The Kingdom of Aurelia is a beautiful kingdom full of many unique wonders, and many amazing sights. Legends have sprouted up around its large lands it being by far one of the largest kingdoms on its continent. Many of the noblemen, and knights of the realm are of renown experience all of them are not to be trifled with. As young King Ricardo Fellini, aged 30, of the Second Imperial Family runs his kingdom with the help of his various vassals, and allies he seeks to make the realm prosper. Of the many houses House Serenno in their massive fortress in the northern corner of the kingdom holds the most pull. Helmed by the aged Duke (Formerly Count) Artanos (Art-Tan-Os), he has served the imperial family for three generations and has become known as the best swordsman in the kingdom by far even in his late age of eighties Artanos commands respect, fear, and authority unlike many other houses though that may be due to his lack of experience.

The fanciful house Arkley (Arc-Lee or Arc-Lay) holds control over much of the wealth of the kingdom setting themselves down south near the rivers, and ocean that borders many island countries, and Aurelia's neighbors. Middle aged Duke Micheal Arkley holds sway over many merchants, and politicians with his massive wealth. Though he lacks for a proper military he lays strong with many well fortified cities, and many trade routes piled around the area. Known for the manic, and hedonistic behaviors Arkley is well liked by many but to the more respectful sorts they have found many enemies. Irregardless their plentiful farms, and great wealth allows them to feed, and field the armies of Aurelia.

The other houses counts, and dukes alike hold very little in comparison to these two houses. Serenno's strength being near insurmountable due to their hard lands forming great soldiers, and Arkley's abundance of wealth allowing them to bribe, and cheat in the game of politics. However many of the other nobles have well known officers, or specialties that keep them relevant in the scheme of things.

On this account Duke Lyle Clayger in the middle lands serves as a commander of fine men, and women. Some of them even count among the handful of mages in the country. He is married to Severa Clayger formerly of Serenno giving them more credibly than most. As a young man he served in the war against the neighboring country of Asterland, and their allies the Elves of Caterberry in the far east. He distinguished himself as The Eagle of the Plains using the many talented men to bring crushing defeats in vital moments even earning the respect of the then Vizer of King Harry Fellini, Artanos which earned his marriage to his willful wife Severa.

After the war Duke Lyle Clayger settled down, and formed his family growing Castle Dornham Keep into a grand city to rival some of the larger ones in the southern sections of the nation. Lyle became renown for his kindness, and friendly attitude. The king found him a worthy friend, and a good retainer. His own men respected him for his magnanimity, and generosity as he was known for giving second chances, and many other signs of trust never wavering even when it failed.

Despite this bandit issues, and monsters continued to terrorize the country side, and adventurers' guilds quickly became the main source of protections from beasts, and evil men. Lyle set out to assist the king with the issue bringing his youngest daughter Reina, and his wife Severa to meet Duke Michael, and go see the king. However on the way his group were assaulted either by goblins, or by bandit men it isn't entirely sure. Either way Reina was announced missing, and his wife was found dead...along with Lyle himself.

The golden eagle, the symbol of House Clayger, laid shredded and torn along with the pride, and head of its house. Lyle's blade hadn't even been drawn before he had been shot by an arrow according to reports. With the Golden Eagle dead there was left only one successor. A boy of the age of 14. Len Clayger. Young Len is an ideological boy who knows nothing of war, and combat. His only for certain ally is his grand father Artanos. Burdened with war House Clayger's retainers must prepare to help assist their young lord in running, and saving the country. But what route will Len take?

Hello everyone this is an original roleplay that I felt would be too big to handle in advanced so I chose to put it in casual. The players in this story will be members of House Clayger's personnel. Namely knights, and other adventurers of the sort in service to Len Clayger. The story will start at the coronation of Little Len as he takes his first steps to the throne of Duke. He is ill experienced, and still in mourning but he is his father's son and he is capable enough to lead.

Mages exist in this rp similar to what you'd find in DND, or Goblin Slayer. They use routine elemental spells, cast curses, and enchant weapons. Holy mages/priests can use magic to heal wounds, and call on the light to harm evil, or ill intentioned opponents.

The races that exist in this universe are: Men, goblins, orcs, trolls, elves, fairies, and dwarves.

The land of Aurelia consists of the frosty wintery north, the warm wetland south, the plains in the center, the hilly east, and the west is a mix of mountains, and hills as well.

The main city of this roleplay will be Harrowfell where Dorham Keep is located at. Other cities will be given names when, or if they become relevant. I will give name to anyone who asks.

This roleplay's plot will revolve around how the people in Len's life steer him to become. He may become ambitious, or he may become a saint like his daddy. Maybe somewhere between. He trusts you all with his life.

The countries that border Aurelia are: The desert country of Casval to the south across the ocean, the north borders the Island City States, and the country of Arkenos lead by the dwarf king Dune, the west is the small country of Rendelia, and Asterland.

If you have any further questions I will answer them below.

@vancexentan
Are the Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls "Always Chaotic Evil" or is there more nuance to their character as a race?
