Great Britain

It is a Kingdom found in the British Isles and situated; west of the Demon Realm, across the Strait of Orkney. It is a strong nation of humans that has a powerful armed force and navy.

## Background

It is the successor nation to the Kingdom of Aris. The Kingdom was born after the successful rebellion led by King Ecgberht, The Holy See, House Rose, and House Offrey against Emperor Antosil Copperfield.

After the 20-year civil war, it ruled over the territory of the previous empire. Within the next 400 years, it went on to control the whole of the British Isles.

## Organisational Structure

The nation is governed by the head of the Imperial House of Britain, represented by Queen Elizabeth. It has a feudal monarchy where the ruler does not hold absolute power. The ruler, in turn, governs through the support of the various dukedoms that have sworn allegiance to the crown.

Hence the ruler holds direct control over the regions directly under the crown. The dukedoms that make up the nation; rule with a high degree of autonomy, even supporting private armies loyal to their respective lords.

* Ruler: Vacant
* Adventure Guildmaster: Lakia Johnson

It is a barony situated in Ireland, situated near the Moonyean Forest. It is governed by Baron Barton, for whom the people do not have high regard.
In terms of development, it is the same as Wrexham, but unlike Wrexham, it had a better fortification with walls made of fine stones. This is because the Baron who had accumulated a lot of wealth through taxes was afraid of being robbed and hence had spent a lot of money towards the domain's defence.
The main attractions of the city are the Baron's Mansion, Cathy castle found in the centre of the city, and the Galway Adventure's Guild.
It is also the hometown of Irwin Johnson and the Johnson family.
The city is also the location of the vampire attack originating from the nearby ruins. The army had to be called in for the subjugation and after suffering heavy losses, the high-ranking vampire was finally subjugated.

## Noble Houses of the Kingdom

### Imperial House of Britain

This is the ruling family of Great Britain established by the first king of the empire, King Ecgberht. The house controls the capital city of London. At the time of the rebellion, it commanded an army of 100000 knights. It also has a strong navy, capable of fighting against sea monsters.

The military strength of the house is further boosted with the presence of twelve strong saint-ranked knights together called the Thorn Knights. But the main trump card of the family is its patron saint, the water elemental spirit Edmore. It is on top of its sacred pool that the Imperial Family had built its palace.

The imperial family gives a magical pocket watch to the heirs at the time of their coming-of-age ceremony. The name of the owner is inscribed behind and the watch stops working when the owner dies. At the time of death, it is buried along with its owner.

### House Rose

This is a ducal house and is one of the founding families of Great Britain that had aided King Ecgberht in his rebellion against Emperor Antosil Copperfield. The household governs the region of Wales. For generations, House Rose has been the guardian of the royal family and a vital pillar in its continued existence. Though not as powerful as the Offery Household, it still boosts an incredible army and large fleets of merchant's vessels.

At the time of the rebellion, it fielded an army of 50000 men and once even possessed an armed merchant ship with a magic cannon.

### House Offrey

This is an extinct Ducal household that was the most powerful in the entire empire. It was one of the founding families of Great Britain that had aided King Ecgberht in his rebellion against Emperor Antosil Copperfield. It controls the areas to the north of London.

The family is in the arms business and is the main supplier to the Imperial army. Currently, the house is biding its time and secretly increasing their military strength so that at the slightest sign of weakness from the Queen, they can show their fangs and become the new ruler of the empire.

At the time of the rebellion, the household fielded an army of 100000 men their numbers bolstered with the presence of nine saint-ranked individuals which included the Four Elemental Sword Saints, and the mercenary group called The Black Wolves.  They also possess many magic canons.

Also, as the territory is situated next to the Forest of Demonic Beast, the household owns many unique types of weapons and runestones in its arsenal.

Sadly, with the premature death of its sole heir Luke Offery and the head Grand Duke Offery after the rebellion the household has become extinct. Alos, the victorious Elizabeth successfully took over all the wealth of the Offery family in all aspects and used it for the revival of the imperial capital and the Kingdom.

### House Austin

It is a wealthy Earl household that governs the earldom of Wrexham and is known for having many strong warriors. The house’s overlord is the House of Rose.

Members of House Austin were vampire hunters whose exploits earned them a noble status in Great Britain. The noble tile was bestowed upon them because the ancestor of Earl Austin; was successful in defeating the famous vampire, Grand Duke Dracula. Sadly, the art of hunting vampires has been lost to the family, with the current generation even unaware of their legacy.

What many people do not know about the subjugation of Dracula by the Earl's ancestor was that he could not destroy Dracula's body. When the Earl's Great Grandfather fought the monster, he realised that Dracula was too powerful, hence he decided to sacrifice himself to vanquish him. Sadly, his sacrifice was in vain as Dracula though now weakened, survived the battle, and cursed the bloodline of the Austin Household.

As per the curse, no one in the family will live to be 50 years old. On the day of the member's 50th birthday, the blood will be sucked up overnight without warning, and the body will wither and become an empty shell. Sadly, the family tried everything to break the curse, but neither could they find Dracula to finish him, nor could they expel the curse from them.

Every member of the Austin family is hence born with a fang mark near their neck that grows deeper as they age.

The family possess a beautiful high grade Holy Silver sword used by their ancestors in their fight against the vampires. The sword is said to be forged from sacred silverware soaked in holy water for a whole year. The sword has an unique ability against vampires healing ability, thereby making it ideal to kill them with.

### Johnson Family

It is a famous family in Great Britain, that is known for having given birth to many well-known magicians from generation to generation. Over the years, the Johnson Family has accumulated many books on magic and as such their family house is littered with books on magic.

Sadly, over the years, the family members have hit a roadblock and have become reluctant to improve their magic knowledge. Therefore, Irwin Johnson's birth brings hope for the family to reclaim their lost glory. To prevent his son from hitting the same roadblocks as his ancestors, Laika Johnson made him become an adventure so that the world knowledge he gains will help him improve his magical knowledge.

The secret weapon of the Johnson Family is the Attribute-less Magic Elixir created by Laika Johnson after three years of intense research. It is a potion, of super high concentration of non-attribute magic elements that can increase the speed at which an individual can absorb mana from the surroundings to raise their strength to saint rank. Sadly, one can only increase their strength till saint rank using the potion.

## Power

The power of the Kingdom comes from its large army and navy, along with the military strength of its vassals. Apart from that, the nation's royals are guarded and defended by the Bauhinia Knights and its patron saint.

#### Guardian Deity

The first King of the Empire, King Ecgberht had at some point in time made a contract with a powerful Water Elemental Spirt called Edmore. It was using its strength that the Imperial Family was able to unite the whole of the British Isles under its rule.

The contract stipulated that the spirit would become the patron saint of the Imperial Family and that it would awaken to protect his descendants and the nations from the attacks of demons.

#### Bauhinia Knights

This is a unit of Royal Guards that work in secrecy and only take their orders from the ruler of Great Britain. The Bauhinia Knights are also despatched for investigations and missions considered important to the royal family. There exist twelve strong saint-ranked knights known only to the public as the Thorn Knights.[1]

Attacking a knight of this order is considered an act of treason and only the ruler has the authority to issue an arrest warrant against an active knight.

#### Court Magicians

These are highly skilled red robe-wearing magicians employed by the kingdom. The nations were once able to deploy thousands of them for the subjugation and sealing of the Frost Holy dragon.

#### Armed Force

The fighting force of the nation is made up of the private armies under the various lords that serve the crown.

#### Imperial Navy

Britain has one of the strongest navies in the human realm. Its naval force is capable of even fighting a monster of the saint rank.

## Weakness

#### Corruption

The kingdom is infested with corruption due to which people have started to lose faith in the kingdom's lords and machinery.

#### Weak Monarchy

Being a feudal kingdom, the crown does not have absolute authority over the realm. Hence is forced to bow and act according to the whims of the powerful lords. Due to this reason, there is always a threat of rebellion from the lords.

One way the crown controls the lords is by not letting them gain too much power and influence within the realm. The other, by restricting them from raising a private army above a limit.

#### Divided Army

As the army of the nation is made up of private armies under the lords, there is no uniformity and compatibility among them. Also, the loyalties of the various armies lie towards their respective lords and not to the ruling family. Also, the crown is dependent upon its vassal's armies to fight the threat and internal rebellions.
