A nation of islands for outcasts, pirates, rouges, theives, practicers of the darker arts, and those who just want a place to roam around. Founded through battle, forged by loyalty, Rathkeale is strong in magic and the ways of the sea. Demons are not welcome here, and full blooded elves are treated with great distrust if not open hostility. They have invaded our homeland after all.

Rathkeale is one of the four Kingdoms that make up the larger nation known simply as The Empire. The Empire is ruled equally by four leaders: Emperor Artex Bluebane of Rathkeale, High General Cinnabar of the Borderlands, High Chancellor Trent of Achoria, and High Lord Devlin of Shadowdragon. The Empire rules over much territory and many people, with the common goal of living in security and prosperity for all our people.

The Kingdom of Rathkeale is made up of Five Counties - the island of Rathkeale, the island of Videssos, the island of Vanguard, the Crimson Isles, and the penninsula of Rockwood. We seek to expand ourselves and our holdings along the coast, to rid our main island of the Blue Elves, and show our proper respect to the Earth Mother who tends to us, and Hades, who protects us. For what is death but a part of life?

The military capital is Crucible on the Island of Videssos. It and the smaller ports are free trade areas, open to all who would not raise arms against Rathkeale. Donovale is the diplomatic capital where no weapons other than authorized Rathkealian military. A good place to hold diplomatic meetings between nations where trust in an issue.

We believe in maintaining pockets of order where it is necessary to rule and greet the outside world. Otherwise we believe in the freedom of the individual, and the chaos that comes with it. Long live the Free Kingdom of Rathkeale!
