Northguard.

Though it was called a Kingdom, 'Queendom' would be a better term to use. Because, since the beginning, the country had always been in the reins of women. There were no Kings- only royal consorts. The reason? Because of the special second property the Heera family had- a property that put them on the very top of circlers, a property only compatible to women.

Northguard.

As it's name suggest, the sole duty of the whole Kingdom was to defend against the calamity that hides in the North. It had defended well since its foundation, and it would continue to defend for centuries to come. But this strength to stand against anything came with a hefty price- a price of death, a price of exhaustion.

This price made them the sturdiest nation there was, and also- the most stubborn of them all. Stubbornness was the common trait of the Northguardians. And the royal family- was anything but an exception.

"Preposterous!"
