The Human Kingdom of Delmar

The Human Kingdom of Delmar

The Kingdom of Delmar stretches from the rocky, imposing shores of the southern coastline of Continent of Ascentia, to the rise of the Rakkor Mountain Range to the northwest. The neighboring Elven nation of Eldurin borders the realm to the northeast, while along the western cliffs, the Avians have long held jealous hold of their ancestral nesting grounds, towering above the Great Western Ocean as it churns below. The existing ocean straight that splits the land masses to the southwest is known as the Shattered Channel and is subject to raids from both the neighboring nation of Myddian, a volcanic string of islands that the Drow lay claim to as well as their own pirate renegades. This tends to keep relations between the Drow Nation and the Human Kingdom unpredictable. There exists a peaceful alliance between the Kingdom of Delmar and their closest neighbors to the northeast, the Elven Nation of Eldurin, though relations between the two nations have been somewhat strained in recent years.

The capital city of Delmar is named after the royal family, and is thusly known as Delmarii Bastion. It is centrally located within the kingdom's borders upon the edge of the great expanse of Blackwood forest and the stretch of wind swept plains known as the Grasslands. The main city is a walled city with a population of approximately thirty thousands citizens with a reliance upon shipping routes and trade with the Dwarven and Elven nations. Only recently as the window of opportunity presented itself as trade has become possible with exotic and previously unreachable markets such as Myddian, injecting new and rare materials into the hands of the Merchant's Guild.

The Throne of Delmar is currently occupied, by Her Majesty Gillian Valareuse Delmarii, who took the throne after the untimely death of her husband, King Draven Delmarii was thrown from a horse upon the jousting field. In the three decades since the Queen has held a strong will over the Throne of Delmar and in that time, she has lain waste to what she considered, archaic, outdated and restrictive systems that, in her opinion, held the realm back from growth and prosperity. In doing so she has created both new enemies and allies both within the Kingdom of Delmar and beyond its borders. While it can be said that during her reign the Kingdom of Delmar has grown into nation unequaled in either military or financial might, it too can be noted, that there are many dissatisfied as to just how such gains have come, and at what cost.
