The Kingdom of Akrose
Akrose is a Kingdom ruled by King Aruman, a wise and solemn ruler who wants to keep his people safe and make his land prosperous and peaceful. The kingdom is officially devoted to Pelor, with individuals free to honour any of the gods as long as it des not interfere with Pelor's will. The King is the ruler of the land and of the army, riding at the head of the Askorian forces when they enter battle. The King is traditionally clothed in a white robe to symbolise his devotion to the Lord of Light. As the light of the Sun can be split into a rainbow, so is the Askorian military divided into 6 orders. Each order is led by a Colour Knight. These fearsome warriors are completely loyal to the King and the Kingdom, and each lead a host of a thousand well armed and well trained fighters. The orders are identified by the coloured cloaks they wear.
