Kingdom

Description
The Kingdom is the first faction you meet in the game. They are the "Good Guys", and are fighting against the forces of Norseland, who want to conquer the Kingdom.

Military
The Kingdom is a balanced faction, focusing on healing and defense rather than offence. They have access to Swordsmen, Archers, Priests, Donkey Riders, Catapult Bearers, Mounted Knights, Griffins and Golem. There is a person to lead the army, called the Protector. The only 2 known Protectors were Sir Gareth and his son, Sir Gavin.

History
The Kingdom engaged in the First War between the Kingdom and Norseland. Nobody was getting anywhere, and thousands of people were dying. The Peace Goddess was upset because of this, and wept 2 tears. These tears magically turned into gems of magical energy as they fell to earth, and the Norseland and Kingdom were so fascinated by the gems- The Blue Teardrop Gem and Red Teardrop Gem -that they stopped fighting. These gems were extremely powerful, and could be used to fire beams at enemies, or create magical shields powerful enough to stop projectiles, as well as extending the lives of those who wielded them. Later, when Sir Gareth was Protector, the Vikings attacked again. After fighting many bloody battles, Sir Gareth finally broke through the Border and went on the offensive in Norseland. However, he was cut off by a rockslide, and Lord Rufus used this to his advantage to say that Sir Gareth betrayed the current king, King Edgar, and left. Meanwhile, Sir Gareth fought his way through Norseland, eventually engaging in the Siege of Bladgard. When the siege came to its conclusion, the ground split open, and a massive lava moat appeared, alongside a Lava Dragon, summoned by Ramhorn. Sir Gareth perished at the bite of the dragon, while defending Freia, leader of the Viking Resistance. Later on, his son would become Protector, and in his shift, Princess Poppy, the current heir, was kidnapped by Ramhorn so he could annex the Kingdom through Marriage. The Kingdom, led by Sir Gavin, spearheaded an assault on Ramhorn, defeating him and rescuing Princess Poppy. Ramhorn went into the troll pits, and Lord Rufus was discovered as working with Ramhorn so Rufus could have the throne. When Rufus was caught by Freia, he too was sent to the troll pits.
