Kingdom of Syntheia

A young kingdom, A little under four decades old. The Princedoms themselves date back around a century.   Traits:
(+)Aristocratic: Your nation has a long and proud history of aristocracy, and they have great power. Your kings are stronger all around for their council of nobility, but desperate times for your nation may bring about betrayal. - High Princes come together to rule under the High King. Light eyes explanation goes here.
(+) Rare Metals: Your nation has access to rare metals, the sort of stuff required to create special artifacts of incredible use and value. - Meteorites collide with the mountains of Syntheia to cultivate Astral Shards . These are primarily used for the creation of Shardblades, Shardcores and hold a myriad of uses.
(-)Monsters: Monsters exist in this land, although they are beasts of legends. Terrible events can befall any settlement or travelling group at any moment. -Greatshells and Chasmfiends inhabit the deep forests and mountains of Syntheia.

Structure

Government form: High Princes owe fealty to the High King. There are four High Princes, Leon Sadeas, Aleni Flarres(the sole "High Princess"), Daemion Theia, and brother of the reigning High King, Karsten Helios each of which lead their own houses which each control one princedom of Syntheia. The position of High King is elected by the 4 High Princes upon the death or abdication of the throne. Society is cut into two divisions, those of "light eyes" who have light colored eyes, and the "dark eyes" who make up the lower class and have darker eye colors. The highest point of the dark eyes caste is lower than the lowest of the light eyes caste. Dark eyes can reach higher levels of society but only on the rarest of occasions through great feats. Not every light eye is created equal and thus they have their own levels of caste within their half of society as well.

Public Agenda

To preserve the Kingdom and lead Syntheia to glory and prosperity.

    Landing in Syntheia
    Discovery, Exploration

    Explorers from the north(insert kingdom here) land in the northwest bay of Syntheia, creating a settlement that would become modern day Yeven. These explorers would come to name this newfound land Syntheia, the island under the stars. The infant city of Yeven would begin to see an influx of immigrants from other nations and the population grew from a modest several dozen to a robust several hundred.

    The Exploration of Syntheia
    Discovery, Exploration

    Men and women from far and wide flooded into the port of Yeven hoping to get their piece of the Island of Syntheia. From the city of Yeven, bands of explorers trekked out into the wilds, charting out island down to every forest and river. Parties moved to the south, to the east, and to the north, discovered new wonders in the land of Syntheia seemingly every other day. One such band reached the Inlustris Mountain Ranges, leading to a discovery that would change the course of Syntheian history forever.

    The Starlight Conquest
    Military action

    What once sat as a shattered state, bound in years of endless battle became a prosperous island nation led by the esteemed High King. The first High King was Fevius Helios, the Starlit Conqueror who united the princedoms through years of conquest. His campaign started in the east nearby to his own princedom. His troops fought with a fury never before seen in previous wars. Shielded by his Astral Shard enhanced armor and armed with his blade, 'Starfall,' Fevius was an unmatchable force on the battlefield. He waged war beneath the cover of night under the open sky allowing his shards to be clear to see for all on the battlefield. The wars waged became known as the Starlight Conquest and they would unite the Isle of Syntheia for the first time in it's history.
