My name is Rhemil Rhoa, and I was once a Knight of the Order of Iron. As I am confine within these walls of stone, awaiting my execution, I will recounted my story to you, O the stranger in the dark. Our disastrous defeat has greatly changed the order. Our illusions of obligation and honor, of grandeur and glory, of wealthy and pillage ,which we held ourselves to before, have entirely disappeared. Lord Eisen has given into apathy and refuses to see anyone, his sons, all of them have died in the siege. The officers rounded up the remaining dregs of our order and relocated us under the ruins of the fortress. It's a dismal, depressing place, but it's better than staying the forests among the corpses of our men. No one wanted to join the fight anymore, after all, one can only do so much against such overwhelming strength. The Auturo Kingdom has ordered the execution' of anyone that dare to enact desertion. And that means the inquisition's dungeon, torture, and death in the cleansing flames is all that awaits us back home should we had not died..... Dark, black, hungering crows no longer appear in our camp above. In their stead has appeared a most shining warriors high above our heads. They are mighty and like gods, are not afraid to use force against anyone standing in their way.....it was.....a mistake for the likes of us mortal to dare peek unto the domain of The Gods.....May the Holy Spirit save our soul..... —————-——————————————- This is a work of fiction.

THE MYSTERIOUS 『NAMELESS KINGDOM』
Grand Library Record, Book III, Chapter 7
Near the border of 『Six Kingdom Alliance Zherion Prime』 and 『Eastern Principalities Soiha 』 of the Former Rakshasa Empire lays the 『Nameless Kingdom』.
It's called so that since it first encountered and appear in the Recorded History some 500 years ago, First discovered by the Ashenit Order belong to the Rakshasa Empire on one of their campaign against the savage barbarian horde of Uuoth. The Nameless Kingdom had never engages in any form of interactions with the outer world whether it political, economic or military affairs. As such the name of this state is unknown, so the register 『Nameless Kingdom』 was conveniently created to refer to this mysterious Kingdom.
The realm of the 『Nameless Kingdom』 is not that vast. It resembles a perfect circle with a radius of only about 50 kms or so (since precise measurement is virtually impossible). On the 'circle' circumference are very steep and tall cloud covered cliffs that serve as natural obstacle for people that want to enter the 『Nameless Kingdom』 by foot. However entering by air with flying mount is also discouraged at to do for obvious reason. Under Careful assessment using shadows technique and Sight Magic to measure the height of this cliffs returned value of 4 to 6 km High . It's rather unsurprisingly that the top of the cliffs had very vicious wind blow on it continuously, therefore the wyvern or lesser wyrm rider will encounter difficulty to climb it. Nonetheless this is still the least danger to enter the 『Nameless Kingdom』.
On the four cardinal directions, the cliffs had openings that measured about 400 Meters wide. Each of the openings is protected by 120 Meters high 『Golden Wall』that many called one of the many Wonders of the World. It's called 『Golden Wall』 due to the brilliant golden luster the wall gives when the sun shined on it. The wall itself is composed by unknown golden metal blocks the size of a house and is extraordinary hard. It didn't break or crack even when impacted by powerful siege weapon or destructive magic, light or dark. The lower wall had engraving of various scenes. The most commonly found scene is a depiction of hundreds full-plated warriors with various arms battle against large monster the size of small hills or human shaped beings in the sky, that some speculate these beings represent Gods or deity of unknown faith.
To reach this wall, the visitor must first climb the grand stairs from White Marble with 99 steps, each step is identical, with about 1 meter wide and about 1 feets high before ending in a great marble floor plaza that measured 100 meters wide. The marble floor had various color, tailored in such way to form intricate geometric repeating pattern that pleased the intellectual mind and soothes the eyes that seeks beauty. If someone thinks taking the stairs is troublesome, they can and may take what can be described as a sloped marble road that is milder although longer to trek. The road is quite wide so that even 50 horsemen can easily walk it side by side while still had enough space for their horse to make a full turn.
On the end of the Plaza, in the middle of the 『Golden Wall』 is another wonder of its own. A very large gate with two doors that are made from thousands gems of various colors, glittering like a rainbow floating in a silver sea. This 『Gems Gate』 is measured about 80 meters on it height and length. The gems size is a size of a fruit that has entice many thieves, mercenaries, and kingdoms with greed in their heart to pry the gems from the gate doors. Fortunately until this day no one has ever succeeded as these gems are attached by using unknown technique or magic that no known force can separate it.
What the shape of land or cities lays beyond the wall is unknown. Wyvern rider scouts reports that the 『Nameless Kingdom』 is covered by mist or fog all year long. Even with the obscured sights, the scouts can see shadows of a great castle and a large city inside it. The only occasion when the fog is dispersed is if some nation tries to invade the 『Nameless Kingdom』. Thus, some scholars and magic sages think that the fog is a defensive measure to prevent spying or scouting from the sky.
From the awe-inspiring wall and gate, one can only wonder how prosperous this 『Nameless Kingdom』 is. Such is the extent of exhibition of magnificence and parade of boundless wealth and glory that only a handful of nations can hardly mimic it without bankrupting their meager treasuries. So no wonder, many great Heroes, Conqueror, Emperor, or Uniter of Nations had try to take a dib on this seemingly endless wealth and write their name in golden ink of history; and failed, tragically in the mighty and prowess of the Gate's and Wall's 『Guardian』.
