A land blessed by the Gods. It was founded by Queen Zoe, of Aisha and her late husband with the blessings of the Gods. It is by far the most prosperous nation in the Budding Realms.
Political System
A monarchy based system. The current ruler is her highness Queen Zoe, following the death of late husband, Aisha’s First Ruler in the tragedy of the Emerald treasure ship.
The Royal Court
Although Zoe will always maintain the final say in matters pertaining to Aisha, she does have a royal court to advise her. She has selected exclusively her most trusted children as her council. Betrayal from them? Unthinkable.
The Eye of the Court
Some have speculated that the royal court has access to an extensive network of spies. In particular the Oligarchy of Cressida has made many attempts to learn how the royal court of Aisha seems to know so much information about foreign nations. Cressida has either refused to publish the existence of such an organization or it is currently unaware if such a network of spies exists.
Geography
The Kingdom of Aisha is northwest of the Sea of Mortimer, making it particularly prosperous because of trade of sea and its rich agricultural climate. However as a result of it’s unique location it is quite susceptible to severe storms.
City Districts
Aisha’s capital is divided into three separate districts. While none of the districts are poor by any means, Aisha is separated into three general classes of people.
Farming District
The outskirts of the city is a farming district. There the majority of food and grain is produced. It’s well guarded from foreign attacks and a good number of the residents in this district are in the local militia, making the food a grain relatively well protected. The yield of their grain is also quite impressive when compared to other nations.
Market District
The city market primarily resides here, in addition to a sizable port. It’s here where the majority of Aisha’s wealth flows. You’ll be able to find competent blacksmiths, experienced traders, various schools of magic, and lauded shipwrights.
Noble District
Without a doubt the nobles district is the most grand part of the Kingdom of Aisha. While most nobles do have a residence here, most spend the majority of their time at their primary estates in the various territories they were royally endowed with. Other than some primary residences, premium goods and services are offered here. You’ll need to be citizen of some notoriety to enter without the summons of Queen Zoe. Inside the noble district are four notable locations:
- The Knight’s Academy
- Aisha’s School of the Arcane for the Gifted
- The First Temple constructed to the Council of the Gods
- The crown palace itself
