Aestagia

Aestagia is a medium sized kingdom in the world of Crimson Assassin. The kingdom of Havenwood borders Aestagia to the west past the Rym Aithos mountains. In the past, Aestagia was a name given to the much larger province made up of several kingdoms, Eristar, Drasgarnia, Edrelion, and more. These kingdoms seceded soon after Dahlia seized power, leaving only the lands west of the Aestagian Sea.

Aestagia was formerly known as a "perfect world" where everyone had rights and injustice did not exist. Farming and fishing were central industries, and the military consisted of "sentries," common folk who were tasked with protecting the kingdom from harm and stopping crime. Flawless also had a set of expert sentries at his side, much like Dahlia did during her reign.

History
The current realm of Aestagia was once a quaint region with few villages spilling over from Drasgarnia. One could say that it was Drasgarnia's easternmost march, though it was very seldom traveled and held little unity to the central kingdom. The villages here had their own identity, that is until Eristar and a band of his most trusted scouts passed through the tunnels leading through the southern mountains and made camp at the foot of them. Lawless needed cover and shade and created the Rust Forest, and eventually united the villages here into the greater Kingdom of Aestagia. Because this land was little developed, he built a large palace on the shores of the sea to call his own, and decided this would be the best location to start a sect of his own basis and creation, starting anew.

The capital was constructed in the northwest near the Rym Aithos as a city named Gladellor, and a pass was made to link with Havenwood with a second fortress-city named Dolorost. Upon the idea that Flawless's powers could be overcome, a rebellion of citizens attempted to overthrow Flawless but failed of course. The capital was ruined and moved to his palace as a new city named Aermont.

Geography and Climate
Aestagia is a land located in the northern temperate region with some locations within the polar region, spanning the latitudes of 50 to 60 north. Its borders are the Rym Aithos mountains in the west, the Rym Verren mountains in the north, Aestagian Sea in the east, and the unnamed mountains in the south. Grasslands dotted with multicolored flowers are the main environment in Aestagia, and patches of mixed deciduous and coniferous forest dot the plains, though few in number. Aestagia's northern reaches feature dull grassy hills with jagged outcroppings with scattered conifer trees.

Aestagia is mainly a Dfb climate, meaning it has warm summers with cold winters. Only the northern reaches are a Dfc climate (subarctic) where summers are less warm and winters longer and colder. Rain is frequent here, but slightly less than average due to a slight rain shadow effect from the Rym Aithos.

Capital- Aermont
The Kingdom of Aestagia's Capital is Aermont, a large circular citadel on the western coast of the Aestagian Sea at around 55 degrees north. It is broken up into four separate sections. The north is inhabited by the rich upper class, also being the location of the royal palace. The west is designed for merchants and shops, and more based for the militarily. The east is primarily residential for the middle class, and like the west, has many shops and services. Finally, the south is full of industry and warehouses, and is generally the poorest section of the kingdom. Built by Flawless, Aermont was designed using inspirations from Lan Akania, a city in the far away Kingdom of Ralyme.

In each side of the city is a gate, and there are four gates serving as the entrances and exits to Aermont. The gates are areas just outside of the city's walls where many people set up stands to sell wares. Besides the constant traffic, the gates are places to hold the military.
