The Ruined Kingdom of Astora
Astora was an advanced region ruled by royalty, known for its brave knights, skilled craftsmen, and overall beauty. The knights of Astora are the protectors of the Fire, and their high-ranking knights wield powerful enchanted and blessed weapons. Astora was once assaulted by a dark beast, which was slain and its spirit bound to a magic ring. The spirit of the evil eye absorbs life, and probably reflects the properties of the beast. It took skilled craftsman to make such devices, which also reflects their ability to craft high quality weapons, advanced utilities and intricate architecture.
Astora was located in a northern kingdom which is well guarded from other hostile humanly forces by large mountains and various geological impasses. Only skilled travelers were able to navigate to Astora's gates and even then some were unable to obtain the ultimate achievement of making it through the harsh terrain.
Though its beauty is unmatched by any earthly view. It's a civilization which has surpassed most others in its enchantments and crafting, The surrounding township of the Astora castle isn't only well crafted and lively, but the people within are happy and humble. There is not a single place which matches the festival's and celebration's that the kingdom Astora held.
The kingdom now sits in a silent state, its decaying ruins bearing no life but that of vegetation. It's people long since perished from unknown happenings. Though the location and knowledge of how to get there has been lost through the centuries, The mere mention of Astora invoked wistful pangs in the hearts of so many. Both the Elite Knight's who have been accepted in by the church and now are one of the main forces that the church dictates, As well as by the people who are of Astoran heritage.
