The Kingdom of Barat can be found in the extreme west of the Benua continent surrounded by lush forests of Fog. The kingdom is also known for its natural resources and trade center. One of the things that the Kingdom is proud of is their quality agricultural and fishery products. Not only in their quality products that the kingdom was known but also in their armed forces that are feared by other kingdoms in different parts of the world.

The Kingdom of Barat is ruled by King Aldrich Abasdarhan I. A King who is feared but has a strong will for all his subjects.

Even before he was appointed and assumed office as the King of the Kingdom of the West. King Aldrich I was a valiant General in the Galah Empire which was one of the three most powerful Empires in the world. The Empire of Galah was the one with the largest territory ruled by a strongest and most powerful Emperor, Emperor Habicus Agaraha.

During the first five years of Emperor Habicus' rule, the entire Empire became more famous for its skill and humaneness among its subjects, but as the years passed, its behavior seemed to change. The former humane empire is now gradually oppressing the people.

Because of the changes that occurred in the Galah Empire, the four brave Generals who ruled the four major provinces of Galah came together to form a group that would strike against the Empire under the leadership of Emperor Habicus.

Year 152.

With the help of other ministers, scholars of the empire, and the governors of the twenty towns of Galah, they succeeded in their strike against the then ruling Emperor Habicus. They killed the Emperor and his entire clan so that his race could not return to rule the Empire.

Instead of choosing a successor to the throne of being emperor. The four Generals decided to dissolve the empire and divide it into four kingdoms with equal recognition. Their province was became their kingdom.

Kingdom of Utara in the north which is led by General Aldo;

Kingdom of Timur in the east led by General August;

Kingdom of Selatan in the south led by General Ahum;

Kingdom of Barat in the west led by General Aldrich.

They were the Generals who became the first Kings of their respective Kingdoms.

The four kingdoms lived in peace without fear of each other, except for the two Empires that intend to conquer their kingdom to expand their territory. Every conqueror they immediately defeated because of their cooperation that's why no one dared to conquer it again.

Year 683.

More than five hundred years later, the peaceful association of the four kingdoms continued until their great-grandchildren.

Kingdom of the Utara in the north which is ruled by a young king, King Marquis. Upon the sudden death of the then reigning King, King Meritus from an illness, his then fifteen-year-old brother Prince Marquis succeeded him as the 12th King of the Northern Kingdom;

Selatan Kingdom in the south led by Papa Regala the 12th ruler of the Kingdom. Due to the closeness to God of the eighth King, King Acbar, he appointed his son Abelnam who then entered the temple of Halabat (as a priest) to lead their Kingdom, because Prince Abelnam did not want to be the King. King Acbar blessed his son to be the Priest and give the full authority to him to lead their Kingdom. Abelnam was the first Priest whom they later called Pope (The highest office of a Priest) who served and ruled the Kingdom of the South;

Kingdom of Barat in the west ruled by the 11th King of King Aldrich IV. During his leadership, the Kingdom he served became more popular because of his skill in communicating with other kingdoms and Empires.
