**The Royal Kingdom of Wendesvehr** is an absolute monarchy positioned between the Duchy of Savanti, the Kingdom of Drachva, and the Holy Republic of Drunia on the world of Jeralis. It is a part of the **Pact of Kings**, a coalition between the kingdoms of Drachva, Bharata, and Wendesvehr. They are responsible for the development of the first Arks and the current golden age of Jeralis.

## Society and Government

Like most other kingdoms, the government is headed by the royal family and the head of this family is the supreme leader of the country. In this case, König Geraltese Argalia VI is the supreme leader of Wendesvehr and holds supreme power over the entire country. However, officials generally handle day to day matters that do not concern the royal family.

Their society when compared to others comes off as being rather outdated. Codes of honor and the like exist in their world along with dated practices, such as dueling. Old customs can be attributed to the mentality of "Why change what isn't broken?". The majority of Wendesians have been comfortable with a particular lifestyle picked up in the 1960's JC and the chances of them changing this are low. However, while civilian lives are a blast to the past, the Kingdom's military is very much up to date, as purposefully holding back a military simply cannot be allowed.

## Wendesian Relation to Arks

The first Ark ever created, classification VAT-3R or "Vater", was a Super Dreadnought class Ark that helped fend off Federation forces during the first Drachvan-Federation conflict.

### Nickname

"Father"

> "*I am the steel fist of the König! Mutts of the Federation, behold the decades of Wendesian engineering standing before you, as it will be the last thing some of you will ever see!" - VAT-3R, the first Ark.*

The Kingdom of Wendesvehr is responsible for the creation of the first Ark and the following golden age of Jeralis. The project, code named Project ARK: **Arbeits** **Roboter** für **Krieg** gemacht: **Working Robots** made for **War**. Spearheaded by Doctor Vangarin Du Oustauffen, the project took thirty nine years to produce the first Ark: logically named the Wendesian word for "Father", as many future Arks would be designed after his humanoid form. It is said Father had to be maintained by around four hundred engineers due to how heavily armed he was.

In the modern era, the Wendesian people are responsible for another addition to the field of Ark development: flying Arks. How this has been carried out varies, but most modern models of the kingdom have been more or less flight related.

## Military

The Wendesian military is made up of two branches.

* **The Army of Wendesvehr** - The armed forces of the Kingdom of Wendesvehr. Generally works in conjunction with the air force.
* **The Grand Fleet of Wendesvehr** - The highlight of their military, the Wendesian fleet is a sight to behold.
	+ **Hounds of the König** - A black ops strike team of Ark Pilots that is similar to JSF Nemean.

## Trivia

* Vater's chassis has been shut down, but his rudimentary A.I. has not.
