Kingdom of Rainegate
Origin
Known as "The Kingdom" to those that inhabit Triptych, The Kingdom of Rainegate was founded at the start of the Age of Unification 1AU by the first King of Humanity; King Avellonis.The Coronation
The founders known as "The Vigilants" were a gathered group of tribes that formerly inhabited the land formerly known as "The Realm" by King Avellonis, Over the course of a few years coming into -5AU, Trueblade would come to recruit companions: Daine Stonefury and Valere Twinstag as well as their tribe's allegiance naming themselves "The Vigilants" and founded the Kingdom of Rainegate on the eastern coast of The Realm. Stonefury and Twinstag would sail east in search of other human settlements that may need their support, King Avellonis would become the ruler of the land leaving their appointed of the Stone fury and Twin Stag tribes to become right and left hand of the king. His coronation would begin the Age of Unification(AU) wherein scribes would start writing the histories of the kingdom. Years would go on and efforts were made to snuff out all threats until King Avellonis would inevitably pass away and "The Realm" would be renamed "Avellonis" in honour of his great deeds.The City
The bay that now houses the city used to be a flourishing forest land that accomodated many giant apple-bearing trees. It was only by chance that The Vigilants were on the search of other human tribes that may be recruited in the fight against the demons that they happen to stumble upon this position but decided to postpone any permanent plans of staying until after they had made sure all that could had already joined them. After the unification work started on a village named simply "Village of Apples" coyly suggested by Twinstag, It was only years later at 30AU when the village would grow into a bustling city and be redubbed "Rainegate".Politics
After the Age of Division, The realms split into 3 seperate landmasses, Kingsbury in the north, And Thornton in the south, Leaving the Kingdom of Rainegate as the only geopolitical power in the continent of Avellonis. These realms have had conflict with each other giving reasons for war such as Rainegate belonging to one group more than the other or unfair land division. These days the tension has slowed as the expansion of cities continues to become more of an effort that the realms have had long lasting peace to ensure everyone gets their fair share of land ownership.Regions

Culture
The populace of the Kingdom enjoy a prosperous age as the main hub of travel and trade between the other realms especially as other races journey to their lands from far away giving way to more economic opportunities in tourism.
Many such religious churches were founded on Avellonis so thus have made their permanent homes in it's cities and villages.
Due to the tales of the Age of Divide the people of the kingdom have grown wary of their neighbours - expecting invasions and subterfuge from their now allied realms, even after a couple thousand years of relative peace.
The people are proud to call themselves Avellonians having "won" the great war of three and naming themselves faithful loyalists who's ancestors stayed and fought for the founding realm.
