The Masked Dukedom

Cities

Here we will show the maps of the kingdoms, duchies and lands throughout each of the ages.

City of Elders

A city known for its strange shadowy black bricked buildings and statues of figures similar to the goblins of the nation. Each statue is said to stand fifteen feet tall, and seems to be portrayed as strong enough to even wrestle giants. Though the giants in many of the artistic designs are depicted as far more storm like then any other. The city seems to have its dirt roads lined with blue and red crystals of death ore, and every block is shown to have one of the five elders symbol upon it. Signifying the territory within the town, the City of Elders is broken up into five sections, each sporting a small fort and its own nobles. The city is said to be filled with the screams of ancient beings throughout the night, as dark rituals are carried out to beings long forgotten to history. 

Nobility

Here we shall discuss notable noble houses through the time periods.

The Fox

Said to be the kindest and most curious of the five elders. The Fox elder stands at half the height of his brethren only reaching 6ft tall, though his height like the others is believed to be due to his mask. The Fox is believed to be linked to a fiend called Kayok who once ruled over all the fey lands. Having long ago sworn that any who bear this mask will stand by the fey courts regardless of there situation. Those that serve The Fox all wear similar fox masks, though while The Fox is orange in coloration, the rest take a pale color and smaller size in comparison. The Fox is noted to be a strong believer of fairness but also can be quite the prankster. Many of the buildings within his district depict an ancient fiend playing a cello to the goblins as if soothing them. 

The Dragon

Believed to be the most zealous of the five elders, The Dragon stands the tallest at 14ft tall and over five hundred pounds. Though believed to be a hobgoblin, it has been confirmed that The Dragon is just a stronger goblin. Though many believe the abilities come from the strange demonic dragon mask. Believed to be made from chaoticum, the purplish dragon mask almost glows unnaturally under the moonlight. Allowing all who serve The Dragon to see him within his city. It is noted that those that live within the section of the city ran by The Dragon wear masks similar to drakekin, all with the blackened stone said to grow from the death ore mines. As well as amongst this section of the city, it is uncommon yet, no statues depicting ancient beings can be found. Instead it is more common to see naked or simply dressed citizens who are all in fantastic shape physically. It is believed that this section of the city believes in the perfection of ones body and there magic. 

The Boar

The Boar stands roughly 12ft tall and is noted to weigh nearly two hundred pounds, giving him a slim appearance from afar. Though as you get closer, the muscles of The Boar seem to almost magically increase. The mask itself is believed to be based on the only ancient fiend from before the historical event "The Dark Clouds", known as Plethmora "The Staff of a Hundred Worlds". She is the most documented of the creatures worshipped within The Masked Dukedom. With her exact figure being depicted on every street block, a large and powerful mage with the body of a fiendish bipedal boar female. The Boar section is well known for its magical research, sporting the second largest acadamy in drafika. 

The Gryphon

The Gryphon is said to stand around 12ft tall and around four hundred pounds, with his legs carrying the majority of his muscles. Though believed to be an evil necromancer at first glance, as he appears with many bones and skulls atop his robes. The truth is that those among The Gryphon's section of the city are able to all meet with those loved ones who had passed. Allowing family histories, names, research, and final goodbyes to be gained amongst the multiple medical clinics that spot the city. It is said that The Gryphon is the only one of the masks who has no followers directly paying homage to him through masks or assistance. Instead, those who serve directly are believed to be undead scribes who have given there lives to the study and protection of history. Causing this to be the only section to not allow members of the Collective of Pyrus within. 

The Hound

The Hound and his hounds are considered the law of the city and the strongest drivers of this. Interestingly amongst the city section The Hound rules shows depictions of a strange black chameleon being beaten by a strange creature in armor. Called "The Last", this figure is believed to be a being of true justice though few know the truth of the creature. The Hound himself stands the fastest and seemingly most fair, allowing all within his territory who follow his laws. Though all who enter find themselves immediately within a pact with The Hound as if a side effect of the mask itself.

Current and Past Wars

Here we shall discuss the notable wars for each period and who they were against.

The Great Crossing Wars

Though little is known about the war, what is believed is that the goblinoids of the Masked Dukedom are not from Drafika. Having been believed to arrived from the dark continent after watching there gods fall one by one. Historians believe this was the time of "The Dark Clouds" in which one force of powerful fiends would go against another. The goblins at the time said to stand as big as goliaths with the strength of dragons, having had a culture of kindness though constant war seemed to be the normal. The society seemed to value peace above all, but would hesitate to fight as there gods deemed. At some point, it is believed the demons of this foreign continent would cause even the gods to stop watching the world. The goblins would find themselves with no hope, and nothing but there intuition. Historians split at this point with some believeing the five elders masks represent those demons that went with the goblins. Others believe that the goblins built boats of there own and grew small as they had no other food then fish and sea birds. Whatever the case, the goblins were once as numerous as the rest of the worlds nations combined. 

The First Flames

When the dragons landed it is said that the goblinoids ruled the entirety of the land. Though others believe that the dragons were already on the continent, though seemed to have an uneasy alliance with the five elders. It is said that during this invasion, the five elders would see the destruction of there lands as they were tricked, given gifts of plague, and found themselves enslaved. As the Elders watched, it is said that they retreated to the lands below. Here they would continue to fight the invading force. Who yet still drove the goblins to further extinction, managing to learn the truth of there ancestors in this moment of near death. It is said that the only reason the Elders managed to negotiate peace with the invading dragons was after the great death ore implosion. Having turned there attackers near there now homelands, the large lake that would be formed is said to have been the results of it. With the five elders launching incredible magic using the massive death ore mine. Only to watch as the material would go from blue to red to black and then implode, taking nearly half the armies that were there, with them. This final battle would sign an uneasy peace, or with Gregsmaratam showing his full force was still willing to fight. 

Religious beliefs

Here we shall discuss the different religious beliefs in this kingdoms history throughout the periods.

Marriage

The goblins believe that everyone in their clan or kingdom is family so if a goblin chooses to marry they must go to another kingdom and steal a wife or husband. However this can end in death for either side.

Events/Holidays

We shall begin to discuss notable holidays and events in this kingdom. Explaining further on where they come from and what goes on during them.

Economy

Here we shall discuss the unique economics of different nations as needed.

Economic Status

The current noted treasury value of the nation through raw resource development

Raw Treasury

None as of the start of the age. 
Mines Currently producing 400lbs of death ore a day valued at 128,000 Diamond coins a day in production, with expected 200,000lbs of death ore in the ground still valued 64 million diamond coins.

Coins

Here we shall find how the coins look, what materials they are made of, and what the value of the coins are on the overall market.
DIAMOND CROWNS
The first coin that replaced the common platinum that the dragons used for its shininess. Giants though, are not dragons, thus the more common material of liquid diamonds would be harvested from the cores of the volcanoes in the heart of the magma as it was believed. This material would be farmed to make coins and other magical items.
RUBY VOLCANOS
Believed to be equivalent to the gold piece commonly used by the lesser nations including dragons. Thus the Jotun-Modr pioneered the coin in the shape of their homeland to be used by those sworn to them. These simple coins are individually 5cm by 5cm like the other coins, however it is clear and seems to sparkle from its craftsmanship only possible by the Jotun-Modr who individually made each coin.
SAPPHIRE HILLS
Sapphire hills were thinner coins due to there higher rarity, though most giants valued sapphires less then rubies and only slightly more then emeralds. Thus most recognized this simple hill drawn with sheep grazing into the individual sapphires as a silver coin.
EMERALD PLAINS
Lastly and most common in the Jotun-Modr volcanos were emeralds. As the material was farmed simply from their individual Rok-heap herds. Thus simple grass would be carved into the coins as apprentices practiced there arts on the coins.
