Kingdom Name:
The Kingdom of Ontaré
Race: Humans- The rising tide.
Omnipresent: Especially since the Aedakom conquest, humans are everywhere. They are quite aware of this situation, and they use it to their advantage.
Subterfuge Actions by human realms are more likely to succeed.
Live Like Flies, Die Like Flies: When faced with the longevity of elves, the tough skin of orcs, and the stamina of dwarves, human physical durability isn't much to brag about.
Human army units take attrition when in enemy territory or traveling long distances, even when supply lines are clear.
Origin: Old Kingdom: We have stood where we are for generations and generations. Our ties to the land are ancient and unbreakable.
– Start with 1 Palace upgrade, 1 Market or Docklands upgrade, and 1 Artisan Block upgrade. 1 district begins with no-upkeep Medieval Walls. Start with a single no-upkeep Castle (Medieval Walls) adjacent to any settlement. Can choose any starting religion.
Religion:
Orthodox Aedak: The mystic words of the Messaran Ancients and the laws of the Prophet-Emperor Raegar, enforced and propagated by his Holiness the Vaekir and the Messarom Vaekirate. We worship the only true god, Aed!
– May establish links with the Vaekirate and any Southern realm
– Start with a High Priest
– Pre-set Piety Table
Monarch:Enann Kath the Devout (Warrior/Spymaster)-
Enann is a young king, barely into his 20s. He was originally training as a priest, being the youngest in his family and not originally in line for the throne, when an illness befell his elder brothers. Despite the kingdom's efforts, they could not be saved, and so Enann ascended to the throne. He is well-liked by his people, leading with a religious authority and humility. Enann stands at an average height with short black hair. He is usually clean-shaven, and has bright green eyes.

History: Short explanation of how your kingdom came to be (2-3 Paragraphs)
Ontaré began as a merchant stop along the river. It slowly grew as people from nearby kingdoms sought to trade with the humans living in the forest. This, of course, also attracted missionaries from the Vaekirate hoping to find more loyal followers in the dense woodland. They were more than successful, drawing in a number of worshipers and establishing a strong church within the lands of Ontaré. The shift from settlement to kingdom was a humble one. The area simply became to populous to manage without a proper head of state, and so one of the wealthier merchant families was formally coronated and given sovereignty over the land.
Ontaré continued to function primarily as a trading outpost for many years. When the Empire encroached on the land, the then king simply struck a deal with the invaders, ensuring the safety of his people and their continued business in exchange for swearing fealty. Once the Empire lost its footing, the Ontarans opened their doors to refugees from all sides, earning the ire of many. They took it as an opportunity not only to endear themselves to those they saved, but also gather more followers for their church. It was at this time that the kingdom shifted from a focus on commerce to a focus on charity. King Enann continues this new tradition, and has made great strides toward strengthening the church.
