The Myrtle Kingdom was the richest and most admirable nation next to the empire and with the force and connection of the Church of Light, the number one religion in the Continent of Aurora, even the empire would not be able to easily offend the Myrtle.
But it was not the only thing that made the kingdom of Myrtle prestigious. It was also supported by four dukedoms, mainly known as the four pillars of the Myrtle Kingdom.
The first dukedom was the Dukedom of Hecrihes. The family was quite powerful and had a lot of control due to their strength. They are known for being one of the strongest knights in the kingdom and rumored to be able to rival even that of the Imperial Knights of the Empire. They were the sword and protectors of the king and the empire.
Then next was the Dukedom of Verselli, the land of the sea and naval forces of the kingdom.
