Background History[]
The Kingdom of Titania was established in sometime of the early mid of 7th century by a single germanic tribal group who had leading war lord chiefs that acts as their leader, the kingdom first started as a small wooden stock fort filled with group of tents and weapon armory inside before it's gradual transition into a large town with a wooden stone castle on it's center which is considered as the country's main building where the kingdom's royal family owner resides and surrounded by a circular tall wooden stone walls, eventually forming it a kingdom nation.
Few decades before the main storyline events of erion saga, when the kingdom of titania was under king gallon's reign, this kingdom tried to expand further north by colonizing the nearby forest on their north direction that turned out to be unsuccessful after the titanians lose their fight against the aesirs after the ragnanival kingdom declared a war and launch an attack against the titanians in the elrit forest for bordering their kingdom's barrier border boundaries with their territorial expansion in the elrit forest that is viewed by the aesirs as a threat to the sovereignty and boundaries of their kingdom.
The ragnanival forces attacked in vast numbers against the titanian forces that outnumbered them causing for the titanians to lose the war against the aesirs, forcing them to withdraw their forces from the elrit forest and abandon the castle fortress they've just bulit a few years ago during their expansion in the further north, the castle fortress they left out in the region forcibly became known as the "abandoned castle" which would later be claimed by demon lord odin after their forces victory against the titanians, since this devastating lost that the titanians had, the kingdom of titania stopped their intentions of conquering other places in the continent to avoid having this same situation again, which might cause for their perceived enemies to invade their kingdom after their defeat in the war if they ever experienced this again.
Because of the devastating lost that they had in the elrit forest, the kingdom stayed out of any incoming future occurring conflicts in the continent and that continued to happen even through during the time of the main storyline event and the kingdom of titania was able to maintain peace in their nation for a period of temporary time for being neutral most of the time since the elrit forest colonization conflict.

- The kingdom's name "titania" was supposedly intended to be named after the fairy princess of the ringford kingdom, mercedes but however since the making of kingdom of titania model and it's naming came first before the fairy princess of ringford could be made and named after "titania" and the developers felt that it would be too diffcult to reverse all of their works for the kingdom of titania if they have to undo the name of a nation faction just to give the name to the character where it is actually intended for, so they instead let it keep that way and give the ringford fairy princess with a different name and they chose the name of "mercedes" for the character and their reason is because it symbolizes holiness due to her ties of being "world tree" according to the actual mythological culture of old norse mythology, and the fact that mercedes name is a girl name of spanish language origin and it has holiness meaning of it according to the language where it originally belongs, and one another purpose is that to make it an easily remembered name for a character.
- Titania is the name of a character from William Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is a curious choice, as the character in that play is the queen of the fairies. In Vanillaware's other game, Grim Grimoire, there is a magic rune for Glamour called "Titania."
