Artolia , the cradle of humanity , was born when the trade finally gained momentum . From that moment , the roads that crisscrossed the territory brought wealth and kingdom culture . Its economy still thrives allowed political leaders to keep their powers through the ages , so the advice of nobles who presided over the Court were only nominal , absolute authority remains in the hands of the monarch. For a long time Artolia constituted the only power on the continent , but has recently been challenged by its Villnore and Crell Montferaigne , neighboring kingdoms built on an aggressive economic and military expansion trend position.
ll be several years ago, the nobility of Artolia was plunged into a period of intense internal strife and domestic disputes which seems to be no end in sight. Tormented by a weakened Crown and the imminent threat of foreign invasion, he came to many of the noble families , and more private vassals of their rights to their military service to meet their needs.
The most powerful of all states in Midgard, begins to destabilize after the death of the King and the people believe more in a conspiracy . Half a year after the artoliens learned that their king had fallen from his horse into his grave suspicions of a conspiracy are born in the light of recent revelations . The allegations came from a long-standing rivalry between the two mothers of the king's son , who grew to involve several nobles in the assassination of the monarch. Yet that is heard with which to install a prince depends on the person who is asked .

The silence of the king was to deliberate this time , so he thought maintain order , supporters of the older half-brother Kristoff , Prince Langrey were more likely to the Court. Ironically, his untimely death put outstanding issues , initiating the conflict he wanted to avoid. Various departments put forward doctrines defending the legitimacy of the princes to the throne during the interregnum , only to be contradicted by the rival factions each faith , while the struggle for power corrupts all corners of government.
At this point , most noble houses are aligned either side of the eldest , Prince Langrey , or the side of the crown prince , Kristoff . Langrey recovery support for smaller homes and military homes, eager for revolutionary expansion seeking new opportunities for growth , while Kristoff won the favor of big houses, wealthy aristocrats and traditionalists, whose sole purpose is to keep what they have. However, there is a third faction : undecided . Among them are influential institutions as the home of Haughn , which can be easily swing the outcome of the dispute .
Although they are both son of the late King , the legitimacy of Prince Kristoff supersedes that of his elder under the reign of his mother as Queen 's half-brother . Although neither of them nourish a particular animosity towards each other , the question of succession sowed discord between them, then the nobles artoliens turn . The elder gathered his supporters with promises of futures , the full force calls for a more powerful Artolie . It is rumored that during this time, the rightful heir to the political decisions entrusted to his advisers , pillars powerful houses.
The controversy surrounding the coronation was terribly worse. While everyone at the Court means to say that the throne can not remain vacant longer , opinions remain divided on who should sit . Although second in the sequence , determining the prince Langrey policy made him into favor with younger homes, those who get tired of the Prince Kirstoff ambiguous positions in times of crisis . In addition , suspicions about a clandestine meeting from a few days between the dignitaries and councilors Crell Montferaigne Prince Kristoff raises aspersions on the abilities of Crell Monferaigne to protect the independence of Artolia , causing défectin many military leaders for the prince Langrey . Every day sees the rift between the two parties grow. The confrontation seems inevitable.
Artolia , Villnore and Crell Montferaigne are the three great kingdoms today . Although traditionally Artolia by its rich culture and history , guide the continent , this role is coveted by the aforementioned neighbors to satisfy their imperialist aspirations. Despite their still flourishing aggressive border military retrenchment in each of the two states were suspicious of the influence of Artolia , and has always managed to avoid open hostilities. The time that would last the fragile peace in the midst of the tense political situation Artolia remains to be seen .
What was supposed to be only land assembly in the northwest turned into an angry mob , and has now evolved into a full-fledged revolt Camille . The strongholds Artolia waiting the outcome with bated breath , fearing similar insurrections which should spread and succeed than Camille . Although uncertainty about the future of the aristocracy was probably a factor , hostilities broke out about taxes crown , despite the famine prevailed in the region. Royal War Council denounced as traitors serfs and their rebellion as a betrayal , and deployed troops repression to stem the riots. ith the rebel slaves pushing the forces of repression , many considered it for granted that they received help from Villnore . The serfs were equipped with weapons and armor in large numbers, and went well beyond what had been thought that the Royal Council of War , and the price in blood for this underestimation was excessively loud . This could be a knight Villnore was noticed among the rebels , leading to speculation that the crown artolienne approve the request Aullewyn Keep building in the interest of securing the borders .
