H3 Official Information of Various Ethnic Groups (Transfer)

1. Erathia [Castle]

The founding king of Erathia was Lyon (Rion Gryphonheart). He founded the city of Sdevik on the plains of the Phineassia River, and the kingdom was formed.

Not long after the founding of the state, Lyon launched a war for hegemony. At that time, the once-mighty Bracada Empire was dying under the blows of Tarnum, the god of war in the ruins of Krurod. Lyon decided to help Bracada, but also provoked war. The red-eyed Tarnum saw anyone who dared to oppose him as something to be eliminated.

Maybe Tarnum was too unpopular, or maybe the peasants needed a master in the midst of the war, and Leon won the battle, and Tarnum was killed (of course, he didn't really die). From then on, Erathia became the overlord, and remained so until the destruction of the world.

After Leon's death, his soul was stolen into hell by the devils. At this time, Tarnum was punished by the gods and became a knight again, helping Queen Allison to successfully launch the conquest of hell.

The third king of the kingdom was a tyrant who exhausted his national strength in order to attack Tartaglia and died on the battlefield of Tartaglia himself.

And his son, Niven, was an interesting king. When he saw his father's brutality against the people of Tartagria, he decided to fight back. But he is also a wise monarch who has restored the dignity of Erathia's overlord (as if he was Catherine's grandfather). It's so controversial.

When King Nicolas (Catherine's father) reigned, the kingdom continued to prosper. Although the necromancer Sandru relied on artifacts to attack during this period, with the joint help of Avili and Krulrod, he won the victory. Immediately afterwards, Nikolai understood the importance of the alliance and signed a holy alliance with Avili and Bracada. As a result, it turned out afterwards that this was Nikolai's smartest decision.

Nikolai was eventually poisoned by the greedy Lord Hart. This time the world was in chaos, various forces invaded, and the consul Kendall could not maintain the situation at all, and as a result, even the capital city of Stavik fell for a time. Fortunately, Queen Catherine arrived in time and united the two allies to counterattack and achieve the final victory.

The Unholy Alliance was unwilling to be defeated, and Iophserren relied on the Blade of Doom to invade again. Catherine and Roland, together with Govilli Forest Guerrilla Captain Gru, and the elemental creatures fought back and won a resounding victory. Cellon was killed in battle, and Iophor perished.

Subsequently, Catherine and Roland returned to Enroth, and Kendall became consul again. After that, the last wave of the Unholy Alliance's invasion, the Negon, was also defeated by the combined blows of Gru and Tarnum.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Ice Sword was stolen, which eventually led to the destruction of the world. Kendall was killed on the spot (presumably). The kingdom of Erathia, which had flourished for hundreds of years, perished.

2. AvLee [Barrier]

Avili seems to have been founded late, as there is no trace of him in the first few chronicles. Avili had a monarch, but not as much power as other nations.

Avili is located in a forest and has developed relatively slowly. It wasn't until the arrival of the famous witch Gem of Enroth that things gradually changed, but the neighboring kingdom of Deja, which was small but powerful in the army (in fact, it was originally Avili's), had already set its sights on Avili. Later, the necromancer Sandru successively deceived the Cloak of the Immortal King and the Armor of the Curse, and then relied on the power of the artifact to invade and slaughter the people. Gru and Gem joined forces with Krulord and Erathia, and after countless defeats, they finally found the Angel Alliance Excalibur and defeated the invincible Sandru in one fell swoop. After the war, Avili signed a Holy Alliance with Erathia and Bracada.

During the Reconquista, Avili decided to help Erathia, and they marched straight into Iover proper, forcing them to withdraw from the war first.

Later, Iophor made a comeback and provoked a war of doom. This time, Gru was so powerful that Catherine even gave him Erathia's highest honor, the Order of Bravery, which really made him a great deal of anger for the Aveli.

But soon, Gru began to search for and swore to destroy the evil artifact, the Sword of Ice. Tarnum knew that this would ruin the world and tried desperately to stop it. As a result, the sword was stolen by the barbarian queen Kija.

Gru was furious and decided to use the army of the kingdom to defeat Krulord, but unfortunately it caused a catastrophe, not only did his life fail, but Aveli's history came to an end.

If Aveli hadn't had Gru, he would have been destroyed a long time ago, and it was Gru who "turned out" Aveli, and it was Gru who was really successful and defeated. Is Gru really not worth it?

3. Bracada [Tower]

Bracada was founded and became famous very early. At the beginning of the chronicles, Bracadua was an empire (Bracaduun Empire), with Krulrod, Tataria, and even later most of Eracia as its colonies. But premature prosperity does not bode well and means that it is starting to go downhill. Sure enough, soon the heroic barbarian leader Tarnum launched an uprising, and after conquering Krulord and Tartaglia successively, he invaded the territory of Erathia and even wanted to attack Bracada itself. This led to the rapid collapse of the Bracada Empire. Fortunately, the Griffonheart Dynasty suddenly rose to power and defeated Tarnum, saving Bracada from destruction. But Bracada has lost a lot of benefits. The people of Bracada love magic, especially air magic, and have many magicians, and are known as the "Magic Country". However, the people of the country despise those who do not study magic and practice other magic, and finally provoke a rebellion. First, a group of sorcerers who practiced the dark system set up their own doors and established the kingdom of Dejia in the Aveli region, and then there were scandalous incidents such as Sandru's defection to Dejia and Yug's defection to Krulord, which made Brakada lose face.

Bracada had been recuperating since the fall of the empire and rarely fought wars. But during the Reconquista War, he still helped Erathia (presumably he saved his life in the past). They fought in the Battle of Savik and finally fought their former traitorous necromancers.

Soon, the young dragon slayer Draken succeeded in killing the blue dragon, and the news really shocked the people of Bracada who were recuperating.

Soon after, the catastrophe of world destruction occurred, but the people of Bracada calmly organized a mass transfer and rescued many people. Later, they also founded the new kingdom GreatArcan in the New World Axeoth.

4. Eeofol [Hell]

Iophor is a kingdom of the devil, so at first glance it is not a country that does justice, which is even more obvious after it joins the Unholy Alliance. The Iovers, also known as the Cragans, are notoriously cunning and treacherous, and they have successfully kidnapped King Roland, but their fighting prowess on the battlefield is truly flattering.

During the Erathia Reconquista, the Cregans cowered in front of the mighty city of Stavik; In the case of absolute superiority, it was easy for the Holy Alliance to liberate the city. What's more, after the Battle of Stavik, they were pursued by a non-elite force, and they all retreated to the mainland, leaving the Nigon army surrounded and suffering heavy casualties. Since then, the two countries have broken off diplomatic relations.

Then their country was in turmoil, King Xenofex was assassinated by a group of adventurers (Roland was also released by them), and finally Lucifer. Lucifer Kreegan seized the throne, and soon after, he sent his henchman Seryn to wage war again.

The demon army was successful at first, but soon came under a head-on attack, prompting Cellon to break through the blockade of the elemental creatures and obtain the Doomsday Blade (but also led to an alliance between the elementals and the righteous side). This was also very effective at first, as the Holy Alliance army retreated, but they stumbled upon the Orb of Stopping Magic......

As a result, when the Kergians discovered that Syron was wielding the Doomsday Blade indiscriminately to no avail, their morale was completely shattered. Gru took the opportunity to counterattack...... As a result, the situation has changed dramatically. The Holy Alliance turned defeat into victory, and in one fell swoop, it defeated the capital of Iorph, Krera. Cerlon's plea for help from Nigon had no effect, but instead made Gru even more aggressive. A few days later, the city was breached, Serren and Lucifer. Crane died in the rebellion.

The kingdom of Ioph, which had been strong for a time, perished.

5. Deyja [Cemetery]

The ancestors of the Deja were originally magicians of Bracada, but they focused on practicing dark magic, and as a result, they were all expelled and deported. The people of Bracada never dreamed that their actions would lead to the birth of the greatest evil force in the future.

The dark wizards arrived in Avili and forced the cowardly elves to cut out a piece of land. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dejia's military strength developed rapidly, and it occupied the top spot in the continental army in a short period of time.

A few years later, a Bracada wizard named Sandro used fraud to obtain the artifact, and then treasoned and installed Lord Vilmar as the puppet king of Dejia, with real power in his own hands. He then waged the War of the Shadow of Death against Erathia, Avili, and Krulod. At the beginning of the war, Dejia won successively, but in the end, Sandru made a tactical mistake, and the righteous side found the Angel Alliance, and finally sent Dejia's army back home.

After the war, Wilma staged a coup d'état and put Sandru in prison and became pro-government. At this time, during the War of Liberation, Dejia participated in the war again, and once captured all the northern territories of Egypt, and Stavik was in a hurry. However, Wilmar summoned the spirit of King Griffonhardt, but he himself was murdered. Catherine rode the expedition and finally won the victory.

After the war, Catherine Nimbus became king and became the puppet of the Holy Alliance. However, this regime did not last long before Sandru, Hart, and Clavius were overthrown and the Triumvirate was established.

At this time, Iofro once again launched the Doomsday War, and Sandru suggested taking the opportunity to raise an army to raid the rear of the Holy Alliance, and the battle was settled. Hart, on the other hand, insisted on fighting Tartaglia first and forming an army of the undead. In the end, Sandru relented.

Hart was defeated in his attack on Tartaglia, and soon after, the Holy Alliance army captured the capital of Kerella. Sandru lamented this.

After a series of wars, Dejia was finally no longer capable of waging a war of aggression, which remained until the destruction of the world. However, Sandru survived......

6. Nighon [Dungeon]

Nigon was originally a small country, but since the Black Dragon and Red Dragon Clan joined them, the country has flourished and finally become a great power. Their proud Dragon Army (Dragon Army) has also become the hegemon of the continent, like Dejia's undead army.

After the War of the Shadow of Death, in order to fight against the "Holy Alliance", Nigon signed the "Unholy Alliance" with Dejia and Iopher, and soon launched a large-scale attack on the occasion of the sudden death of King Elastia Gravelhardt.

The Nigons had a smooth start, winning successive battles, and at one point conquering the Elassian capital of Sdevik. But soon, Queen Catherine arrived with a large number of very elite reinforcements, and the evil side fell into a bitter battle. The Iof's army was crushed at the first touch, and treacherously fled into the country, so that the tunnels of the Nigon expeditionary force were discovered, and the army fell into a heavy siege, and after months of bloody fighting, most of them were martyred, and only a few troops managed to break through and fled back to the country. From then on, Nigon and Ioph turned against each other.

During the Doomsday War, a civil war broke out in Nigon, and the former ruler Ordwald was overthrown, and the female lord Mutare emerged as the final victor.

After the Doomsday War, Catherine returned to Enloth, and Morrill saw it as a great opportunity to send troops again. The Dragon War has begun.

At the beginning of the war, the Nigons still had the upper hand, and at one point they abducted all the good dragons, and invited the legendary rust dragons, crystal dragons, and even blue dragons to help. But the god of heroes, Tanan, helped the righteous side, and he not only rescued all the green dragons and golden dragons, but also recruited the fairy dragons to help.

As the two sides are at a stalemate, Morriel makes a serious mistake. She was anxious to take the two countries of Erathia and Avili in one fell swoop, so she divided her troops into two routes. The Nigon army was already numerically inferior, so the disadvantage was even more obvious.

Where would Tanan let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately concentrated the most elite troops of the Holy Alliance (such as the Christian Department and the Gru Department) and suddenly launched a general attack. As a result, the Nigon army was devastated, Moriel was nearly killed, and the dragon army she had worked so hard to manage was almost completely wiped out. Tanan also made an expedition to the Nigon mainland, and once again achieved great success, and the Nigons were forced to sign an unequal treaty, and Tanan withdrew his troops.

A few months later, Tanan came to Nigon again, but this time he had come to borrow troops, saying that Gru was looking for the Sword of Ice, which affected the safety of the whole world, and he wanted to borrow troops to stop it. No one expected Morriel to agree. Maybe after this defeat, she looked away from her fate and began to really think about the world.

Unfortunately, the invincible Tanan was not able to complete this seemingly simple task well, so he ......

7. Krewlod [Stronghold]

Before the Bracadoon Empire became strong, the barbarians also had their golden age, when most of the continent, including Bracado, was said to be the territory of Krurod, whose leader was said to be the Jarg. However, after the rise of Bracada, the barbarians were enslaved by the warlocks, and the story of Jagg gradually became a beautiful legend.

But Tanan is convinced that Jag's legend is true. In order to resist the tyranny of the sorcerers, he revolted several times, and finally succeeded in one case. Tanan was not satisfied with the results in front of him, and after conquering Tataria, he invaded the western part of Eracia, which was still a colony of Bracada at the time, and conquered the castle of Steel Horn, which was known as "never fall", almost reliving the myth of the Jagg era. Tanan is invincible and is known as the "God of War in Ruins".

However, when a close friend is killed in battle, Tanan becomes very violent and cruel. He vowed to kill all the warlocks in the world, even those who were unwilling to move on. Finally, King of Erathia, Leon. Griffonhardt finally defeated Tanan, ending Krolod's supremacy. At the armistice, the barbarians were forced to cede their land and pay reparations and submit to Erathia.

By the time of the reign of Duke Boragus, he tried to change this humiliating position, taking advantage of the sudden death of King Erathia, to invade in a big way. The barbarians had won many victories in the early stages of the war, but were dragged out of the battle against the Tatarian army. After completing the campaign to liberate Sdevik, Christian led his elite troops to attack the fighting armies of Tataglia and Krurod. The unprepared barbarians suffered a crushing defeat and were forced to flee back to their homes.

Most of the Krulogians forgave Bolagus. But Kiligor was an exception, and he even said, "Boragus cannot be honored by me unless he can stand at my grave!" As a result, he finally defeated Boragus in the "Sacrifice of Life" and became king. Boragus was brutally killed.

Immediately after coming to power, Caligen stopped paying tribute to Erathia and greatly expanded its armaments, causing the continent of Erathia to become cloudy again. He also sent Queen Kija to steal the Sword of Ice. Avelli's general, Gru, couldn't bear it anymore and led a large army to attack.

The battle was quite tragic, and both sides invested their troops. However, the Sword of Ice and the Blade of Doom met in battle, and the entire planet was reduced to ashes in the sound of fire and explosions.

8. Tatalia [Fortress]

Tartaglia was a colony of Bracada before its founding, but when the barbarians revolted, the warlocks were driven out, and Tarnum, the god of war, took control of Tataria and brought slavery with him. Later, Tanan was defeated by King Erathia, who in turn ruled by Erathia. The Erathians, who were feudal in their own country, practiced slavery here, plunging the people of Tatarya into misery once again.

Tanan, who has been reincarnated several times, finally decides to lead the Tatarya people to revolt in order to atone for his sins. As a result, in the muddy swamps, the proud Elasia army suffered repeated defeats, and finally the king of Erathia was killed here. The name of the country was given during the uprising, which means "community", and it symbolizes the unity of the whole people. The rebel general Droglo became the first king, and Prince Niven of Erathia, who defected in the war, became the first king of Erathia.

After that, Tataglia and Erathia although there was frequent friction, but until the Erathia king Nikolai. When Griffonhardt died suddenly and the situation was in turmoil, King Tralossk decided to attack Erathia in a big way. Although the start went smoothly this time, the Tatarlia army was defeated by Christian's lightning tactics.

During the Doomsday War, the dark lord of Deja, Haart, invaded again, but Adrienne, the fire witch, led an army to defeat Hart's army of black knights. The unfathomable swamps of Tartaglia once again became the Waterloo of the military strategists, and the Tatarians changed their discrimination against fire witches.

This is Tartaglia, one of the most difficult countries on the entire continent to conquer, until the world is destroyed, and no force dares to invade again.

*9.Elemental City

Elemental City is quite special, and has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, which is not mentioned much in the historical games of the Elemental Clan.
