of age, *only* when the current ruler is deceased.

## History

**WARNING!** You have reached a section that contains major spoilers about **the Primedale Walls**. The spoilers will be revealed if you click on *"expand"* down below. Please proceed at your own risk!

The citizens of the Primedale Kingdom are known for being confined within a wall. The reasoning behind keeping the wall and not tearing it down has evolved over the years.
At first, back during the reign of founder Ringo, the wall was created so Ringo, who was loosing followers at the time, could keep all his citizens inside and under close watch. He had been known to be an orderly perfectionist, and within the walls, he could confine his people and keep them organized, without the other three kingdoms interfering or his people escaping. He thought he was doing it for the better of his people, especially since he claimed he was protecting them from wild creatures.
As the years went by, more Primedalians started escaping, and the reasoning for keeping the walls up began being questioned. At one point, long-time ruler Queen Tafini did consider tearing them down, but her sister's betrayal made her only more sure that the outside world was corrupt and consuming.
Then, Silverstriker entered the picture. Under the supervision of Tafini, he began experimenting on Primedalian citizens; since they had virtually no personality, majority of the test subjects did not protest. The walls stayed up because, after experimenting on the test subjects, they were discreetly released back to the public. The walls served as a way to keep the test subjects inside.
Silverstriker's main goal was to harness exsisting powers which were exclusive to certain circumstances and find a way to give them to common humans. He focused mainly on three different types of powers: communicating with animals (derived from the Treble Heirloom of Parlo, which allows communication between animals), visiting memories of others (inspired by dragon Mind Powers), and invisibilty (a Primehorn power).
