Geography
Aquiloria is a breath-taking coastal kingdom, nestled between lush green mountains and crystal-clear waters. The kingdom boasts a series of domed, elegant structures that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape around it, playing together the natural flora and fauna as part of its Kingdom.
Government and Politics
Aquiloria is governed by the High Council of Elders, a group of wise and respected leaders chosen from various sectors of society, including scholars, merchants, and spiritual guides and they are only given power after a vote by citizens. The council makes decisions based on consensus and ensures that the kingdom’s policies align with the principles of harmony and sustainability, aiding the people of the Kingdom above all else.
Economy
Aquiloria’s economy thrives on a combination of tourism and scholarship. Even though the Kingdom is called a coastal Kingdom, it actually does not possess any ports used for fishing or trade, the only ports in the Kingdom are there for travel. The Kingdom prides itself not on trading or fishing, but rather on their collection of knowledge and scholars. They are home to a large collection of knowledge, even believe to hold the most books in the world, and this alone provides them with great tourism and flocking students that wish to learn.
Culture and Society
The culture of Aquiloria is deeply rooted in a respect for nature and the pursuit of knowledge. The inhabitants live in harmony with their environment, practicing sustainable living and environmental stewardship while also striving for more knowledge. Festivals celebrating the sea, the sky, and the changing seasons are integral to the community’s social fabric. Music, art, and storytelling are highly valued, with performances and exhibitions held regularly in the public squares and gardens.
Schools litter the Kingdom as they welcome anyone willing to learn to take part in the study of the many different forms of arts and knowledge the Kingdom posses.

Military
While Aquiloria is a peaceful kingdom, it maintains a capable defence force known as the Skyguard. This elite unit is trained to defend the kingdom from both land and sea threats, utilizing advanced tactics and technology. The natural geography of the region, including its mountainous terrain and coastal fortifications, provides additional defensive advantages.
Above all else they have a single entity which protects them, this being goes by the name of the Book Keeper, and they oversee the largest library within the Kingdom and ensures its safety above anything else.
Religion and Beliefs
The people of Aquiloria do not have a major religion and are free to worship anything they please. As the Kingdom is largely a scholar kingdom, welcoming anyone that wish to study, it is a hotspot for different cultures and schools of thought. As such they do not force any religion upon anyone.
