Info: The World of Serenus I

I. The Nations of Eostia

Eostia is analogous to ancient europe, as many and any other fantasy setting. Yet the sub-continent itself is pretty untamed for the most part, perhaps due in part to the devastation of a multi-generation long conflict between dark elves and humans.

1a. Alliance of The Seven Shields

The Alliance, in my eyes, is analogous to the Holy Roman Empire of europe (which was niether holy, nor Roman, nor an empire). But here, at least their name makes much sense to their form of government. But unlike the HRE they seem to not hold election and are based, on what I assume as the primogenitor heir system, which means the oldest will rule.

In the continent, I'll make them the major power in the region, but they are mostly focused on their hundreds years war with their northern neighbor, the nations neighboring them too weak or just deemed not important to their cause.

Their figurehead is their high queen and diety, which rules over the masses of humans that live and breathe within their "kingdoms", speaking of which;

1b. The Shield Cities

In the show, they seem to be your average medieval walled city. Quickly dispatched by the black dogs, though in their unfair favour due to subversive elements within them.

Geofum - The capital and seat of power in the alliance, though originally called geofu in the original works, I latinized it so I can have no immersive whiplash while hearing and seeing its name. Also some short history, ahem; Once an outpost of the old Aurelian Empire, and a town verging into near starvation. Geofum quickly gained its capital status during the much younger goddess reborn's arrival to its gates.

Ken - It was used to be much bigger and more magnificent during the Old Farrolingian Regime, but during one of its destructive rebellions all of its grand cathedrals to its forgotten gods were gone in a blaze in one night. Peace and order was restored when the proto-alliance sought to see it join under its banner, soon turning the old brutal Empire of Ken into a respectable kingdom under the guidance of its new ruler and goddess.

Rad - A small mining town powered by beastmen slaves that soon elevated as the alliances industrial center, with the heroic intervention of Luu-Luu and her band of "exiles", came to rescue them. With Celestine's blessing, she was given a city to conduct her desire of invention and combat prowess.

Ur and Feoh - They were called the twin cities for something, having a shared history and a shared people that seemed one and the same. But it wasn't always like that. Two bitter enemies they were, embroiled with eachother's desire for destruction that they had failed to see the dark elves' vengeance of a thounsand monsterous armies barreling towards them. With the help of a noble knight and an elf's kindness, they fought with eachother, and bled with eachother like sisters and their histories were changed for the better.

Thorn - Seen as the outdoors of the alliance, it is a first stop shop for many wandering travelers and merchants from the far east. Many settled in, soon outnumbering the local residents and even more when Kaguya's group came. Quickly turning Thorn as the far eastern city of the west, welcoming the many displaced hinomotans as a beacon for a new life.

Ansur - The Ansuryans were proud people, even for a town of thieves and whores, they were tough sons of bitches that were molded into hard folks, men, women, children and all. Though the last to join the alliance, they made up for their good and dirty fighters (much to the dismay of the knightly households). And is the birthplace of the (in)famous Black Dogs as Vult himself sliced the head of his bastard father to prove himself.
