As you've probably guessed from the name, this topic is designed to collect all of the lore and worldbuilding pertaining to the Castle RP. Here I will be posting all of the lore and worldbuilding I've done, as well as links to the map in the LEGO Gallery. For ease of finding information, I would prefer that people keep posting here to a minimum. Information pertaining to this topic can be discussed in the Castle RP Rules/FAC/Voting Topic. I will also consider suggestions of what to post about both in this topic and the previously mentioned Rules topic. Suggestions can be anything from a sentence to several paragraphs, but I reserve the right to change any information presented in them.
Here is a list of everything I plan on transferring here from the original Topic:
Links to the maps and flags
The kingdoms of the North
Probably a summary of the Stennev'avfjellan Civil War and the other Events Possibly a continuation of the "Derive the Animal the Villain is Modeled After Based on my Descriptions" Contest
The Dragons
I might also add:
The races found on the RP continent
Information about the continent of Kalhtrain, where the Xain Empire is from
So expect all that stuff to be added within maybe a week. I will be posting the most important parts first.

Never seen the flags one before, those are really cool! What are the different names though? Are they the HQs, and if so, which name goes with which HQ?

Military: Aardhemir’s military used to be very powerful, but it has recently declined quite sharply.

Population: Humans, elves, dwarves, sentient animals, and many others can be found in Sylvania.

Never seen the flags one before, those are really cool! What are the different names though? Are they the HQs, and if so, which name goes with which HQ? Thanks! They are the kingdoms of the North. They are just background information, though they can be used to enrich a character's backstory.

Kingdoms of the North Part Three
Harmonia
Colors: Sand Green, Dark Blue, White, Tan
Flag: A white moon and stars on a dark blue sky over sand green hills and a tan path
Capital: Vradya
Government: Harmonia is monarchical. (Current Leader: King Viatoro)
Environment: Harmonia is mostly forested, except for the north. There are some mountains in the northwest. The wildlife there mainly includes overlap from Sylvania, Stennev’avfjellan, and Auraboria.
Military: Harmonia has no real organized military.
Population: Harmonia is mostly elven, with a sizable dwarven population that migrated from Stennev’avfjellan.
Stennev’avfjellan
Colors: Purple, Gray, Black
Flag: A purple fist in front of a gray mountain on a black field
Capital: Sjal'avstenr Government: Stennev’avfjellan consists of several semi-independent city-states, each governing itself for the most part, but the most important decisions are made by a council of all the city-states, led by Sjal’avstenr. (Current Leader:Ingibjurg detra’Pernila)
Environment: Stennev’avfjellan consists of the Honndritenar mountain range as well as the surrounding hills. The terrain is for the most part rough and rocky but evergreen trees grow around the feet of the mountains. Its wildlife consists mainly of rock wyrms (Steniwirmr), short-faced bears, large mountain goats, eagles, deer, rabbits, and additional smaller mammals and birds.
Military: The various parts of Stennev’avfjellan have different military strengths, as each city or town has traditionally maintained its own military. Eyd’avkrigan is the most militarily powerful city since training soldiers is its main purpose.
Population: The people of Stennev’avfjellan are almost entirely dwarves, with a few smatterings of others especially near the southern border. The Bliknisor and Stentrulr inhabit the depths of the Honndritenar mountains.
Oruthal
Colors: Lavender, Dark Lavender, Light Blue, Pastel Blue
Flag: A lavender dragon rising over a light blue sea on a pastel blue field.
Capital: Kainospet
Government: Oruthal practices something of a meritocracy, electing a leader from its greatest warriors. (Current Leader: Prokopis the Red)
Environment: Oruthal’s terrain varies across its islands and coastal territories. Some are grassy, others are forested or mountainous. The central island has mountains in the center and forest in the south.
Military: Oruthal has a very strong military, including many that ride Orodrakus (commonly called Wind Drakes) and a powerful navy. The soldiers typically wear armor that almost makes them look like walking insects.
Population: Oruthal’s population is widely varied, including humans, dwarves, elves, goblins, orcs, and others.

Never seen the flags one before, those are really cool! What are the different names though? Are they the HQs, and if so, which name goes with which HQ? No, these are the Kingdoms of the North, which are used to expand the world and used for Events. HQ's don't have flags their.
