Kingdom of Esperia
This is a very traditional fantasy kingdom, ruled currently by Queen Cynthia. The kingdom is a land of peace and justice, guarded by just knights, its most prominent features are the Princesses of Fate. These are individuals chosen by fate, they often do not know what their special fate is until the events are occurring. All Princesses are taught from a young age a variety of skills to aid them in whatever challenges they will face, prominently are lessons about leadership, a lot of burdens are placed on Princesses for most of their lives.
The Kingdom is divide into duchies, each with its own regional customs and methods related to the trades the locals engage in and how their judicial and legislative groups are organised and run. Each duke/duchess is in charge of ensuring that all taxes are collected, peace is maintained and the needs of the local populace are seen to in a timely fashion, taking it to higher authorities if needed.
Trade and communication between the duchies is done via the vast canal networks that criss-cross the kingdom, all connecting to the capital Kaunrisal. This connection extends to the borders of Esperia allowing for swift transporting of messages between the Kingdoms when necessary. This has lead to a strong maritime tradition in the Kingdom, which while less combat oriented compared to Thalavis means that the Kingdom does has a strong staple of ready sailors when needed.
Esperia's other strong staple is in the field of archery, with it being taught in many a Princess Academy, many duchies hold archery tournaments and hunting with bow can be a common source of food for the more inland duchies especially those bordering the great forest. All of this leads to many militias filled with skilled archers that can deal with local outbreaks of undead or monsters or when the horns precede the coming of a Shadowmarch be called upon to form the core of a military force.
This kingdom is largely based on the more traditional Disney films based on more European fairy tales and the like.
Religion
In Esperia, clerics tend to be, rather than clerics of gods, be clerics tied to the concepts of the kingdom and its culture of princesses and fate. So they tend to be clerics of fate, duty, good, community and life. Some duchies and other regions may have more specific kinds of concepts based on the communities who live there.
