Geography
The hill on which the Royal Academy stands is surrounded by a large forest of conifers.[3]
After the Lanzenave invasion was defeated, the new Zent Eglantine, redrew the duchy borders and formed the new duchies Blumenfeld and Korinthsdaum from former Sovereign lands. The Sovereignty shrinks to the Royal Academy grounds and can only be reached through each duchy's Royal Academy teleportation circle.
History
According to legends, this central part of the country was where the gods appeared before the first king and chose him as the ruler of this new country and allowed him to make the first copy of the bible, at exactly the point where later the Royal Academy would be erected.
After the civil war, the ranks of nobles within the Sovereignty were severely depleted. To fill the ranks many nobles and priests from other duchies were called to the Sovereignty, exacerbating the mana shortage caused by the purges even more.
Story
