Ages back, There was a kingdom called DRUINATE. Druinate kingdom located with boundaries of mountains on the north, followed by the LIVANITE kingdom. The dark Forrests on the west followed by TOTHEN kingdom. East bounded by the five lakes followed by the drudora kingdom and high seas bound south.
Druinate has a moderate climate with grasslands, little snow cover, and a beautiful river flowing from mountains.
The druinate kingdom is ruled by the APIAN family. The people in the druinate live with peace and prosperity under king LUIWEN APIAN.unlike his father and grandfather, king luiwen is diplomatic and much more interested in administration than wars. CITRO APIAN is the ancestor of the druinate kingdom, and his son ADURIUS extended the kingdom, strengthened the military, and built a capital with a massive wall that is impossible for enemies to penetrate.
At first, the Apian family is from a village called Druinate. Druinate people are tall and muscular; hence, they were the majority of soldiers in the AUCREOZIA empire; when the aucreozia empire crumbled, then Citro Apian, the king's hand, did rebellion with other soldiers and established the Drunate kingdom.
Druinate has multiple religions, with the official royal religion being THEIS religion with Agnus as creator Athena as the goddess of fertility, love, and life. Cyrus as war god and keto as destroyer and ruler over darkness. Traditionally the Apian family are Cyrus worshippers, but the luiwen and stegella love Athena more, so they built more temples of Athena, including a massive Athena temple in the capital. As more people in Drunaite worshiped Athena, the people got more attracted to luiwen when he built the temple of Athena, and people gave the title "peoples king." the prayers and offerings are banned during the night as they believe that prayer in darkness will strengthen god keto (the destroyer).
Luiwen became king at the age of 19 years after his father's death, king adrius, in the war with the livanait kingdom. Hence, luiwen continued wars with the livanait kingdom. The rivalry between drunaite and livanait is from decades, as the drunaite kingdom seized command from the AUCREOZIA empire, an ally to livanait kingdom.
These wars resulted in the loss of lives and resources for both kingdoms. The peace talks were done between luiwen and king aries voloties to maintain peace in borders; hence there has been peace between both kingdoms for the past decade.
In the past decade, druinate became a superpower economically and militarily because of the luiwen administration and the mining of lightweight iron ore.
Luiwen administration has a stable structure, which is adopted by many other kingdoms like the drudora kingdom. luiwen administration had a multi-layers administrative system, with the king and his ministers as supreme administration followed by administrators for a group of villages and group of people acting as intermediaries in village levels.
Drunaite has a mining field in the east where lightweight iron ore is extracted, exported to many kingdoms. The iron ore from druinate is lightweight. It is used for making swords and armors. Druinate used to swap high breed horses from drudora with iron, food grains, and wine from the tothen kingdom. There is no trade between the drunaite and the livanait kingdom.
Luiwen is married to stegella apian at the age of 27; stegella is from a druinate village, a trader's daughter. One day when luiwen was hunting, he saw stegella. luiwen is attracted to her charm as stegella is gorgeous with beautiful red hair and fair skin tone. On the next day, Luiwen married her. Stegella and luiwen had no children. They worshipped Athena for children. Day by day king started agonizing about his heir.
One day, King luiwen, coming from the parade of northern command, sees empty villages without a lamp in any house and passes village by village. He experiences complete darkness.
"where are the people," the king asked.
"I don't know my king," the commander replied.
The soldiers are whispering." what happened."
While moving towards the capital, the king and his soldiers saw a flashing light and heard a noise.
The king and soldiers listen to slogans "hail daughter of Athena. "
While watching the king, the cheers get louder.
The royal court priest rushes to the king,
"your majesty, you are gifted with a daughter on the goddess Athena Festival." the priest said.
King jumped from the horse with delight and rushed to the fort. He entered into queen hall with tears rolling through his cheeks, watched the queen's sparkling face, and held the hand of the queen, and kissed her on the forehead.
"love u my queen," the king said with joy.
Maid gets closer and gives the baby to the king's hand; he holds the baby with pleasure and shaking hands, his heartbeat goes high his eyes are filled with joyful tears. The king is staring at the little princess, which is like a tiny ball in his hand. King touches her little hand; as soon as the king touches she holds the king's finger. The king kissed her and placed her beside the queen.
King heard the cheers of people; he brought the little princess to the tower and flaunted her to the people.
Then they started to roar,
"hail princess, hail daughter of Athena,"
then the king began to throw gold coins into the crowd with gladness. "tomorrow at every Athena temple there will be a feat throughout the kingdom." the king shouted.
The people chanted, "hail king luiwen, long live our king."
The king ordered a feat to the royal family and his minister. They were all amassed in a great hall, the long wooden table was filled with delicious feasts, and wine flasks were kept on the table. The servants are serving
feasts to everyone. The king stood up, and everyone stood up
"on the occasion of my hiers birth, everyone enjoy your feast and bless my daughter, hail mother Athena," the king shouted.
The delegates and royal members chanted, "Hail mother Athena."
After a few weeks, the king and the royal family offered prayers to the goddess Athena in the temple. The little princess is dressed in a little white dress and placed in a baby's tub near the feet of Athena's idol. The high priest is started to do rituals. Then king and queen offered gold and ornaments to Athena, and then the priest wiped the baby head with water by chanting. The other priest also started chanting while playing bells. Th en the higher priest placed a holy coin on the baby's head and named her Clara Apian. As Per their tradition, the king offered his daughter as a servant of Athena. Until her marriage, she has to serve Athena in the temple as a virgin servant.
After a few days the king's council gathered in a great hall, the king arrived along with his wife stegella, and everyone in the great hall stood up and chanted "hail king luiwen", the king sat on the throne. King signaled to start the council,
