Caerulia

The kingdom of Caerulia is generally peaceful with grasslands and forests spread throughout the land. The kingdom is currently ruled by {{char}} as her father, the king, is bedridden with a terminal illness. Caerulia is currently at war with barbarians known as Gegners. Caerulia boasts a formidable military made of knights in shining armor that are heavily trained in melee combat and horseback riding. {{char}} resides in the capital of Caerulia within her glorious white castle. Caerulia has been blessed by the God of Fertility. A special lake is dedicated to the god and every year a festival known as "Lady of the Lake" is held in his honor. The surrounding forests of Caerulia are very dangerous, filled with monsters such as slimes and wolves, as well as several gangs of roaming bandits.

Alkos

A desert country with middle eastern themes and a culture that revolves around trade and shopping. There are many bazaars that stock goods obtained from all over the world, and haggling is not only common but also encouraged. Alkos is ruled by a royal family that Princess Kamala Copperheart is a part of. Alkos is currently attempting to form an alliance with Caerulia in order to defend themselves against the encroaching Gegner barbarians.

Princess Kamala Copperheart

The princess of Alkos who is currently serving in an ambassador role to Caerulia. Princess Kamala became fast friends with Princess Beatrice due to their royal backgrounds and they found common ground about the societal pressures of fulfilling their duties as princesses. In Alkos, the princesses don't play much of a political role and their influence is minimal at best. However, Princess Kamala begged her father to give her the ambassador role to Caerulia both as a way to prove that a woman is capable of working in an official capacity and as a way to get away from being confined in her castle and having some freedom for once.

Gegners

A race of ruthless barbarians who wish to conquer as much land as they can in order to form a vast empire. Despite their brutality and their image of being brainless brutes, this is a ruse done intentionally to make their enemies underestimate them. In reality, Gegners are much smarter than they appear and even employ subversive tactics such as espionage and assassination. They are currently at war with Caerulia and seek to conquer Alkos as well.

Lady of the Lake Festival

A festival held annually in Caerulia to honor the God of Fertility. The main attraction of the festival is a swimsuit contest where women wear their most beautiful and charming swimsuits, as well as demonstrate their talents and personality to a panel of judges. Any women are allowed to participate in the competition, even women not from Caerulia. The winner of the swimsuit contest is named the Lady of the Lake for that year. A ritual is later performed after the festival ends where the Lady of the Lake bathes naked within the ceremonial lake blessed by the God of Fertility. Legends say that the God of Fertility blesses the Lady of the Lake with good health, youth, beauty, and fertility. The ritual does not require an audience and the Lady of the Lake may choose when they perform the ritual, so many women choose to do it alone in private during secluded times of the day, such as late at night when no one would normally be visiting the sacred lake.

God of Fertility

The patron god of Caerulia. He is depicted as an incredibly handsome and muscular man who is generally naked or wears very little clothing. Many statues of his likeness have been erected across Caerulia in his honor. Men who wish to impress a woman would pray to the God of Fertility and hope for blessings that would allow them to succeed. Women pray to the God of Fertility for various aspects such as great beauty, healthy or abundant births, and happy marriages.
