Kingdom of Dalia
The northernmost, second-smallest, and least-populous of the Three Kingdoms, Dalia — also called the Guard of the North — is the ancestral home of the House of Delea whose progeny William of Linia founded the Order of the Grandmasters.
Inheriting the geopolitical precariousness of Vilia, the natural resource deficiency of Linia, and few of the offsetting advantages of either, Dalia's greatest strength lies in its historical cultural brotherhood with its two southern neighbors. The youth of Dalia are taught in great detail of the magnificent rise to greatness of William Delea, his union of the Three Kingdoms and establishment of most of their institutions, and the roles played in these events by the common peoples of all three lands.
Today, Dalia's most profitable export is its might: The renowned Dalian Sharpshooters, archers and crossbowmen of seemingly supernatural talent, make up an essential component of the militaries of all three nations, and are vital to restricting the destructive capabilities of the barbaric Hingardi to the north. Reputed for the magnaminity in their hearts, the Dalians are nonetheless a militaristic power for whom even the Hingardi hold a resentful, begrudging respect.
