Kingdom of Paradine (Par-ah-dine)
The banner of Paradine is a wolf within an octagon and two paws on opposite corners and swords crossed upwards and downwards on opposite corners. the octagon represents the religion of cherubism aka monoism, the wolf represents King Wolf-Blood and the paws represent his early days when he was raised by wolves and the swords represent his campaign when conquering southern Samora.

Assets
before the Qualzonian treaty, the Paradine kingdom had a vast collection of ships and they traveled the great seas, they had a greatly skilled army that could even fight mages, they had many trade routes with many kingdoms across the world. but now they are isolated by their treaty with the Qualzonian Empire and have barely any access to the outside world. their army has been cut down to a few hundred soldiers, their ships no longer in use and their great wealth has been stolen to pay reparations for the empire.
History
in the 45th year of the 11th era, a baby was born in the mountains near wolf soul village, parents died from the freezing winters and he was found by a pack of wolves, but by a miracle the baby was taken in as one of the wolf pack, and many years have passed since then and the young man learned to speak with his fellow man and later would become a known member in the village. one day he learned of a group of death mages had terrorized a couple towns near his village and knew if he didn't stop them, they could cause trouble to him, and so he journeyed to the towns and slayed the mages. and then after a few more great feats, his name began to spread like wildfire and he was admired, and many people from the villages and towns that he had saved/helped had elected him to become the king who is worthy to continue the legacy of the Paramax kingdom under the new name of Paradine...
