Overview

An island nation that was once part of the greater Imajikan Empire, Alba is the very picture of a modern monarchy, lead by the benevolent King Michael who is supported by lesser nobles and landowners. Composed of rolling hills and fields, the land is ideal for farming, with port cities open for trade on almost all of its coastal range. The capitol city of York is located in the north central portion of the island, in what was once a verdant set of fields but is now a modern urban center. The people are mostly Human with a significant number of Gael’braugh living as an integrated part Alban society, including the nobility. Culturally, the people are hardworking and earnest, leading to a society where skill is prized, and the people are stiff in the face of adversity. The most common religious observance is to the Thracian pantheon, but observance of Sidhe deities from Gael’braugh influence is also widespread. While only one among the many important events that have occurred in Alba in the last twenty years, the failed Crusade of King Richard, his eventual return leading an army of the undead, and subsequent defeat; has had a great effect on world events. Alba most closely matches real world England during the middle ages in its geography and culture.
