The Kingdom of Seraph

The Kingdom of Seraph is a large expansive kingdom residing within the Aerie, the Elemental Plane of Air. Ruled by the Hurricanys lineage for thousands of years, the kingdom's great landmass is tethered together by long wiry bridges formed out of the impossibly flexible metal of Quicksilver, named Chimestring Bridges. It also borders at an massive oasis named the Seraph Expanse, running a mile and a half long with a road and several towns located around its border.

Structure

• The King of Seraph: The King who rules over all of Seraph and its tethered lands. The current king is King Abrams Hurricanys.
• The White Council: The various council members who advise the king in matters of diplomacy, trade, and other things, each from one of the highest noble families. These positions are listed below:
• The Spymaster: Master of information funneled to and from the royal court, exploration of the outlying lands, espionage of the king's agents, and overall intelligence. The current Spymaster is Lord Desiderus Whisper.
• The Tradesmaster: Master of trade, treasury, coin, bookkeeping, and economics of the kingdom. The current Tradesmaster is Lord Balladon Gale.
• The Guardsmaster: Master of the kingdom's protection, defenses, and order of assets and soldiers during times of war. The current Guardsmaster is Lady Katra Stormwind.
• The Almsmaster: Master of the kingdom's production of food, animals, and market, often working with the Tradesmaster very closely. The current Almsmaster is Lord Jurian Westwind.

Culture

• Chaining Lands: The Kingdom of Seraph engages in the practice of "chaining" in which they send out scouts and finders to collect information on resources that certain floating islands may have. If they deem it worthy of a full investigation, they will set off a Chimebridge to sink into and connect to the greater landmass, allowing miners, planters, and other people to trek across and collect those resources.

Assets

• The Seraph Military: A legion of trained warriors who are masters of mounted and ranged combat, focusing on light maneuvering with leather armor, bows, and quicksilver scimitars for speed above strength. This legion patrols the borders of the kingdom as the landmass travels, and scouts ahead to the paths that it approaches to look for ambushes, prospective masses to attach too, and possible resources to collect.

Demography and Population

Most of Seraph's population is made up of elementals, air genasi, sylphs, and a few zhyen genie-born who have pledged service to them. Avariel Elves can also be found here but are rare, as are all the other races within.

Territories

• The Mainland:
• Kordshand/The Spear of Talos: One of the Chimed Landmasses attached to Seraph, taken as a prize during the War of the Smiting Storm between the Kingdom of Seraph and the Tribal Sylphs of the Stormborn. This war was what saw the rise of House Stormwind, and thusly they have their ancestral home of Stormhold in Storm Valley. The Westwinds also cultivate land and house many of their risen animals.
