INTRODUCTION
The story describes a kingdom with 26 known states .21 of the states are in one continent while the remaining known 5 states are in the other. The kingdom or the whole as it is called, has a king who is the supreme leader of both the continent, leader of the three councils, the righteous ruler as he or she is called. Further each state has their leaders called as Barons. They are also called as nobles or noblemen or lords of their respective states. The 21 states have their Barons whereas the 5 remaining which in the other continent have a combined reformer as he or she is called. The capital of the Kingdom is Goldam in the state of Meerat where the King resides in the Black Castle as it is called since it was built 4 centuries ago. King Richard 63 year old, ill and without a heir is relentless whether to give his crown to his young brother Moor who too is 61 years old or to give it to his Grandfather's Bastard named Bjornson ,42 , strongly build and a good choice as per the Minister Drakes. To the east of the great capital city of Gold am is the King sea. This sea borders the northern state Isleton, the eastern state Forsberry, Perseus and Eagan, the southern state Orton and the western states Lioncity and Meerat.  The king sea is the water means to travel between these 6 states.  Forsberry is the nearest state to the other remaining 5 states in the other continent. Forsberry is one of the oldest states of the whole. Only Lion City, Meerat are the other states older than Forsberry. Forsberry always has been a state for refugees, or for soldiers under punishment by the King. The exiled citizens are given to the reformer or are exiled outside to the unknown lands beyond the whole. The state Forsberry is called as the land of refugees. The Baron himself is bound not to punish those who surrender .All the pardoned or surrendered are send to the city Hayter which means "Pardonland" in the Forsberry tongue. There are small villages and blacksmiths in Hayter. One of the Blacksmith there is John, who has a wife and two children. John is an honorable man of 40, his wife Rhea, 39 is the opposite. She has a daughter of 16 named Lila. Lila is beautiful but has the same features both physically and mentally similar to her mother. The boy named George, 13 years of age is different from the others. He is as cunning as his sister and as honest as his father. His mother always scolded him for no reasons. His father used to get 10 copper coins for every sword he used to make. He would make 50 swords every year along with bows .arrows, pikes and shields. He would receive 600 a year which run the family well. But Johns wife wasn't satisfied with that.2 years ago she started sending her daughter to entertain the soldiers. She would dance and play drama to entertain the soldiers of Forsberry. She was played 4 bronze coins as a wager every month. A Bronze coin equaled 4 copper coins .The next year her wage increased to a silver coin every time she was at the soldier’s camp. That year she earned 60 silver coins which equaled 240 bronze coins and that further equaled 960 copper coins which were nearly double than her father’s yearly earnings. John didn't like her going to the camp. He never insisted her to go to war lands. He always thought camps are not a place for a woman and surely not girls. Over his 2 decades as a black smith he had seen soldiers raping young girls. But Rhea would always ignore him. Geo as often his father used to call him was a boy who lacked responsibility as his mother used to say. She would tell him to fetch water from the Forsberry Lake every morning which was nearly an hour walk from their hut. John never liked that, he used to go with Geo when he was free from his work. He used to send Geo to his friend Kai, who was good at reading. For 5 years Kai was teaching Geo the history of the whole kingdom, how it separated into 26 states. He was teaching the history of Forsberry people. Geo remembers what Kai used to teach at first. He first taught him about the Gods of the whole kingdom, the northern states like Atlas, Hoffhill regarded mountains and trees as their gods as they provided them with shelter and food. However Forsberry ,Idleton ,Riverland regarded seas as their gods .The Forsberry people used to call the king sea their mother. The state of Sundam regarded the river as god at ancient times but as the devil at modern times. Geo didn't understand then as he hadn't been familiar with the history of the Kingdom. He understood two years ago why they called the Aortan river the devil. The western states like Crew,KarlCity,Durt,LionCity ,Guston followed modern gods like Rhoy,Hurtle and Gusto who were all religious followers who came in the kingdom some 4 centuries ago. They were preachers but were regarded highly for their nonviolence reforms during the first modern war. Although these preachers were the main reasons behind the kingdoms separation 4 centuries ago, these 5 states highly regarded those preachers. They used to call the 3 preachers as The Trinity. The other states such as Jarland, Umberland follows strange myths considering ghosts. They used to believe that during ancient times the kingdom was run by a ghost. It was because of his sacrifice that he gave the kingdom to The King Elias ,the first king of the whole which was some 3000 years ago. They people of Jarland and Umberland paid respect to statues of monsters and ghosts. Although mythically or historically the fact was true that King Elias was the first King who was the righteous ruler for 50 years. The city of Meerat, Orton and Burton used to follow this; they used to quote For Elias or in the name of the White King as he was called, in every official hearings of the Kingdom. There was a huge golden statue of Elias in Burton which was the capital state at that time. It remained the capital for 2000 years until gold was found in the undergrounds of the city of Meerat. It was made the capital by the King Gulliver, who won the third ancient war, the first ancient being King Elias triumph to unite the 21 states into one continent. King Gulliver won the other remaining 5 states to the east which were believed to have flown from the state of Forsberry during primitive times. King Gulliver signed a pact 1000 years ago regarding the states of the kingdom. During the time of Elias, there were no Lords or Barons of each state, but King Gulliver gave right to every noble of each state to govern their state. The five remaining states chose to choose one leader called a reformer from thenespect to statues of monsters and ghosts.
