Kingdom of Kraestret

The Kingdom of Kraestret, where the dense fog of what may be shadows your every step, is a land that possesses an eerie charm. The capital city Drökkburg is gothic in design, with wrought iron having been blended together with cobble stones to form an imposing city. Eccentric is one word that may be used to describe the privileged inhabitants who seek above all else power.

“The privilege of supremacy is not inherited but machinated.” Is a motto of Kraestret.

Religion

Religion has changed a great deal in the last century for all of the kingdoms since the fall of the Thorn King.

Governance

The native people of Sanctuary are have become accustomed to unusual and sweeping changes in the leadership and ruling class of their individual kingdoms as noble houses, both great and small ever vie for control of the lands. This fiction is brought to life in the web-based game RPCSS which allows for player teams to compete for control of estates, strongholds, castles and the five capitals. However, each kingdom has its own traditions of leadership, some of which have been in implementation for centuries.
