Whitoper

**Whitoper** is known as the **true forest nation** to some, describing the lands rich forests spreading across their many rivers. This has drawn a large population of mixed races, thus there are many cultures.

Nonetheless, Whitoper remains as a monarchy though has had many lineage changes as many rulers are unlucky and unable to produce airs before their demise. Queen Elviel was lucky however, producing a son, Thomas, before her untimely death.

## Military

While Thomas himself tries to avoid any military conflict, Whitoper still has a standing army. The army is one of the most diverse in all of Alrec, holding many different races and humanoids from different backgrounds. They also have a habit of using different creatures they have found in the forests in order to help gain them victory on the battlefield.

### Leadership

The leadership of Whitoper's standing military has been handed to Thomas's elder brother Osword. Osword had no interest in the throne, thus passed it on to his better suited brother, rather Osword has more keen interest in military affairs. He is the final say on any military endevours and strategies though has employed a group of keen people around him to help advise.

Osward has managed to win several conflicts with some invading Orcs and has proved himself in fighting, showing prowess when it comes to dueling.

Needing to move quickly, Whitoper's Monarch and his Advisors bought help from Aral whom began raiding the coasts of Sula. As the raiding began Whitoper raised a small force to confront the Sula raiding parties.

Sula, attempting to buy of the Aral raiding parties were quickly confronted by the Whitoper force.
