Valeon

Valeon is a kingdom in Sanctum, south of Aestagia.

History
After the first kingdom of Keyvoria falls, its inhabitants scatter across Sanctum. Some of these peoples come to inhabit the regions north of the fallen kingdom, past the dense rainforests and such. In these semi arid prairies and valleys of rushing water and sufficient livestock, they enjoyed a prosperous life free from the crises in the south. Valeon was the title given to the land after its seemingly endless rolling low hills and valleys, and grew to be a central part of the Empire of Sanctum before expanse grew eastward and Valeon was put second. Despite this, it remained a land with a relaxed climate.

When the Empire collapsed, Eristar was sent to Sanctum and awoke here in northern Valeon on an island in a lake. He appeared to be a god who wielded generous powers, and so the Valeonic people worshipped him and named their lands after him. Soon, much of the central parts of the Empire were annihilated and cast into the sea, leaving around half of Valeon lost to time. However, this benefitted the region as it was now in closer proximity to the sea, becoming more lush and a generally rainy place to be, pushing the steppes and deserts back.

Eristar returned to his new land and ruled it for many years, later expanding outward to form a larger kingdom named Aestagia. Eristar found a new name and moved on, but he never forgot his founding lands, and they did not forget him. Well, although Valeon was brought back as the title of the land as it seceded from Aestagia after Dahlia's takeover, the culture of Valeon slowly changed into its own, yet remembrances of Eristar still remain strong around every corner.

Geography and Climate
Valeon is a diverse land located in the temperate and subtropical regions of Sanctum, from around 25 to 48 degrees north. Its borders are the Tolwen River to the east, the Ateran Mountains to east, unnamed mountain range to the north, western edge of the Mian Eristar, the unnamed western hills, and the unnamed southern river. A lot of unnamed things. Southern Valeon is semi arid plains and gently transforms northward into flat and fertile grasslands, marshes, and swamps. Northern Valeon retains its namesake and has many green vales, fast rivers, and magical forests. On Valeon's northwestern border is the Mian Eristar, a massive forest hiding many secrets.

The southern half of Valeon is primarily a humid subtropical (Cfa) climate, experiencing hot and humid summers, cool winters, and year round precipitation. The farther inland one goes, the climate turns semi-arid (BSh and BSk) with hot summers and mild to cold winters depending on the latitude, and meagre rain depending on the generosity of the year. The northern half of Valeon is continental (Dfa and Dfb), experiencing hot to warm summers and cold winters often graced with snow.
