Forthelore

"The land wherein adventure lives"

Forthelore is the largest and most prone to Fiend attacks. It is 4 times bigger then the other kingdoms. Its wilds are anything but reclaimed from Fiends, and it is filled to the brim with secrets and mysterious ruins. Far in the nearly uninhabited outskirts by the sea, the lost kingdoms still stand, now the domain of the Fiends. Due to the sheer amount of land that is considered part of Forthelore despite being completely unexplored and downright dangerous, this kingdom is vast and the settlements are far between. It was once ruled by a humble king without many riches, King Vincent, who entered into a pact with the Wilden to share the land in peace with one another. This pact was called the "Four Swords Consensus" and involved a huge donation to the Wilden, who in turn swore to protect Forthelorians as their own and stand united against the Fiends. This also resulted in a specialized class of Fiend-hunters being formed called the Four Swords, who integrate fighting techniques and weaponry from both the Wilden and the linked kingdoms. Currently the kingdom is ruled by the kings only living grandson, who is a corrupt religious zealot who tortures his critics and has no respect for the Four Swords or the consensus, King Markus. Unlike his father, he believes that the laws and customs of the linked kingdoms must apply to the Wilden as well. Because of his corrupt nature, he is many times richer then his grandfather King Vincent.
