Gartlake Kingdom

The **Gartlake Kingdom**  (ガルトレイク王国) is a country located in the northeast part of the Aurelia Continent.

## Geography

The Gartlake Kingdom's territory borders with Haurelia Kingdom, Keltiath Kingdom, Mauricia Kingdom and Nordland Empire.

Gartlake Kingdom was actually a nation that declared independence and separated from Nordland Empire.

## Regions

Orebro’s beast god shrine was deifying the Beast God Zoras. This shrine along with **Altmunt** (アルトムント) Temple at Gartlake Kingdom were called as the Twin Jewel of the Continent.

## History

At the founding of Nordland Empire, the first prince of Nordland fell in love with a local girl while in a military campaign and became the first generation king Frederich I. The prince got defeated at the struggle for inheriting the crown and he extremely hated his little brother the second prince. Because of that he founded Gartlake Kingdom and started invading into Nordland Empire.

### Helsing

More than thirty years ago, the defence line of the empire’s border had a large hole opened in it due to Gartlake Kingdom’s surprise attack. Furthermore even when they tried to fill that hole, the troops necessary for it had moved away because of fake information. One of Gartlake army’s objectives was this Orebro City. This place was a developed mining area and also a supply source of weapons. At the same time it was also where an important beast god shrine was located. If Orebro was occupied, Nordland’s fighting spirit would decline and it should be greatly useful at the negotiation for ceasefire too.

But a single woman overturned the war situation. The woman departed alone from Orebro and attacked the invading army instead. Gartlake army met that interception that they never even dreamed of at Helsingborg Valley.
The fierceness of that attack was like a lightning that fell from the sky. That was the testimony of the soldier who survived that hell.

At first Gartlake Kingdom didn’t believe that report, but according to the investigation that was carried out after that, the fact that the damages were all due to a single woman was substantiated.

After that there was even a rumor that Gartlake took off Orebro as an attack target from their objectives because they feared a single woman.

### Second Antrim War

In the aftermath of the second Antrim war, if Louis hadn't exterminated the bud of insurrection, Haurelia Kingdom would be split among Mauricia, Kenestollard, Mornea, Keltiath, and Gartlake.

### Trystovy's Civil War

The Gartlake Kingdom was shocked with Baldr Cornelius announcement as the legitimate descendant of Trystovy royal family and a beastman. Gartlake’s head shrine maiden Sakuya sent Satsuki to examine Baldr.

#### Kingdom's Counterattack

The Gartlake Kingdom sent 2000 cat-eared tribe beastmen as reinforcement.

### Crusade

While Europa Church proclaimed the crusade, Gartlake remained unaffected by the church’s crusade proclamation because the beastman strong influence.

Unlike the beastman race, it seems the royal family of Nordland and Gatlake find it hard to make the decision to dissolve the war stance at the border.

With the crash of gold price, Sanjuan Kingdom, Nordland Empire, Gartlake Kingdom, Majorca Kingdom, and Trystovy Kingdom have already signed in creating a money draft.

The crown prince of Gartlake couldn’t participate in this ceremony because the faction that was opposing the expansion of the beastman’s influence started interfering with the succession of throne by throwing their lot with the second prince. However the possibility of the crown prince losing was exceedingly low because he was the one in control of the military.

## Population

It was a country with many beastmen living in it and it was known that it had no prejudice toward beastman race just like its neighbour Nordland Empire. The royal family there was endorsing for human and beastman to marry instead. The proportion of beastman in Gartlake’s population was even bigger than Nordland. Gartlake wasn’t one of the successor of the unification dynasty after its break up. Because of that its prejudice toward beastman was weaker than Nordland.

## Foreign Policy

Haurelia Kingdom
They have good relationship with Haurelia. Gartlake Kingdom had maintained a friendly relationship with Haurelia because of their hostile relationship with Mauricia.
Mauricia Kingdom
Gartlake has a hostile relationship with Mauricia.
Nordland Empire
Nordland Empire and Gartlake Kingdom’s relationship was worsening. It had a hostile relationship for many years with its neighbour Nordland Empire. Even now there were often skirmishes concerning Lefthoas Mine that was located at the border. Nordland was in the middle of war with Gartlake even now. The dispute between the two countries about being the legitimate successor of the Norland Empire continued without any hope of compromise. A lot of sacrifices and vast amount of military expenses had been consumed by the war. Both countries couldn’t possibly go ‘as expected this war is wrong’ at this point of time.
Both are showing a cooperative stance, but they had been enemy with each other for so many years. It seems there is some resistance for them to join hand together.
Trystovy Kingdom
