Valenthia

**Valenthia** is a fabled country rich in magic, diversity, sorcery, life, and redemption. As a result of their so-called "Demon Wars," in which their soldiers, warriors, and knights are supposed to have fought horned, supernatural beings, and as a result, the lands are strongly split into regions, with noble houses possessing each. Unfortunately, the country was doomed to fall and in spite of a new era, Valenthia has remained stagnant in the world stage amidst rebuilding efforts.

It is home to some notable warriors that have been drafted by PROJECT.

## Overview

Historians of the country Valenthia claimed that it has roots go all the way back to the time of the Ancients, when dragons and gryphons still roamed the skies and hunted the lands. It is incorrect, but one thing is certain: it is a nation that has endured for centuries.

Considered by many to be a bastion of civilisation, it has always been host to the latest technological advancements, benefitting from aqueducts, sewer systems and protected roadways. Its placement, a temperate landscape between the Kenashi mountains and deserts of the Tushken, has also made it a trade hub, spurring its economic growth and encouraging cultural diversity. It has also ties with House Aerus from the Aries region, House Crenister as well.

Like most civilizations with an overabundance of wealth, however, it is not without its problems. A long line rulers with mad ambitions drew the kingdom into wars and battles it had no place starting. Tensions born from these battles often survived, fueling further hate and prejudice where there might otherwise be peace.

Conflicts between Valenthia and the Tushken go back as far as anyone from either culture can remember, its origins forgotten but the anger still felt. The culmination of such tensions most recently came to a head between the Tushken and Valenthia, sparking a war that resulted in the near-destruction of the Tushken people.

It was only a matter of time before the madness of Valenthia's rulers would lead to its downfall. The last king, King Leandro, sparked the Demon War, effectively ending the long line of successors and bringing the entire land to its knees. If not for the intervention of the spirit-kissed hero, it might have been the end of the entire realm. But while the demons were stopped, the collapse of the kingdom continued, and its survival now rests in the hands of those that remain...

In the 30th and 31st century, Valenthia barely changed. It still has a primitive technology by most standards, but the nation is unusually peaceful and joyful unlike a thousand years ago. This also reflects to the current days of Nordival, Avarshi and Losteria, still having technology, infrastructure and industrial levels on par with their early days, having minimal difference at all. After the *PROJECT-G/NEX War* however, Valenthia seemed to have embraced the use of advanced technology in lieu with the Iceborns.

Valenthians have a wide variety of accents. From Panamoan, Monterissan, Aryan and Evalkan accents. They are extremely varied due to the nation's xenophilic culture and cultural diversity among all of their beloved people on the entire country.

## Trivia

### General

* Valenthians value honour, justice and dignity. However, they are notably racist and self-righteous as they overstayed their welcome.
* Valenthians embrace magic, with the exception of those living in Wonder City, where they are notorious for being racist and discriminating against mages.
* They hate the Nordics throughout. Ironically, the Nordics treat their citizens better and has lesser war crimes.
* They are not open to future technology, which explained their still-primitive advancements in *Dawn of Era: An Uprising*.

### Developmental Notes

* The only difference between ancient and future Valenthia is that it has been polluted with futuristic architecture in select areas.
* Valenthia has some similarities to the Panamoan Republic, such as their militarism, values of honour and their proud military history. The jarring difference is that they are extremely racist and indiscriminate to mages after the Demon War, and the fact they have caused war crimes that even surpass those of Nordival.
* Valenthia's remaining warriors nowadays are Archibald, Brienne, Flavius and Fiona.
* Valenthia once attempted to invade Avarshi. They only succeeded, partially.
