The Kingdom of San d'Oria

A kingdom located in the northern half of the Quon continent, forged from the fires of a tumultuous civil war by a proud race of warriors known as the Elvaan. The heads of the d'Oraguille family have ruled the kingdom in a line of unbroken succession for more than five hundred years. The nation's fortress-like capital of San d'Oria boasts impenetrable defenses manned by a pair of stalwart military orders: the Royal Knights, who secure the kingdom's borders and lead foreign expeditions; and the Temple Knights, who maintain public security and order within the capital.

Tips on how to roleplay

Elvaan are more specific in their attitudes, making them easier to roleplay for people who enjoy driven and zealous characters. Whether religious or secular, the Elvaan throw themselves into the center of issues, ignoring risk and complications. Seeking a logical conclusion to most problems, Elvaan will go against friends, family, and country if they feel that their path or honor has been wronged. This combination of strength and fortitude drives many Elvaan to become Warriors. Those of a religious leaning seek the tenants of the Paladin.

Elvaan, regardless of starting area, are usually played as very devout and motivated people. Regardless of their job, the standard is to find Elvaan who deal with problems quickly and directly. Talk and politics have their place, but actions are respected foremost. In San d'Oria, this is quite pronounced. The homeland of the Elvaan has seen war and strife simply because its people aren't willing to back down or bend their will to anything.
