Established Nation
Culebria, the Kingdom of the Sun, now stood as the most powerful in all of Auraria. The Eastern Kingdom’s defeat of Andaluz – the largest and most populous of the three Kingdoms – positioned it directly to assume chief political and economic strength. At the head of this power is King Roberto II. However, King Roberto II went on to become High King of Auraria and did not abdicate his throne in Culebria. As a result, his younger brother Duke Simón leads as Lord Regent.
The Lord Regent was walking down a hall in the palace. Simón Calderón was Duke of Castellon, a prestigious position usually held by the King of Culebria. He was a tall man, and equally thin. At 43, Simón had short, dark hair and dark eyes, a common trait amongst the Calderóns.
He always dressed formally, clothing that the common folk confused with military uniforms. Over his right shoulder was a sash that was orange with red and yellow bands on the edges, the colors of House Calderón. At his side, where the two ends of the sash met, was the sigil of House Calderón. This sash was worn by all nobility within the Family. Around his neck was the collar of the Order of the Golden Sun. The collar was gold with nine rubies and a pennant of a sun hanging from the middle, which bared an eerily resemblance to the sigil of House Calderón. The obsession with the sun that House Calderón had was embraced fully.
The Lord Regent approached the end of the hallway and two guards opened the door for him. In the room sat Josué Araya. Chancellor of Culebria. He quickly rose at the sight of the Duke.
“Your Grace,” he said.
“Lord Josué,” Simón answered.
The Duke took his seat behind a desk. Behind him was three large windows, opened, which allowed the breeze to blow the curtains. The warm air was comforting.
“His majesty, High King Roberto II, intends to return to Castellon in the coming weeks,” the Chancellor said.
“What reason did my good brother give?” Simón asked.
“None, your Grace, I was simply given the message from Chancellor Calderón in Solis,” Araya said.
“Well then, begin preparations. Since we have no idea what we’re preparing for, you might as well keep it broad,” the Duke said.
“Of course, your Grace,” the Chancellor replied, standing, and bowing to the Duke.
The Chancellor existed the room and the Duke went back to work.
