Olmaria is a country in northern Venecivia. It is bordered by Ralmia to the south and the ocean from all other sides.

Olmaria is covered almost entirely by mountains and taiga forest. It has very cold winters and cool summers.

Sorcerers in Olmaria are the ruling class. They have powers over the air and wind, and most Highborn have powers over pure magical energy, a trait unique to them.

## System of Government

Olmaria is ruled by three Highborn families - the House of Ambrogio, the House of Gryffon and the House of Arrowood. The leaders of each House - who are chosen by the previous leader - form the Olmarian Highborn Council, and they vote on all laws for the country. The most important decisions, such as declaring war on another country, must be decided unanimously.

The leader of House Ambrogio was Auden Ambrogio, but he and his wife were allegedly murdered by his brother, who was the leader of the notorious sorcerer terrorist group, the Guild of Crows. Their three children, Edric, Amilyn and Raina, are currently missing, and the mystery is yet to be fully solved.

House Gryffon is led by Cuthbert Gryffon, who came to power two years ago when his father was assassinated. Young and inexperienced, many nobles have speculated that others on the council were taking advantage of him for their own gain. He has no children.

The leader of House Arrowood is a young woman by the name of Gleda Arrowood. Charismatic and intelligent, she is popular among her subjects. Her daughter Osma was born last year.

## Major Historical Events

The most important event in Olmarian History is the Olmarian Conquest and Revolution. At the time, Olmaria was ruled by the young and inexperienced sorcerers King Finnean and Queen Riona. The Glacianan king, Oscar I, had his sights set on conquering the country, and now seemed a good time. With their special weapons designed to repel magical energy, Oscar’s soldiers defeated the Olmarians with ease, and both Finnean and Riona were killed. Oscar appointed his second child, Prince Leofric, Supreme Governor of Olmaria.

But in 4936 EM (561 AP), the Olmarians had had enough. A rebellion led by sorcerers Thora Ambrogio, Randolf Gryffon and Osmond Arrowood succeeded in driving the Glacianans out of Olmaria. The Ambrogio, Gryffon and Arrowood families are, to this day, the ruling Highborn families of Olmaria. Due to the Olmarian Conquest and Revolution, tensions between Olmaria and Glaciana are still high.

## Class System

Olmaria has a very strict class system. The ruling class are the Highborn - the leader of each of the three families and their children. They are marked by golden tattoos on their left wrists. The next class are the nobility - consisting solely of noble sorcerers, as well as the descendents of those Highborn who are not chosen as leader. Their tattoos are silver. Below them are the middle class - lower class sorcerers and higher class humans who own land. They are distinguished by bronze tattoos around their wrists. The lowest class are the peasants, who consist of humans who work on the land of the landowners and have red tattoos.
