Avalaunt
Avalaunt is a kingdom that is located twoard the center of Conebirek. A highly traditional kingdom, Avalaunt is currenty undergoing several troubles do to a prophecy tied to the current king and invasions from the Wyverian Empire.The kingdom itself is what you would expect from a medieval fantasy setting, with a knights, nobles, peasants and farmers. The kingdom is known as an “old kingdom”; The kingdom itself is slow to adapt new technology, especially Arcanotech . It would rather strengthen itself through traditional magic and societal foundations of fate, prophecy, and The Fates.
Structure
Avalaunt is a traditional monarchy, meaning that there is a ruling royal family consisting of a king and queen, with lords and ladies under them. Titles can be given to elevate peasants for their performance to the state. The king and queen rule the kingdom and decide its laws, determined by royal linage. The king and queen can also decide on lords and ladies to rule over provinces of the kingdom. When the king dies without a heir, the closest relative to the king becomes the king or queen, continuing the bloodline trait of leadership in this manor.
The only major difference from a traditional monarchy is the kings right to rule comes not from a traditional divine rule, but from a fulfilled prophecy. The kingdom places an extremely high value on prophecy and fortunes.

Culture
The values of the people of Avalaunt are generally screwed to view fate as more important than normal. While they are not particularly religious, they do understand The Fates role in their lives. As such fortune tellers, diviners, and bone casters have a higher influence here. Beyond a stronger tie to fate than most, Avalauntians seems to have a slight aversion to newer ideas of magic, especially Arcanotech and guns. This doesn’t come from an ignorance of magic. Far from it, they quite enjoy traditional spell casting and use it frequently. It more comes from a slower understanding newer ideas, and reluctance to try new ideas when the old ways work perfectly fine for them.
Public Agenda
In an ideal world, the country of Avalaunt would be left alone, free to do its own agendas away from the rapid advancement and changes of the other countries. However as it is currently entrenched in a war with the Wyverian Empire, its priority is the protection and security of its people at this time. There is concern about broken prophesies in relation to King at this time, but with the Empire currently looking to annex their lands, these concerns are being put on hold for the moment.
Assets
What Avalaunt lack in terms of technological advancement, it more than makes up with rare resources and its deep understanding of fate. It has access to vast natural resources, including meteorites which land with some frequency in the country. The meteorites are excellent arcane material for crafting, leading Avalaunt to be well known for its legendary weapon smiths. Additionally, possibly due to its deep understand of fate, Avalaunt is also well known for having people who have the ability to do Fate Weaving.
