Kingdom of Highgate

### **ABOUT**

Built on the peaks of the legendary mountains of '**The One**', sits **Highfort**, the capital of **Highgate**. The Sentinel Keep stands proudly next to the fortress, casting its shadow over 'Loom Valley'. The Kingdom of Highgate is a Military-Monarchy founded in the name of the High One, the ancient being of brilliant life and prosperity. Those who live to serve the High One can expect the gift of beautiful and prosperous life under the current 'High King' (SuperJSR). It was said the first High King of the Kingdom was hand-forged roughly 1500 years ago by the High One themselves, meaning all High Kings to follow are literal living creations of the ancient being.

### **HISTORY & RELIGION**

The backbone of the Kingdom of Highgate has always been its religion in the High One. This ancient being is said to be the ultimate creator of all things known to man. With this, they created Highgate to watch over the realm of man in the form of the **Sentinel Keep** siting on 'top of the world', a.k.a., the Loom Mountains. This tower was used as a beacon of power to all below and represented the sense of guardianship that Highgate gave to the people. Around 1200 years ago, an ancient evil from the netherworld struck the realm of man with a power and severity never seen before. The High One fought alongside his Sentinels until until the very end, resulting in the Kingdom's defeat to the Nether. This was known as '**The War of the Realm**'. The One was defeated along with their Sentinels, resulting in an event called '**The Soar**', where the being left behind their body and entered an afterlife never before achieved. Here, they cleansed the world of evil from '**The Untouchable Realm**'. In this god-like form, The One then forged the first High King of Highgate, this began the beginning of the long line of High Kings with the purpose of continuing the work of The One in the realm of man. This brings us to today, as the **67th Monarch** of The Kingdom of Highgate, SuperJSR reigns powerfully and honourably as the current High King of Highgate indefinitely...
