History

The kingdom of Keramose has been under the leadership of the divinely appointed royal family of Alizan for all of recorded history. It is now a time of peace. The war with Kashintar now represents itself with occasional boarder disputes but the great armies of the past have long since been disbanded. However the boarder between the two kingdoms is patrolled by Keramose Horsemen and the Kashintar keeps.

The capital city of Keramose is the grand city of Keramose. It has been the seat of human power in the region for hundreds of years. To the south of the capital is the city of Everask. Everask is controlled by Duke Edmon Alizan III the eldest brother to King Henry Alizan IV. Everask is a city as old as Kashintar. It is rumored that the city was originally of dwarven architecture. Leverask holds the Royal Library which is said to be the most comprehensive source of knowledge in all the realm. The priests of the Divine Light are it’s care takers and the only ones besides the royal family who are allowed to peruse it’s secrets.
