Derions

Derion, protected by magic and alchemy 				Once a upon a time, when the continent was still united, the ruler of Derion, "Ruard Lopesa" was prime minister of Iberia. Even today he barricades himself in his castle and spends his time researching magic and alchemy. The kingdom of Derion is a blossoming, feudal kingdom which relies more on the superiority of magic than on mere force of arms. At the top is Emperor Ruard Lopesa who rules the kingdom with a strict hand from behind the scenes. The main government business is done by the faithful magic knights who protect the kingdom against enemies from outside. The kingdom is surrounded by a magic wall from a long time ago which laid the foundation for the research of the alchemists. It turned Derion into what it is today. Research has made it possible for the armed forces to wear a special armor which is filled with an incredible power and gives the units superhuman power. As if they were protected by magic the Derions are also a people with a deep-seated sense of honor. Although Derion's harmonious cities and unique scenery are captivating the country is marked by war and destruction: after Queen Blid Blonead disappeared frenzied battles raged in the country and Ruard forcefully seized power. As a cruel imperator he went into battle against Edgar Seher and after he won the battle he provoked a war against the former allies, the Valorians, which escalated tragically. The current ceasefire between the two sworn enemies appears to be deceiving today. The war affected thousands of victims and the ruins of Queen Blid's palace can still be seen today.
