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.
As the king's rule has weakened in recent years, thieves and Goblins have become more of a problem in the Capital. The Pooka have apparently never made much of an appearance in Titania: Prince Cornelius has never seen or heard of them before, his father King Edmund doesn't seem to know what to make of a pooka when he sees one, and one of the nation's Axe Knights asks the Pooka-cursed Cornelius if he isn't a Goblin of some kind.
