Alletain

## Territory

The territory of the Kingdom of Alletain covers all the lands on the island of DioField inhabited by humans. It is divided into five territorial subdivisions named after their location:

Central Field, fertile and home to the kingdom's capital, is located in the centre of the island.

The North Field is the poorest territory, with a particularly cold climate and where the inhabitants live mainly from livestock, hunting, trade and timber. The Church of Granvell has great power in the region, which is home to its headquarters and where the inhabitants are particularly loyal.

The East Field is an area with a mild climate, the main activity of which comes from fishing on its coasts housing many small villages. The area is also home to the naval base of Teggaria, a powerful coastal fortress defending the island from invasions from the mainland.

The South Field is a rich region, where many noble houses where Alliance merchants have estates to devote themselves to diplomacy and trade. The climate is temperate and the region thrives thanks to its fishing industry, trade thanks to the large commercial port of Daglund, and has several fruit crops that benefit from the climate.

The West Field is a rural area covered with fields and dairy farms. It also has many meadows dedicated to the breeding of horses and cattle.

The Frontier, which covers almost a quarter of the island’s total area, is a particularly rough area. The climate is harsh, with tundra, dense forests and active volcanoes. To make matters worse, there are also, because of the presence of important Jade deposits, many monsters and Hybrids that create an ecosystem that ruined Alletain’s attempts to colonize the territory.

## Capital

Hodlam: the capital of the Kingdom of Alletain, located in Central Field. It houses the home of many nobles wishing to remain close to power, as well as the castle of Rosslia, the home of the royal family and the seat of government. The city is also surrounded by large slums where many poor people gather. The latter are normally assisted by the government, which distributes food in slums and looks after orphans.

## City

Yulden: Located in the West Field, Yulden is the largest and richest city in the territory. It is located on the largest commercial road that crosses the island, starting in East Field and cutting in half the Central Field.

Daglund: Located in the southeast of the South Field, Daglund Harbour is the largest commercial port on the island of DioField and the Kingdom of Alletain. The noble families and merchant houses of the kingdom pass through this port to trade with their main partners of the continent, the three major members of the Rowetale Alliance: Vherma, Alouge and Porrand.

Leamere: A thriving and vibrant North Field town, located on the road leading to Haleg Lyn, the seat of the Granvell Church. The city mainly serves as a residence for the servants of Haleg Lyn and the faithful of the Eglygia, it also welcomes many pilgrims going there.

Tower of Beasel: An old ruined tower located in the Graives Basin, a mountainous area bordering the territories of West Field and Central Field.

## Castles

Teggaria Naval Base: A powerful fortress overlooking the eastern coast of DioField and belonging to the kingdom of Alletain. The eastern coast has only a few places to land on the island, which is why the Kingdom had this naval base built. It is heavily armed, equipped with thick walls and many artillery turrets, the base also hosts several warships.

High Temple of Haleg Lyn: a veritable imposing and majestic fortress located in the mountains of the North Field, the Temple is the seat of the Church of Granvell and serves as the residence of the Archbishop directing the church as well as some priests and especially the order of the Templars, the armed arm of the Church comprising warriors, knights and magicians.

Rosslia Castle: The residence of the royal family which also serves as the seat of the government of Alletain. Located along the river Rosslia, the castle is particularly easy to defend.

## Troops

The Kingdom of Alletain is an ancient kingdom where the traditional values of nobility and chivalry are particularly strong, but there is also a strong tradition of mercenarism which provides the kingdom with a considerable number of mercenaries, who can become brigands. Another peculiarity of the Alletanians compared to the humans of the continent is their ability to use ancestral sorcery, i.e. magic.

In addition to the royal army, each noble house maintains armed troops of varying sizes at its own expense.

Among the most common types of fighters are warriors equipped with two-handed axes or a sword and a shield. There are also archers and light horsemen.

Some troops, especially those serving great nobles, also have knights, either on foot or mounted, equipped with a spear or sword and shield.

Finally, there are other troops specific to the people of Alletain, the mages. Using scepters to channel their powers and spells, they use ancestral sorcery specific to the island's culture.

Finally, some of the nobles use Gigas as mercenary troops, similar to those of the Empire.

The Templars, the armed arm of the Church of Granvell, are also made up of mounted Knights on foot and Magi, all wearing white armor or robes to signify their membership in this army in the exclusive service of the church.

## Alliance

The kingdom does not really have any allies, especially given the political context of the continent of Rowetale with the open war between the Empire and the Alliance. Nevertheless, several of the countries making up the Alliance, notably Vherma, have commercial links with Alletain and the political ideology of democracy penetrates the island of DioField through regular contacts between the noble and merchant houses of South FIeld and the countries of the Alliance.

## Enemy

The Kingdom of Alletain is trying to be totally neutral about the conflict between the Alliance and the Empire. However the fact that the island of DioField is a land particularly rich in Jade deposits, indispensable for the use of modern magic, makes that the neutrality of Alletain is increasingly compromised, Whether it is the Alliance scheming to see a democratic government overthrow the royal power, or the Empire, which would not hesitate to attempt an invasion of the island to seize it.
