Kingdom of Arcania
The Kingdom of Arcania is born out of desperation and anger of the formerly conquered state of the Republic of Sevrinkar by the now destroyed Kingdom of Daromin. After decades of mistreatment, a lack of protection, and corrupt nobles taking advantage of the weakened south, three leaders rose up against Daromin and declared rebellion after Queen Eleanor Daromin attempted to arrested all Southern Leaders for treason. The leader of the rebellion was Lyanna Ashglade, newly named Duchess of the City of Carateux (renamed to Ashglade by her late husband). Duke Ashglade was murdered by a minor Oblex who seized power, and with the help of the Glade Guardians, Lyanna Ashglade was able to destroy the creature and restore power.
With forces that made up barely 1/3 of the Darominian Legions, the Southerners realized they had to seek support, and win through trickery. The Glade Guardians sought a weapon of mythical power to anoint a leader of the South, to give them legitimacy. Through a failed attempt to gain Kingsrise, the Glade Guardians traveled to Mount Celestia, and were able to pass the trials and gain possession of Solarion, the Spear of the Sun, which was used to crown Queen Lyanna Ashglade, First of her name. The Ashglade dynasty would become one of the most powerful forces in Korrisia, and heavily influence world affairs.
The Glade Guardians searched for months to find a weapon of mythical repute, with the power of the gods imbued inside. The Guardians were able to travel to Mount Celestia, and passed the numerous trials by the Archons who lived there, and were allowed to try and pull Solarion from its resting place. A member of the Glade Guardians was brave and noble enough to pull the spear loose, and command its power.
Upon their return to Ashglade City, the Guardians made the decision to name Lyanna Ashglade as Queen of Arcania. A crown was forged by Dwarven villagers, made of Adamantine and Mithral, and Queen Ashglade was crowned.
The Kingdom of Arcania is a beacon of hope and nobility in the world of Korrisia. The Ashglade Dynasty has reined for over two centuries, and the Kingdom itself has experienced two Golden Ages during this time. Every Ashglade who ascends the throne works tirelessly to live up to the standards of Lyanna Ashglade I. The newest monarch to rule is King Demetrius Ashglade II, Son of Demetrius I. King Ashglade has proven that not all members of the House of Ashglade can be as heroic as Lyanna I. Demetrius has been both slothful and contented, he has been able to keep most of the nobles quiet, but his inaction or slow responses are beginning to show, as corruption is slowly seeding its way in. Duke Markus Walkelin, descendant of rebellion leader Andreu Walkelin, openly criticizes Demetrius' reign, and Demetrius is too scared of Walkelin to stop him. There are even whispers of the Walkelin Dynasty being passed over for the crown when the decision was originally brought up, that Lyanna stole the throne for her own power-hungry gain, and that the Kingdom would be even more prosperous with a Walkelin on the throne.
The Kingdom of Arcania has recently shifted to become a loose "Republic" under the reign of the last Duke Walkelin, Lutrec, who is known as the "Thronebreaker." Lutrec staged a vicious civil war that resulted in the death of all known members of the Ashglade Line. Lutrec quickly moved to outlaw the monarchy, and declared himself the Lord Protector.

Disbandment
The Kingdom of Arcanum was officially disbanded when the Northern Empire launched the invasion of the Middle Continent. After the Thronebreaker was executed by Emperor Aelzan, the Emperor declared that the Kingdom was dissolved, and Arcanum was now the Arcanian Tier of the Empire.
The Arcanian Tier now stands as a territory of the reformed Northern Empire, the Empire of Korrisia.
