Noble Ambitions Where do you go when the world is shrouded in darkness?
Plot Synopsis: In the country of Duarneria, a peaceful land once ruled by the Emperor Shroud XI. He was a ambitious man who conquered the lessor nobles in a matter of years. His kingdom continued to expand to engulf minor countries and nations where the people had yet to determine the difference between a stick and a sword. The Emperor's kingdom expanded to the Koren Mountains where the country was isolated from farther inland.
The Empire was ruled in peace for the next thirty or so years, before the Emperor became fatally ill and died without an heir. Determined to take the throne, the nobles of the kingdom began a feudal civil war that would cast the Kingdom of Duarneria into darkness.
The Lands/Kingdoms: * Archer Nation - The First Kingdom * Barbaric Nation - The Second Kingdom * Mountain People - The Third Kingdom * Religious Fanatics - The Fourth Kingdom * Archmage Nation - The Fifth Kingdom
Cavjen Forest-The Cavjen Forest is a vast area stretching for one hundred miles. It is located in the southern part of the First Kingdom. It is home to thousands of different kinds of creatures, and reigns as the most diverse in population throughout all of the five kingdoms.
Cavjen Village- The Cavjen village was built scarcely a stone's throw away from the forest many years ago, and the forest has since then pushed outward and engulfed the city. Now, it's a half a day's journey into the forest by foot to the village.
Kar Village- Kar is the most secluded city of the archer nation, having been built deep inside the Cavjen Forest. It's terribly difficult to find if you have never been there before, making it the ideal place for archers and woodsmen to come and compete. A great festival is held there each year, and the only way to compete is to locate the village and reach it a week ahead of schedule. The greatest trackers, hunters, archers, and foresters of their trades travel across the kingdoms for the chance to compete, but the villagers don't make it easy for them to reach the city, and so there is often a small number of competitors.
The Koren Mountains-The Koren Mountains are a vast and deadly chain that have, for so long as most can remember, prevented the kingdoms from branching any more inland.
The Caid Village- Caid is one of the few scattered villages that have been built on the mountain range and helps make up the population of the Third Kingdom. Though the summers are pleasant here, the winters can be very treacherous, and so the inhabitants generally move to the Imperial City each fall to wait out the cold weather where it is safe. Since it is a mountain village, there is very little farming to be done, and most of its prosperity is the result of mining.
The Klein Village- The village of Klein is also located in the Koren Mountains, but is a good distance from Caid and is higher up, making it colder there all year round than most places. As a result, it has a very low population and relies mostly on the kindness of others to help them get by, being a very poor area.
Wun Village- The third and last mountain city, Wun is also the largest and most securely guarded. Despite the frigid temperatures, few ever depart from the city, and instead remain locked behind the giant walls guarding the city's secrets. The gates open twice a day for trade, but are otherwise kept shut, though the reason behind it all is a mystery to most.
Alastein Village- Alastein is a savage and cold nation. Ruled by the invencible barbarians, this nation is home to most of the strongest warriors in the land. Alastein is known for it's large reserve of slaves (who are in reality War Prisioners). The slaves of Alastein are treated worse than animals, and are doomed to work until they are touched by the graceful hand of Death. The usual clothes in Alastein are made out of animals known for their might, such as wolves and bears. Their most known weapons are the Giant Axe and the Two Handed Sword, which has a double edge.
Nifflehil Village - Ruled by the evil and perverted Demons. This nation is known for the way in which they treat humans: Slaves of all kinds. The live of a human has no meaning, and crushing them is considered less of a crime than crushing an ant. This nation is known for their sadistic tendencies, as well as for their dark and fiery atmosphere. They are located in the top of the mountains and are the smallest Nation.
Denz Village- Denz is the largest and most prosperous of the cities found in the Fifth Kingdom. It is said that all of the magic of the Fifth Kingdom is from the beautiful fountain that is found in the center of their city. It is made of the purest silver from the fountains, and the kingdom's pride.
Hender- Hender is the other major city in the Fifth Kingdom. Much like Kar, the magical folk of the kingdoms come to test their skills with one another here, and the sky is generally lit up at night by various spells.
The Imperial City- Home to the recently deceased emperor, the Imperial City is easily the largest in all the Five Kingdoms, and the most crime-ridden. Found in the Fourth Kingdom, both the richest and the poorest make their homes there, though rarely associate. In the right areas, the city is beautiful and clean, but in others grimy and dangerous.
Zimbol- A small village to the east of the Imperial City, its population is made up only of religious leaders. It is very quiet, especially in the evenings when it comes time to pray. Visitors are permitted to only stay two nights in the inn, before they must leave the city for fear of contamination.
Zane- Zane serves as a sort of prison camp for the worst of criminals in the five kingdoms. It is heavily guarded by people from each nation and is filled with the most undesirable characters imaginable. Also found in the fourth kingdom.
