The Realm of Valadöria

Valadöria is a land-locked realm that is situated south of Frigöris. Famed for its castles and keeps, Valadöria’s military is the most highly trained of all the realms while its extensive grass plains are patrolled by tribes of nomadic horsemen. There are more noble houses in Valadöria than in any other realm giving Valadörians a certain aloofness that others find unappealing.

The City of Dolasie

The realm of Valadöria has dozens of noble houses all vying for the attention of the Morinthí Royal Family. Castles and keeps pepper its land and each lord tries to outdo his neighbour in terms of their entourage of men-at-arms. In times of war each lord sends its best troops meaning that when Valadörians take to the field of battle there is no shortage of knights on horseback.

No other realm trains its armies like Valadöria. Whether it is through fear of being attacked by the horse tribes that roam the plains or by the barbarian hordes that come from the neighbouring realm of Frigöris, the Valadörian Army is in a constant state of readiness, eying the other realms suspiciously and waiting for the next war.

Valadöria is an affluent realm whose gold and silver mines still produce while those belonging to other realms have long ran dry. With this wealth the realm’s lords are able to enhance their military might; building grander castles and keeps while being able to afford the finest cavalry and artillery.
