The Aurelai Kingdom

Written by Al'fahrim
Nestled in the coastal valley of the far south, The Aurelai Kingdom lies separated and secluded from the other Southern Countries. As such, the Kingdom's economic system is fairly sustainable, albeit only due to the magics of the High Aurelian Court. Without them, the magitech infrastructure that allows trade between the capitol and the outlying villages would collapse and sink into the underlying marsh, cutting off safe trade routes and isolating the otherwise overpopulated citadel.

Magic pervades the lives of many Aurelians - from the mundane to the practical and fantastic - and most children eagerly apply for an apprenticeship with a local mage, the first step in the road to the rigorous Enta'el School, the most prestigious of the magical academies in the south and one of the founding patrons of the Archives of Aurelus.

The Royal motto is "Rise Above Adversity", well mirrored in the elevated roads and towns of the Kingdom. The marsh under most of the Kingdom is a treacherous, monster-ridden gutter which all nobles agree is better to observe and ignore rather than tame and terraform. After all, our magic has supported us so far, keeping the Kingdom and its citizens safe from harm, hasn't it?
