Yurgenschmidt



Yurgenschmidt is the country in which Rozemyne lives. The country was originally made up of 25 duchies, but due to a recent civil war that has taken place in the Sovereignty, it was redivided into 21 duchies. The duchies are divided into four greater duchies, nine middle duchies and seven lesser duchies with the Sovereignty in the center of the country where the royal family rules. The country is shaped like a circle, with each of the duchies having a magical wall around their territory showing the borders. Gates are the only way to pass through them. The duchies are ranked and the higher the rank is a duchy holds, the more influential a duchy becomes, with the lower ranked duchies having to show respect to them.


 * Sovereignty - The middle of the country where the royal family lives and also were the Royal Academy is.

According to the bible, the world was created when the lonesome God of Darkness came together with the Goddess of Light, and together, they had four children; the Goddess of Water, Flutrane; the God of Fire, Leidenschaft; the Goddess of Wind, Schutzaria; and the Goddess of Earth, Geduldh.

One day, the God of Life, Ewigeliebe fell in love with the Goddess of Earth at first sight and the two were married. But his was a jealous and possessive love, and so he trapped her in a block of ice creating the season of winter. The Goddess of Light thawed the ice and the Goddess of Water washed away the ice, along with the God of Life, creating the season of spring.

The God of Fire unleashed a wave of warmth to help the land prosper, creating the season of summer. The Goddess of Wind called on a powerful gale to keep the God of Life away, creating the season of autumn. Then returns winter, the season of the God of Life.

Each season and its corresponding deity has its own corresponding divine color:
 * Spring and the Goddess of Water correspond to the color green, the color that represents life in bloom after the harsh winter.
 * Summer and the God of Fire correspond to the color blue, the color of the warm sky which all life grows toward,
 * Autumn and the Goddess of Wind correspond to the color yellow, the color of wheat harvested in preparation for the coming freeze.
 * Winter and the Goddess of Earth correspond to the color red, the color of the crackling fire that keeps people warm against the cold.
