History
With the Northern Kingdom, this land lives in peace for about 70 years. But nobody know, what will happen in the New Age.
Culture
The Middle Kingdom is a typical medieval feudalistic land with an old military tradition of knights. In low populated regions, people are simpler, in metropolic hotspots like Azuran you find several subcultures. To be honest, there's nothing you can't find in the Middle Kingdom.
Politics
The Kingdom has 8 counts and one king, so 9 aristocratic bloodlines, which lead the people. The current king Leo III is a very popular old man ful of wisdom. His highest interest is peace, so he will never provocate a war from his side. He seems to be an intelligent man and also thinks of improvements for the economy of his people. If he would be attacked, he is able to use a well-trained and modern army, which also use different warmachines, but he isn’t that brave and strong warrior like King Udalrich.
Shires of Middle Kingdom
The Kingdom consists of 9 shires, 8 have a count, 1 is leaded by the King. Most are named after their capital city.

Bergfingen
