Kingdom of San d'Oria

This kingdom of proud and fierce warriors is situated to the north of the Quon continent and was built on the ashes of a brutal civil war. It has been ruled by a succession of kings and queens from the d'Oraguille royal family for a span of more than five hundred years.

The kingdom's capital of San d'Oria is a walled city defended by two orders of knights: the Royal Knights, who patrol the country's borders and seek to expand its territories, and the Temple Knights, responsible for protecting the country itself and maintaining domestic tranquility.

Living Standards
The ancient forest capital shows signs of deterioration, but with population growth in a state of gentle decline and many residences left vacant, overcrowding has not become an issue. The nation is also blessed with an abundance of fertile land for crops, and food is plentiful. However, heavy taxes and long military tenures leave few hands to work the fields, making life a challenge for the citizens of San d'Oria.

Climate
Even though it lies in a relatively cold region, San d'Oria has long been able to export its verdant crops of wheat and rye, along with shipments of lumber, through the independent town of Selbina. Also, large imported Selbina sheep can be seen grazing in the furthest reaches of the kingdom.

Military Organization
The San d'Orian army is divided into two arms: the Royal Knights and the Temple Knights. As well as having different duties, both orders are structured in different ways.

The Royal Knights
The Royal Knights are under the direct command of the General, forming the backbone of the San d'Orian army. Their main duties include regular punitive expeditions against enemies, along with patrolling and defending the country's borders. In times of war, numbers are bolstered by provincial troops from all corners of the kingdom.

The Temple Knights
The Temple Knights are a religious order charged with maintaining civil harmony within the capital. In times of peace, the Temple Knights are responsible for arresting criminals and heretics, providing security for the Chateau d'Oraguille and the cathedral, and putting down civil strife. When war engulfs the kingdom, they are often sent to the battlefield; in war, their duties extend to holding prayers for victorious outcomes and punishing crime and acts of immorality within the San d'Orian army.

The Royal Guard
The Royal Guard is the unit of knights responsible for the protection of the royal family. Traditionally chosen from the two orders of knights. It is considered to be an extremely high honor to be offered a position in the Royal Guard. Originally, the Royal Guard were an elite branch of the San d'Orian Military charged with the defense of the castle. Suffering irreplaceable losses during the Crystal War, the unit was later reorganized into the current Royal Guards.
